And after the kernel is started, loading the Shell and the user application program. The application program is compiled into machine code after being started, and a process is formed.

A schematic diagram of the software configuration in the display device 200 according to some embodiments is illustrated in fig. 4. Referring to fig. 4, in some embodiments, the system is divided into four layers, which are an Application (Applications) layer (abbreviated as "Application layer"), an Application Framework (Application Framework) layer (abbreviated as "Framework layer"), an Android runtime (Android runtime) and system library layer (abbreviated as "system runtime library layer"), and a kernel layer from top to bottom.

In some embodiments, at least one application program runs in the application program layer, and the application programs can be Window (Window) programs carried by an operating system, system setting programs, clock programs, camera applications and the like; or may be an application developed by a third party developer such as a hi program, a karaoke program, a magic mirror program, or the like. In specific implementation, the application packages in the application layer are not limited to the above examples, and may actually include other application packages, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

The framework layer provides an Application Programming Interface (API) and a programming framework for the application program of the application layer. The application framework layer includes a number of predefined functions. The application framework layer acts as a processing center that decides to let the applications in the application layer act. The application program can access the resource in the system and obtain the service of the system in execution through the API interface

As shown in fig. 4, in the embodiment of the present application, the application framework layer includes a manager (Managers), a Content Provider (Content Provider), and the like, where the manager includes at least one of the following modules: an Activity Manager (Activity Manager) is used for interacting with all activities running in the system; the Location Manager (Location Manager) is used for providing the system service or application with the access of the system Location service; a Package Manager (Package Manager) for retrieving various information related to an application Package currently installed on the device; a Notification Manager (Notification Manager) for controlling display and clearing of Notification messages; a Window Manager (Window Manager) is used to manage the icons, windows, toolbars, wallpapers, and desktop components on a user interface.

In some embodiments, the activity manager is to: managing the life cycle of each application program and the general navigation backspacing function, such as controlling the exit of the application program (including switching the user interface currently displayed in the display window to the system desktop), opening, backing (including switching the user interface currently displayed in the display window to the previous user interface of the user interface currently displayed), and the like.

In some embodiments, the window manager is configured to manage all window processes, such as obtaining a display size, determining whether a status bar is available, locking a screen, intercepting a screen, controlling a display change (e.g., zooming out, dithering, distorting, etc.) and the like.

In some embodiments, the system runtime layer provides support for the upper layer, i.e., the framework layer, and when the framework layer is used, the android operating system runs the C/C + + library included in the system runtime layer to implement the functions to be implemented by the framework layer.

For example, a live television application may provide television signals using input from cable television, radio broadcasts, satellite services, or other types of live television services. And, the live television application may display video of the live television signal on the display device 200.

In some embodiments, a video-on-demand application may provide video from different storage sources. Unlike live television applications, video on demand provides a video display from some storage source. For example, the video on demand may come from a server side of the cloud storage, from a local hard disk storage containing stored video programs.

In some embodiments, the media center application may provide various applications for multimedia content playback. For example, a media center, which may be other than live television or video on demand, may provide services that a user may access to various images or audio through a media center application.

In some embodiments, an application center may provide storage for various applications. The application may be a game, an application, or some other application associated with a computer system or other device that may be run on the smart television. The application center may obtain these applications from different sources, store them in local storage, and then be operable on the display device 200.

In some embodiments, when the display device is used to implement a digital television function, an EPG (Electronic Program Guide) page is typically used in the display device to display supported television channels or programs. Because of the large number of television programs that can be supported by a display device, multiple EPG pages are typically utilized for common presentation. For example, a television program of 7 days in the future is usually displayed on a plurality of EPG pages of the display device, a corresponding program channel in a certain broadcast time period is displayed in each EPG page, and each program channel corresponds to a plurality of program information.

Each EPG page is displayed with a program information area, where the program information area is used to display a certain broadcasting time period and a plurality of program information corresponding to the time period and from a plurality of program channels, and the program information is UI display data corresponding to the television program, such as CCTV1, CCTV2, CCTV5, and the like. Several program information corresponding to a plurality of program channels displayed in a program information area of a certain EPG page can be regarded as a program list of a corresponding broadcast time period.

Each program information can obtain a focus, when a certain program information under a certain program channel is selected to be played, the movement of the focus on each program information can be controlled through the remote controller, and the detailed information of the current program information where the focus is located can be checked through triggering a confirmation key of the remote controller. In addition, each program information presented on the EPG page can also be reserved for watching, recording and the like.

