Abstract: An approach to providing EPG information segments the EPG information into a plurality of segmented EPGs, i.e., subsets of the EPG information. The EPG information for all channels may be segmented into EPGs for separate local channels, i.e., channels received by client devices within a particular geographical region or broadcast area, and a “home” or universal EPG. Alternatively or additionally, the EPG information for all channels may be segmented into EPGs, for example, based on channel content or category.

Abstract translation: 提供EPG信息的方法将EPG信息划分成多个分段EPG，即EPG信息的子集。 所有信道的EPG信息可以被分割成用于单独的本地信道的EPG，即由特定地理区域或广播区域内的客户端设备接收的信道，以及“家庭”或通用EPG。 或者或另外，所有信道的EPG信息可以例如基于信道内容或类别被分割成EPG。
