Method and system for integrating smart tv program channels with applications

A method for achieving integration of smart TV program channels with applications, the method comprising:

• performing normalization processing on TV program channel information data, maintaining a data structure for each TV program channel, and obtaining a program table with program table items being representative of information of multiple TV program channels;
• performing normalization processing on application information data, maintaining a data structure for each application, and obtaining an application table with application table items being representative of information of multiple applications;
• mixing and arranging the program table items and the application table items to obtain a mixed table;
• and
• upon receiving a control command, searching for an item corresponding to said control command in said mixed table and displaying the corresponding content;
• wherein rules of mixing and arranging grogram table items and application table items includes:
• the program table items are arranged in front of the application table items;
• the application table items are arranged in the front of the program table items;
• the program table items and the application table items are arranged randomly in a mixed manner;
• according to an actual use frequency of users, items with high actual use frequency are arranged in a front position;
• an arrangement in an order or a reverse order of a time sequence that TV program channels and applications appear, or an order of items in the mixed table is adjusted by a control program at a remote service backend.

A system for achieving integration of smart TV program channels with applications, comprising:

• a program table creation module for performing normalization processing on TV program channel information data, maintaining a data structure for each TV program channel, and obtaining a program table with program table items being representative of information of multiple TV program channels;
• an application table creation module for performing normalization processing on application information data, maintaining a data structure for each application, and obtaining an application table with application table items being representative of information of multiple applications;
• a mixed table creation module for mixing and arranging the program table items and the application table items to obtain a mixed table;
• a display module for, upon receiving a control command, searching for an item corresponding to said control command in said mixed table and displaying corresponding content.
