System and method for realizing electronic program guide information download and analysis

Abstract

The invention discloses a system for achieving the electronic program guide (EPG) information loading and analyzing, which comprises: one or above EPG information card used to update EPG information card, load and analyze the EPG information from the EPG server and transmit the EPG information to the end applied unit, an end applied unit used to control the EPG information card loading, receive and store the loaded EPG information and control the EPG information using; and a user interface used to provide the user interface to the user and transmit the user inputted control order to the end applied unit. The invention discloses a method for achieving the electronic program guide (EPG) information loading and analyzing.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to data download technology, especially a system and method for realizing download and analysis of electronic program guide information. Background technique [0002] In the field of broadcasting and TV, with the rapid development of digital TV and the continuous improvement of user requirements, the electronic program guide (EPG) service has gradually become an important part of the current analog TV and future digital TV (DVB). In the age of analog TV, due to the limited number of channels, people can search for their favorite TV programs through a simple traversal method of the remote control. However, with the advent of the digital age, the number of channels has increased dramatically, from dozens to hundreds, so that simple traversal becomes a burden, and it is easy to miss programs that users want to watch. Based on the business interaction similar to the Internet, the EPG service can provide rich and up-to-date program pr...

Problems solved by technology

In this way, the EPG server will be constantly updated, and once the system at the EPG server side is upgraded, it will inevitably cause all user terminal equipment to upgrade the application software of the corresponding EPG analysis part, which will bring great inconvenience to the user, and cause large business losses

In addition, different EPG providers generally adopt their own EPG standard format and provide corresponding EPG information through their own EPG server. Then, the EPG analysis part corresponding to the EPG standard format needs to be installed on the user terminal side to receive and analyze EPG information, there is a problem that the EPG parsing part is too tightly bound to the EPG server, and the compatibility is poor

[0016] 2) Since the current EPG standard providers all have the problem of protection and confidentiality of their own technical solutions, if the data in the EPG standard format such as XML format is backed up on the client device, the EPG standard format may be cracked, resulting in standard leakage However, in order to realize the analysis of EPG information, the EPG standard provider must disclose its EPG-specific analysis algorithm to the third party. In this way, each EPG standard and service provider is faced with such a dilemma