For example, if the user wants to watch the program information a in the future broadcasting time slot a, but the user cannot watch the program information a in the future broadcasting time slot a due to work or other reasons, the program information a corresponding to the broadcasting time slot a may be automatically recorded by the display device by invoking the reserved recording function configured in the display device. If the user wants to watch the program information B in the future broadcasting time slot B, and if the user worrys about forgetting to watch the program, the user can be reminded to watch the program information B before the broadcasting time slot B by calling the reserved watching function configured in the display equipment.

After some program information is reserved, corresponding icons, such as program reservation marks, can be displayed on the corresponding program information for the convenience of viewing by a user. For example, an alarm reminder icon is displayed for the program information scheduled to be viewed, a camera icon is displayed for the program information scheduled to be recorded, and the icon is used as a program reservation mark to identify that the program information has been reserved. And generating a reservation list according to the time period and the program channel corresponding to the reserved program information.

Because each EPG page presents a plurality of program channels corresponding to a plurality of program information, if a certain program information in a certain EPG page has a reservation situation, a program reservation mark needs to be displayed on the program information. However, if there is newly reserved program information, it is necessary to first determine whether the program information exists in the reservation list, and if not, then display a program reservation mark.

When the EPG page is loaded, in order to determine whether a program reservation mark needs to be displayed in the page, the existing method compares each program information in the EPG page with a reservation list, which has a large calculation amount, and the program reservation mark is displayed slowly, thereby affecting the loading speed of the EPG page and affecting the user experience.

In order to facilitate fast display of the program reservation label, the display device provided in the embodiment of the present invention performs the calculation of the program reservation label only for the program information that conflicts with the reservation of the reservation list, so that a large amount of calculation processes can be saved. The display device includes: a display and a controller. The display is configured to display an EPG page in which broadcast time periods, program channels, and program information are displayed. A controller is coupled to the display, the controller configured to perform a method of rapidly displaying a program reservation icon for rapid display of a program reservation label.

A flow diagram of a method of quickly displaying a program reservation icon in accordance with some embodiments is illustrated in fig. 6; a data flow diagram illustrating a method of quickly displaying a program reservation icon in accordance with some embodiments is shown in fig. 7. Referring to fig. 6 and 7, in the display device according to the embodiment of the present invention, when the method for quickly displaying the program reservation icon is performed, the controller is configured to perform the following steps:

and S1, acquiring a reservation list and target program display information corresponding to a target EPG page displayed in the display, wherein the reservation list stores reserved program information for making program reservation.

When a user enters an EPG page or turns pages through a remote controller, the loading process of the EPG page is executed once. Only one EPG page is displayed on the display at the same time, namely the target EPG page, and all EPG pages are not displayed at the same time. Because a plurality of program channels are configured in the display equipment, the display degree of the EPG page is limited, so that each EPG page only displays part of the program channels and does not display all the program channels simultaneously. Meanwhile, the EPG page does not display all the time, but only displays the display time length corresponding to the broadcasting time period, so that a certain EPG page displayed in the display can clearly display a plurality of program information of each program channel in each time period. That is, the target EPG page corresponds to the target program list.

Each EPG page displays a corresponding broadcast time period, program channel, and program information as program display information. In some embodiments, the display time length corresponding to the broadcast time period of each EPG page may be set to 2 hours, or may be set to other values according to the actual application, and is not particularly limited.

A display schematic of an EPG page according to some embodiments is illustrated in fig. 8. For example, when a certain EPG page is loaded, the playing time period in the EPG page is 10: 00-12: 00, and the displayed time values are 10:00 and 11:00, which represent the starting time of two time lengths corresponding to 10: 00-12: 00, namely, the starting time 10:00 represents the time length of 10: 00-11: 00, and the starting time 11:00 represents the time length of 11: 00-12: 00. The program channels are from channel 6(TS [ DVB://233A.6]) to channel 10(TS [ DVB://233A.10]), and the plurality of program information are information of television programs to be broadcast in channels from channel 6 to channel 10 at a ratio of 10:00 to 12: 00.

When entering an EPG page or turning pages, in order to calculate whether a program reservation icon to be displayed exists under the EPG page, the controller needs to first acquire a reservation list and target program display information corresponding to a target EPG page displayed in the display.

