Embodiment
For making the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention is described in further detail below in conjunction with accompanying drawing.
Core concept of the present invention is: because the general user's continuity and individual preference of watching program, the user watches the frequency of certain or certain several channels to tend to be higher than the frequency that it watches other channel far away in one period.Therefore, the present invention takes to write down and preserve the historical information of watching of all channels; And in the setting-up time section, watch time quantum according to each channel of preserving of historical information accumulative total of watching, then all channels are sorted according to accumulated result, and generate the channel selection control information according to ranking results; At last, select channel, thereby realize the purpose that channel is viewed and admired in the assisting users selection according to the channel selection control information that obtains.
Describe the inventive method below in detail, this method flow specifically comprises the steps: as shown in Figure 1
Step 101: the historical information of watching of preserving all channels.
In this step, the historical information cumulative time amount that can be the user watch channel on the nature date of watching of channel also can be the concrete out of Memory such as time point of watching.In the present embodiment, watching the cumulative time amount of channel with the user on the nature date is that example describes.
In order to write down the time quantum of viewing channel, need in system, be provided in advance writing down the timer that channel is watched time quantum, record is also preserved detailed process that channel watches time quantum on the nature date as shown in Figure 2, specifically sees also subsequent step 201 to 204.
Channel watches that the concrete preservation form of historical information can be as shown in table 1, takes to create the data list that comprises channel, channel designation and history record watching data item, i.e. the form of channel list; Wherein, the history record watching data item can be set to the concrete natural date, as certain year in such a month, and on such a day or the date sequence number, as which day etc.; So just can add up the cumulative time amount that the user watches all channels at exact date, in this channel list, preserve the time quantum that accumulative total obtains then in the row of corresponding date correspondence, and make this time quantum and channel accordingly, channel designation corresponding.
Channel Channel designation 1 day 2 days 3 days 4 days 5 days 6 days 7 days

Table 1
And the foundation of above-mentioned channel list or refresh and can when each system's automatic channel search or user manually search platform, carry out, be system according to set in advance or receive from the outside search the platform instruction after, with the channel information items of preserving in the channel list with watch that historical information item all empties, begin to search platform then.In searching the platform process, whenever search a channel, just insert channel and the channel designation that searches in the channel of this channel list and the row at channel designation place, so just set up the channel information items of channel list.
And when relating to the system time change or being provided with, then only need refresh the historical information item of watching of channel list, and need not to upgrade channel information items, at this moment, can be after carrying out the system time change or being provided with, call corresponding program and watch the historical information entry deletion, and after treating that new channel watches that historical information produces, this information is deposited in the channel list what preserve in the channel list.
And all row of watching the historical information item place can be according to setting in advance the renewal of rolling of the mode of taking first-in first-out in this channel list.For example, size according to system memory space, set the channel only preserved before the current date 7 days and watch historical information, in each row, preserve the historical information of watching on a date, and all watch historical information according to watching that the date sorts, and like this at the 8th day, the historical information deletion will be automatically be watched with all of first row in the channel list by system, and remaining other column information is moved forward, and preserve the 8th day the historical information of watching at last row of channel list.Like this, just avoided preserve current date watch historical information the time need judge the step of information holding time length.Can certainly take preserving the same day during information, the time that judgement information is preserved, then according to judged result deletion holding time information row at most, the historical information of watching with current date is kept in the row of vacating after the deletion corresponding information row then.
The method to set up of above-mentioned channel list just the supposition user only to current date before recently a period of time watch that historical information is interested, therefore the system that is only applicable to shows before the current date situation of watching historical information of a period of time recently automatically.When the channel that wants to understand any a period of time as the user is watched historical information, then need in system, preserve the channel on all dates and watch information, at this moment just do not have the problem of above-mentioned information updating, and this mode require than higher to system memory space.
This channel list can be stored in central processing unit (CPU) read-only memory (ROM) of system, in flash memory (FLASH), hard disk (HARD DISC) or the electricallyerasable ROM (EEROM) (EEPROM), and modifications such as the channel list of preserving can increase by operation television channel lists menu, change, deletion.
