  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiment, and can take various forms as long as they belong to the technical scope of the present invention.

[First Embodiment]
[Overview]
The receiving device 10 (see FIG. 1) of the first embodiment receives a broadcast by HybridCast, outputs audio and video (hereinafter also referred to as broadcast video) via a television screen and a speaker, and related information on the broadcast video. Is output to a television screen or the like.

  HybridCast is a combination of digital television broadcasting and information provision via the Internet, and provides broadcast video such as programs and commercials via digital television broadcasting and also provides related information via the Internet. This related information is not limited to information provided from a server operated by a television station, but also includes information provided from a server operated by a program sponsor or a third party.

  Thereby, for example, related information such as a product introduced in a program or CM can be displayed on a television screen superimposed on a video of the program or CM, or multilingual subtitles can be displayed. Also, for example, the viewer's opinions input to SNS (social networking service) are displayed on the TV screen together with the program, or a VOD (video on demand) program related to the program being viewed is introduced. You can also.

  HybridCast also provides a service linked to the viewer's mobile terminal 20. Specifically, for example, related information such as a program is transmitted from the receiving device 10 to the mobile terminal 20 by wireless communication, and the related information is displayed on the mobile terminal 20 so that the mobile phone 20 For example, the terminal 20 may allow browsing of related information.

[Description of configuration]
The receiving device 10 is configured as, for example, a digital television with a recording / playback function compatible with HybridCast, a PC, and the like, and includes a non-illustrated non-volatile storage unit such as a CPU, ROM, RAM, I / O, and HDD. ing.

  The receiving device 10 includes a broadcast wave receiving unit 11, a recording unit 12, a storage unit 13, a reproducing unit 14, a separating unit 15, a decoder 16, a combining unit 17, a web browser 18, and a communication unit. 19 and the like (see FIG. 1). These components are centrally controlled by a CPU that operates according to a program.

  The broadcast wave receiving unit 11 includes a tuner, a demodulation unit, and the like (not shown). The broadcast wave receiving unit 11 receives a broadcast signal of a digital television broadcast from the broadcast station 30 and selects a broadcast signal of a channel designated by a user operation. Then, demodulation processing is performed on the selected broadcast signal.

  Specifically, for example, the broadcast wave receiving unit 11 performs digital demodulation processing such as PSK (Phase Shift Keying) demodulation and OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) demodulation processing, and obtains a stream of broadcast data from the broadcast signal.

The broadcast data includes broadcast video data for generating broadcast video and URL data indicating the URL of an information providing server that provides related information of the broadcast video.
Then, the broadcast wave receiving unit 11 decodes the stream of the broadcast data, and when displaying the broadcast video included in the broadcast data in real time (when performing real-time display), the broadcast wave receiving unit 11 separates the decoded stream. 15 is output. On the other hand, when performing time shift reproduction (details will be described later) of the broadcast video, the stream is output to the recording unit 12.

  The recording unit 12 is a part for recording the received broadcast video, and stores the broadcast data input from the broadcast wave receiving unit 11 in a storage unit 13 configured as a nonvolatile storage device such as an HDD. .

  The reproduction unit 14 is a part for reproducing the recorded broadcast video, reads the broadcast data stored in the storage unit 13 to generate a stream of broadcast data, and outputs the stream to the separation unit 15. .

  The separation unit 15 separates the broadcast data stream into broadcast video data and URL data, and outputs the broadcast video data to the decoder 16. In addition, the URL data is output to the web browser 18 and transmitted to the portable terminal 20 via the communication unit 19.

  The web browser 18 is application software for browsing various web contents provided on the Internet 50, and is executed by a CPU provided in the receiving device 10.

  The Web browser 18 accesses the information providing server 40 based on the URL data input from the separation unit 15 and acquires Web content. Of course, the access destination is not limited to a single information providing server, but may be a plurality of information providing servers. Then, based on the acquired Web content, an image signal and an audio signal for outputting related information are generated and output to the synthesis unit 17.

