摘要： The invention is a device for generating a display of an electronic program guide on a screen. Invention is comprised of a receiver which includes a tuner for receiving an input stream of television content and electronic program guide data. The receiver separates the electronic program guide data from the input stream. The invention also comprises a memory coupled to the receiver for storing the electronic program guide data that has been separated from the input stream. Additionally, a display means is included for generating a display which combines a set of electronic program guide data. The program guide data includes a plurality of program titles, and a plurality of organizational categories. Each program title belongs to at least one of the organizational categories. The program titles are arranged in the display so that the program titles which belong to the same organizational categories are spatially adjacent and program titles which are not members of the same organizational categories are spatially separated. The organizational categories provide a first-level organization which defines overall content of the display. It also defines a second-level organization which defines the spatial separation of the program titles. The organizational categories are time, channel, topic and actor based, and are used at any organizational level.

摘要： A device that detects and displays similar programs within a video system includes a memory, a display and a receiver that receives an input stream of television program content and electronic program guide data, wherein. the program guide data includes a plurality of attributes characterizing television programs within the television program content. The receiver separates electronic program guide data from the input stream while the memory stores the electronic program guide data separated from the input stream. Upon receiving a first user request, a controller compares a first set of attributes relating to at least one television program within the television content with second sets of attributes relating to further television programs within the television program content to determine a correlation between the first television program and each of the further television programs. In this manner, the controller identifies the television programs that have attributes that are similar to the attributes of the first television program based on the correlation and displays indications of the television programs found to be similar.

摘要： A device for generating a display of an electronic program guide on a screen includes a receiver having a tuner which receives an input stream of television content and electronic program guide data, and which separates the electronic program guide data from the input stream. A memory is coupled to the tuner to store the electronic program guide data separated from the input stream. A display generator creates a display which combines a set of electronic program guide data. The display includes a narrative text written in a story-like manner. The narrative text resembles a magazine article and includes a hyper-link that provides a link to a television program. The display includes a program title, a program subject matter description, and a time of transmission. A controller which is coupled to the tuner, the memory, and the display generator receives a user tuning request generated by selecting the hyper-link from the narrative text, and signals the display generator to create a display of the television program.

摘要： The present invention is described by an electronic program guide with a calendar tool, and a method and apparatus for transmitting and receiving the electronic program guide. The apparatus includes a transmission station and a plurality of receiver stations. The transmission station creates program guide data that is in an “object” format. The transmission station combines the program guide objects with digital audio and video television signals, and transmits an output stream to the plurality of receiver stations. Each of the plurality of receiver stations stores electronic program guide objects. Using data from the electronic program guide objects, the plurality of receiver stations generate a listing of television program representations, and a calendar image separate from and adjacent to the plurality of television program representations. The calendar image includes a selection indicator for selecting a date and time, and includes a plurality of program indicators that provide indications of the dates on which a set of television programs will be broadcast.
