In actual applications, when the user need check EPG information, at first need to obtain the video information of television channel, this television channel comprises current channel and adjacent channel.Described current channel is the current television channel of watching of choosing of user, described adjacent channel is for being arranged in the channel before or after the described current channel continuously, and the channel quantity of described adjacent channel is less than predetermined threshold value, and described predetermined threshold value is indicated the number of the television channel that the multipotency of the display interface of described subscriber equipment shows.The live frame numbers of the television channel that the subscriber equipment display interface can show is relevant with the ardware feature of this subscriber equipment, and this ardware feature must guarantee that the live picture smoothness that the display interface of described subscriber equipment shows is clear, and the EPG information that presents on the described subscriber equipment display interface comprises the broadcast information of the live picture of the live picture of current channel, at least one adjacent channel and current channel or at least one adjacent channel.

Example, the ardware feature of supposing subscriber equipment can guarantee that display interface plays 5 live pictures simultaneously, namely predetermined threshold value is 5.If the sequence number of current channel is 1, hereinafter to be referred as channel 1, described adjacent channel is for being arranged in the channel before or after the described current channel continuously, and the channel quantity of described adjacent channel is less than predetermined threshold value, described predetermined threshold value is indicated the number of the television channel that the multipotency of the display interface of described subscriber equipment shows, because predetermined threshold value is 5, therefore, adjacent channel can be channel 2, channel 3, channel 4 and channel 5.Watching the live picture of channel 1 as the user, but in the time of need checking EPG information, the user can be the broadcast information of at least one channel in the live picture of 1,2,3,4 and 5 channel and the above-mentioned channel for channel number in the EPG information that display interface views, or according to the EPG information display mode of reality, in display interface, show the follow-up of a live picture in the live picture of the live picture of at least two channels and above-mentioned at least two channels.

The method of the described video information of obtaining current channel and adjacent channel as shown in Figure 2, this method is applicable to that use provides the subscriber equipment of service from IPTV operator and/or digital-TV operator.Comprise:

201, whether the program source of judging first channel is from IP network, and described first channel comprises the channel in described current channel and the described adjacent channel.

Whether judge the program source of first channel from IP network, described first channel is a channel in described current channel and the described adjacent channel, judges that namely whether the program source of each channel in described current channel and the described adjacent channel is from IP network.

In actual applications, can judge that whether the program source of described first channel is from IP network according to the intrasystem data file of IPTV, this data file has identified all television channels that IPTV operator provides, when described first channel exists in described data file, the program source that just can judge described first channel comes from IP network, when described first channel did not exist in described data file, the program source that just can judge described first channel was not from IP network.

The program source that obtains described first channel when judgement is during from IP network, execution in step 202; The program source that obtains described first channel when judgement is not during from IP network, execution in step 206.Need to prove, step 201 is to be that IPTV operator provides in order to judge the program source that needs channel displayed on the current user equipment, still digital-TV operator provides, because the acquisition methods of the program source that above-mentioned two TV programme operators provide is different, therefore after judgement obtained the concrete operator of program is provided, subscriber equipment can select the acquisition methods of the correspondence of each operator's employing to obtain the video information of current channel.

Example, to check channel 1, channel 2, channel 3, channel 4 and the channel 5 of EPG information for the user, suppose to obtain the program source of channel 1, channel 2 and channel 3 from IP network according to described data file judgement, follow execution in step 202, suppose that subscriber equipment judges that the program source obtain channel 4 and channel 5 is not from IP network, execution in step 206.

202, whether the program source of judging described first channel belongs to same IP code stream.

Need to prove, when the program source of described first channel from IP network, when namely the program of current channel and adjacent channel is the program that is provided by IPTV operator, execution in step 202.Especially, an IP code stream can carry the program of a plurality of different channels, therefore, obtaining of program source to described first channel in this step can be carried out in two kinds of situation: when the program source of described first channel belongs to same IP code stream, execution in step 203, when the program source of described first channel does not belong to same IP code stream, execution in step 204.Need to prove that the method whether described program source of judging described first channel belongs to same IP code stream is prior art, does not repeat them here.

Example, when the program source that obtains channel 1, channel 2 and channel 3 when judgement belongs to same IP code stream, when execution in step 203, the program source that obtains channel 1, channel 2 and channel 3 when judgement belong to same IP code stream, execution in step 204.

203, whether inquiring user equipment supports multichannel video decoding.

Described multi-channel video information is decoded as a function of subscriber equipment, and this function can be used for simultaneously a plurality of program source code streams being decoded.

When inquiry obtains the decoding of subscriber equipment support multi-channel video information, execution in step 205; When obtaining subscriber equipment, inquiry do not support multi-channel video information when decoding, execution in step 204.

