The I / O 1121, the ROM 1123, the RAM 1124, and the CPU 1125 are connected by a bus BS.

The I / O 1121 inputs and outputs signals via the control signal line L with each component inside the apparatus under the control of the CPU 1125, for example.
The timer unit (RTC) 1122 measures time based on, for example, a vibration signal from the vibrator, holds current time information, and the CPU 1125 reads the current time information as necessary.
The RTC 1122 is directly connected to the CPU 1125, for example, as shown in FIG. 4, and has functions such as time reading and setting from the CPU 1125, and notification when the designated time is reached.

The ROM 1123 stores, for example, initial data and a program (PRG).
The program (PRG) has a function according to the present invention and is executed by the CPU 1125.
The RAM 1124 holds various processing data used as a work space, for example, under the control of the CPU 1125.
The CPU 1125 comprehensively controls each component of the control unit 112, and implements the function according to the present invention by executing, for example, a program (PRG) using the RAM 1124 as a work space.

  For example, when the reservation time set by the input unit 105 is reached during a call by the communication unit 109, the control unit 112 having the above-described configuration performs a notification indicating that the reservation time is reached during the call and ends the call. The notification which shows that the content data reserved by the input part 105 is broadcast is performed.

The information related to the content data includes, for example, the content name, the elapsed time from the broadcast start time of the content data, the information related to the broadcast end time of the content data, and the like.

  Further, for example, when the reservation time set by the input unit 105 is reached during a call by the communication unit 109, the control unit 112 performs notification that the reservation time is reached during the call, and when the call ends, the input unit The content data reserved by 105 may be received and displayed.

Hereinafter, a specific example of the operation of the mobile phone 100 will be described.
FIG. 5 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the mobile phone shown in FIG. 1, for example, the operation of the reservation activation sequence. FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining an operation related to the reservation of the mobile phone shown in FIG.
With reference to FIGS. 5 and 6, the operation related to the reservation activation sequence will be described focusing on the operation of the control unit 112.

  In step ST <b> 1, the control unit 112 sets a reserved time for receiving a broadcast wave including content data transmitted at a predetermined time based on a signal from the input unit 105.

  Specifically, for example, the control unit 112 receives the electronic program information EPG as illustrated in FIG. 2 acquired via the reception unit 101 or the communication unit 109, or a signal input from the input unit 105 in response to a user operation. Based on this, for example, a program reservation table TB as shown in FIG. 6 is generated and recorded in the RAM 1124.

As shown in FIG. 6, for example, the program reservation table TB includes start time information TB1, end time information TB2, channel information TB3, character information TB4, and the like.
The start time information TB1 is information indicating a reservation start time for receiving content data (program).
End time information TB2 is information indicating the reception end time of content data. Channel information TB3 is information indicating a channel of content data. The conversion from the broadcast station name information E1 to the channel information TB3 is performed based on, for example, a conversion table that associates a preset broadcast station name and channel information.
The character information TB4 is information indicating content data, for example, title information, performer information, and the like.

  As described above, the program reservation table TB associates information such as start time information TB1, end time information TB2, channel information TB3, and character information TB4.

In this program reservation table TB, the user may input all of the information from the input unit 105, or as described above, the EPG is acquired from the broadcast wave or the server device and displayed, and the user records from there. The program reservation table TB may be generated by selecting a desired program. The program reservation table TB can be edited by the input unit 105.
By doing so, the user can reduce the trouble of operation.

  Further, the CPU 1125 outputs a signal indicating the closest start time from the current time to the RTC 1122 based on the program reservation table TB, in the above-described specific example, 2004/1/21 19:00, and when the start time is reached, the RTC 1122 Is set to generate an interrupt signal.

  In step ST2, the CPU 1125 determines whether or not it is a reservation start time. If it is not the reservation start time, the CPU 1125 performs normal processing (ST3) and returns to step ST2.

  On the other hand, when the CPU 1125 determines that it is the reservation start time in step ST2, for example, in detail, the RTC 1122 detects that the set start time has been reached, and outputs an interrupt signal to the CPU 1125. When the interrupt signal is received, the reservation activation sequence after step ST4 is started.

In step ST <b> 5, the CPU 1125 determines whether the communication unit 109 is in a call. If the call is not in progress, CPU 1125 determines whether or not the viewing reservation hold mode (pending) is set (ST6).
The viewing reservation pending mode is a mode corresponding to a state in which, for example, a viewing reservation is set but the viewing reservation is suspended.

If it is determined in step ST6 that the mode is not the viewing reservation pending mode, the CPU 1125 determines whether or not the broadcast is being viewed (ST7). If the broadcast is being viewed, the process proceeds to step ST9.
When not viewing, the CPU 1125 outputs a control signal for turning on the receiving unit 101 to the power control unit 111 when the power of the receiving unit 101 is off, and the power control unit 111 supplies power to the receiving unit 101. To set the receiving unit 101 to the on state (step ST8).

In step ST9, the control unit 112 performs tuning setting so that the broadcast radio unit 1011 of the reception unit 101 receives a channel designated based on the program reservation table TB.
The control unit 112 causes the display unit 103 to display content data included in the received broadcast wave, and causes the speaker 102 to generate sound, or both.

