Electronic program guide making method

Abstract

The invention provides an electronic program guide making method, which relates to the technical field of electronic program guides. The method comprises the following steps of: acquiring parameter values of different program sources; storing the acquired parameter values; classifying the acquired parameter values according to program types; and performing class integration to generate the electronic program guide. The electronic program guide making method has the advantages that: image information is combined with text information, so that the electronic program guide can be applied to a passive television program guide, an interactive television program guide, an online television program guide and an on-demand television program guide; television program text information, information icons, graphics logos, trademarks, star portraits, attached indicators and advertisements can be displayed in the program guide to enhance the television program guide; and simultaneously, electronic program information in the electronic program guide is required to be classified accurately.

Problems solved by technology

Although this electronic program list with only image form can visually see the program image information, it cannot make the audience or users clearly and intuitively know the information such as the TV programs and titles that the electronic program list will present. The program list will not generate a sense of trust

[0011] At present, there is no electronic program list that can integrate image information and text information, has a beautiful appearance, can be easily recognized by people, and can be accurately classified during the production process of the electronic program list, and can produce an electronic program list with exquisite images and accurate text information