Step 102: according to the channel selection control information call instruction that receives, be accumulated at the time of the watching total amount of each channel of preserving in the setting-up time section, then all channels are sorted according to the accumulated result that obtains, and according to ranking results generation channel selection control information, the channel selection control information that last basis obtains selects channel to show.
The concrete executive mode of this step has two kinds:
First kind of mode: select the control information call instruction by external user by the corresponding function key input on operation television set guidance panel or the remote controller, system exports and shows corresponding channel selection control information after receiving this instruction; The user selects control information directly to select channel to watch according to channel displayed.Channel displayed selects control information to be: tabulate according to the channel selection control that channel of watching the descending ordering of time quantum and channel designation are formed.And in this step, system both can take after receiving channel selection control information call instruction, watched the time quantum of each channel in this time period of accumulative total according to the time period information of carrying in the instruction; Also can work as system receive select the control information call instruction after, time period each channel of information accumulative total that sets in advance according to system is watched time quantum at this section in the period.
When this mode of employing, the concrete implementation of above-mentioned steps 102 specifically sees also subsequent step 301 to 303 as shown in Figure 3.
The second way: the channel selection control information that obtains is called automatically according to setting in advance by system, therefrom selects channel then and shows the programme content of corresponding channel.
Directly in certain time period, watch historical information when this mode usually occurs in system boot, count then in this time period and watch the channel that time quantum is the longest, show the programme content of this channel at last by the routine call user that is provided with.
Describe the process that above-mentioned record channel is watched time quantum at exact date below in detail, this process specifically comprises the steps: as shown in Figure 2
Step 201: system is reset to 0 with timer, and begins to be current selected channel timing after receiving the channel selection instruction.Wherein, the channel selection instruction is sent automatically after start or is imported by external user by system.
Step 202: after system receives next channel selection instruction or shutdown command, judge that whether timing result is greater than the time quantum lock value of setting, if then execution in step 203; Otherwise, execution in step 204.
Wherein, in above-mentioned steps, setting-up time amount lock value is also to be recorded in the system for fear of the data that the improper viewing time that channel causes is changed in not stall of user, reduces the modification renewal frequency of system data, improves the stability of data field.This time quantum lock value specifically can be set to 10 seconds, and like this, when the viewing time of a fixed channel is lower than 10 seconds, system will not remember this class time.
Step 203: judge whether current date is identical with the date of last renewal cumulative time amount, if then execution in step 205; Otherwise, execution in step 206.
In this step, be how the current timing result that obtains to be accumulated on the original cumulative time amount of preservation in order to determine the update time of judging the cumulative time amount, this just needs each date of upgrading the cumulative time amount of record, and has nothing to do with concrete channel when judging the update date of cumulative time amount.
Step 204: process ends.
Step 205: the accumulative total of this channel of preserving in the corresponding date column with data list of timing result is watched that time quantum carries out addition, and the result who obtains with addition upgrades the initial data of preservation then, simultaneously minute book secondary data date of upgrading;
Step 206: directly this timing result is preserved process ends as this channel in the cumulative time of current date amount.
When not having the row at current date place in the data list, then at first generate corresponding row, then timing result is saved in position corresponding in these row, process ends with corresponding channel.The accumulative total of any channel watches that the initial value of time quantum is 0 in the data list.
Describe above-mentioned steps 103 below in detail, the concrete implementation of this step specifically comprises the steps: as shown in Figure 3
Step 301: external user uses television set guidance panel or remote controller input to select the control information call instruction.
Step 302: after system receives this call instruction, according to the time period information of carrying in the instruction or call the time period information that self is provided with each channel of preserving in the data field is sued for peace at the time quantum of watching of this time period, and each channel is sorted according to the result that summation obtains.
Step 303: according to setting in advance the forward some channel informations of ordering are shown to the user, thereby make the user to select the channel that to view and admire fast according to the channel displayed list information.
In a word, the above is preferred embodiment of the present invention only, is not to be used to limit protection scope of the present invention.