  The control unit 112 notifies the user that broadcast reception has been started by reservation at this time. In detail, the control part 112 alert | reports by vibrating the whole apparatus to the vibrator 104 (ST10), and progresses to the process of step ST13.

On the other hand, if the call is in progress in step ST5 or if it is determined in step ST6 that the viewing reservation pending mode is set, the control unit 112 notifies the user that it is the reservation start time (ST11). ).
In detail, for example, the control unit 112 outputs an instruction to generate an electronic sound to the sound generation unit 108, and the sound generation unit 108 folds the electronic sound generated in response to the instruction into a voice during a call and receives the handset. Output from 107. Further, the control unit 112 may notify the vibrator 104 by vibrating the entire apparatus.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining a specific example of notification of the mobile phone shown in FIG. A specific example of a notification indicating that it is a reserved time will be described with reference to FIG.

Further, during a call, the control unit 112 causes the display unit 103 to display information such as program information and elapsed time as shown in FIG.
During a call, for example, as shown in FIG. 7, the display unit 103 has an area AR1 at the top of the screen, an area AR2 at the center of the screen, and an area AR3 at the bottom of the screen.
The area AR1 always displays information indicating the state of the apparatus such as the remaining battery charge pict p1, the radio wave intensity pict p2, and the current time pict p3.
For example, the battery remaining amount pict p1 is information indicating the remaining amount of the battery 110, and the display changes according to the remaining amount of power of the battery 110.
The radio wave intensity picto p2 is information indicating the radio wave reception intensity by the receiving unit 101 or the communication unit 109, and the display changes according to the radio wave intensity.
The current time picto p3 indicates current time information that is measured by the RTC 1122, for example.

The area AR2 displays information related to the call such as, for example, the elapsed time of the call and an image or character information indicating the call partner.
The area AR3 displays, for example, soft keys SK1, SK2, and SK3 for calling various functions during a call.
For example, when the first selection key K3, the determination key K2, the second selection key K4, and the like are operated, the control unit 112 realizes functions assigned to the corresponding soft keys SK1, SK2, and SK3, respectively.

Further, when the viewing start time is reached during a call, as shown in FIG. 7, a viewing reservation information area AR4 indicating information related to viewing reservation is displayed between the area AR2 and the area AR3.
In the viewing reservation information area AR4, for example, as shown in FIG. 7, information indicating that the reserved program is being broadcast, the title of the reserved content data, the elapsed time, and the like are displayed.

  In step ST12, the CPU 1125 stores flag information indicating the reserved viewing pending mode in the RAM 1124 (ST12), and proceeds to the process of step ST13.

  In step ST13, the CPU 1125 sets the next event occurrence time in the RTC 1122 based on the program reservation table TB. Specifically, the CPU 1125 sets the next event occurrence time in the RTC 1122 based on the program reservation table TB.

  If there is a reservation end time or the next reservation earlier than the reservation end time, the start time is set as the next event occurrence time. The viewing start time may be notified several minutes ago.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart for explaining the operation at the end of the call of the mobile phone shown in FIG. With reference to FIG. 8, the operation at the end of the talk will be described focusing on the operation of the control unit 112. FIG.

  In step ST101, the control unit 112 performs a call termination process based on the mobile communication protocol, calculates the estimated call time and call charge that have been measured (ST102), and displays them on the display unit 103 (ST103).

  In step ST104, the control unit 112 determines whether or not the viewing reservation pending mode is set. If the viewing reservation pending mode is being set, the control unit 112 is set to automatically display the content data (program). (Step 113), and if not set, the processing of steps ST105 to ST110 is performed. If automatic display is set, a process of step ST109 described later is performed.

In steps ST105 and 106, the control unit 112 causes display regarding the broadcast end time of the content data, for example, display regarding the elapsed time and the remaining time.
Specifically, based on the reservation start time stored in the program reservation table TB and the current time information held by the RTC 1122, the CPU 1125, for example, as shown in Equation (1), the elapsed time from the reservation start time to the current time. Calculate time.

[Equation 1]
Elapsed time = current time-reservation start time (1)

  Based on the viewing reservation end time and the current time information held by the RTC 1122, the CPU 1125 calculates the remaining time until the reservation end time, for example, as shown in Equation (2).

[Equation 2]
Remaining time = reservation end time-current time (2)

  In step ST106, the CPU 1125 displays the elapsed time and the remaining time on the display unit 103, displays future options, and waits for a user instruction (ST107).

  If it is determined in step ST104 that the viewing reservation pending mode is not set, it is determined whether or not a reservation end notification is pending (step ST111). When pending, a reservation end display is performed and the process waits for a confirmation input from the user (step ST112). When not pending, the process returns to normal processing.

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a specific example of the display screen of the mobile phone shown in FIG.
Specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. 9, the control unit 112 displays an information area AR <b> 5 that displays information related to reservation at the center of the display unit 103.
In the information area AR5, a display indicating that the viewing reservation is pending, the character information of the program reservation table TB is displayed as the program name, the reservation start time / end time, the elapsed time and the remaining time calculated in ST105, and A character string that prompts the user to input future operation instructions is displayed.

