Elektroniske programguider (EPG’er) var tænkt som en vigtig del af digital-tv, men de løsninger, mange ser i dag, hjælper ikke nok. De fleste zapper stadig for at vælge og skifte program. Denne afhandling præsenterer en prototype, der bruger internettjenester og anbefalingsteknikker til at gøre tv-oplevelsen mere personlig og nemmere. Hovedfokus er en personlig, interaktiv EPG med en enkel og indbydende brugerflade, der kan foreslå programmer ud fra seerens interesser. For at fastlægge kravene gennemgås den nyeste praksis inden for anbefalings- og profileringssystemer (software, der lærer brugerens præferencer), og der anvendes brugercentrerede designprincipper.

Electronic Program Guides (EPGs) were intended to be a key feature of digital TV, but many of today’s guides are not very helpful. Most people still channel-surf to choose and change programs. This thesis presents a prototype that uses internet-based services and recommendation techniques to make TV viewing more personal and easier. The main outcome is a personalized, interactive EPG with a simple, appealing interface that can suggest programs based on the viewer’s interests. To define the requirements, the work reviews state-of-the-art recommender and profiling systems (software that learns user preferences) and applies user-centered design principles.
