The ESG data that received can be used for the opening and closing terminal, thereby save battery.The user can select when to open terminal to receive the ESG data.ESG can often not change, and therefore, needn't receive all ESG transmission.Can be by using of the change of second network to terminal notice ESG data, these notices can be used to this terminal of ESG Data Control.According to the time slicing data playback transmission (burst) that is received, receiver can also extract the information relevant with the business that is sent with storage in memory location 83, can comprise the data item relevant with ESG.Terminal can also be in the memory location 84 stored information relevant with reservation business, comprises duration of reservation and scope etc.Can receive this information by second network, perhaps can import by the user.
Make up all reception business datums, and the mode of selecting with the user shows to the user in display 20.Can to user's display business set or professional title, comprise described collection of services or professional burst transmitting time, subscribe described collection of services or professional existence, described collection of services or professional type or other classification, or the like.The user can be by carrying out service selection such as keypad 21 user interfaces such as grade.The user can only select the collection of services of subscribing or business, free collection of services or collection of services or business that all are available.
Can scrambler or encrypt and need collection of services or its part or the separate operation subscribed.Store the business that receives by terminal therein with scrambler or encrypted form.When such professional of customization, except receiving the schedule information and time slicing parameter that needs,, descrambling or the essential data of decruption key are sent to the user as the customization or the response of paying.The user can customize not the collection of services or the business of subscribing, and perhaps upgrading is not as yet or the collection of services of having subscribed.Can be used as a part or the service announcements of data burst or pass through second network, send the data relevant customizable or that subscribe with collection of services or availability of traffics.
Fig. 9 is the schematic diagram of diagram according to the example of the different business that is provided by content provider of a kind of embodiment.In Fig. 9, service provider 90 comprises combinations of services or collection of services (the professional N of professional 1-).If certain collection of services is the combination of a plurality of business, this business can be represented with different titles.For example, a kind of collection of services can be expressed as " RTL is basic ", 91, wherein another collection of services can be expressed as " RTL+ " 93.For instance, " substantially " business can only comprise a business, and "+" business can comprise a plurality of business.In addition, collection of services "+" and collection of services " substantially " can comprise one or more business jointly.The user can use diagrams such as different icons, colour, text type not subscribe as yet or expired or unpaid collection of services or business, so that can be distinguished.
Figure 10 and Figure 11 illustrate the form that can be used for user's professional example according to a kind of embodiment by radio network in more detail.As shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11, preferably preserve the ESG data with the form of form.Can use other data format although wish.Use these forms, by following: kind, reservation/do not subscribe, pay/not paying, position, freedom, or the like, the business that can sorted users can use.The option of classify traffic and set is provided to the user.For example, it is as follows to be used to the option of classifying: diagram is subscribed, diagram all or illustrated components/set.Wish to select the most continually " diagram is subscribed " option, because it will represent professional individual's set usually.When selecting " diagram all " options, the business of being subscribed visually is different from other business.
In the form of Figure 11 and Figure 12, suppose that the user selects " reservation " business.In case select, carry out inquiry.All the architecture grades in the ESG data are checked in this inquiry.This architecture comprises following: ESG, kind, channel, business and program.Check that the architecture grade is to determine their state.State is determined in existence by reservation/proof of purchase.Effectively proof expression user has subscribed or payment transaction.Subsequently, reservation business can be shown to this user.
Figure 12 illustrates the schematic diagram that is used for the example networks of receiving broadcast service according to a kind of embodiment in more detail.In Figure 12, data playback operator 70 sets up the combination that comprises one or more business.By data playback burst 71 combination is sent to the user.But data splitting 120 and one or more preferably whole or most of following data item: the identifier (Bundle_ID) that this combination is unique, the title (Bundle_name) of this combination is described, the pricing information (Price information) that is used for this combination, the price in for example whole reservation cycle, the price of remaining time in reservation cycle, the information relevant (Subscriptiontime) with the ticket reserving time, for example subscribe the time started in cycle, subscribe the end cycle time, currency (Currency), buy coding (Purch_Code), care label (Label) and be used for the identifier (Purch_Ch_1_ID that each buys channel, Purch_Ch_2_ID), can buy this combination by it.Combination can be bought channel by one and buy, and perhaps it can be by two or many different purchase channels acquisitions.