Further, the control unit 112 displays “view”, “hold”, and “cancel” on the soft keys SK1, SK2, and SK3 in the area AR3 of the display unit 103, for example, as shown in FIG.
In step ST108, the control unit 112 operates the keys corresponding to the respective soft keys SK1, SK2, SK3, specifically, the first selection key K3, the determination key K2, and the second selection key K4. As shown below, the assigned functions are realized.

When the determination key K2 corresponding to the soft key SK2 to which “viewing” is assigned is operated, the control unit 112 starts viewing.
That is, control section 112 receives a signal indicating a reception instruction from input section 105, sets receiving section 101 to an ON state, and tunes and sets demodulation section 1012 to receive a designated channel (ST109).

  When the first selection key K3 corresponding to the soft key SK1 to which “pending” is assigned is operated, the control unit 112 receives a signal indicating a non-reception instruction from the input unit 105 and keeps the viewing reservation pending. The standby screen is displayed on the display unit 103.

  When the second selection key K4 corresponding to the soft key SK3 to which “Cancel” is assigned is operated, the control unit 112 receives a signal indicating cancellation including a non-reception instruction from the input unit 105, and receives a non-reception program. The reservation is canceled, the viewing reservation pending state is canceled, and the standby screen is displayed on the display unit 103 (ST110).

  On the other hand, when it is determined in step ST104 that the viewing reservation pending is not in progress, the control unit 112 determines whether or not the reservation end notification is pending (ST111), and the reservation end notification is pending. Displays on the display unit 103 that the reserved program has ended (ST112).

FIG. 10 is a flowchart for explaining the operation when the mobile phone shown in FIG. 1 reaches the viewing reservation end time.
When the event time set in the RTC 1122 is reached, the RTC 1122 outputs a signal indicating that to the CPU 1125.
The CPU 1125 receives the signal and executes event processing.

When viewing reservation pending is in progress, CPU 1125 cancels the viewing reservation pending state (ST123), and when it is waiting, it displays that the program reserved for viewing and pending has ended (ST124). , ST125).
On the other hand, in step ST125, if the notification cannot be made immediately during a call or the like, CPU 1125 sets the reserved program end notification pending mode and ends the series of processes (ST126).

On the other hand, when the viewing reservation is not pending and the viewing is being performed, CPU 1125 sets receiving section 101 to the off state (ST127).
Further, as described above, as shown in FIG. 8, when the call termination process is performed during the reserved program end notification pending mode, the fact that the reserved program has ended is displayed on the display unit 103 (ST112).

  Further, ST124, ST125, and ST126 may be omitted based on setting information set in advance by the user so that notification that the program has ended is not made. By doing so, the processing load can be reduced.

The reservation information table organizing process by the CPU 1125 will be described.
In order to simplify the explanation, the processing procedure so far has not been referred to the deletion processing of the program reservation information of the program that has been viewed. The process will be described below.
The CPU 1125 deletes the program information registered in the program reservation table when the program ends. The conditions for deletion are as follows, for example.
・ When the end time of the registered program is reached.
・ When the user selects “Cancel” on the viewing reservation display screen.
• When the viewing start time of the reserved program that reaches the start time before the end time of the registered program is reached.

  The CPU 1125 deletes the program reservation information from the program reservation table when the above conditions are satisfied in the processing procedure when the viewing start time is reached, the end speech processing procedure, and the processing procedure when the end time is reached. To do.

  As described above, the input unit 105 for reserving the time to view content data broadcast in digital broadcasting and the notification indicating that the reservation time is reached when the reservation time reserved by the input unit 105 during a call is reached. And a control unit 112 for notifying that the reserved content data is being broadcast when the call ends, so that even when the reserved time is reached during the call, the notification is reliably performed. be able to.

  That is, by displaying that the reserved program is started after the end of the talk, it is possible to alert the user and prevent the program from being missed.

In addition, the control unit 112 sets the receiving unit 101 to the off state before the reservation time, and at the end of the call, causes the display to prompt the user to select whether or not to receive the broadcast wave including the content data. The receiving unit 101 receives the broadcast wave, receives the non-reception instruction, and holds the off state of the receiving unit 101. Therefore, processing according to the user's selection can be performed, and power consumption can be reduced. it can.
In other words, the next operation to be performed by the user is displayed as a soft key, so that the next operation of the user can be instructed with a simple operation, and the operation becomes simple.

  In addition, when the call ends, the control unit 112 displays a display related to the broadcast end time of the content data, for example, information related to the program, elapsed time, time until the end, and the like on the display unit 103 so that the user views the program. By presenting information that helps to determine whether or not, user convenience can be improved.

Note that the present invention is not limited to this embodiment, and any suitable modification can be made.
For example, the configuration of the control unit 112 described above is not limited to the configuration described above.

The program (PRG) may be downloaded via a communication network.
The control unit may be realized by a hardware circuit having a function according to the present invention.
