Abstract

ESTE SISTEMA PERMITE AL USUARIO INTRODUCIR (166, 188) EN MEMORIA (120) ETIQUETAS DE TEXTO CORRESPONDIENTES A LOS CANALES RESPECTIVOS QUE SE VAN A SINTONIZAR DE MODO QUE, UN CANAL QUE SE DESEA SINTONIZAR, PUEDE SER SELECCIONADO POR EL USUARIO INTRODUCIENDO SU ETIQUETA. EL TIEMPO NECESARIO PARA BUSCAR EN LA MEMORIA LA PARTE QUE HACE JUEGO CON UNA ETIQUETA PREVIAMENTE ALMACENADA DURANTE UN CAMBIO DE CANAL, ES MINIMIZADO AL GUARDAR LAS ETIQUETAS EN ORDEN ALFABETICO Y REALIZANDO UNA BUSQUEDA BINARIA DE LA ZONA DE MEMORIA DONDE ESTAN LAS ETIQUETAS.
