Description

Display equipment and channel program information display method Technical Field The present application relates to the field of display devices, and in particular, to a display device and a channel program information display method. Background The digital video broadcasting-Internet (Digital Video Broadcasting-Internet, DVB-I) is a broadcasting television and Internet fusion technical framework established by European DVB standardization organization, and aims to realize cross-platform and cross-terminal video service transmission through unified standards. The DVB-I integrates The traditional broadcasting modes of DVB satellites, wires, ground and The like and The network transmission modes of internet protocol television (Internet Protocol Television, IPTV), internet video service (Over-The-Top, OTT) and The like into The same standard framework through unification of metadata, encoding and decoding and transmission standards, and a user can receive television programs of different channels through a single terminal. Traditional television program information distribution relies mainly on broadcasting (e.g., satellite, terrestrial, cable) whereas internet television program information is distributed via the internet. But if the broadcast-distributed television program information is not updated in time, or the network distributes program information only for 1 day in the future, the television program information is inaccurate and incomplete. Therefore, it is often difficult to provide more comprehensive television program information using a single distribution scheme such as broadcasting or the internet. Disclosure of Invention Some embodiments of the present application provide a display apparatus and a channel program information display method. The broadcast and network electronic program guide may be stored simultaneously while the channel program is being broadcast at the broadcast signal source. When the program information of the channel needs to be displayed, the network electronic program guide is preferentially acquired, and if the network electronic program guide is not complete, the broadcasting electronic program guide can be fused, so that the more complete program information is displayed to the user. In a first aspect, some embodiments of the present application provide a display apparatus, including: a display; a controller configured to: Playing the program of the first channel in response to an instruction for playing the program of the first channel; If the playing signal source of the first channel is a broadcasting signal source, acquiring a broadcasting electronic program guide of the first channel through the broadcasting signal source, storing the broadcasting electronic program guide into a broadcasting database, acquiring a network electronic program guide of the first channel through a network, and storing the network electronic program guide into a fusion signal source database, wherein the first channel is a channel provided by the fusion signal source, and the fusion signal source is used for supporting the playing of the program of the first channel through the broadcasting signal source or the network signal source; acquiring a network electronic program guide of the first channel from a fusion signal source database in response to an instruction for displaying program information of the first channel; if the network electronic program guide is detected to be incomplete, acquiring a broadcast electronic program guide of a first channel from a broadcast database; Merging the network electronic program guide and the broadcast electronic program guide to obtain a merged electronic program guide; Program information for the first channel is displayed based on the fused electronic program guide. The technical scheme has the advantage that the broadcasting and network electronic program guide can be stored simultaneously when the channel program is played by the broadcasting signal source. When the program information of the channel needs to be displayed, the network electronic program guide is preferentially acquired, and if the network electronic program guide is not complete, the broadcasting electronic program guide can be fused, so that the more complete program information is displayed to the user. In some embodiments, the controller performs retrieving the broadcast electronic program guide for the first channel from the broadcast database if the network electronic program guide is detected to be incomplete, and is further configured to: If the network electronic program guide is detected to be incomplete, acquiring a time range of missing program information in the network electronic program guide; a broadcast electronic program guide for a first channel in a time frame is obtained from a broadcast database. The technical scheme has the advantages that compared with the method for acquiring the broadcast electronic program guide of the whole time period, the method
