Abstract
A method for displaying near video on demand (NVOD) content on a set-top box (STB) includes determining whether the processor is idle, and connecting to a video server for storing NVOD data, if the processor is determined to be idle. If a NVOD request is received from a user, the NVOD data is parsed according to the NVOD request and displayed via a NOVD interface.

A method for displaying near video on demand (NVOD) content on a set-top box (STB), the STB comprising a determination module, a storage module, a receiving module, a parsing module, an interface module, and a processor, the method comprising:
- the determination module determining whether the processor is idle;
- the storage module connecting to a video server for storing NVOD data if the processor is idle, wherein the NVOD data comprises a NVOD event and a NVOD time;
- the receiving module receiving a NVOD request from a user;
- the parsing module parsing the NVOD data according to the NVOD request, and outputting parsed NVOD content;
- and
- the interface module launching a NOVD interface, and displaying the parsed NVOD content onto a display.
A set-top box (STB), connected to a video server, for displaying near video on demand (NVOD) content, the STB comprising:
- a processor operable to control and process tasks on the STB;
- a determination module operable to determine whether the processor is idle;
- and
- a storage module connecting to the video server if the processor is determined to be idle, operable to store NVOD data, wherein the NVOD data comprises a NVOD event and a NVOD time;
- a receiving module operable to receive a NVOD request and a quit request;
- a parsing module operable to parse the NVOD data according to the NVOD request, and output parsed NVOD content;
- and
- an interface module connecting to the parsing module, and operable to launch a NVOD interface and display the parsed NVOD content onto a display.