Example, if the television set in the embodiment of the invention is supported the multi-channel video information decoding, execution in step 205 is not if the television set in the embodiment of the invention is supported multi-channel video information decoding, execution in step 204.

204, distributing IP hardware resource and play the program of described first channel in turn.

When the program source that obtains described first channel when judgement does not belong to same IP code stream from the program source of IP network and described first channel, execution in step 204.

Example, when the user will check that the program source of channel 1, channel 2 and channel 3 of EPG information is from IP network and when the program source of described channel 1, channel 2 and channel 3 does not belong to same IP code stream, execution in step 204, in turn the video-information decoding hardware resource being distributed to the program source of 3 channels uses, the program of namely earlier the IP hardware resource being distributed to channel 1 uses, behind the program of broadcasting channel 1, the program of again the IP hardware resource being redistributed to channel 2 uses, and all plays until the program of described first channel.

205, adopt multichannel video decoding and begin to play the program of described first channel simultaneously.

Because subscriber equipment is supported the multi-channel video information decoding, therefore can adopt the multi-channel video information decoding a plurality of programs are decoded simultaneously and to play.

Example, to check that as the user program source of channel 1, channel 2 and channel 3 of EPG information is from IP network, when the program source of described channel 1, channel 2 and channel 3 belongs to same IP code stream and the decoding of subscriber equipment support multi-channel video information, can be to the program source distributing IP hardware resource of described channel 1, channel 2 and channel 3, the program source of described channel 1, channel 2 and channel 3 is decoded and play the program of described program source correspondence at corresponding channel.

206, whether the program source of judging described first channel belongs to same transport stream TS (Transport Stream, transport stream).

Need to prove, when the program source of described first channel is not from IP network, namely the program of described current channel and described adjacent channel provide for digital-TV operator program the time, execution in step 206.Especially, a TS code stream can carry the program of a plurality of different channels, therefore, obtaining of program source to described first channel in this step can be carried out in two kinds of situation: when the program source of described first channel belongs to same TS code stream, execution in step 207, when the program source of described first channel does not belong to same TS code stream, execution in step 208.Need to prove that the method whether described program source of judging described first channel belongs to same TS code stream is prior art, does not repeat them here.

Example, when the user will check that the channel 4 of EPG information and the program source of channel 5 are not from IP network, and the program source of described channel 4 and channel 5 is when belonging to same TS code stream, execution in step 207; When the user will check that the channel 4 of EPG information and the program source of channel 5 are not from IP network, and the program source of described channel 4 and channel 5 is not when belonging to same TS code stream, execution in step 208.

207, whether inquiring user equipment supports a plurality of tuners.

Need to prove that tuner is important part in the set-top box, set-top box is hardware part indispensable in IPTV technology and the digital television techniques.Live picture is by tuner center frequency point to be pinned, and decoding restores IP or TS code stream through multi-channel video information, and the audio/video information interface through display unit and television set outputs to television set again.

When subscriber equipment is supported a plurality of tuner, execution in step 203; When subscriber equipment is not supported a plurality of tuner, execution in step 209.

208, carry out the frequency locking action.

Described frequency locking action is used for tuner and pins a plurality of program source code streams, if television set has disposed two tuners: the first and tuner two of high frequency, then can use frequency of the first pinning of high frequency, recycling tuner two pins the another one frequency, so just can obtain different program source code streams respectively.

Example, to check channel 4 and the channel 5 of EPG information for the user, the program that subscriber equipment can be distributed to tuner frequency locking hardware resource 2 channels in turn uses, and can pin the program source code stream of channel 4 or channel 5 so in turn, and then execution in step 207.

209, distribution T S hardware resource and play the program of described first channel in turn.

The program source that obtains described first channel when judgement is not when obtaining subscriber equipment and do not support a plurality of tuner from IP network and inquiry, execution in step 209.

Example, not when obtaining described subscriber equipment and do not support a plurality of tuner from IP network and inquiry when the user will check the program source of the channel 4 of EPG information and channel 5, execution in step 209, in turn the video-information decoding hardware resource being distributed to the program source of described channel 4 and channel 5 uses, the program source code stream of namely earlier the TS hardware resource being distributed to channel 4 uses, behind the program of broadcasting channel 4, the program of again the TS hardware resource being redistributed to channel 5 uses, and all plays until the program of described first channel.

Need to prove; the sequencing of the method step of the video information of obtaining at least two channels that the embodiment of the invention provides can suitably be adjusted; step also can be carried out corresponding increase and decrease according to actual conditions; anyly be familiar with those skilled in the art in the technical scope that the present invention discloses; can expect easily all being encompassed in the method that changes within protection scope of the present invention.