Buy the channel description and can buy the channel of business or combination by it.Attribute 123 that describe to buy channel comprises: be used for channel unique identifier (Purch_Ch_1_ID, Purch_Ch_2_ID); Signal of carrier, for example Waduven, Sonera, send the request bought (Purch_Ch_1Bearer_ID) by it; Buy address (Purch_Addr), buy the description (Req_Descr) of request; Can send the signal of carrier (Resp_Bearer_ID) of buying response by it; The description of response format (Resp_descr), for example device capability information (indicating characteristic); The identifier unique (Ecomm_ID) with ecommerce operator.
In one embodiment, data playback operator 70 sends combination and buys channel information in one or more architecture files.Also identical information 120 is sent to e-commerce system (E-Commerce System 1,2) 127.Can be by the one or more second access to netwoks e-commerce systems 127 except radio network.In one embodiment, second network is a mobile telephone network.The user can be by using selected terminal (UE1, UE2) the transmission combination request of buying channel.This request is sent to the address of appointment in the attribute 123 of selected purchase channel, and use the carrier of appointment therein.Carrier by appointment in buying the attribute of channel receives the response from e-commerce system.Buy the transmissions such as combination in any that response can be used as SMS, MMS, Email or do not confirm WAP Push message, these message.WAP Push for example will provide the information (may be that the user can't see) that needs to terminal, and SMS is shown to the user.For example when receiving the power target, can carry out visit by the selection in the terminal, or/and receive executable content by terminal by terminal.
Figure 13 illustrates in more detail how service time, burst sent the schematic diagram of the illustrative methods of Service Component on channel according to a kind of embodiment.In Figure 13, and the Service Component relevant with specific transactions (S11 ..., S1m; S21 ..., S2n) can in burst, send on the DVB-T network.First and second bursts 130,131 have the duration (" duration 1 ", " duration 2 ") with start and end time (" time started 1 ", " time started 2 ", " concluding time 1 " and " concluding time 2 ") definition.Transmission burst 130,131 under the situation that has at interval (" interval 1 ") between the beginning of first end that happens suddenly and second burst.In this example, each burst start from the ESG data (ESG1, ESG2).
The content of burst 130,131 can be identical continuously, and perhaps they can be different to small part.Be not all Service Component and the burst that comprises only relevant with this set Service Component that comprise set, a burst can comprise the Service Component of any amount business, and perhaps it can comprise the Service Component of one or more business or collection of services.Determine the order of Service Component in burst by multicast service system or by multicast operator.
Can also send ESG data or its part by the second discrete network, described second network can be unidirectional or two-way, and can be wired or wireless.Second network will be mobile telephone network usually, and for example GSM, GPRS, 3G or UMTS also can be WLAN or any other communication network still.Can use by the terminal that receives this ESG through the ESG data that second network sends.
If send on DVB-T, the ESG data can go up at IP Control Channel (IP-CC) and send.The ESG data comprise professional relevant metadata, for example the type of available service, how can receive business tine and how can consume this business.Use IP-based agreement to send this metadata as one group of circular document.Can repeatedly send the ESG data, for example the conveyer form.
In one embodiment, shown in Figure 14 a and Figure 14 B, architecture ground configuration available service.Example of Figure 14 A diagram service architecture structure and Figure 14 B illustrate a kind of example of partial content of business.
