Problems solved by technology

[0005] Considering the problem of the traditional EPG display method, since the time period for displaying EPG information is fixed, it is impossible to view EPG information in a wide range at the same time, and when the time width of displaying EPG information increases, the display space of EPG information decreases and the EPG information is difficult to view , the present invention provides a method for displaying EPG information, which can view EPG information of a wider time period and channel at the same time and even when displaying a wider range of EPG information, it will not be difficult to view the EPG information due to insufficient display space

Embodiment 2

[0125]Next, a second embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings, in which a case of searching for EPG information will be described. The configuration of this embodiment will not be described because it is the same as that of the first embodiment.

[0126] FIG. 5 shows the flow of operations performed when a currently broadcast program is selected.

[0127] The entire screen 61 is a display screen in which the currently selected program is displayed on the entire screen. EPG3 (62) is a display screen in which EPG information of 3 channels is displayed such that the currently selected program is centered, corresponding to FIG. 16 described in the first embodiment. EPG5 (63) is a display mask in which EPG information of 5 channels is displayed so that the currently selected program is located at the center, equivalent to that described in the first embodiment Figure 17 . EPG 11 (64) is a display screen in which EPG information of 11 channels is displayed suc...

Embodiment 3

[0138] A third embodiment will be described below with reference to the drawings. In this embodiment, a case will be described where recording, programming of timer recording, reproduction, viewing and programming of timer watching (timewatching) are performed by using an external recording / reproducing device. The configuration of this embodiment will not be described because it is the same as that of the first embodiment.

[0139] Programs and EPG information transmitted from the broadcasting station in FIG. 1 are input to input switching means 3 through tuner 2 . Programs and programs stored in an external recording / reproducing device such as VTRI0, DVD11 or HDD12 are operated using the remote control unit based on the display produced by the EPG screen generating means 4. As a result, the EPG data is associated with the external device via the peripheral / EPG data correlation means 7 . Receiving this result, the external recording device control signal generating means 21 ...

Abstract

An EPG information display method wherein all or some of EPG information of a predetermined channel and time frame is displayed, in response to a predetermined zoom command, EPG information of channels or time frames larger or smaller in number than channels or time frames displayed immediately before the zoom command is provided is displayed, and in doing this, an amount of information in accordance with a degree of zooming is selected and displayed.

Description

field of invention [0001] The present invention relates to an EPG information display method, an EPG information display device, a recorder / reproducer and a program recording medium for displaying EPG information during television broadcasting. Background technique [0002] Currently, broadcast schedules of television programs are provided to viewers through newspapers and magazines. It is proposed to replace newspapers and magazines with EPG (Electronic Program Guide). In the future, the broadcast schedule of TV programs will be provided to viewers with the help of EPG. An EPG transmitted from a TV station or the like is a TV program broadcast schedule as displayed in newspapers and magazines today. In the EPG, the date, period, channel, program title, performer, etc. of the program are displayed for each program. [0003] With the help of Figure 26 An example of conventional EPG information display is described. Figure 26 An example of conventional EPG information dis...