The reservation list stores reserved program information for making a program reservation, that is, a reservation time interval corresponding to the reserved program, a reserved program channel group corresponding to the reservation time interval, and reserved program information. The target program display information includes a target broadcast time period presented in the target EPG page, a target program channel group within the target broadcast time period, and a plurality of program information corresponding to the target program channel group. The target program channel group includes a plurality of target program channels, i.e., a plurality of target program channels corresponding to the currently displayed target EPG page, for example, channels 6 to 10 shown in fig. 8, which are the target program channel group. Each target program channel corresponds to a plurality of program information within a target broadcast time period.

S2, determining whether there is a reservation conflict based on the target program display information in the target EPG page and the reserved program information in the reservation list.

When the target EPG page is loaded, whether the page needs to display the program reservation label or not is conveniently and accurately judged, and the calculation and the display are quickly carried out, so that the calculation process that each program information in the target EPG page is executed with the program reservation label once is avoided. In some embodiments, it may be determined whether the display information of the target program shown in the target EPG page has a reservation conflict with the reservation list.

And when the target EPG page is loaded, the target EPG page corresponds to a target broadcasting time period. If the program reservation mark is displayed in the target broadcasting time period, the method can be equivalent to judging whether the newly set program reservation and the original reservation conflict exist in the target broadcasting time period, and the generation of the reservation conflict indicates that the program reservation mark needs to be displayed.

When the reservation conflicts are set to reserve a certain time period for recording or watching, other reservations cannot exist in the set time period, and if the reservation conflicts with other reservations, the conflict is generated. For example, if a program requiring recording of the CCTV1 in 8: 00-8: 30 tomorrow is stored in the reservation list, but if the reservation newly generated by the user is a program requiring recording of the CCTV2 in 8: 10-8: 50 tomorrow, the new reservation time period and the original reservation time period generate a coincidence time period of 8: 10-8: 30, and then a reservation conflict occurs.

When judging whether the program list in the target EPG page has a reservation conflict with the reservation list, the method needs to display information based on the target program in the target EPG page and the reservation program information in the reservation list, wherein the target program display information comprises a target broadcasting time interval and a target program channel group, and the reservation program information comprises a target reservation time interval and a target reservation program channel group.

A flow diagram of a method of determining whether a reservation conflict exists is illustrated in fig. 9, in accordance with some embodiments. Referring to fig. 9, the controller, in performing the determination of whether there is a reservation conflict based on the target program display information in the target EPG page and the reserved program information in the reservation list, is further configured to:

s21, in the reservation list, a target reserved time interval corresponding to the target broadcasting time period and a target reserved program channel group corresponding to the target program channel group are determined.

S22, determining whether there is a reserved program channel in the target reserved program channel group of the reserved list in the target reserved time interval.

S23, if there is a reserved program channel in the target reserved program channel group, determining that there is a reservation conflict.

S24, if there is no reserved program channel in the target reserved program channel group, determining that there is no reservation conflict.

When comparing the target program list presented in the target EPG page with the reservation list, the comparison time period of the reservation list needs to be kept the same as the time period corresponding to the target program list, so the target reservation time period in the reservation list can be determined based on the target broadcast time period corresponding to the target program list. For example, if the target broadcasting time period corresponding to the target program list presented in the target EPG page is 10:00 to 12:00, the target reservation time period in the reservation list is also 10:00 to 12: 00.

Meanwhile, when the reservation conflict is judged, only the target program channels presented in the target EPG page are compared, namely the target program list is the same as the compared program channels of the reservation list. Accordingly, the target reserved program channel group in the reservation list may be determined based on the target program channel group corresponding to the target program list presented in the target EPG page. For example, if the target program channel group corresponding to the target program list presented in the target EPG page is channel 6 to channel 10, the target reserved program channel group in the reservation list is also channel 6 to channel 10.

After determining the target reserved channel group which needs to be subjected to reservation conflict judgment, whether a reserved program channel exists in the target reserved program channel group of the reserved list in the target reserved time interval can be judged. The reserved program channel refers to a program channel for which a user has previously reserved a program, and if the program channel for which the program is reserved exists, namely the reserved program channel exists in the target reserved program channel group, it is determined that a reservation conflict exists; and if the program channel which is reserved for the program does not exist, namely the reserved program channel does not exist in the target reserved program channel group, determining that no reservation conflict exists.

When judging whether the reserved program channel exists in the target reserved program channel group, the judgment can be carried out according to whether the reserved time interval corresponding to each reserved program channel is coincident with the target broadcasting time interval.