In one embodiment, on top, the architecture structure comprises kind.Use the kind classify traffic.The kind that can have many layers.These kind classify traffic set.Kind can comprise channel, and is for example relevant with definite theme or content type.Channel can be the collection of services that the user can use a title or brand recognition, for example CNN (RTM) or BBC (RTM).Under the kind in architecture, can there be subcategory or collection of services.Collection of services with the combinations of services of identical category together, although they may be relevant with discernible entity, for example CNN (RTM) or BBC (RTM).Collection of services is that service provider (SP) or content provider (CP) own.CP or SP can have many collection of services.Collection of services with the combinations of services of the same classification of a CP or SP together.A business can belong to many different collection of services, but all business of a collection of services are preferably same SP or CP owns.Combination is vendible entity, i.e. one group of business of together being sold by SP.
In Figure 14 A, diagram class of business " news ", have collection of services " CNN Newsview " and under business " live upgrade ".Professional " News.CNNNewsWatch.LiveUpdate " can comprise one or more service conversations, the related-program of up-to-date commercial news for example, as shown in Figure 14B.Service conversation comprises it for example can being the project of the information relevant with different regions, the world, if also identify project time and timetable is shown to the user, then the user can be only watches news when sending interested one or more part.
The architecture of available service is very static.Professional and collection of services can change, but changes not frequently, concluding time of business is not notified to the user usually.The ESG data comprise the metadata (being whether it is kind, collection of services or business) of describing the level of paying close attention to, and are linked to more detailed information.Collection of services can have default service, the business that promptly ought enter the collection of services unlatching and identify with metadata.Collection of services can also be relevant with button or menu in user interface, and existence after button or menu comprises professional tabulation.
Each entity has identifier.In the range of identifiers of (these entities) of multicast operator, this identifier is unique all the time.For example, in the scope of the task identifier of multicast operator, task identifier is unique, and planting class identifier is unique among the kind class identifier of multicast operator etc.In one embodiment, all identifiers are digital.The more dynamic part of ESG information is the program part.Program partly comprises service conversation, and it is that srvice instance has time started and concluding time with it.Service conversation comprises business item or Service Component.Business item is the content " fragment " that can consume respectively.Use all business items of the transmission parameter transmission service conversation of identical category.As service conversation, business item can have their time started and dwell time in service conversation inside.
This architecture structure makes it possible to prove with relevant form display business with logic, and allows ESG demonstration easily and extraction.This makes their interested business of the easier discovery of user, also makes the easier arrangement Session Time of operator, may be overlapping as few as possible to the interested service conversation of same crowd so that think.The information that comprises in the architecture file comprises and buys channel, combination, kind, collection of services, professional relevant information and other similar information.Except the architecture kind, business can with other classification and/or relevant such as identification datas such as types of service.
Buying channel describes and can buy channel professional or combination by it.Attribute that describe to buy channel comprise the unique identifier that is used for this channel, by its send the request of purchase signal of carrier, buy the address, the request of purchase is described, is sent signal of carrier of buying response, the unique identifier of description and ecommerce operator of response format by it.
Can become the business of buying in combination.Thereby combination is vendible project.But these combinations and following data items one or more preferably all or major part relevant: the unique identifier of this combination, describe this combination title, be used for the pricing information of this combination, the price in for example whole reservation cycle, the price, reservation time started in cycle, reservation end cycle time, currency, the purchase that are used to subscribe remaining time in cycle are encoded, are described label and can buy the identifier of each purchase channel of combination by it.Illustrate the use with the explanation bought item with describing label, and can adopt following form to the user: " buying in 3 months ", " buying current month end ", or the like, in e-commerce system, use and buy the combination of encoding and being bought with sign.In one embodiment, for each combination that can buy and cycle combination, exist and buy coding.In another embodiment, there is the coding in each assembly coding and each cycle, each combination/cycle combination of the purchase code identification that permission will be by comprising two coded combinations.Combination can be passed through one and buy the channel purchase, and perhaps it can buy the channels acquisition by two or more.In yet another embodiment, except combination, can buy program, channel and session respectively.In this case, need provide coding for each project that can sell respectively.Yet, must there be concluding time or duration, because this project will have the nature concluding time, can be simpler so buy coding.
