Abstract
A system and a method for realizing the program guide service based on an interactive television platform belong to the field of digital televisions. The television program guide system developed by the technology adopts an XML-based technology. Since the XML is a marked language with extendability, and has strong extendability relative to the program guide for the application form of a set-top box; and the element and the logic for application can be added without changing the software structure. A front-end system performs configuration and broadcasting to various parameters of the application interface, and the set-top box realizes the flexible interface style display by reading the configuration file in the network. The interface of the XML-based technology is theoretically represented that the limitless probabilities for changing the interface style for the operators are endued. Simply stated, the interface can be changed in a novel form by updating the XML configuration file through the network without performing software upgrading to the set-top box; and the user obtains the program guide application system with friendly interface and powerful function.
Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to the program guide application service field of interactive TV, particularly a kind of application system of TV program guide and method.
Background technology
TV program guide is a basic function of interactive TV, is interactive television system provides main service interface from all kinds of business to the user.Along with the increase of all kinds of value-added services of interactive TV, and the user is to the raising of service request, and interactive TV service provider must use by development interface program guide friendly more, that function is more powerful.Therefore, need to build supporting front end TV programme application service system, be used for the broadcast items guide and use required various information.This category information comprises look ﹠ feel form, professional column definition, channel configuration information or the like.
The system and method for program guide has experienced constantly brings forth new ideas and develops.
2002 is the phase I.The function that program guide when interactive TV has just been released provides is fairly simple, has only the function of electronic program guide (EPG), and the function of simple programme inquiry is provided, and programme shows by date.On technology realized, the program guide of this mode was based on the SI standard criterion, is solidificated in the software in the set-top box simultaneously, can only could upgrade interface and supporting picture information by software download.
2004 is second stage, and TV program guide grows a lot, and can upgrade the program guide application of interface information by network, makes more horn of plenty of function, and essential element has:
● homepage has the video of many pictures to be selected, and can check corresponding video frequency program PF information;
● electronic program guide (EPG) information is divided into Digital Television and 2 parts of digital music, and can sub-categoryly show.
● have program reminding function is set
● have the inlet of interactive application
● have interactive TV service provider release of service
But ● releasing advertisements
Most elements can be upgraded by network in the interface, and the programme information in the interface reads from standard SI information, upgrades at any time; Release of service and advertisement can be passed through more new configuration file of network; The content of many picture videos can be selected to change by revising video channel; The classification of electronic program guide (EPG) information can show that the channel that channel classification title and classification comprise can upgrade by network according to channel classification.
Because above each dvielement can be configured by broadcasting end, configuration information issues by network in object carousel (Object Carousel) mode, and each set-top-box opening is network resource search again all, and each element promptly may be updated as what be new.
But the program guide that this set-top box application mode realizes still has a lot of restrictions.Such as the content that can only change picture, can not change the size and the position of picture, can not change the logical relation of application.
Summary of the invention
Key content of the present invention is: television program guide system is based on the XML technology, gives the operator operation interface more flexibly.
Along with the modification to the interface requires to get more and more, correcting is more and more frequent, and original mode can not meet the demands gradually, needs a kind of technology to realize program guide implementation more flexibly.
The television program guide system of the technology of the present invention exploitation adopts based on the XML technology.Because XML is the mark language of extensibility, with respect to the program guide of second stage set-top box application mode, extensibility is strong, can need not to change software architecture and the element and the logic that increase application.Front end system can be configured and broadcast all kinds of parameters of this application interface, and terminal set top box realizes that by reading the configuration file in the network look ﹠ feel shows flexibly.
Interface based on the XML technology shows the unlimited possibility of having given operator's change look ﹠ feel in theory.Simple must saying need not to carry out the software upgrading of set-top box, just can upgrade the XML configuration file by network and be changed to a new form in the interface, from newly arriving.
The main demand of TV program guide application service system is as follows:
1. system provides the configuration tool of following information:
● the configuration of advertisement picture is provided;
● the editor of horse race lamp content is provided;
● the configuration of weather forecast information is provided;
● the configuration of channel station symbol is provided;
● the configuration of nine picture bit streams is provided;
2. system provides XML editting function.Can program guide be used required various information be configured by revising and read the file of XML form.
3. system provides audit function, and the auditor can check the change of the look ﹠ feel and the configuration information of program guide in advance by set-top box.
4. system need support the issue and the broadcast of program guide configuration data.
5. system provides the setting of user right, distinguishes different rights such as editor, issue.
6. system carries out backup management to the FileVersion of program guide application.Support following guide function with the program guide system that the present invention realizes:
(1) recommends the video taking turn
Can support the demonstration one by one of many picture videos, and carry out convergent-divergent by a certain percentage, and be equipped with corresponding program recommendation information.
(2) seven days electronic program guide EPG
Can support digital video programs to comprise the seven days electronic program guide information of today today backward.
In seven days electronic program guides, the setting that can remind and pre-record program.When program is provided with prompting,, will ejects and remind the conflict prompting frame to supply user's selection if remind program to clash with having established.When setting is pre-recorded to program, and if establish the program of pre-recording and clash, the ejection conflict prompting frame of pre-recording is selected for the user.When pre-recording, can support the classification of pre-recording, will pre-record program storage in suitable classification.
(3) scrolling information bar
Can support horse race lamp formula scrolling information bar, issue important announcement etc.
(4) weather forecast
Can support weather forecast today and tomorrow, periodic refreshing.
(5) channel classification
But support channel tabulation function.Be divided into: all channels, CCTV's channel (all channels of CCTV), nonlocal satellite TV, local channel, pay channel, my channel (collection channel that user oneself sets).
In channel list, can show the icon of " setting is liked " and " setting locks ".
