Graphic User lnterface (Gm) helps users to learn more about the current time period and the next time period when browsing the Electronic Programming Guide (EPG). In this embodiment, the multimedia device 1 is a digital television, which includes a receiving module, a display module 2, and a control group 3, and the receiving module 1 is connected to a television station (not shown). Line and receive - electronic program menu 200 (as shown in Figure 3) and a selection command; display module 2 for displaying a user interface (Figure 4); control module 3 (4) for receiving module ι and display module 2 The user interface 300 is displayed by using the read-only electronic program menu and the selection command control module 2. The method of presenting the electronic program menu 200 of the present embodiment will be described in detail below with reference to FIG. In particular, the presentation method of the present embodiment can be stored in a computer program product (for example, a compact disc), so that after the electronic device (for example, a computer) carries the program and executes it, the following steps can be completed. . 201228386 Step S10, the receiving module receives an electronic program menu fan, and the electronic program selection #200 includes a plurality of program categories, a plurality of program channels corresponding to each item category, a plurality of program names corresponding to the respective program channels, and a majority The program time corresponding to the name of the program (collectively referred to as Langmu Information) 'where the program time includes—start time and end time. Specifically, each program category, program channel, program name, or program time can be referred to as a program information. Therefore, the electronic program menu 200 of the present embodiment includes a plurality of program information and is presented in a hierarchy. Mode, N is a positive integer greater than zero, as shown in FIG. 3, this embodiment uses N=4 as an example to illustrate that the program information of the first (1) layer is the program general menu; the second (i+Ι) layer The program information is a program category. In the electronic program menu 200, the program channels are classified into four categories: "movie", "sports", "drama" and "news" according to their corresponding program categories; The program information of the ton layer is the program channel, the current program name and the current program time; the program information of the fourth _ is the current program name and its corresponding program time, and the next program name and its corresponding program time. Of course, the number of classes and the various classes The program information is not limited to this embodiment. Step S20 'The control module 3 controls the display module 2 to display the user interface _ as shown in FIG. *, and the user interface 3 (9) includes the __ main layer display The area 10 and the plurality of sub-level display areas 20. In the present embodiment, the main-level display area 1G is located at the center of the screen and has a circular shape. The sub-level display area 2G surrounds the main-level display area 1 and is also round. In the shape of the shape, the circular display area of the main layer display area 1G is larger than the circular display area of each sub-level display area 20, so that the overall surface of the dome is like a planet with more than 201228386 (secondary display area 20) surrounding the star (main The hierarchical display area is 1)), so that the user can view the electronic program menu 20 (refer to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the first (1) layer of program information is displayed in the main layer display area 1 ,, which includes a current time ( That is, "current time" and "select category", the sub-level display area 20 respectively displays the program categories, that is, the program information of the second (i+Ι) layer, and each sub-level display area 2〇 The distance between the main layer display area 10 and the main layer display area 10 is the same. In addition, the user interface 3〇〇 presented in this embodiment can also be presented in a 3D (3D) manner. The sub-level display 20 will match the spherical shape, which will be closer to the concept of the planet around the star to be presented in this case. Step S30, when the receiving module 1 receives a selection instruction corresponding to the program category selected by the user (for example, "sports") The control module 3 controls the display module 2 to display the selected program category in the main layer display area 1〇, as shown in FIG. 5, and each sub-level display area 2〇 displays the selected program respectively. The program channel of the category, and the current program name and program time currently played by each of the program channels, for example, the third cell in Figure 5 is currently playing the NBA, and the program is from 2 pm. Half-play until 4 pm. In particular, the selection command in this embodiment is sent by the user through a remote control (not shown) or by pressing a control button (not shown) on the digital TV, but Not limited to this. In other words, when one of the sub-hierarchy display areas 20 is selected, the program information of the second (i+1) layer in the sub-hierarchy display area 20 is moved to the main-level display area 10, and each sub-level is displayed. The 201228386 content displayed in the display area 20 is also changed to the corresponding third (i+2) layer program information. In addition, the distance between the main layer display area 1〇 and each sub-level display area 2〇 is determined according to the time difference between the current time and the end time of the program. In this embodiment, the relationship between the two is proportional. That is to say, the end time of the US basketball game played by Channel 36 (4 ·· 〇〇pM) and the time of the time (2 · 30PM) are the largest, so the main class shows the area and the second level. The distance between the display areas 20 is the farthest; and the time difference between the end time of the FIFA World Cup (3: 〇〇PM) and the current time (2: 30PM) of the 7th channel is the smallest, so the main class The distance between the display area 1〇 and the sub-level display area 20 is the closest, that is, the further the distance from the main display area ι〇 indicates that the program has a long time to be broadcasted, and the closer to the main display area 10 is. It means that the show is almost finished. Such a far-reaching design allows the user to better understand the current state of each program content so that the user can select the program. Of course, the distance between the main level display (four) ι〇 and each sub-level display area 20 can also be inversely related to the time difference between the current time and the end time' or according to the time difference between the current time and the start time. It is not limited to this embodiment. Step S40, when the receiving module i receives the selection instruction corresponding to the program channel (for example, channel 136) selected by the user, the control module 3 controls the display module 2 to select the selected program channel at the main level. The display area ι 显示 display 'as shown in Figure 6 'QD level (four) display area 2 () respectively shows the current program name and its program time corresponding to the program channel should be selected, as well as the next program name and its program time That is, when one of the third (four) layers of (4) information is selected, the (four) f message is moved to the main 10 201228386 class display area 10, and the content displayed in each sub-level display area 20 It will also be changed to the corresponding fourth (i+3) layer program information. Therefore, the control module 3 controls the display module 2 to select the program selected by the user: Bay. K is not displayed in the main level display area i 〇, and the sub-level display area 2 围绕 around the main level display area 10 displays the program information of the next level, so that the concept of the planet surrounding the star is used to present the program information of each level. . In addition, in step S20, the distance between each sub-hierarchy display area 2〇 and the main level display area 10 may also be related to the number of times it is selected. Therefore, the multimedia device 1 may further include a coupling to the control mode. The storage module 4 for storing the number of times the user selects each program category, the control module 3 can control the main layer display area 1G displayed by the display module 2 according to the number of times each program category is selected. The distance between the hierarchical display areas is as shown in FIG. 7. If the distance between each sub-level display area 2〇 and the main level display area 10 is inversely proportional to the number of times it is selected, the program that is often selected by the user is displayed. The category, the corresponding sub-hierarchy display area 2() will be closer to the main level display area 10. Moreover, the control module 3 can control the size of each sub-level display area 2〇 displayed by the display module 2 according to the number of times each program category is selected, for example, the more the program category selected by the user, The corresponding sub-hierarchy display area 20 will be larger (but still smaller than the main-level display area i, as shown in FIG. 8, which can also achieve the user interface of the user-friendly electronic program menu 200 in this case. In summary, the control module 3 controls the display module 2 to display the user interface 300 like a plurality of planets around the star according to the electronic program menus 2 (8) and 11 201228386, so that the user can browse the electronic program menu 2〇. 〇, and the distance between each sub-level display area 20 (planet) and the main level display area 1 值 (value star) will be related to the current time and each program time, so the design of the far and near can make the user more clear at a glance. Knowing the current state of each program content, so that the user can find the program he wants to see more efficiently, it can achieve the purpose of the present invention.
