Problems solved by technology

[0002] Watching TV is a common entertainment for modern people. Fortunately, there are many different types of TV programs to choose from. It is a difficult problem. For example, if a user who is watching TV wants to watch a movie program, the user must first recall which channels play movies. Assuming that channels 12, 25 and 88 are movie channels, the user has to use the remote control to The device switches between channels 12, 25 and 88. In addition, if the user wants to watch golf programs instead, the user must first recall which channels broadcast golf programs. Suppose channels 15, 33 and 42 are golf programs. Programs, the user has to switch between channels 15, 33 and 42 to confirm whether there is a golf program now. In other words, people watching TV must remember the corresponding channel numbers of all interested program types. For users, it is quite inconvenient and inefficient

Embodiment Construction

[0018] Please refer to FIG. 1 . FIG. 1 is a simplified functional block diagram of an embodiment of a multimedia device 100 of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1 , the multimedia device 100 includes a storage device 120 , a control circuit 140 and a recording device 180 . The multimedia device 100 is used to set channel content, and the control circuit 140 is coupled to the storage device 120 and a real-time multimedia stream source (live multimedia stream source) 160. For example, the real-time multimedia stream source 160 can be a TV (analogTV, Cable TV) service provider, a digital TV (Digital TV, DTV) service provider or an Internet protocol TV (Internet protocol TV, IPTV) service provider. The control circuit 140 is used to associate a specific channel with a specific program type, and the specific program type can be a golf, a classical music, a Japanese serial drama, etc. At least one pre-stored program (Pre-stored program), that is, when the specific program typ...

Abstract

Methods and apparatus for setting channel contents are provided. A method includes: associating a specific channel with a specific program category; assigning a program to the selected specific channel when the specific channel is selected and the program corresponding to the specific program category is available from a live multimedia stream source; and assigning at least a pre-stored program corresponding to the specific program category from a storage device to the selected specific channel when the specific channel is selected and the program corresponding to the specific program category is unavailable from the live multimedia stream source. Therefore, a user can easily and conveniently watch programs corresponding to a favorite program category on the selected specific channel.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to playing sound / image data, especially a method for setting channel content corresponding to a specific program type, a method for playing programs and related devices.
