Abstract

Un método y disposición para generar una guía en pantalla para que un usuario seleccione canales para ver, fácil de usar para suministrar alusuario de una disposición de emisión de televisión multicanal un caudal de información de programación en un formato simple que es fácil de entender. Laguía permite al usuario seleccionar fácilmente un programa determinado para ver. Particularmente, cuando la guía se presenta al usuario, ésta cubresolamente una parte real de la pantalla de televisión o display. La parte restante de la pantalla de televisión continúa emitiendo el audio y video delprograma seleccionado actualmente. Cuando el usuario analiza la guía y mueve el indicador de una estación a otra, la disposición responde sintonizandoautomáticamente el canal indicado por el indicador y proporciona el audio y exhibe el video en la parte de la pantalla no cubierta por la guía. Asimismo,se ilustra una descripción del programa emitido actualmente en una estación que elcursor indica actualmente. Además, la disposición proporciona un mecanismoinnovador para permitir que el usuario analize la información de programa de canales que el usuario ha designado como sus canales favoritos. En otrarealización, la presenteinvención presenta una lista de programa que está orientada de acuerdo con el programa en vez del canal.
