Stores program data recorded according to operation / recording operation, and has items of “Record ID”, “Type”, “Channel / Frequency”, “Date / time information”, and “Video / audio data”. ing. “Record ID”, “Type”, “Channel / Frequency”, and “Date / time information” are basically the same as those in the reservation information storage unit M1, and “Video / audio data” is recorded program data ( Actual data). The “video / audio data (actual data)” is filed and stored separately, and the recording data storage unit M2 stores link information (for example, file name) of the recording file. Also good.

  Next, the operation concept of the mobile phone device in this embodiment will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. Here, each function described in these flowcharts is stored in the form of a readable program code, and operations according to the program code are sequentially executed. In addition, the operation according to the above-described program code transmitted via the transmission medium can be sequentially executed. In other words, in addition to the recording medium, an operation peculiar to this embodiment can be executed by using a program / data supplied externally via a transmission medium.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a characteristic part of the overall operation of the mobile phone device that starts executing upon power-on.
First, when the central control unit 11 is turned on (powered ON) (step A1), the central control unit 11 operates the wireless transmission / reception unit 14 to perform a position registration response via the wireless communication network 2, and also displays a predetermined standby image. While waiting for a call / mail while reading out and displaying it, a standby state is entered (step A2). In this standby state, the central control unit 11 checks whether a television ON operation (television broadcast reception operation) for instructing the start of television broadcast reception has been performed (step A3), or instructs the start of radio broadcast reception. It is checked whether a radio ON operation (radio broadcast reception operation) has been performed (step A5).

 Now, when a television broadcast receiving operation is performed (YES in step A3), the process proceeds to execution of “television → radio processing” (step A4). As will be described later, this “television → radio processing” is processing in which radio broadcast program information related to the program can be arbitrarily confirmed while the television broadcast program is being viewed. When a radio broadcast receiving operation is performed (YES in step A5), the process proceeds to execution of “radio → TV processing” (step A6). As will be described later, this “radio → television process” is a process that allows arbitrary confirmation of TV broadcast program information related to the program while listening to the radio broadcast program.

 Further, every time the current time of the RTC 20 is updated (every “00 seconds” when the one-minute digit is updated) (YES in Step A7), the “reserved output / recording process” is executed (Step A8). The “reserved output / recording process” is a process of recording a TV program / radio program in the recording data storage unit M2 based on the reservation information or outputting it from the display unit 18 or the sound speaker 22 as will be described later. It is. When a playback operation is performed (YES in step A9), the recorded data storage unit M2 is accessed to read a program to be played back (recorded data) arbitrarily selected by a user operation (step A10) and playback. Output (step A11).

 Further, when a power-off operation is performed (YES in step A12), a power-off process such as suspend is executed (step A13), but when other operations are performed (YES in step A14), for example, a telephone call Transmission processing, mail creation / transmission processing, incoming call processing, mail reception processing, etc. are executed (step A15). Then, the process returns to the above-described step A3, and thereafter, the process according to the above-described operation and the process according to the time update are executed until the power is turned off.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart for explaining in detail the TV → radio process (step A4 in FIG. 5).
First, the central control unit 11 activates the television broadcast / radio broadcast reception unit 21 in response to the television broadcast reception operation to start reception of the television broadcast (step B1), and also receives the received television broadcast program (television program). ), And the video data is output from the television screen of the display unit 18 and the audio data is output from the sound speaker 22 (step B2). Then, program information (for example, program name, genre, performer name, etc.) regarding the TV program currently being viewed (received and output) is acquired (step B3).

 Here, when the mobile phone device 1 acquires the TV program information from the TV program information server 8 via the wireless communication network 6 and the Internet 7, the channel information currently selected with the program information transmission request is received. In response to this, the television program information transmitted from the television program information server 8 via the wireless communication network 6 and the Internet 7 is received and acquired. In addition, when the mobile phone device 1 receives a television broadcast signal currently being received from the television broadcast / radio broadcast receiver 21, the mobile phone device 1 acquires the program information superimposed on the television broadcast signal separately from the broadcast signal. You may make it do.

 In addition, it is not limited to the case where TV program information is acquired in response to the reception output of TV broadcast, but for example, TV program information (program guide) periodically in advance such as once a day or once a week. May be received and stored and managed, the program broadcast on the currently selected channel may be examined, and program information relating to the program may be read out from the program guide and acquired. If the currently viewed TV broadcast is a CM broadcast, that is, if a TV broadcast receiving operation is performed during the CM broadcast, information (brand name, product name, price, etc.) regarding the CM is used as the TV program information. get. When the TV program information is acquired in this way, the central control unit 11 opens a window at the corner of the display unit 18 in the TV screen, and displays the currently viewed program information in this window (step B4). In this state, the process proceeds to processing for designating desired information as a keyword from the program information in the window (step B5).