The Web content provided from the information providing server 40 is described in, for example, HTML5, JavaScript (registered trademark), BML, or the like.
Note that the user's attribute code (gender, age, unmarried / married, residence area, language, etc.) can be registered in the receiving device 10, and based on the URL data input from the separation unit 15, the program or CM being viewed The related information according to the attribute code may be presented in conjunction with.

  Specifically, for example, the Web browser 18 may access the information providing server 40 based on the URL data and transmit a parameter indicating an attribute code to the information providing server 40. Then, the information providing server 40 may provide the web browser 18 with web content according to the received parameter, and the web browser 18 may present related information according to the attribute code based on the web content. .

  In addition, for example, the Web browser 18 adds a parameter indicating the user's attribute code to the end of the URL indicated by the URL data, and acquires the Web content corresponding to the parameter by accessing the information providing server 40 based on the parameter. May be. Then, related information corresponding to the attribute code may be presented based on the Web content.

  If the Web content cannot be acquired even if the parameter indicating the attribute code is added to the end of the URL and the information providing server 40 is accessed, the information providing server 40 is accessed only by the URL, and the Web content is stored. You may get it.

In addition, for example, data indicating a plurality of access destinations selected according to the attribute code may be provided as the URL data.
As a specific example of such URL data, access is made to data indicating a single URL and a plurality of parameters for accessing a plurality of different locations in the Web content published by the URL, or to access different Web content. For example, data indicating a plurality of URLs may be considered.

  Then, the Web browser 18 selects an access destination based on the registered user attribute code, specifies a parameter or URL corresponding to the access destination, and uses this to specify Web content that matches the user attribute. Access may be made to obtain related information that matches the user's attributes.

  The decoder 16 performs signal processing on the broadcast video data input from the separation unit 15, thereby generating a video signal and an audio signal for displaying the broadcast video, and outputs them to the synthesis unit 17.

  Further, the decoder 16 can detect a break between CMs in a CM time in a broadcast video. As a result, at the time-shift playback described later, it is possible to play back each CM individually or skip each CM based on the break according to the operation received from the user. .

  Specifically, the decoder 16 may detect a break between CMs by detecting a silent portion existing between the CMs. In addition to this, at the stage of creating broadcast data corresponding to HybridCast, CMs may be indexed, and the decoder 16 may detect a break between CMs based on the index.

In addition, since a CM broadcast signal that can provide CM-related information includes a unique identification signal, the CM break may be detected by detecting the identification signal.
Further, when recording a broadcast video, if the video signal and the audio signal obtained by decoding the broadcast video data are encoded again and stored in the storage unit 13, the change in the video / audio feature code data A point may be detected and the detection result may be saved. Then, when the recorded broadcast video is reproduced, the CM break may be detected based on the stored detection result.

  The synthesizing unit 17 synthesizes the video signal and audio signal of the broadcast video input from the decoder 16 and the image signal and audio signal of the related information input from the web browser 18. Then, the synthesized video signal and audio signal are output to a display unit or a speaker (not shown). Thereby, the broadcast video is output via the display unit and the speaker, and the related information of the program and CM is output together with the broadcast video.

  The communication unit 19 is a part that accesses the Internet 50 and performs wireless communication with the mobile terminal 20 by, for example, a wireless LAN based on DLNA guidelines or Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or the like.

  On the other hand, the portable terminal 20 is configured as, for example, a smartphone or a tablet terminal, and includes a non-illustrated nonvolatile storage unit such as a CPU, ROM, RAM, I / O, and HDD. Moreover, the portable terminal 20 is comprised from the communication part 21, the web browser 22, etc., and these components are centrally controlled by CPU which operate | moves according to a program (refer FIG. 1).

The communication unit 21 and the web browser 22 of the portable terminal 20 have the same configuration as the communication unit 19 and the web browser 18 of the receiving device 10.
When receiving the URL data from the receiving device 10, the communication unit 21 outputs the URL data to the Web browser 22. Then, the web browser 22 accesses the information providing server 40 based on the URL data, acquires the web content, and displays the web content on a display unit (not shown).

