Abstract
A device providing an automatic channel changing function includes: a receiving unit, receiving recommended program data, first user data and second user data from a first AV playing device; a storage unit, storing reference data; a look-up unit, generating channel changing data according to the recommended program data, the first user data, the second user data and the reference data; and a transmitting unit, transmitting the channel changing data to a second AV playing device according to the second user data.
Claims10
An automatic channel changing auxiliary device, comprising:
- a receiving unit, receiving recommended program data, first user data and second user data from a first AV playing device when requested by the first AV playing device, wherein the recommended program data is of a program the first AV playing device suggests to a second AV playing device;
- a storage unit, storing reference data;
- a look-up unit, generating channel changing data according to the recommended program data, the first user data, the second user data and the reference data, wherein the first user data and the second user data correspond respectively to different users, and the channel changing data is of a program a first user suggests to a second user;
- and
- a transmitting unit, transmitting the channel changing data to the second AV playing device according to the second user data.
An automatic channel changing method, applied to an automatic channel changing auxiliary device comprising a receiving unit, a look-up unit, a storage unit and a transmitting unit, the storage unit storing reference data;
- the automatic channel changing method comprising:
- receiving, by the receiving unit, recommended program data, first user data and second user data from a first AV playing device when requested by the first AV playing device, wherein the recommended program data is of a program the first AV playing device suggests to a second AV playing device;
- generating channel changing data according to the recommended program data, the first user data, the second user data and the reference data by the look-up unit, wherein the first user data and the second user data correspond respectively to different users, and the channel changing data is of a program a first user suggests to a second user;
- and
- transmitting the channel changing data to the second AV playing device according to the second user data by the transmitting unit.
