A METHOD AND DEVICE OF SERVICE GUIDE OBTAINING.

摘要

A method and apparatus for acquiring service guides (SGs) are provided. The method includes: sending an SG request that carries information about a current area; and receiving an SG corresponding to the current area. In the embodiments of the present invention, the SG corresponding to the current area of the mobile terminal is differentiated in the SG server, and the SG request sent by the mobile terminal to the SG server carries the information about the current area where the mobile terminal resides. Therefore, the mobile terminal may directly receive the SG delivered by the SG server and corresponding to the current area, thus saving network transmission bandwidth massively. Moreover, the mobile terminal does not need to filter the SG fragments. Thus the mobile terminal is simplified, and the service is easier to promote and apply.