Thereby, the related information of the broadcast video output by the receiving device 10 is displayed on the display unit of the mobile terminal 20.
[Description of operation]
Next, a program viewing process in which the receiving device 10 receives and displays a broadcast video by HybridCast will be described with reference to flowcharts shown in FIGS. This process is started in response to a user operation received via a remote controller (not shown), and is realized by a CPU or the like that performs overall control of the receiving device 10.

In S100, real-time display of the broadcast video broadcast on the current channel is performed.
Specifically, the broadcast wave receiving unit 11 obtains a broadcast data stream from the received broadcast signal of the current channel, performs a decoding process on the stream, and outputs the stream to the separation unit 15. Then, the broadcast video is displayed in real time based on the broadcast video data included in the broadcast data by the separation unit 15, the decoder 16, the synthesis unit 17, and the like.

  At this time, the web browser 18 accesses the information providing server 40 corresponding to the broadcast video being displayed in real time based on the URL data included in the received broadcast data, and the related information is displayed on the display unit and the portable terminal 20. Is displayed.

The CM screen 200 of FIG. 4 shows an example of an image displayed on the display unit during the real-time display of the CM included in the broadcast video.
The Web browser 18 displays a request button 201 for CM related information and a message 202. At this time, when the user selects the CM related information request button 201 by a remote controller (not shown) or the portable terminal 20 and performs a predetermined operation, more detailed related information (CM related information) is displayed on the display unit. Is displayed.

When displaying the CM related information, the real time display of the broadcast video may be stopped and only the CM related information may be displayed on the display unit.
At this time, the CM related information may be displayed on the display unit while being superimposed on the broadcast video while continuing the real-time display of the broadcast video. In such a case, there is a possibility that the CM related information is displayed on the display unit in parallel with the display of other CMs and programs broadcast after the CM displaying the CM related information.

As the CM related information, for example, it may be possible to provide more detailed information about a commercial product / service.
In addition to this, according to the operation received via the remote control, etc., the long version of the CM (edited to have a longer duration than that normally broadcast), the same product, etc. It is also conceivable that CMs using other materials developed in series, CMs broadcast in the past, infomercials, etc. are reproduced on the display unit.

In subsequent S105, it is determined whether or not viewing of the broadcast video being received is interrupted by displaying the CM related information during the real-time display of the CM.
Note that the case where the viewing of the broadcast video is interrupted may be the case where the real-time display of the broadcast video is stopped due to the display of the CM related information. In addition to this, when the CM related information is displayed on the display unit while being superimposed on the broadcast video while continuing the real-time display, viewing of the broadcast video may be regarded as being interrupted.

  If an affirmative determination is obtained (S105: Yes), the process proceeds to S110, and if a negative determination is obtained (S105: No), the process proceeds to S105 again.

In S110, after the recording of the broadcast video being received is started, the process proceeds to S115.
Specifically, the broadcast wave receiving unit 11 changes the output destination of the stream of broadcast data subjected to the decoding process from the separating unit 15 to the recording unit 12, and the recording unit 12 stores the input broadcast data in the storage unit 13 is stored.

  In S115, it is determined whether or not the display of the CM related information is ended by an operation received via the remote controller or the like. If an affirmative determination is obtained (S115: Yes), the process proceeds to S120, and if a negative determination is obtained (S115: No), the process proceeds to S115 again.

  In S120, the CM displaying the CM related information is skipped, and the time-shifted reproduction of the broadcast video being recorded is started from the CM next to the CM or the program portion starting from the CM. Note that the recording of the broadcast video is continued even after the start of the time shift reproduction.

Specifically, the playback unit 14 reads the broadcast data stored in the storage unit 13, generates a stream of broadcast data, and outputs the stream to the separation unit 15.
On the other hand, the separation unit 15 analyzes the broadcast data input from the reproduction unit 14, specifies broadcast video data for reproducing the CM displaying the CM related information, and the broadcast video data and corresponding URL data. Are excluded from the stream of broadcast data.

