Abstract

The development of various digital broadcasting services and the rapid growth of broadband network infrastructure have accelerated the convergence of broadcasting and communication services. To show the potentiality of hybrid or convergence technologies, we designed and implemented a hybrid Electronic Program Guide (EPG) agent system for digital broadcasting systems, which provides comprehensive information from broadcast and web information sources. The implemented hybrid EPG agent system can provide detailed information for a specific program by combining broadcast information and web information retrieved from the scattered web pages. The methods of searching the URLs that contain the related information for a specific TV program and retrieving the related information from the selected web pages are proposed.
