Electronic program guide (EPG) system for providing social network service

Abstract

The invention relates to an electronic program guide (EPG) system for providing social network service, which can be used for providing information interaction function used for social behavior for one or more user(s). The EPG system comprises a media server system and a terminal system, wherein the media server system is used for retrieving and analyzing the social behavior information of the user and the program information so as to generate corresponding EPG information; the generated EPG information is sent into the terminal system through a transmission network; and after being received by the terminal system, the EPG information can be presented by an EPG showing module. The EPG system can be used for recognizing the identity of the registered user and managing the social behavior circle which the user belongs to, thus effectively guaranteeing the privacy of the personal information of the user. Meanwhile, the interaction information of the registered user can be screened, so that the personalized information sharing demand of part of the users can be met.
