Problems solved by technology

[0009] Occupies a lot of storage space on IPTV terminals: There are generally thousands or tens of thousands of on-demand programs. Downloading the data of these programs to IPTV terminals requires a large storage space, and some on-demand programs are rarely accessed. Relevant data is rarely used, resulting in waste of terminal equipment space usage;

Embodiment 1

[0057] Referring to Fig. 1, the present embodiment provides a method for downloading program data, the method comprising:

[0058] 101: Receive data sent by an electronic program index server;

[0059] 102: Display program information to the user according to the received data;

[0060]103: When it is determined that the user's browsing focus stays on the current program for a preset time, download the non-plain text content corresponding to the current program from the electronic program index server, wherein the non-plain text content includes: one of pictures, videos or audio One or any combination, for example, when the data corresponding to the current program includes picture data and video data, the picture data and video data will be downloaded at the same time.

[0061] When the user browses programs, when the focus moves to a certain program, if the program has corresponding posters, advertisements, video or audio program data stored on the EPG server, the IPTV term...

Embodiment 2

[0071] This embodiment provides a method for downloading program data, which is implemented by downloading data by category or by downloading data by segment. This method can be used in combination with the method for downloading program data provided in Embodiment 1, or it can be used alone use.

[0072] 1) The way to classify and download data is as follows:

[0073] When the user enters the on-demand program of the current level, the IPTV terminal will send a download request to the EPG server, informing the EPG server of the level of the program that the user enters, so as to download the data of the next level sub-column of the current level of on-demand program or the current level of on-demand program The content data of the column;

[0074] When the EPG server receives a request to enter a column of a certain level, it reads the next-level sub-section of the column in the database or memory or the content data of the program corresponding to the column of this level, ...

Embodiment 3

[0088] Referring to Figure 3, a system for downloading program data includes a terminal device and a server, wherein the terminal device includes:

[0089] The receiving module is used to receive the data sent by the server;

[0090] a display module, configured to display program information to the user according to the data received by the receiving module;

[0091] The delayed download module is used to determine that when the focus of the user's browsing reaches the preset time when the current program stays, send a request to the server to download the non-plain text content corresponding to the current program. The non-plain text content includes pictures, videos or audio at least one of

[0092] The server is used to receive the request from the terminal device for downloading the non-plain text content corresponding to the current program, read the non-plain text content corresponding to the current program from the database or memory, and send the non-plain text cont...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method, a system and a terminal device for downloading the program data, which belong to the communication field. The method includes that the data transmitted by an electronic program index server are received; the program information is showed to the user according to the data; the focus point browsed by the user is ensured to reach the preset time during the staying time of the current program; non-plain text content corresponding to the current program is downloaded from the electronic program index server. The system comprises a terminal device and a server; the terminal device comprises a receiving module, a showing module and a delay downloading module. In the method, the focus point browsed by the user is ensured to reach the preset time during the staying time of the current program; the non-plain text content corresponding to the current program is downloaded from the server; all the data in the server are not needed to be downloaded to the terminal device; only the non-plain text content needed by the user is downloaded; the space occupied by the non-plain text content in the terminal device is saved; thereby, the capacity requirement for the terminal device is lowered.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the communication field, in particular to a method, system and terminal equipment for downloading program data. Background technique [0002] IPTV (IP Television, IP TV) is an emerging hot business, providing users with basic services such as live video, on-demand, and TV time-shifting through IP technology, and providing EPG (Electronic Program Guide, electronic program index) for users to conveniently and quickly Browse live and on-demand programs and value-added services. [0003] EPG is the portal provided by IPTV services to users, and is an important part of IPTV. The response speed of EPG directly affects user satisfaction. However, affected by the speed and quality of the network, the response speed of EPG has become a difficult problem for IPTV. [0004] The display of EPG can be through page transmission or data transmission. The page transmission adopts the relatively popular browser / server mode, and the data analy...
