Abstract

The embodiment of the invention discloses a method for obtaining media content by using a unified electronic program guide (EPG) and a device thereof. The device comprises inter-connected units for generating EPG and obtaining position information and a media playing module. By adopting the method and the device provided by the embodiment of the invention, a corresponding relationship is established between description information of broadcasting programs in a digital TV and the description information of broadband programs in an IPTV (internet protocol TV); an EPG page, including the corresponding description information of the broadcasting programs in the digital TV and the corresponding description information of the broadband programs in the IPTV, is generated; the position information and the media content, to which the position information points, is obtained through the description information of the programs when the programs in the EPG page are selected. The embodiment of theinvention ensures that a user terminal can, according to the unified EPG, obtain the media content including the broadcasting program content in the digital TV and the broadband program content in the IPTV.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the fields of digital television and Internet protocol television (IPTV), in particular to a method and a device for acquiring media content by using a unified electronic program guide (EPG). Background technique [0002] At present, digital TV occupies a large market because of its bandwidth advantages, and IPTV also occupies a very important position because of its strong interactive capabilities; although IPTV has more prominent interactivity in the current network environment, due to the network Due to environmental reasons, digital TV and IPTV will coexist for a long period of time. [0003] At present, the home network terminal (HNED) can only relatively independently receive digital TV broadcast program content from the digital TV broadcast service system or broadband program content from the IPTV broadband service system, and no system can uniformly provide digital TV broadcast for HNED Media content such as program co...