In order to form kind of information, provide one or more (preferably whole or most of) of following data items: the unique identifier of kind title, kind, (being digital), the Short Description of kind, Virtual network operator need DISPLAY ORDER, father and mother's audience ratings of display category layer replacement object to represent in one embodiment and father and mother plant class identifier.Above-mentioned data items tabulation is exemplary.Also wish to use other data items or as an alternative.
Collection of services for information, provide one or more (preferably all or part of) of following data: the collection of services title, the unique identifier of collection of services (being digital in one embodiment), the short of collection of services described, operator needs the DISPLAY ORDER of collection of services that will display category, the expression of father and mother's audience ratings, quoting of the homepage of collection of services, the relevant information of the business of collection of services, the identification data that belongs to the business of this collection of services, the DISPLAY ORDER (in this order, business being shown to the user) of business in collection of services, default service sign and other operator's particular community, for example author, date created.The numerical value of attribute can be the combination in any of character string, integer, date, URL or all or these numerical value of a part, for example combination of integer and character string numerical value.Attribute can comprise the description and the unique identifier of one or more titles, attribute.Collection of services information can also comprise the identifier of affiliated each combination of this business.Once more, above-mentioned tabulation is exemplary, can also use other data items, perhaps as an alternative.
For every kind of business, one or more (preferably all or part of) in the following data are provided: Business Name, professional unique identifier, type of service represent, professional simple description, the URL that can find to describe in detail, professional under combination identifier list, this professional father and mother's audience ratings expression, the URL of professional audience ratings, type of service is represented and other operator's special attribute, for example author and/or date created.The numerical value of attribute can be the combination in any of character string, integer, date, URL or some or all these numerical value.Attribute can comprise one or more in following: the title of this attribute, description and unique identifier.As in the standard v1.4.1 of ' 468, can represent type of service by using identical or similarly substituting object.The expression of type of service allows terminal to distinguish different business, for example the DVB multicast service, at line service and 3G multicast service.
The data relevant with the session project comprise session time started, concluding time or selectable session persistence.The ESG data can also comprise conveyer information, for example the expired time of the IP address of type of conveyor, other conveyer and port, conveyer information and renewal interval, the modification time of architectural data and quoting operator's homepage.Modification time is the time of Last modification architecture.Operator's homepage is the page that the user can at first see when opening ESG.Operator's homepage can comprise ten IPDC business the most universal, up-to-date service lists, recommendation list, or the like.Show to the user very apace after mainly being used in unlatching ESG.In the homepage conveyer, send homepage.The ESG data can also comprise the relevant information of unique identifier and the ESG language of ESG.Each supporting language can have independently ESG data file.Also statement is expired time information, and the information that its expression is stated before this is usually with the immovable time.Can notification architecture, the expired time of session and main conveyer.For session and main conveyer, can provide and upgrade (is unit with the second) at interval, allow under the situation of not checking the architecture file, will calculate the time of next time upgrading.
Figure 15 is that diagram is according to the example hardware of the portable terminal of a kind of embodiment and the schematic diagram of component software.In Figure 15, the portable terminal 100 that only partly illustrates is embodied as the DVB-T client computer with DVB-T or DVB-H receiver (not shown).Portable terminal 100 generally includes the memory 101 that is connected to service data handler 102 and user interface 103.User interface 103 comprises display 104 and browses selector 105, for example keypad or touch-screen input device and display controller 118.Data processor 102 is handled application program 107 by collection of services combiner application program 106 and ESG and is constituted.Memory 101 is configured to store N Service Component, and three in them illustrate on 108-110, and service identification data 111-113 is corresponding with it respectively.Memory 101 is also in ESG data memory region 114 stored ESG data.Memory 101 also comprises the payment data zone 117 that is used to store the subscription data base area 116 of subscription data and stores payment data.For convenience, incomplete graphic terminal 100.The actual enforcement of said modules provides use ROM memory, RAM memory, the single microprocessor of suitable software usually and has the display of display driver.Receiver (not shown) has the air interface with the DVB-T network.As the IP data playback burst by receiver, terminal 100 is obtained information R from the DVB-T network.
