Program recording method and device

Abstract

The invention discloses a program recording method. The method comprises following steps of obtaining an ordering program instruction; obtaining EPG (electronic program guide) information matching with program information from an EPG database according to the ordering program instruction; obtaining a program identification character string of an ordering program from the matching EPG information; obtaining the program information matching with the program identification character string of the ordering program from the electronic program guide EPG database according to the program identification character string of the ordering program; screening the obtained program information matching with the program identification character string of the ordering program according to a preset screening rule; adding the screened program information in an ordering recording list; carrying out program recording to the program information in the ordering recording list; and updating the program information in the ordering recording list. The invention also discloses a program recording device. According to the method and the device, through matching, screening and adding the program information with the same program character string, the same series of programs can be recorded automatically, and the user satisfaction degree is improved.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of digital television, in particular to a program recording method and device. Background technique

[0002] In recent years, with the popularization of digital TV, PVR (Personal video recorder, personal video recorder) technology is also more and more widely used in various digital TV devices, and its functions are increasingly powerful, and user experience is also more intelligent. For example, if the user needs to go on a business trip, but does not want to miss some TV programs in the next few days, he can make an appointment to record any interesting programs in the next few days in the EPG (Electronic Program Guide, electronic program menu) list by operating the remote control, and then Let the TV stand by, turn on the TV after returning, and you can find the recorded programs in the PVR playlist to watch, which is very convenient. The existing program recording method requires the user to operate one by one to...

[0097] Further, refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 It is a schematic flowchart of the second embodiment of the program recording method of the present invention. Based on the first embodiment of the program recording method of the present invention, the above step S40 in this embodiment includes:

[0098] Step S401, when there is program information in the scheduled recording list, determine whether there is a recording conflict between the acquired program information that matches the program identification string of the scheduled program and the program information in the scheduled recording list, wherein, The recording conflicts include recording time conflicts and recording content conflicts;

[0099] Since the program information of different channels is not uniform, the same program may be played on different channels, or the same series of programs may be played at the same time. Therefore, it is necessary to filter the acquired program information of the same series of p...

[0138] Further, refer to Figure 10 , Figure 10 It is a schematic diagram of the functional modules of the third embodiment of the program recording device of the present invention. Based on the second embodiment of the program recording device of the present invention, the program update module in this embodiment also includes:

[0139] A preset time judging unit 604, configured to judge whether the program identifier string of the currently reserved program continuously exceeds the preset time when there is no program information matching the program identifier string of the currently reserved program in the EPG information. Assume that no program matching the program identification string of the currently reserved program is found by time;

[0140] If the scheduled series has ended and is no longer airing, you will need to exit the entire scheduled recording process. In this embodiment, when there is no program information matching the program identification string of t...

[0160] Further, refer to Figure 13 , Figure 13 It is a schematic diagram of the functional modules of the sixth embodiment of the program recording device of the present invention. Based on the fifth embodiment of the program recording device of the present invention, the program recording module 50 in this embodiment also includes:

[0161] The stop recording unit 504 is configured to stop program recording when it is detected that the program identification string information of the currently playing program does not match the program identification string information of the program being recorded.

[0162] In order to realize accurate recording of reserved programs, in this embodiment, during the program recording process, it is also dynamically monitored whether the program identification string information of the currently playing program matches the program identification string information of the program being recorded, and if it matches, Then continue to record the...
