Embodiment Construction

[0026] EPG program information includes the standard name of the channel, the name of the TV program corresponding to the channel, the broadcast time period of the program, the brief introduction of the content of the program, the brief introduction of the actors of the program, and the classification of the program, such as entertainment, sports, finance, etc., terminal equipment Download and parse the EPG program information from the EPG server through the EPG program information plug-in downloaded by itself from the EPG server, and then extract the required information from it.

[0027] Here, the EPG program information plug-in is a logical functional entity with the functions of downloading and analyzing EPG program information, and the EPG program information plug-in interacts with the EPG server through HTTP. Each EPG server has its own EPG program information plug-in, which is placed in the EPG server. When any user terminal needs to download the corresponding EPG program ...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for achieving the channel automatic corresponding based on electronic program guide EPG in the server system which comprises user end and can provide EPG program information. The method comprises the following steps: a) user end separately captures the needed standard bench tag and the EPG program information; b) it matches the channel name abstracted from the bench tag picture data with the standard channel name abstracted from the EPG program information to obtain the corresponding relation; c) user end reads the bench tag image of the current playing channel and matches the bench tag image with the standard bench tag picture data to ascertain the current playing channel corresponding standard bench tag, and then it ascertains the corresponding relation between the current playing channel and the channel name of the EPG program information.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a TV channel matching technology, in particular to a method for realizing automatic correspondence of analog TV channels based on an electronic program guide. 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 ...
