Embodiment Construction

[0020] refer to figure 1 , the system 10 for programming events includes a programming device (EPG device or device) 11, one or more antennas 12 for retrieving information about events available or seen by the user, for commanding and controlling the EPG A data input and command unit (keyboard) 14 of the device 11, and one or more sets (device) 15 for reproducing events.

[0021] An antenna 12, known per se, is connected in a known manner to the EPG device 11 via an interface unit of known type and communicates with a unit capable of transmitting to the EPG device 11 information about available events, such as different TV channels and and / or list of events of the day or week for broadcast channels and / or multimedia channels.

[0022] The term "antenna" 12 is used here in a broad sense and also includes devices for connecting to a network such as a local area network and / or the Internet and enabling retrieval of information relating to events available to the user.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a device (11), system and method for programming and reproducing events, for instance television events, wherein the device (11) is able to prearrange, based on a list of events accessible by a user and of demands expressed by the same user, a programming guide, corresponding to the expressed demands. The device (11) implements one or more modules, representative of one or more Expert modules and / or of one or more parameter class generators, and is able to combine both the Expert modules and the parameter classes to prearrange the programming guide of the events. Thanks to the capability of using multiple Experts and / or multiple parameter classes, the device (11) allows to obtain, in flexible fashion, event programming results that are particularly close to the user's demands.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a device and system for programming events and a method therefor. [0002] In particular, the invention relates to an apparatus for generating an automatic guide for viewing television programs and an associated method of guiding the selection and viewing of these programs. Background technique [0003] As we all know, the wide application of communication technology makes it possible for different users to obtain a large number of events in different locations, such as TV, radio, and multimedia events that generally occur at the same time. The airtimes of , as well as their duration, allow automatic tools to select and personalize (program) those event lists that are more interesting to the user. [0004] The programming of television events is used here as an example, although the following considerations naturally apply to the programming or personalization of any type of event for which the broadcast or broadcast t...
