  The recording deletion unit 125 refers to the user data 119 in the storage unit 109 to determine whether or not the user with the user ID specified in step S151 is an administrator (step S152). Specifically, the recording deletion unit 125 makes a determination based on the authority information associated with the user ID in the user data 119.

  When it is determined that the user is not an administrator (step S152; NO), the recording deletion unit 125 acquires, from the storage unit 109, the recording data 121 to be deleted according to the instruction content of the data acquired from the operator specifying unit 114. The recording deletion unit 125 deletes the same recorder ID as the user ID specified in step S151 from the acquired recording data 121 (step S153).

  The recording deletion unit 125 determines whether or not the recording person ID is included in the recording data 121 to be deleted (step S154). When it is determined that the recorder ID is included (step S154; YES), the recording deletion unit 125 ends the recording deletion process.

  When it is determined that the recorder ID is not included (step S154; NO), the recording deletion unit 125 deletes the recording data 121 to be deleted from the storage unit 109 (step S155), and ends the recording deletion process.

  When it is determined that the user is an administrator (step S152; YES), the recording deletion unit 125 executes the deletion process by a deletion method according to the instruction content of the data acquired from the operator specifying unit 114 (step S156).

  Specifically, when the user is an administrator, the deletion method can be selected by operating the information communication terminal 103 as described above. Since the selected deletion method is included in the instruction content, the recording deletion unit 125 executes the deletion process by a deletion method according to the instruction content. Thereby, the recording deletion part 125 complete | finishes a recording deletion process.

  In the recording reservation data 120, when a plurality of reservation person IDs are associated with one program, the recording reservation may be deleted by the same process as the recording deletion process described here. In the recording reservation deleting process for deleting the recording reservation, for example, the recording reservation deleting unit 123 may execute the process corresponding to the process executed by the recording deleting unit 125 in the recording deleting process for the recording reservation data 120. .

  When the instruction receiving unit 113 receives instruction data including reproduction of a specific recorded program as instruction contents, the instruction receiving unit 113 executes the reproduction process shown in FIG. The reproduction process is a process of reproducing a specific recorded program in accordance with a user instruction.

  The operator specifying unit 114 specifies the user ID associated with the terminal ID included in the instruction data received by the instruction receiving unit 113 in the user data 119 of the storage unit 109 (step S161). The operator specifying unit 114 outputs data including the instruction content included in the instruction data received by the instruction receiving unit 113 and the specified user ID to the reproduction unit 126.

  The playback unit 126 acquires the recording data 121 to be played back specified by the data instruction content acquired from the operator specifying unit 114 from the storage unit 109, and the video and audio of the video / audio data included in the recording data 121. Is reproduced (step S162).

  The reproducing unit 126 determines whether or not to interrupt the reproduction according to whether or not the instruction data for interrupting the reproduction is received by the instruction receiving unit 113 (step S163). Note that when the instruction receiving unit 113 receives instruction data including interruption as a content of instruction, the reproducing unit 126 acquires data including the instruction content included in the instruction data from the operator specifying unit 114.

  If it is determined not to be interrupted (step S163; NO), the reproduction unit 126 determines whether or not the reproduction has been performed to the end (step S164). When it is determined that the playback has not been completed to the end (step S164; NO), the playback unit 126 continues the playback process of step S162.

  When it is determined to interrupt (step S163; YES), the reproducing unit 126 interrupts the reproduction. Then, the interruption position recording unit 128 specifies the position where the reproduction is interrupted, and the interruption position information indicating the interruption position is associated with the same recorder ID as the user ID specified in step S161. And the recorded data 121 in the storage unit 109 is updated (step S165).

  The reproduction flag setting unit 127 reproduces “completed” to the same recorder ID as the user ID specified in step S161 when the reproduction flag indicating “reproduction” is “not yet” after step S164 or step S165. The recording data 121 in the storage unit 109 is updated by associating a flag with the recording data 121 (step S166). Thereby, the reproduction unit 126 ends the reproduction process.

  When the instruction receiving unit 113 receives instruction data including display of program information that has been reserved for recording as instruction contents, the instruction receiving unit 113 executes a reservation display process illustrated in FIG. The reservation display process is a process for causing the television 101 to display program information for which recording has been reserved.

