Since at least personal information such as name, address, age, and gender is stored in this resident card, it is possible to use it by providing a correspondence table between these pieces of information and information limiting viewers. Further, since it is not necessary for the broadcast distribution side to prepare a special medium as a storage medium, it is easy to widely disseminate the viewer-limited system of the present invention. In addition, the local government participates in broadcast distribution of broadcast programs, and the attribute information added to the program is set by the local government, so that the information transmitted by the local government and the information transmitted by local residents or business owners are broadcasted on television. It becomes possible. This makes it possible to limit the target audience for business owners who do not need to advertise to a wide area, or who want to advertise in a specific area or age group, and that can be used for efficient advertising activities. Or public relations activities can be performed. In addition, it is possible to provide information on publicity magazines issued by local governments and local government homepages with a limited number of people, enabling detailed and effective residents services. However, the storage medium is not limited to a resident card, and may be any medium that can store viewer information.

  In this embodiment, when a resident watches a broadcast program, the resident card is inserted into the resident card reading / writing device 43, the broadcast program stored in the received program table 4121 is read, and the attributes are matched. However, when the resident watches the broadcast program in real time, after the broadcast reception program 4111 of the receiving device 41 receives the broadcast program, the information is read and verified from the resident card. If the attributes match, the broadcast program may be output to the display device 42 without being stored in the received program table 4121. Moreover, you may make it the structure which can select either method.

  Further, when the resident card reading / writing device 43 cannot detect the resident card, the program may be stored unconditionally by performing an initial setting for omitting the verification process. Further, the program may be unconditionally refused to be saved. Further, it may be configured to be able to select whether or not to save a program.
