Television channel supplement method and device

Abstract

The application discloses a television channel supplement method and device. The television channel supplement method comprises the steps of storing the channel packets corresponding to the supplemented channels in a channel server, wherein the channel packets comprise the channel attribute information and the plug-in instances, and the plug-in instances are used to call a playing function of a television terminal to play the content of the supplemented channels; using the television terminal to download the channel packets corresponding to the supplemented channels from the channel server, analyzing the channel attribute information and the plug-in instances of the channel packets, and storing the channel attribute information and the plug-in instances; using the television terminal to generate a supplemented channel list according to the channel attribute information of the channel packets; after the television terminal receives the switching instructions of switching to the supplemented channels, reading the plug-in instances corresponding to the supplemented channels to which the switching instructions point, calling a local plug-in instance engine to operate the read plug-in instances, wherein the plug-in instances call the playing function of the television terminal to play the content of the supplemented channels. According to the present invention, the access efficiency of a television channel supplement service can be improved.