Do not have outdated information, lastest imformation termly in order to ensure the user.Each notice comprises expired time, and it is a when overdue absolute time of the next version of expression.Redaction is uninevitable different with legacy version, but guarantees will not have any change in the effective procedure of a version.Renewal is different for the other parts of ESG at interval, because the probability difference that changes.Terminal 100 only need be when the notice of current storage be about to or be just expired reception notification.
More under the news, for example, terminal 100 receives the architecture files, determines subsequently whether the modification time of this architecture is later than the modification time of architecture in its ESG database 114 at the architecture file.If the architecture that is received is newer, then it is updated to ESG database 114.Otherwise terminal 100 is only noted expired time next time.By upgrading the alarm business of ESG information, can notify unexpected renewal to terminal 100.This can occur in any suitable mode, for example uses the notice conveyer.Terminal 100 can be by user interface 103 control to safeguard up-to-date ESG data, perhaps selectively do not receive or upgrade the ESG data, thereby if the DVB-T business is enough unimportant for the user on preset time, save battery charge.
Service Component that terminal 100 operation is received with the suitable partial memory storage at memory 101 and corresponding business identification data and the ESG data that received.The ESG data can receive on the DVB-T network or by mobile telephone network, as illustrated on 115.Terminal can only receive the part of ESG or the timetable of ESG, and perhaps it can receive whole ESG, and described whole ESG describes all available business and their timetable.
When terminal 100 was opened first, this terminal did not have any ESG information.In order to show ESG information to the user, the terminal 100 essential ESG of execution find to receive the ESG data.Message pick-up can be divided into five stages, generally speaking they are: obtain the IP address of architecture file, receive the architecture file, receive homepage, receive service conversation and describe and extract at last details.This illustrates in the flow chart of Figure 16.
Figure 16 is how diagram carries out the example of ESG discovery according to the terminal in a kind of embodiment Figure 15 a flow chart.At step S1, terminal 100 must at first be found out the IP address of architecture information.Exist for a plurality of addresses that ESG information is preserved, what a address is used for each network area.Can obtain to be used for the sign of IP address of the architecture message file of current area from network.The mechanism that is used for this depends on network.
In the DVB-T network, in one embodiment, receive the correct IP address that is used for the architecture message file by following information flow.At first, the receiver scanning that comprises in terminal 100 is by the DVB-T network of usable frequency up to the discovery expectation.The network of expectation can be first network of finding, user-defined network, configuration network of giving this terminal, or the like.Then, receiver receives network information form (NIT).In this case, receiver is also located IP/MAC notice form (INT).This is by explaining the all-links descriptor of the type 0x0B in the NIT form.A DVB-T link can be carried some IP platforms, it can be considered as channel.Which IP platform is terminal 100 inquire about to receiver and can use, and receiver will send to terminal from the information that the NIT tabular analysis obtains.Then, terminal 100 is selected IP platform and the selected IP platform to receiver of identification.Subsequently, receiver receives the INT form and is analyzed.In order to obtain the IP address that is used for the architecture file, whether it has had the mapping of the address that is used to belong to the ESG IP address range to terminal 100 to the receiver inquiry.Subsequently, receiver returns the IP address.It should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the IP address that how can obtain to be used for other network type.When terminal 100 was determined correct IP address, it was opened this address and begins and monitors.
At step S2, terminal receives the file of occlusion body architecture information, and it is stored in the database.The architecture file for example can be write with XML.Terminal 100 can obtain to be used for the IP address of other conveyer from the architecture file.This allows terminal to move IP address or the homepage address of monitoring conversation informing, and this carries out at step S3.Store homepage into terminal 100, they can be shown to the user when needing with box lunch.For example use the SDP (Session Description Protocol) and the XML file description service conversation information of a constitution system structural information part.SDP file comprises terminal need be can receive and consume the information of this session, and this occurs on step S4.The XML file is used to describe user's session content.When terminal 100 reception session SDP file and XML files, its is analyzed them and information stores is arrived database.
