Detailed description of the invention
Describing embodiments of the present invention in detail below with reference to drawings and Examples, to the present invention, how application technology means solve technical problem whereby, and the process that realizes reaching technique effect can fully understand and implement according to this.
First, if do not conflicted, be combineding with each other of the embodiment of the present invention and each feature in embodiment, all within protection scope of the present invention.Although it addition, illustrate logical order in flow charts, but in some cases, it is possible to perform shown or described step with the order being different from herein.
Fig. 1 is the schematic flow sheet of the rendering method of the EPG of the embodiment of the present invention.As it is shown in figure 1, the present embodiment mainly comprises the steps:
Step S110, classifies to all of EPG information according to program category, it is thus achieved that at least two EPG classifies, such as these two EPG classification respectively an EPG classification and the 2nd EPG classification.
Step S120, the display picture of EPG presents the information of at least one program under this at least two EPG classification, wherein an EPG classification, also presents the identification information (the identification picture etc. such as this TV play " hiding ") of the first program (such as TV play " hiding ") in this at least one program.
This step S120 realizes process, including:
The display X direction of picture of EPG and one of them direction of y direction present this at least two EPG classification, other direction presents the information of at least one program under an EPG classification;
The first segment purpose identification information in this at least one program is presented in the main viewing area of the display picture of EPG.
As it is shown in figure 1, embodiments of the invention can also comprise the steps:
Step S130, receives user and operates according to the selection of the display picture and selecting target program of EPG;
Step S140, the selection based on the user received operates, and the EPG information of this target program is polymerized, it is thus achieved that the broadcast information (such as recent broadcast time, broadcast how many collection etc.) relevant to this target program;
Step S150, shows the broadcast information relevant to this target program, it is simple to user confirms to select operation.
Above-mentioned steps S140 realizes process, including:
From data base, inquire about this target program recent broadcast information on all optional channels, broadcast the broadcast information that information acquisition is relevant to this target program according to this in the recent period.
Such as, in embodiments of the invention, what present in X direction is the EPG classification such as news, variety, TV play and film, and what y direction presented is the information of the such as news controlling of news hookup, News Express etc. under this EPG of the news classification being sequentially arranged.In other embodiments of the invention, the information that information X direction presented and y direction present can with the exchange in previous embodiment.In a word, in embodiments of the invention, the X direction of display picture of EPG and one of them direction of y direction present EPG classification, other direction presents the information of a certain EPG classification at least one program lower.
For another example, in other embodiments of the invention, X direction presents can also be the program broadcasted, the program preengage, some program classifications (such as include Domestic News, literature and art amusement, science and education, physical culture, life, green grass or young crops less, film, TV play etc.) information etc.;And the longitudinal axis shows corresponding content according to current classification information, for the program broadcasted, show the content information of the program that each channel currently broadcasting;For the program preengage, show the content information of the program preengage by broadcast time order;Program under same classification is arranged sequentially in time.
What Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 was based on the EPG that the technical scheme of the present embodiment realizes presents schematic diagram.Wherein, what Fig. 2 presented is the schematic diagram of the program broadcasted, and what Fig. 3 presented is the schematic diagram of classification program.
EPG picture shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, user by moving left and right the classification switching program, can check other programs by moving up and down, or selects certain program to check details.
In the present embodiment, for the program (such as, TV play etc.) of orderly class, serve as theme with the predefined procedure (the collection of drama order such as TV play) of program and present relevant EPG classification, as shown in Figure 4;For the program (such as, football etc. all over the world) of unordered class, then present relevant EPG classification in chronological order, as shown in Figure 5.
Further, while checking program detail information, user can carry out channel switch (program to currently broadcasting), displaying predetermined programme (program to broadcasting in the future), or operations such as (to the programs having been played out, it is desirable to have backstage provides service) is watched in playback.
EPG presentation mode given by embodiments of the invention has two features:
One is that classifying content presents, and according to the classification of EPG information content, all of EPG information is classified, allow user can according to EPG classification check different classes of under program (as shown in Figures 2 and 3);
Two is EPG information polymerization, the all relevant EPG information of its same content (such as, TV play " is hidden ") presents to user together at (including different channel, different collection of dramas), allowing user select suitable channel, the suitable time watches (as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5).
These two parts have coordinated EPG look facility.
When practical application, user first passes through in the classification view shown in Fig. 2 or Fig. 3 and finds the program (such as TV play " is hidden ") to see, then clicks on this program, enters Fig. 4 or Fig. 5, check the EPG information that (to TV play " hiding ") is relevant, then select time and channel to watch program;Or user selects to return Fig. 2 or Fig. 3 from Fig. 4 or Fig. 5, reselects the program of other classification.
What embodiments of the invention additionally provided a kind of electronic program list presents device.In conjunction with the embodiment of the rendering method of the EPG shown in earlier figures 1, the device that presents of the present embodiment shown in Fig. 6 mainly includes sort module 610 and presents module 620, wherein:
