    Abstract: A system is provided in which an interactive television program guide is implemented on user television equipment such as a set-top box. The program guide provides an operator showcase in the form of one or more operator showcase television listings screens, each of which contains a set of television listings information. The sets of television listings information are generated by querying a database of television listings data in a database in the set-top box. Each database query is based on content criteria previously selected by the cable system operator or other service provider. The service provider is also able to define the format with which the television listings information is displayed in the television listings screens. A title and logos may also be selected by the service provider for each screen. The operator showcase television listings screens may therefore by customized and branded by the service provider. The user may access multiple operator showcase television listings screens using a centralized operator showcase menu.

    Abstract translation: 提供了一种系统,其中在诸如机顶盒的用户电视设备上实现交互式电视节目指南。 节目指南以一个或多个运营商展示电视列表屏幕的形式提供运营商展示,每个屏幕包含一组电视列表信息。 通过在机顶盒的数据库中查询电视列表数据的数据库来生成电视列表信息。 每个数据库查询基于先前由有线系统运营商或其他服务提供商选择的内容标准。 服务提供商还能够定义在电视列表屏幕中显示电视列表信息的格式。 服务提供商也可以为每个屏幕选择一个标题和标志。 因此,运营商展示电视列表屏幕可以由服务提供商定制和品牌化。 用户可以使用集中操作员展示菜单访问多个操作员展示电视列表屏幕。
