Method and apparatus for program information exchange and communications system using a program comment instruction

An apparatus for program information exchange, comprising:

• a memory comprising a pre-established database:
• a processor coupled to the memory;
• a receiver coupled to the processor and configured to obtain a program comment instruction, wherein the processor is configured to:
• extract information about a current program from the pre-established database according to the program comment instruction;
• and
• determine whether the information about the current program comprises a program comment address, wherein the program comment address is an address for a comment community associated with the current program;
• and
• a transmitter coupled to the processor and configured to:
• send the program comment address to a user equipment when the information comprises the program comment address, wherein the user equipment uses the program comment address to access comments made by others in the comment community and to add a comment to the comment community;
• and
• send a server address to the user equipment when the information does not comprise the program comment address, wherein a server associated with the server address generates the comment community and the program comment address for the comment community when the information does not comprise the program comment address, wherein the server stores the program comment address in the pre-established database after generating the comment community, and wherein the user equipment receives the program comment address from the server after the server generates the comment community.

A communications system, comprising:

• an apparatus for program information exchange comprising:
• a processor configured to extract information about a current program from a pre-established database according to a program comment instruction after obtaining the program comment instruction;
• and
• a transmitter coupled to the processor and configured to:
• send a program comment address to a user equipment when the information comprises the program comment address, wherein the program comment address is an address for a comment community associated with the current program,
• send a server address to the user equipment when the information does not comprise the program comment address, wherein a server associated with the server address generates the comment community and the program comment address for the comment community when the information does not comprise the program comment address, wherein the server stores the program comment address in the pre-established database after generating the comment community, and wherein the user equipment receives the program comment address from the server after the server generates the comment community,
• wherein the user equipment comprises a receiver configured to receive at least one of the program comment address and the server address from the apparatus for program information exchange, wherein the user equipment uses the program comment address to access comments made by others in the comment community and to add a comment to the comment community, wherein the user equipment uses the server address to establish a connection between the user equipment and the server associated with the server address;
• wherein the server comprises a processor configured to generate the comment community and the program comment address for the comment community when the information does not comprise the program comment address, wherein the server stores the program comment address in the pre-established database after generating the comment community.
