Method, server and terminal of discovering interactive electric service instruction

Abstract

The embodiment of the present invention discloses a method of discovering an interactive electronic service guide, which includes two steps. Firstly, a server side issues the information related to the discovery of an interactive ESG (electronic service guide) service to a terminal via a broadcast channel; secondly, from the broadcast channel, the terminal obtains the information used for the discovery of the interactive ESG service. The embodiment of the present invention also discloses the server end and the terminal, wherein, the server side includes the sending module of the information related to the discovery of the interactive ESG service and the issuing module of an ESG provider list. The terminal includes the receiving module of the information related to the discovery of the interactive ESG service and the receiving module of the ESG provider list. By utilizing the method disclosed by the embodiment of the present invention, the terminal can be prevented from submitting a query request to an interactive ESG service query server, such as a UDDI (Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration) server, thus effectively reducing the load of an interactive channel and increasing the use rate of the interactive channel.

Description

technical field The invention relates to the application layer technology of mobile communication, in particular to a method for discovering an interactive electronic service guide, a server end and a terminal. Background technique Electronic Service Guide (ESG) is a very important aspect of the application layer technology of mobile communication. End users can use ESG to conveniently view information about various services, browse video channels, program lists and price lists, etc., select and purchase prices Any item in the table, as well as links to external web browsing related information, etc. Currently, there are two ESG methods, one is broadcast ESG; the other is interactive ESG. In the broadcast ESG, the terminal initializes through the bootstrapping session of the broadcast ESG, reads the ESG provider list from the ESG discovery information and displays it to the terminal user; after the terminal user selects an ESG provider, the terminal automatically The ESG ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

To sum up, in the prior art, it is found that the technical solutions of interactive ESG require the interaction between the terminal and the server to obtain the invocation information of the Web service, which will increase the load of the interactive channel and reduce the efficiency of the interactive channel.
