METHOD FOR RE-DETERMINING THE NUMBERING OF RADIO-TELEVISION PROGRAMS, AND APPARATUS THEREOF

摘要

A method is described for re-determining, in a television apparatus, a program table including associations between alphanumeric labels and radio-television programs, each one of the alphanumeric labels indicating a string of characters that must be selected by the user in order to activate the reproduction of one of the radio-television programs associated therewith, the method including the steps of biunivocally associating with each radio-television program in the table an alphanumeric label comprising a numeric part; allowing at least a first list and a second list to be simultaneously displayed on a screen, both including identification data of the radio-television programs obtained from the program table, the radio-television programs being sorted in the lists according to sorting criteria; selecting a first program from the first list of programs sorted according to a first sorting criterion, the first program being associated with a first alphanumeric label; selecting a second program from the second list of programs sorted according to a second sorting criterion, the second program being associated with a second alphanumeric label; and modifying the value of the first alphanumeric label of the first program with an alphanumeric label value comprised in the range delimited by the value of the second alphanumeric label, extreme included, and by the value of the alphanumeric label, extreme excluded, which immediately precedes the second alphanumeric label in the second list.

1. A method for re-determining, in a television apparatus, a program table (20) comprising associations between alphanumeric labels and radio-television programs, each one of said alphanumeric labels indicating a string of characters that must be selected by the user in order to activate the reproduction of one of said radio-television programs associated therewith, said method comprising the steps of:
biunivocally associating with each radio-television program in said table an alphanumeric label comprising a numeric part; allowing at least a first list and a second list to be simultaneously displayed on a screen, both comprising identification data of said radio-television programs obtained from said table, said radio-television programs being sorted in said lists according to sorting criteria; selecting a first program from said first list of programs sorted according to a first sorting criterion, said first program being associated with a first alphanumeric label; selecting a second program from said second list of programs sorted according to a second sorting criterion, said second program being associated with a second alphanumeric label; modifying the value of said first alphanumeric label of said first program with an alphanumeric label value comprised in the range delimited by the value of said second alphanumeric label, extreme included, and by the value of that alphanumeric label, extreme excluded, which immediately precedes said second alphanumeric label in said second list.
