Abstract
Digital and interactive TV systems will bring hundreds of TV program channels to the people. Then, the use of existing strategies for channel selection will fail: It is neither possible to select the program by surfing through the channels, nor by using printed program guides. This paper describes a new approach towards creation of a Personal Electronic Program Guide (EPG) regarding the individual view preferences of a user. The foundation of individual TV program pre-selection is a classified and categorized TV program description and the maintenance of user profiles describing his viewing preferences. Besides creation of user projiles, an automatic update technique will be introduced. Channel selection events are taken as parameters for an adjustment of user profiles. Personal program pre-selection is done by using intelligent filtering techniques which apply individual user profiles to the TV program description (so-called matching). An approach to design and realize an EPG prototype system will be described in this paper.
