Display method of electronic program guide

Abstract

The invention discloses a display method of an electronic program guide. The display method includes dividing the electronic program guide (EPG) into a plurality of first-level guides in parallel, enabling each first-level guide to be provided with a plurality of second-level guides and each second-level guide to be provided with guides in different levels, dividing a display area of the EPG into at least three rows, dividing each row into a plurality of cases, enabling each case in the first row to display one first-level guide, enabling each case in the second row to display the second-level guides of each first-level guide and enabling each case in the third row to display three-level guides of each second-level guide. By means of the technical scheme, users can change arrangement of the EPG at will and insert or delete case content at will to combine new content without damaging the whole content framework. Focus movement cannot change with change of pages, so that form correcting efficiency is greatly improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of IPTV (Interactive Personality TV, personalized interactive television), in particular to a method for displaying an Electronic Program Guide (EPG, Electronic Program Guide). Background technique [0002] At present, the mainstream EPG in China adopts a tiled display method. This method allows the ICON (graphic logo) to be tiled on the EPG, giving the user a messy feeling. At the same time, the interactive operation is complicated and requires user operations from beginning to end. several steps. Most of the EPG architecture adopts the traditional tree structure, which gives users a feeling similar to the website browsing effect on the PC side on the TV side. This kind of structure has a deep hierarchy. When the EPG is revised, there is no way to flexibly add new product content. The reduction of content needs to be done after the home page is modified, and all interfaces need to be modified, and ...

[0002] At present, the mainstream EPG in China adopts a tiled display method. This method allows the ICON (graphic logo) to be tiled on the EPG, giving the user a messy feeling. At the same time, the interactive operation is complicated and requires user operations from beginning to end. several steps

Most of the EPG architecture adopts the traditional tree structure, which gives users a feeling similar to the website browsing effect on the PC side on the TV side. This kind of structure has a deep hierarchy. When the EPG is revised, there is no way to flexibly add new product content. The content needs to be modified after the home page is modified. All interfaces need to be modified, and the focus needs to be re-corresponded. The workload is heavy and the efficiency is low, and the user needs several operations to reach the target page.

[0003] At present, Internet TV manufacturers do not have an account that can be universally managed and shared storage content on TVs, computers, and mobile terminals (such as mobile phones or tablets)