In some embodiments, the controller in executing step S22, namely determining whether there is a reserved program channel in the target reserved program channel group of the reservation list within the target reserved time interval, is further configured to execute the following steps:

step 221, acquiring a plurality of program broadcasting time periods corresponding to the target program channel group in the target broadcasting time period.

Step 222, judging whether a time slot which is coincident with the broadcasting time slot of any program exists in the target reserved time interval.

In step 223, if there is a time slot with coincident generation time in the target reserved time interval, it is determined that there is a reserved program channel in the target reserved program channel group.

Step 224, if there is no time slot with coincident generation time in the target reserved time interval, determining that there is no reserved program channel in the target reserved program channel group.

In the target broadcasting time period corresponding to the target EPG page, a plurality of target program channels exist, each target program channel corresponds to a plurality of program information, and each program information corresponds to one program broadcasting time period, so that the target program channel group corresponds to a plurality of program broadcasting time periods. The program broadcasting time period refers to a time period in which the program information is broadcasted, and includes a start time and an end time.

For example, in the target broadcast time period of 10:00 to 12:00, the target program channel group is from channel 6 to channel 10. The channel 6 corresponds to program information A61, and the corresponding program broadcasting time period is 10: 10-10: 30; the method comprises the following steps of (1) including program information A62, wherein the corresponding program broadcasting time period is 10: 35-10: 50; the program information A63 is included, and the corresponding program broadcasting time period is 11: 00-11: 50. The channel 7 corresponds to program information A71, and the corresponding program broadcasting time period is 10: 00-10: 25; the method comprises the following steps of (1) including program information A72, wherein the corresponding program broadcasting time period is 10: 30-10: 50; the method comprises the following steps of (1) including program information A73, wherein the corresponding program broadcasting time period is 11: 00-11: 20; the program information A74 is included, and the corresponding program broadcasting time period is 11: 25-11: 59. By analogy, the channel 10 corresponds to the program information A101, and the corresponding program broadcasting time period is 10: 00-10: 45; the method comprises the following steps of (1) including program information A102, wherein the corresponding program broadcasting time period is 10: 50-11: 20; the program information A103 is included, and the corresponding program broadcasting time period is 11: 25-11: 59.

Because the program channel groups and the time periods corresponding to the reservation list and the target program list of the target EPG page are the same, whether a time period which is coincident with the broadcasting time period of any program exists in the target reservation time interval corresponding to the reservation list can be judged, so that whether the reserved program channel exists in the target reserved program channel group or not can be judged. If a time slot in the target reservation time interval is coincident with any one of the program broadcasting time slots, which indicates that a program is reserved under a certain program channel, the reserved program channel in the target reserved program channel group is determined to exist, and further the reservation conflict can be determined to exist. If a time slot does not exist in the target reservation time interval and is coincident with any program broadcasting time slot, which indicates that no program is reserved under any program channel, the reservation program channel does not exist in the target reservation program channel group, and further the reservation conflict can be determined to not exist.

There is a reservation conflict, that is, it is said that there is a program channel reserved before in the standard EPG page, that is, there is a program reservation mark to be displayed under the program channel.

S3, if there is a reservation conflict, determining the designated program channel and the designated time period for which the reservation conflict occurred.

Since the subscription list and the program list of a certain EPG page belong to different service modules, their data structures are different and are usually stored separately. The reservation list is a dynamic list, and the program list is also a list generated by acquiring a certain EPG page displayed in a current display in a code stream in real time, so that the reservation list and the program list cannot be directly subjected to data binding. That is, when it is determined that there is a reservation conflict, the specific program information that causes the reservation conflict cannot be directly acquired, and instead, the designated program channel and the designated time period that cause the reservation conflict are acquired.

When a reservation conflict exists between a target program list and a reservation list of a target EPG page, a designated program channel and a designated time slot which generate the reservation conflict can be determined, wherein the designated program channel refers to a program channel which generates time coincidence, the designated time slot refers to an integral time slot formed by at least one time slot which generates time coincidence in the designated program channel, and the integral time slot is not a specific time slot corresponding to certain program information.

A flow chart of a method of determining a specified program channel and a specified time period according to some embodiments is illustrated in fig. 10. Referring to fig. 10, in some embodiments, the controller, in performing determining the designated program channel and the designated time period for which the reservation conflict arises if the reservation conflict exists, is further configured to:

and S31, if the reservation conflict exists, acquiring the appointed program channel generating the reservation conflict and the reservation time of at least one piece of reserved program information corresponding to the appointed program channel, wherein the reservation time comprises a reservation initial time and a reservation ending time.

