epg system based on deep program information and its realization method

Abstract

The purpose of the present invention is to provide an EPG system based on in-depth program information and its realization method. The EPG system provided by the present invention classifies all program contents in TV channels and VOD resource databases, realizes accurate positioning of programs required by users, and enriches content pages of programs through an in-depth information database. In addition, the EPG system provided by the present invention also provides a program depth information link, and the user can obtain extended depth information after clicking on the corresponding depth EPG information; by making association recommendations on the extended depth information window, a direct association between programs can be established The network expands the user's selection path, enabling users to find other content related to the programs they are interested in more conveniently. The invention breaks the limitation of channel and time on users, and can provide the functions of time-shifting, live broadcasting, reservation and VOD resource library of all TV channels playing the content of the program for the selected program.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an EPG system and its realization method, in particular to an EPG system based on in-depth program information and its realization method. Background technique [0002] The continuous advancement of the "triple play" process has brought about the rapid development of digital TV technology, and the TV programs that users can currently watch are not only rich in content but also in various varieties. Faced with a large number of TV channels and TV programs, how to conveniently and accurately locate their favorite TV content and obtain various related program information in a timely manner has become the primary concern of users. [0003] Electronic Program Guide (EPG) is one of the effective solutions to solve the above problems. It provides users with an intuitive, fast and friendly way to access TV programs. However, most current EPG systems only present A simple linear text table of channel and time information, so users need...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] Electronic Program Guide (EPG) is one of the effective solutions to solve the above problems. It provides users with an intuitive, fast and friendly way to access TV programs. However, most current EPG systems only present A simple linear text table of channel and time information, so users need to spend a lot of time searching for programs that may be of interest in the 7 days x 24 hours time and space domain, and cannot fully utilize the functional advantages of the EPG system

When the user watches a specific program, it needs to manually search through a large number of channels, which is quite time-consuming

[0004]In addition, when selecting a specific program, the common EPG system currently on the market only presents a simple description of the program information to the user, and fails to provide detailed and in-depth program information (such as plot, director introduction, actor information and other program-related details), so there is also a lack of in-depth digging and organization of program information

[0005] such as As shown in Figure 1, in the existing EPG system, the path for users to select programs is single. When entering a specific program page and wanting to select other programs, they need to exit the current program page to proceed to the next step.
