Abstract

Disclosed is an electronic program guide (EPG) refreshing method, comprising the following steps: when a main thread detects an EPG-based focus switching instruction, switching, by the main thread, a focus according to the focus switching instruction, and generating a corresponding program information acquisition request; transmitting, by the main thread, the program information acquisition request to a thread controller; creating, by the thread controller, a data acquisition sub-thread according to the program information acquisition request; acquiring, by the data acquisition sub-thread, corresponding program information, and transmitting the program information to the main thread; and refreshing, by the main thread, an EPG according to the received program information. Also disclosed is an EPG refreshing system. The present invention addresses the problem of interruption during EPG refreshing.

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, EPG (Electronic Program Guide, electronic program menu) is usually used to provide index and navigation of various services for the TV. Through the EPG, users can choose their favorite channels, order their favorite programs, search for various information, etc. . 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 EP...
