Abstract

The present invention discloses an EPG refreshing method which comprises the following steps that: when a main thread detects the presence of a focus switching command based an EPG, the main thread switches a focus and generates a corresponding program information acquisition request; the main thread sends the program information acquisition request to a thread controller; the thread controller creates a data acquisition sub thread according to the program information acquisition request; the data acquisition sub thread obtains corresponding program information and sends the program information to the main thread; and the main thread refreshes the EPG according to the received program information. The invention also discloses an EPG refreshing system. The problem of jamming in EPG refreshing can be solved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of television, in particular to an EPG refreshing method and system. Background technique [0002] In the prior art, an EPG (Electronic Program Guide, Electronic Program Guide) is usually used to provide indexing and navigation of various services for the TV. Users can select their favorite channels, order their favorite programs, and search for various information through the EPG. After the user enters the EPG interface, he can control the focus to select his favorite program through the buttons of the remote control, and the EPG will load and display the detailed information of the program. However, the main thread of EPG is responsible for the processing of focus switching, acquisition of program information, and loading and display. When the user continuously inputs focus switching commands through the remote control within a short period of time, the main thread processing will be blocked, resulting in ...