  Then, the broadcast data stream from which these are excluded is separated into broadcast video data and URL data, and the broadcast video data is output to the decoder 16. In addition, the URL data is output to the web browser 18 and transmitted to the portable terminal 20 via the communication unit 19.

  If the related information of a certain CM within the CM time is displayed, all of the CM and other CMs broadcast in sequence after the CM are skipped, and time-shifted playback of the video recorded from the program part is started. May be.

  Also, each broadcast program and broadcast history data of each CM is distributed from the information providing server 40 or the broadcasting station 30 to the receiving device 10, and the user attributes registered in the receiving device 10 (for example, age, Sex, unmarried and married, residence area, language, etc.) may be determined.

  In addition, the separation unit 15 matches the user's attributes and preferences from among the CMs broadcast sequentially after the CM displaying the CM related information based on the CM program included in the recorded broadcast video and the user's attributes. The CM to be performed may be specified.

  Then, the separation unit 15 selects and reproduces only the CM displaying the CM related information and the CM that matches the user attribute and preference following the CM, and skips all the non-matching CMs or starts from the program part. The time-shifted reproduction of the recorded broadcast video may be started.

  Furthermore, when performing time-shift playback, even if a CM that does not match the user's preference is specified among the CMs included in the broadcast video based on the broadcast history data of the CM included in the recorded broadcast video and the user's attributes. good. Then, all CMs that do not match the user's preference may be skipped and time shift playback may be performed.

  It is also conceivable to specify a CM that matches the user's preference as follows. That is, during real-time display of broadcast video, the receiving device 10 has (1) viewed CM related information, (2) viewed the CM to the end, and (3) in the middle of the CM. It may be determined whether or not the channel has been switched (zapped) or the like, and the determination result may be stored as data. Then, the user's preference may be determined based on the data.

  Specifically, for example, the frequency corresponding to the above (1) to (3) is specified for each displayed CM, and CMs with a high frequency corresponding to (1) and (2) are matched with user preference. It may be determined as a CM to be performed.

  In addition, specify the metadata (such as the names and fields of products and services related to the CM, the company name, and the talents that appear in the CM) about the CM that frequently corresponds to (1) and (2). Also good. Then, when performing time-shift playback of the CM, the metadata of the CM is acquired, and the CM that is common in whole or in part with the metadata of the CM that frequently corresponds to (1) and (2) is obtained. You may consider that it matches your taste.

  Note that the user's preference determination is preferably performed on, for example, a CM broadcast in the last few months. As a result, it is possible to determine a CM that matches the user's preference in a state in which changes in the user's hobbies and preferences are reflected.

  Also, during time shift playback, fast-forwarding of broadcast video, CM skipping, and the like are performed in accordance with an operation received via a remote controller or the like. Therefore, each time the display of the CM ends, the receiving device 10 determines which of the above (1) to (3) the CM corresponds to, stores the determination result as a CM viewing history, and The viewing history may be transmitted to an advertisement management server (not shown) on the Internet 50.

  In this way, the advertisement management server grasps whether or not the broadcasted CM has been viewed and whether or not the CM related information of the broadcasted CM has been browsed, and based on this, the CM advertiser can Fees paid to commercial production companies, etc. can be set.

  Specifically, for example, every time a CM is viewed to the end (in other words, every time it is determined that the CM falls under (2)), the CM's advertiser sends a predetermined message to the CM's production company, etc. You may pay the fee.

  Further, for example, every time CM related information is browsed (in other words, every time it is determined that the CM falls under (1)), a predetermined fee is charged from the CM advertiser to the CM production company or the like. You may pay.

  This makes it possible to reproduce only CMs that are easy for the user to be interested in, eliminate the troublesomeness caused by reproducing unnecessary CMs, and enhance the advertising effect of CMs.

