Abstract

The invention discloses a method and a system for reserving a television program. The method comprises the following steps: S1, receiving key words; S2, extracting and receiving an electronic program guide from digital television signals or digital broadcast signals, searching a corresponding program in the electronic program guide according to the key words, and storing the searched corresponding program in a subscribed list; and S3, reminding the program according to the stored subscribed list. Because the key words of the program are adopted for searching the corresponding program in the electronic program guide, as long as the electronic program guide is updated, no matter the program is delayed or played normally, the method and the system for reserving the television program play a good role in reserving, have larger flexibility compared with the prior art, and thoroughly solve verboseness and limitation of common reservation and reservation adopting time and channel number.

Description

A kind of TV program order method and system
Technical field
The present invention relates to the reservation technology of TV programme, in particular a kind of TV program order method and system based on digital television signal.
Background technology
DTV is compared with the simulation TV, and its antijamming capability is strong, the noiseless accumulation, and the sound of transmission and picture quality are high, are convenient to the transmission of flexible combination multiple business etc.Because it has adopted compress technique, in identical channel width, can transmit more digital television program, multiple digital service may be combined in together through a professional transmission simultaneously.Therefore DTV no longer has been single television services, and is meant the digital service through the television transmission passage, comprises video, audio frequency, image, data etc.When DTV provides the program that is several times as much as present program amount and multiple business for the user,, TV guide and program predetermination function have been proposed for the user can select program quickly and easily.
Present TV program order method roughly is divided into following two kinds:
The first, preengage according to time and channel setting, its implementation is: input needs time, channel and the time limit of preserved program during reservation, the time limit comprise the same day, weekly, every month, irregularly (time range) or the like, time is up can remind.For example need watch " both sides of the Straits " that CCTV-4 20:30 every night broadcasts, then the channel of time 20:30 and CCTV-4 imported and stored that then every day, 20:30 can carry out program reminding.But this mode of preengaging according to the time has significant limitation; Program for the special set time broadcasts is not bad like " news hookup "; But, then do not have the effect of reservation for not being the very punctual program that broadcasts or those every days owing to some special circumstances need be intercutted the program that other programs are postponed.Like TV play " struggle ", be that 20:00 broadcasts yesterday, but 20:00 tonight need intercut 1 hour passion Olympic Games theatrical items temporarily, the TV play broadcast of can only postponing, and then this reservation is nonsensical.
The second, program is recorded, watched then, this solution needs that bigger input is arranged on the hardware, as recording with PVR (Personal video recorder, individual video video recording), but needs bigger memory space.Application number is 200410103576 Chinese patent, and for the problem that solves memory capacity has proposed a kind of method, the system of this realization customizing content of TV program comprises TV programme customization request transmitting apparatus, Play Control terminal and stream medium data center.Implementation is following: send program customizing request through the Internet to the stream medium data center by TV programme customization request transmitting apparatus, recording and storing of content of TV program carried out according to request in the stream medium data center.When the stream medium data center received the TV programme playing request of sending via the Internet, the content of TV program that request is play was sent to playback terminal through the Internet, and some is similar to video request program.Share though can realize storage, this is not what each family can independent operation, and need be by the internet, if TV station introduce these equipment, its cost of use also is high.
Therefore, prior art awaits to improve and development.