If after receiving architecture and conversation informing, need the more information of business, service conversation or project, for example can pass through the access of web door.The URL of these web doors of sign is provided in notice.Payment data storage area 117 comprises the user's reservation business or the combination that can allow terminal 100, and does not need the user by user interface 103 any information to be inputed to the data of terminal when requiring to subscribe.Paying information can be the user credit card sequence number and expiration date information.Selectively, payment data can be proof, token or key, when being sent out, authorizes the record keeping pre-paid account or license to the account to increase expense, the user account of for example mobile session Virtual network operator.Payment data can be complete law name and station address, allows to be drawn a bill to the user by service provider.Payment data can comprise user's telephone number or e-mail address, is used to send proof or receipt or other affirmation of subscribing purchase.Unique requirement of payment data is that it allows user's payment or imports agreement clearly with payment transaction or combination.The better preserved payment data, so as terminal 100 lose or stolen situation under, can not under the situation of not using password or password numeral, pass through user interface 103 access pay data.
Subscription data storage area 116 comprises the relevant data of all reservations of preserving or having preserved (promptly comprising expired reservation) with the user.These data also do not need the business of subscribing and make up relevant with visit.This business can be considered as having and not have the reservation of paying.In this case, the subscription data sign has and does not have the combination of paying and subscribing.For being not the reservation of do not have paying, subscription data comprises the identifier of subscribing supplier, is identified at any restriction in the reservation, comprises the expired time of reservation, and comprise need be with any descrambling or the decruption key or the coding of access service.May need independently key or coding for each business or service groups in the combination, perhaps can be applied to each business in this combination, subscription data comprises the information that identifies particular case.Certainly, which professional part that constitutes this combination the also identifying user combination of subscribing or having subscribed of subscription data for each combination, can identify.Constitute the combination in any of the part of basic module, for example, be included in this kind according to user's mobile session or the free combination that obtains of TV contract.In this case, can on the basis of circulation, revise the expired time of subscribing, for example when user's payment in every month cost of contract.
In due course, subscription data also comprises the time slicing parameter.The time slicing parameter comprises the professional transmission time started at least, can also comprise the duration (or selectively concluding time) and/or the recurrence interval of this professional IP burst of carrying.Can be with respect to the beginning of IP burst or concluding time with respect to the beginning of continuous IP burst or concluding time definition recurrence interval.The time slicing parameter can be added to temporal information, and it describes for example plan will broadcast this professional time and date.Temporal information only is applied in fact discontinuous business.24 hours news channel can be regarded as continuous basically business, but the business relevant with the open championship of tennis will have transmission more especially.
By user interface 103, can provide subscription data by the user.
Receive subscription data after being preferably in the purchase reservation, for example on mobile telephone network 115.When subscription data comprises details, for example time slicing parameter, key or coding and timetable, this is very easily.Thereby subscription data can constitute the part of proof or receipt, perhaps therewith is received, and described proof or receipt can have this reservation and buy specific sequence number.Now, will the operation of user interface 103 be described in more detail.Before business is provided, use the different content type of architectural data classification.Then, this data of classifying by rights.Collection of services combiner application program 106 uses these data to constitute collection of services, and described collection of services only comprises and will constitute the business of a corresponding service set part.Collection of services combiner 106 and ESG application program 107 are used for jointly according to ESG data construct ESG.Display controller 118 extracts the data of representing ESG from ESG application program 107, is used for providing by rights on display 104 ESG.Because the data owner of expression ESG will with the structurally associated of ESG assembly, thereby the direct connection that display controller 118 passes through to ESG data area 114 can be visited additional ESG data.Display controller 118 also extracts data from the subscription data zone 116 of memory 101, and uses this subscription data when providing available service and combinations of services on display 104.
