Multi-day electronic program guide obtaining method and system

Abstract

The invention relates to a multi-day electronic program guide obtaining method and system. An engineering machine is arranged at the front end of a digital television; the engineering machine is controlled to receive and cache the multi-day EPGs of all frequency point television programs circularly; the multi-day EPGs of all frequency point television programs are packaged into JSON format EPG data and are uploaded to a preset downloading server; when a user needs to view the multi-day EPGs, a downloading instruction controlled and sent by the user is obtained; the JSON format EPG data is downloaded from the downloading server to a user set top box or a mobile device; the JSON format EPG data is analyzed so as to obtain the multi-day EPGs of all frequency point television programs for the user to view. According to the method and the system provided by the invention, when the user needs to view the multi-day EPGs, the JSON format EPG data is downloaded from the downloading server to the terminal; the multi-day EPGs of all frequency points can be obtained once; it is unnecessary to lock, analyze and obtain one frequency point every time; the time is saved; the user is unnecessary to wait; and therefore, great convenience and good use experience are brought to the user.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the communication field, in particular to a method and system for acquiring a multi-day electronic program guide. Background technique [0002] Digital TV multi-day EPG (Electronic Program Guide) brings users an intuitive and convenient viewing experience of TV programs. In the era of analog TV, most of the weekly TV program schedules were obtained through TV newspapers. Currently, digital TV multi-day EPGs are used to obtain online, which brings great convenience to users. [0003] At present, the way for digital TV to obtain multi-day EPG is to lock a certain frequency point through the digital signal receiver (Tuner) of the set-top box, and receive the multi-day EPG of all TV programs under the locked frequency point, that is, from the TS of the current locked frequency point The EIT table (event information table) of the SI is parsed from the stream (transport stream), and the multi-day EPG information of the program at th...