S32, obtaining the reservation initial time of the first reserved program information and the reservation end time of the last reserved program information corresponding to the designated program channel.

And S33, generating a designated time period corresponding to the designated program channel based on the reservation initial time and the reservation ending time.

Since a plurality of program information correspond to the same program channel, there may be a case where the plurality of program information are reserved in advance, that is, there may be a plurality of program information with overlapping generation time, that is, a plurality of reserved program information, in the same program channel.

When a reservation conflict occurs, it can be determined that a time slot in the target reservation time interval coincides with any program broadcasting time slot, which indicates that a program is reserved under a certain program channel, and then the program channel reserved with the program in the target reservation program channel group is determined as the designated program channel.

When determining the designated time slot of the designated program channel, the reservation time of each reserved program information with time coincidence under the designated program channel, namely the reservation initial time and the reservation ending time, needs to be acquired first. If a plurality of pieces of program information are overlapped in time under the appointed program channel, namely under the condition of reservation conflict, the reservation time of the reserved program information which is possible to be discontinuous but has a plurality of overlapped times is fused to form a complete continuous time period.

When time fusion is carried out, the reservation initial time for generating the first reservation program information is taken as the starting time, the reservation ending time for generating the last reservation program information is taken as the ending time, and the starting time and the ending time are fused into a complete continuous time slot, namely the designated time slot. If the appointed program channel only corresponds to one piece of appointed program information, the appointed time of the appointed program information is the appointed time period corresponding to the appointed program channel.

A schematic diagram of determining a specified time period according to some embodiments is illustrated in fig. 11. Referring to fig. 11, the designated program channels in which the reservation conflict occurs are channel 7 and channel 10. The channel 7 in which the conflict 1 exists has a reserved program information (reservation 3), and the reserved time is 10: 30-10: 50; the channel 10 in which the conflict 2 exists has two pieces of reserved program information (reservation 1 and reservation 2), and the corresponding reservation time is 10: 00-10: 45 and 10: 50-11: 20 respectively.

Since only one piece of reserved program information exists in the channel 7, the starting time of the designated time period corresponding to the channel 7 is the reserved initial time 10:30 of the reserved program information, and the ending time is the reserved ending time 10:50 of the reserved program information, so that the designated time period of the channel 7 is 10: 30-10: 50.

And the channel 10 corresponds to two pieces of reserved program information, the starting time of the designated time slot corresponding to the channel 10 is 10:00 of the reserved initial time of the first reserved program information (reserved 1), the ending time is 11:20 of the reserved ending time of the second reserved program information (reserved 2), and the designated time slot of the channel 10 is 10: 00-11: 20.

After the designated program channel and the designated program time slot are determined, the program reservation marking calculation can be performed only for each program information of the designated program channel in the target EPG page, which corresponds to the designated program time slot, so as to quickly determine the program information which needs to be displayed by the program reservation marking.

And S4, acquiring a designated program reservation label corresponding to the designated program channel in the designated time slot, and displaying the designated program reservation label on the designated program information corresponding to the designated program channel, wherein the designated program reservation label is the program reservation label of the designated program information corresponding to the designated program channel.

When the program is rendered and displayed, the program reservation mark is calculated only for the appointed program channel with the reservation conflict and each program information in the appointed time slot, the appointed program information which needs to be displayed in the program reservation mark in the program information corresponding to the appointed program channel in the appointed time slot is determined, and the specific appointed program reservation mark is displayed on the appointed program information so as to mark the program information to be reserved.

A flow diagram of a method of determining a designated program reservation label according to some embodiments is illustrated in fig. 12. Referring to fig. 12, in some embodiments, the controller, in performing acquiring the designated program reservation label corresponding to the designated program channel within the designated time period, is further configured to perform the following steps:

and S41, acquiring at least one piece of program information corresponding to the appointed program channel in the appointed time period.

S42, program reservation flag calculation is performed for each piece of program information.

And S43, if any program information has the program reservation label, determining the program information with the program reservation label as the appointed program information, and the program reservation label of the appointed program information is the appointed program reservation label.

Under the appointed program channel, the corresponding program information is a plurality of program information, and at least one program information also exists in the appointed time slot, wherein the program information comprises appointed program information and non-appointed program information.

Therefore, in order to accurately determine which program information under a specific program channel needs to be displayed with a program reservation label, a program reservation label calculation needs to be performed on each program information of the specific program channel in a specific time slot in which a reservation conflict exists to determine the program reservation label that needs to be displayed. The marker calculation method may use an existing GC algorithm, and is not particularly limited herein.

