Abstract
A channel prediction method applied to channel change includes: selecting multiple candidate prediction channels from multiple channels in a channel database, and storing the multiple candidate prediction channels into a prediction database; comparing the multiple candidate prediction channels with a channel selected by a user to generate a comparison result; and selecting multiple prediction channels from the multiple candidate prediction channels in the prediction database according to the comparison result, and storing the multiple prediction channels into a channel buffer.

A channel prediction method applied to channel change, comprising:
- selecting multiple candidate prediction channels from multiple channels in a channel database, and storing the multiple candidate prediction channels into a prediction database;
- comparing the multiple candidate prediction channels with a channel selected by a user to generate a comparison result;
- and
- selecting multiple prediction channels from the multiple candidate prediction channels in the prediction database according to the comparison result, and storing the multiple prediction channels into a channel buffer;
- wherein the channel buffer comprises a pre-prediction channel, a current prediction channel, and a post-prediction channel, and the step of selecting the multiple prediction channels from the multiple candidate prediction channels in the prediction database according to the comparison result, and storing the multiple prediction channels into the channel buffer comprises:
- in response to the comparison result indicating that the channel selected by the user is not one of the multiple prediction channels, utilizing the channel selected by the user, a previous channel of the channel selected by the user, and a next channel of the channel selected by the user to replace the pre-prediction channel, the current prediction channel, and the post-prediction channel in the channel buffer, respectively.
An electronic device applied to channel change, comprising:
- a processor, arranged to:
- select multiple candidate prediction channels from multiple channels in a channel database, and store the multiple candidate prediction channels into a prediction database;
- compare the multiple candidate prediction channels with a channel selected by a user to generate a comparison result;
- and
- select multiple prediction channels from the multiple candidate prediction channels in the prediction database according to the comparison result, and store the multiple prediction channels into a channel buffer;
- wherein the channel buffer comprises a pre-prediction channel, a current prediction channel, and a post-prediction channel, and the processor is further arranged to:
- in response to the comparison result indicating that the channel selected by the user is not one of the multiple prediction channels, utilize the channel selected by the user, a previous channel of the channel selected by the user, and a next channel of the channel selected by the user to replace the pre-prediction channel, the current prediction channel, and the post-prediction channel in the channel buffer, respectively.