Note that during time shift reproduction, fast-forwarding of broadcast video, CM skipping, and the like are performed according to an operation received via a remote controller or the like.
Therefore, in the following S125, whether or not the content of the broadcast video that has been time-shifted has caught up with the content of the broadcast video that is being received by performing fast-forwarding or the like during the time-shift playback (in other words, the program broadcast) Before the end, it is determined whether or not the time-shifted reproduction of the recorded broadcast video has ended. When an affirmative determination is obtained (S125: Yes), the process proceeds to S130, and when a negative determination is obtained (S125: No), the process proceeds to S135.

  In S130, the recording of the broadcast video is terminated, and the process proceeds to S100. Specifically, the broadcast wave receiving unit 11 changes the output destination of the broadcast data stream from the recording unit 12 to the separation unit 15. Thereby, the real-time display of the broadcast video being received is resumed.

  On the other hand, in S135 (see FIG. 3), it is determined whether or not broadcasting of the program being recorded has ended. Specifically, the recording unit 12 may analyze the broadcast data input from the broadcast wave receiving unit 11 and determine whether or not the program being recorded has ended. Further, the end time of the program is specified based on the electronic program guide data distributed from the broadcast station 30 or the information providing server 40, and the end of the program is determined based on whether or not the current time is the end time. good.

If an affirmative determination is obtained (S135: Yes), the process proceeds to S140, and if a negative determination is obtained (S135: No), the process proceeds to S145.
In S140, the recording of the program ends, and the process proceeds to S145. Specifically, the recording unit 12 ends the storage of broadcast data in the storage unit 13. At this time, the time shift reproduction is continued.

  In S145, it is determined whether or not an operation for changing a channel has been performed via a remote controller or the like. If an affirmative determination is obtained (S145: Yes), the process proceeds to S150, and if a negative determination is obtained (S145: No), the process proceeds to S160.

  In S150, the time-shifted reproduction is finished and real-time display of the broadcast video broadcast on the newly selected channel is started. Specifically, the reproduction unit 14 ends the output of the broadcast data stream read from the storage unit 13 to the separation unit 15.

  In subsequent S155, the recording of the broadcast video is terminated, and the process proceeds to S100. Specifically, the recording unit 12 ends the storage of the broadcast data input from the broadcast wave receiving unit 11 in the storage unit 13. Also, the broadcast wave receiving unit 11 starts to generate a stream of broadcast data from a broadcast signal of a newly selected channel, and thereafter, broadcast video broadcast on the channel is displayed in real time.

  In addition, when the channel is changed, an inquiry is made as to whether or not to finish recording the broadcast video via the display unit, and the recording is performed only when an operation for ending the recording is accepted via the remote controller or the like. It is good also as a structure which complete | finishes.

  On the other hand, in S160, as in S105, during CM time-shift playback, it is determined whether viewing of the broadcast video being received has been interrupted by displaying CM-related information. If an affirmative determination is obtained (S160: Yes), the process proceeds to S165, and if a negative determination is obtained (S160: No), the process proceeds to S170.

In S165, the time shift reproduction of the broadcast video by the reproduction unit 14 is stopped, and the process proceeds to S170.
In S170, it is determined whether or not the display of the CM related information is ended by an operation received via the remote controller or the like. When an affirmative determination is obtained (S170: Yes), the process proceeds to S175, and when a negative determination is obtained (S170: No), the process proceeds to S125 again.

  In S175, similarly to S120, the CM displaying the CM related information is skipped, and the time-shifted reproduction of the recorded broadcast video is started from the CM next to the CM or the program portion starting from the CM. Is done.

  Of course, as in S120, all CMs may be skipped, and time-shifted playback of the recorded video from the program part may be started, or recording may be started from a CM or program part that matches the user's attributes. You may start the time shift reproduction of a broadcast image.

[Second Embodiment]
[Description of configuration]
Next, the receiving apparatus 60 of 2nd Embodiment is demonstrated (refer FIG. 5).

The receiving device 60 performs streaming distribution of broadcast data broadcast by HybridCast from the distribution server 70 by VOD (Video On Demand).
Then, the receiving device 60 distributes video (hereinafter also referred to as distribution video) based on the broadcast-distributed broadcast data in the same manner as the receiving device 10 of the first embodiment that supports broadcasting by HybridCast.
