Abstract:
An EPG data processing device (D), for an electronic equipment (EE), comprises a processing means (PM) arranged i) to access to sets of data defining respectively channel programs and each comprising at least first data representative of a channel name and a channel program name, second data defining a channel program starting time, and third data representative of a channel program ending time, ii) either to determine amongst the accessed data sets which respectively follow each data set contributing to a displayed page of data the one which comprises the earliest ending time, in order to define a time reference just before this earliest ending time and associate this time reference to a following page of data to be displayed, or to determine amongst the accessed data sets which respectively precede each data set contributing to a displayed page of data the one which comprises the latest starting time, in order to define a time reference just after this latest ending time and associate this time reference to a preceding page of data to be displayed, iii) then to select amongst the accessed data sets each data set comprising second and third data defining a time interval including the defined time reference, and iv) finally to deliver these selected data sets in order they could be respectively displayed on different dedicated lines of a page associated to the determined time reference.
