Abstract
A method for parsing EIT parsing and providing program specific information of broadcasting programs at a rapid speed. The method includes the steps of: extracting the EITs from a program specific information signal sequence in a transport stream packet transmitted from a broadcasting station; parsing each the EIT in a prescribed priority order in the EITs; and displaying the parsed EIT on a TV screen. The method for parsing EIT according to the present invention can provide the information on the broadcasting program on the time period when an audience rating is highest to a viewer at a more rapid speed than the conventional EIT parsing method.

A method for parsing event information tables (EITs), comprising the steps of:
- extracting the EITs from a program specific information signal sequence in a transport stream packet transmitted from a broadcasting station;
- parsing each EIT in a prescribed priority order, wherein the prescribed priority order is determined by:
- extracting a prime EIT corresponding to a time period when an audience rating is highest among the EITs received sequentially;
- and
- sorting the prime EITs in the order of date;
- and
- displaying the parsed EIT on a TV screen.
A method for parsing event information tables (EITs), comprising the steps of:
- extracting the EITs from a program specific information signal sequence in a transport stream packet transmitted from a broadcasting station;
- parsing each EIT in a prescribed priority order, wherein the prescribed priority order is determined by:
- extracting a favorite EIT, corresponding to a favorite time period arbitrarily set by a viewer, among the EITs received sequentially;
- and
- sorting the favorite EITs in the order of date;
- and
- displaying the parsed EIT on a TV screen.
A method for parsing event information tables (EITs), comprising the steps of:
- extracting the EITs from a program specific information signal sequence in a transport stream packet transmitted from a broadcasting station;
- parsing each EIT in a prescribed priority order, wherein the prescribed priority order is determined by:
- extracting a favorite channel EIT, corresponding to a favorite broadcasting channel of a viewer, among the EITs received sequentially;
- and
- sorting the favorite channel EITs;
- and
- displaying the parsed EIT on a TV screen.
A method for parsing event information tables(EITs), comprising the steps of:
- extracting the EITs from a program specific information signal sequence in a transport stream packet transmitted from a broadcasting station;
- parsing each EIT in a prescribed priority order by:
- detecting a top priority EIT;
- parsing the detected top priority EIT;
- storing the parsed top priority EIT;
- determining whether all of the EITs are parsed;
- and
- if not parsed, repeating the above steps excepting the stored EIT;
- and
- displaying the parsed EIT on a TV screen.
A method for parsing event information tables (EITs), comprising the steps of:
- extracting the EITs from a program specific information signal sequence in a transport stream packet transmitted from a broadcasting station;
- parsing each EIT in a prescribed priority order;
- displaying the parsed EIT on a TV screen;
- and
- displaying a predetermined message on a portion of the TV screen where a yet-to-be parsed EIT will be displayed, wherein the predetermined message indicates that an EIT has not yet been processed.