Preferably configurating terminal 100 is provided with to allow the user to select professional accessibility to show.If the user selects professional accessibility setting " to show all ", when then on display 104, showing ESG, show the business that all are available at every turn.Yet, to have the business (can be called reservation business) of effective reservation with the different mode explicit user of business (being called not reservation business) that the user does not subscribe.Can use different colored prospects or different color backgrounds to show different business.Can use different fonts to be shown.Can show reservation business with bold text, show not reservation business with received text.Alternately, conventional text display reservation business be can use, empty body text or the non-reservation business of ashing text display used.In addition, can distinguish the business of different accessibilities by using different buttons or selectively different icons.For example, reservation business can show with " selection " button, but not reservation business can have " reservation " button.The another kind of selection is whether have this business of statement be the row (for example being listed as the side at " title " and " description ") of the text of reservation business.
If the user selects professional accessibility setting " diagram is subscribed ", when then on display 104, showing ESG, only on display, show reservation business at every turn.By the non-reservation business of deletion the service lists of display controller 118 in ESG.Like this, the user of terminal 100 is known can visit all shown business, and buys without any need for subscribing.If select " diagram payment " professional accessibility setting, then only show business addressable and a formation pay subscription part.Not showing on display 104 does not need pay subscription or needs not to buy as yet or the business of expired reservation.
Show substituting of being provided with as professional accessibility, may require the user showing that ESG is to select one of them before browsing from " diagram all ", " diagram is subscribed " and " diagram payment " option.Yet after selecting one of option, the ESG that is obtained is identical with above-mentioned ESG.When need on the grade different, showing the ESG data with the grade of service, when for example on channel or collection of services grade, showing the ESG data, by the project in the terminal 100 processing ESG, as it is reservation business, if at least one business in this architecture under it is a reservation business, perhaps as non-reservation business.
Through professional accessibility setting or input, use at the beginning the ESG data that provide by ESG application program 107 with the different collection of services of demonstration display 104 in by display controller 118.Alternately, according to being provided with or user's input, initial ESG shows can list all available combination, allows by the navigation of combination services assembly.Another alternative can be demonstration timetable (by transmission time configuration), perhaps ESG Search Results, and perhaps channel instructs or program guide, or the like.Can use and browse selector 105 navigation ESG.Use stylus, when highlighted demonstrations " OK " button or use voice command, for example pass through user interface 103, can option or entity.
If selected project can not be consumed, and for example will be the situation of channel and collection of services, mean that then needs show Next ESG data relevant with this project and its next-door neighbour in this architecture.User interface 103 also comprises " returning " option (being similar to the option that returns in Internet-browser), so that if necessary, and user's navigation that can in the ESG hierarchy system, make progress.If selected project is consumable, for example, then consume this business because it is program or it is that an active section purpose business is only arranged therein.Consumption can be called the data of new reception and/or the data relevant with selecting business of storage in advance in memory.If professional by scrambler or encryption, then consumption can be invoked at the descrambling of subscription data zone 116 stored or the use of decruption key or coding.Certainly, shown project depends on professional accessibility setting or input and in the subscription data content of subscription data zone 116 stored.The business that on display 104, shows or the relevant information of program can comprise title, business or program description, time started, program category (for example audio frequency, audio-video, recreation, or the like), classification or other classification, or the like.Can obtain the time started according to ESG data area 114 or according to subscription data zone 116.
Figure 17 is how diagram provides the example of the browsed ESG that realizes by user interface according to the terminal in Figure 15 of a kind of embodiment a flow chart.At step S6, need on display 104, show ESG.At this, display controller 118 is to ESG application program 107 request ESG architecture information, and it receives at step S7.Subsequently, terminal 100 determines whether to exist professional accessibility setting at step S8.If there is this setting, then it is extracted at step S9.Otherwise the professional accessibility of this terminal request is imported, and receives at step S10.After step S9 and S10, display controller 118 obtains ESG information, it and the ESG rank correlation that will show, and place it in the tabulation at step S11.The content that comprises in tabulation that generates at step S11 depends on this setting, for example can be combination, collection of services or any other suitable data.
