[0002] At present, in broadcasting program broadcasting systems such as cable TV broadcasting system, household digital audio-visual broadcasting system and Internet multimedia video-on-demand system, users usually encounter the following problems when enjoying broadcasting programs or video programs, that is: users watch a During the process of program content, there are often some reasons (such as the user leaves for something or the program channel is interrupted due to some faults, etc.), so that the user cannot continue to watch the subsequent broadcast after watching a part of the program content.
