Description

technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to mobile terminal equipment in the standard field of CMMB (China Mobile Multimedia Broadcasting, commonly known as mobile phone TV), in particular to a method and device for quickly searching TV program information. Background technique

[0002] The State Administration of Radio, Film and Television has identified CMMB as the industry standard for mobile multimedia broadcasting independently developed by my country. In terms of technical characteristics, CMMB is also a kind of digital TV technology.

[0003] The existing mobile terminal devices that support CMMB have a general search effect, and currently only 10 programs can be watched, including: CCTV1, CCTV3, CCTV Olympics, CCTV9, CCTV News, CCTV Children, the first set of local stations, and the second set of local stations etc., users can only passively watch the programs broadcast in real time. If the user wants to watch the broadcast time and the channel of the p...
