For this reason, if the user is interested when the program banner advertisement 351 is displayed for a program that the user is interested in, but the user has not recognized the existence, Make a reservation. Therefore, it is possible to greatly reduce the trouble of searching for a reservation target program from a program guide or the like.

  Next, FIG. 8 and FIG. 9 are used for the operation flow and the display screen corresponding to the operation as the second embodiment for reserving the broadcast program to be advertised by the operation by the operation unit 25 on the program banner advertisement display unit 350. I will explain. In FIGS. 8 and 9, the description of the parts common to FIGS. 6 and 7 is omitted.

  In FIG. 8, when it is determined that the program banner advertisement display unit 350 has been operated by the operation unit 25 (step S1: Yes), the control unit 10 displays the display unit 31 in FIG. 9A. Thus, the pop-up menu 355 is displayed in the vicinity of the program banner advertisement display unit 350 (step S11).

  In step S11, the control unit 10 determines whether or not the reservation selection unit 358 has been operated by the operation of the operation unit 25 (step S12). When it is determined in step S12 that the reservation selection unit 358 has been operated (step S12: Yes), program reservation information associated with the operated program banner advertisement 351 is acquired (step S2), and FIG. A program reservation screen as shown in b) is displayed (step S3). When it is determined in step S12 that the reservation selection unit 358 is not operated (step S12: No), the control unit 10 determines whether or not the decision selection unit 357 is operated by the operation of the operation unit 25 (step S12). S13).

  If it is determined in step S13 that the determination operation unit 357 has been operated (step S13: Yes), the linked Web content is displayed on the main content display unit 330 based on the link information included in the program banner advertisement 351, or otherwise. A screen is displayed on the display unit 31 (step S14). When the linked Web content is displayed on the display unit 31 in step S14, the process ends. If it is determined in step S13 that the determination operation unit 357 has not been operated (step S13: No), the control unit 10 determines whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed (step S15).

  If it is determined in step S15 that the predetermined time has not elapsed (step S15: No), the process proceeds to step S12, and it is determined whether or not the reservation selection unit 358 has been operated again (step S12). When it is determined in step S15 that the predetermined time has elapsed (step S15: Yes), the pop-up menu 355 is deleted (step S16), and the process returns to S1 to determine whether the program banner advertisement display unit 350 has been operated again. (Step S1).

  By such processing, the user can arbitrarily select whether to display the linked Web content or to reserve the program by the operation of the operation unit 25 on the program banner advertisement display unit 350, and easily Broadcast programs can be reserved.

  The embodiment of the present invention can be variously modified without departing from the gist thereof. For example, as an example of program reservation, an example of program reservation recording has been described, but program reservation display may be used. In the case of the program reservation display, when the program start time comes based on the program reservation information, the control unit 10 controls the broadcast receiving unit 21 to receive the broadcast channel of the reserved program. Further, when the power supply unit (not shown) of the broadcast program reservation apparatus 100 is in the standby mode, the reception is received from the communication unit 23 based on the broadcast received by the broadcast reception unit 21 or the reception at the broadcast reception unit 21 by canceling the standby mode. The IP distribution program to be displayed may be displayed on the display unit 31.

  Furthermore, when the main content 331 is a simulcast that is received by the communication unit 23 via the network 400 with respect to the radio broadcast received by the broadcast receiving unit 21, the program reserved by the present invention is transmitted via the network 400. In addition to outputting and recording audio data, the image data and video data distributed at the same time may be displayed or recorded.

  The program banner advertisement 351 may be received by being added to the broadcast data of the simulcast received by the communication unit 23 and displayed by listening to the simulcast.

  Further, in the second embodiment, the program banner advertisement display unit 350 is operated by the operation unit 25, and selection and reservation are selected by the pop-up menu 355. However, the program banner advertisement display unit 350 is operated by the operation unit 25. In the selected state, the same operation may be performed when the user operates the determination operation button or the reservation button of the operation unit 25.