  The operator specifying unit 114 specifies the user ID associated with the terminal ID included in the instruction data received by the instruction receiving unit 113 in the user data 119 of the storage unit 109 (step S171). The operator specifying unit 114 outputs data including the instruction content included in the instruction data received by the instruction receiving unit 113 and the specified user ID to the reservation display unit 130.

  The reservation display unit 130 refers to the user data 119 in the storage unit 109 to determine whether or not the user with the user ID specified in step S171 is an administrator (step S172). Specifically, the reservation display unit 130 makes a determination based on the authority information associated with the user ID in the user data 119.

  When it is determined that the user is not an administrator (step S172; NO), the reservation display unit 130 extracts the recording reservation data 120 including the user ID specified in step S171 as the reservation person ID from the storage unit 109 (step S173). .

  The reservation display unit 130 is the recording reservation data 120 of the storage unit 109 that has not been extracted in step S173, and the recording reservation data 120 includes a user ID other than the user ID specified in step S171 as the reservation person ID. Among them, the disclosure permission information indicating that permission is extracted is extracted from the storage unit 109 (step S174).

  The reservation display unit 130 creates reservation display data for displaying the program information of the recording reservation data 120 extracted in step S173 and step S174 on the television 101 (step S175). It should be noted that either one of steps S173 and S174 may be omitted according to the reservation display designation method.

  The reservation display unit 130 outputs the reservation display data created in step S175 to the television 101 (step S176). As a result, the program information of the recording reservation data 120 extracted in step S173 and step S174 is displayed on the television 101.

  If it is determined that the user is an administrator (step S172; YES), the reservation display unit 130 extracts the recording reservation data 120 by a display method according to the instruction content of the data acquired from the operator specifying unit 114 (step S177). .

  Specifically, when the user is an administrator, the display method can be selected by operating the information communication terminal 103 as in the above-described deletion method. Since the selected display method is included in the instruction content, the reservation display unit 130 extracts the recording reservation data 120 by a display method according to the instruction content.

  As a recording reservation display method, for example, only recording reservation data 120 including the administrator's user ID as the reservation user ID is extracted and the program information is displayed, and the user IS of a specific user other than the administrator is set as the reservation person. This includes extracting recording reservation data 120 included as an ID and displaying the program information. Further, the administrator may be able to extract the recording reservation data 120 relating to the recording reservation of another user and display the program information regardless of the contents of the disclosure permission / denial information. In this case, as a recording reservation display method, the recording reservation data 120 to be extracted may be selected according to the content of the disclosure permission / denial information.

  The reservation display unit 130 creates reservation display data for displaying the program information of the recording reservation data 120 extracted in step S177 on the television 101 (step S178).

  The reservation display unit 130 outputs the reservation display data created in step S178 to the television 101 (step S179). Thereby, the program information of the recording reservation data 120 extracted in step S177 is displayed on the television 101. Thereby, the reservation display unit 130 ends the reservation display process.

  In the recorded data 121, when a plurality of recorder IDs are associated with one program, the recording display process may be executed by the same process as the reservation display process described here. Here, the recording display process is a process for displaying the recorded program information on the television 101 by the recording display unit 129. For example, the instruction receiving unit 113 uses the display of the recorded program information as an instruction content. It may be initiated by receiving instruction data including. In the recording display process, for example, a process corresponding to the process executed by the reservation display unit 130 in the reservation display process may be executed by the recording display unit 129 referring to the recording data 121.

Is not deleted. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the recording data recorded by the other user from being deleted while the other user does not intend.

  According to the present embodiment, reproduction position information is recorded in the recorded data 121 in association with the user ID. As a result, when a user plays a program whose playback has been interrupted by another user, it is not the position at which the other user has interrupted, but the position at which the user previously interrupted or the user's recorded program is played for the first time. If you do, you can play it from the beginning of the program. Therefore, even when a plurality of users use the recording / playback apparatus 100, each user can use the recording / playback apparatus 100 without being influenced by other users.

  According to the present embodiment, a user who is an administrator can view program information of a program reserved or recorded by another user. In addition, since a display method can be selected, when there are many programs to be displayed, desired information can be selected and viewed. Therefore, it becomes possible for the administrator to easily manage other users.

  According to the present embodiment, a user who is an administrator can delete recording reservation data 120 or recording data 121 of a recording reservation or a recorded program by another user by a selected method. As a result, the administrator can perform management by various methods.