And if the calculation result shows that any program information has the program reservation mark, determining the program information with the program reservation mark as the appointed program information, and marking the program reservation mark of the appointed program information as the appointed program reservation mark. And then, rendering the program, namely displaying the appointed program reservation mark on appointed program information corresponding to the appointed program channel. The program reservation label may include a label corresponding to a program reservation recording function, a label corresponding to a program reservation viewing function, and the like.

Therefore, when program reservation marking calculation is performed, calculation is performed only for program information under a designated program channel with reservation conflict, and program reservation marking calculation is not performed for each piece of program information under other program channels without reservation conflict, rendering is directly performed when an EPG page is loaded, that is, a target broadcasting time period and each piece of target program information corresponding to a target program channel are directly displayed.

As can be seen from the foregoing technical solutions, in the display device provided in the embodiments of the present invention, the controller is configured to determine whether there is a reservation conflict based on the reservation list and target program display information corresponding to a target EPG page displayed in the display; if the reservation conflict exists, determining a designated program channel and a designated time slot which generate the reservation conflict; acquiring a designated program reservation mark corresponding to the designated program channel in a designated time period, and displaying the designated program reservation mark on designated program information corresponding to the designated program channel. Therefore, when the EPG page is loaded, the display device provided in the embodiment of the present invention determines in advance whether there is a reservation conflict with the reservation list, and performs the program reservation label calculation only for the program information in the designated program channel where the reservation conflict occurs, and does not perform the program reservation label calculation for each program information in other program channels where no reservation conflict occurs, so that a large number of program reservation label calculation processes can be saved, and the program reservation label can be quickly displayed.

s2, judging whether a reservation conflict exists based on the target program display information in the target EPG page and the reservation program information in the reservation list;

s3, if there is a reservation conflict, determining the appointed program channel and the appointed time slot which generate the reservation conflict;

s4, obtaining a specific program reservation label corresponding to the specific program channel in a specific time slot, and displaying the specific program reservation label on specific program information corresponding to the specific program channel, where the specific program reservation label is a program reservation label of the specific program information corresponding to the specific program channel.

In some embodiments of the present application, the target program display information includes a target broadcast time period and a target program channel group, and the reserved program information includes a target reserved time interval and a target reserved program channel group; and the step of judging whether a reservation conflict exists based on the target program display information in the target EPG page and the reserved program information in the reservation list comprises the following steps: in the reservation list, determining a target reservation time interval corresponding to the target broadcasting time period and a target reservation program channel group corresponding to the target program channel group; judging whether a reserved program channel exists in a target reserved program channel group of the reserved list in the target reserved time interval; if the reserved program channel exists in the target reserved program channel group, determining that a reservation conflict exists; and if no reserved program channel exists in the target reserved program channel group, determining that no reservation conflict exists.

In some embodiments of the present application, the determining whether there is a reserved program channel in the target reserved program channel group of the reserved list in the target reserved time interval includes: acquiring a plurality of program broadcasting time periods corresponding to the target program channel group in the target broadcasting time period; judging whether a time period which is coincident with the playing time period of any program exists in the target reservation time interval or not; if a time period with coincident time exists in the target reservation time interval, determining that a reserved program channel exists in the target reserved program channel group; and if the time period of time coincidence is not generated in the target reservation time interval, determining that no reserved program channel exists in the target reserved program channel group.

In some embodiments of the present application, determining the specific program channel and the specific time slot that generate the reservation conflict if the reservation conflict exists includes: if the reservation conflict exists, acquiring a designated program channel generating the reservation conflict and reservation time of at least one piece of reserved program information corresponding to the designated program channel, wherein the reservation time comprises reservation initial time and reservation ending time; acquiring the reservation initial time of the first reservation program information and the reservation ending time of the last reservation program information corresponding to the appointed program channel; and generating a designated time period corresponding to the designated program channel based on the reservation initial time and the reservation ending time.

In some embodiments of the present application, the obtaining of a reservation label of a specific program corresponding to a specific program channel in a specific time period includes: acquiring at least one piece of program information corresponding to the appointed program channel in an appointed time period; performing program reservation marking calculation on each piece of program information; and if any program information has a program reservation mark, determining that the program information with the program reservation mark is appointed program information, wherein the program reservation mark of the appointed program information is the appointed program reservation mark.
