Program content positioning method and program content positioning device

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for and a device positioning program content which are used for increasing the position efficiency of program content and improving the experience of user. The method of the invention includes: when the program is played, whether the position condition of program content is met is judged; if the condition is met, the length information of each step length in a preset step length group is obtained; according to the gradual increasing method of the length information; until the preset condition of the stop position is met, the program content is processed in FF operation or REW operation with a related step length selected. The invention also provides a device for positioning the program content. The invention is capable of effectively increasing the position efficiency of program content and also improving the experience of the user.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of data processing, in particular to a program content locating method and a program content locating device. Background technique [0002] With the popularization of digital TV services, the number of users who use digital TV services through set-top boxes is also increasing. In the process of watching digital TV programs, users often perform adaptive playback according to their own needs, and some program content needs to be modified. Positioning operations, such as fast forward or rewind, etc. [0003] In the prior art, a method for locating program content based on a set-top box is as follows: locating to a certain playback point by moving the control bar of the player. [0004] In this way, the forward / backward of the control bar is realized by operating the remote control button. After each button is pressed, the program can determine the playback position by adding / subtracting the moving step time based on the...

Problems solved by technology

[0007] However, in this way, after the user inputs a certain playing time, the program content is directly switched to the content corresponding to the playing time. For programs that are relatively unfamiliar to the user, the user may not know the program content corresponding to the playing time;

[0008] In addition, because the program content positioning is performed by directly switching screens, the user cannot browse the content preview between the current playback time and the user's desired playback time, thus reducing user experience and affecting the efficiency of program content positioning