FIG. 7 is a flowchart for explaining the keyword specifying process (step B5 in FIG. 6) in detail.
First, the central control unit 11 designates arbitrary information as a keyword from program information displayed in a list on the TV screen window, for example, “program name”, “genre”, “performer name”, and the like. It is checked whether the designation operation has been performed (step C1). In this case, arbitrary information may be selected and specified as a keyword by performing a cursor operation for moving the cursor in the window. If no keyword specifying operation has been performed (NO in step C1), it is checked whether a selection operation for selecting an object in the television program has been performed (step C3). In this case, a desired object may be selected by directly touching a performer or the like shown on a touch-panel TV screen or by operating a predetermined key when a song is playing.

 Now, when a keyword specifying operation is performed (YES in step C1), the specified information is captured as a keyword (step C2), but when an object selecting operation is performed (YES in step C3), step B3 in FIG. The information related to the selected object is extracted from the program information acquired in step S4, and the list is output (step C4). For example, when a singer on the TV screen is selected as an object, its “name”, “song name”, “affiliation”, etc. are displayed in a list. When an object is selected, its “brand name”, “product name”, “price”, and the like are displayed in a list. When a designation operation for designating arbitrary information from the list as a keyword is performed (step C5), the information is fetched as a keyword (step C2).

 When the process of designating a desired keyword is completed in this way, the process proceeds to step B6 in FIG. 6 to acquire radio program information. At this time, a program table transmission request is made, and in response to this, radio program information (Program guide) is received and acquired from the radio program information server 9 via the wireless communication network 6 and the Internet 7, or the program information superimposed on the broadcast signal of each station is automatically selected while the radio station is sequentially selected. Get separated from. As described above, the radio program information is not limited to the case where the radio program information is acquired in response to the keyword designation. For example, the radio program information (program guide) is periodically periodically once a day or once a week. ) Is received and acquired and stored and managed, the radio program information (program guide) may be read out and acquired.

 Then, the radio program information acquired as described above is compared with the specified keyword to check whether or not the specified keyword is included in the radio program information. If the specified keyword is included, it corresponds to that. All program information is extracted (step B7). For example, if the designated keyword is a singer, a program in which the singer appears is searched and the program information is extracted. Then, after outputting the program information as a list (step B8), the process proceeds to execution of "radio reception / output / reservation processing" (step B9).

FIG. 8 is a flowchart for explaining in detail the radio reception / output / reservation process (step B9 in FIG. 6).
First, the central control unit 11 counts the number of radio program information extracted in step B7 described above to check whether there is a plurality of pieces (step D1). If a plurality of pieces of radio program information are extracted, the list The system waits until an operation for selecting one desired program information is performed (step D2). In this case, if there is only one extracted radio program information, the program information is specified as a reception target. If there are a plurality of pieces, the program information arbitrarily selected by the user operation is specified as a reception target. The guidance is displayed (step D3). This guidance screen displays the scheduled broadcast date and time of the program to be received and the program name, and the user who confirms it selectively performs the following operations in consideration of the importance of the program and the scheduled broadcast date and time. It can be carried out.

 In this case, the central control unit 11 has performed an output operation instructing the output of the radio program specified as the reception target (step D4), or an output & recording operation instructing the output and recording of the radio program. (Step D7), whether a recording operation for instructing recording of a radio program has been performed (step D11), and whether a reservation information storage operation for instructing to store a radio program as reservation information has been performed (step D14). .

 Now, when an output operation is performed (YES in step D4), the TV broadcast / radio broadcast receiving unit 21 is activated and the radio program information specified as described above (radio program information extracted based on the designated keyword). After that, the radio station is selected and the program broadcast is received (step D5), and the radio program is output (step D6). When the output & recording operation is performed (YES in step D7), the broadcast of the program is received based on the specified radio program information (step D8) as in the above case, and the radio program is displayed. After outputting (step D9), the radio program is recorded in the recording data storage unit M2 (step D10). In this case, “radio” is set as the “type” of the recording data, and the radio station frequency is set as the “channel / frequency”.

 When a recording operation is performed (YES in step D11), a broadcast of the program is received based on the specified radio program information (step D12), and the radio program is recorded as recorded data, as described above. It records in the memory | storage part M2 (step D13). Also in this case, “radio” is set as the “type” of the recording data, and the radio station frequency is set as the “channel / frequency”. When a reservation information storage operation is performed (YES in step D14), reservation information is generated from the specified radio program information and stored in the reservation information storage unit M1 (step D15), as described above.

 In this case, “radio” is set as the “type” of the reservation information, and the frequency of the radio station is set as “channel / frequency”. In addition, when specifying “viewing reservation” for outputting a reserved program at the reservation date and time, an “output flag” is set. In addition, when “recording reservation (recording / recording reservation)” for recording a reserved program at the reservation date and time is designated, a “recording flag” is set. Note that the present invention is not limited to setting one of the “output flag” and “record flag”, and both of them may be set.

 If none of the operations described above has been performed (NO in step D14), the flow exits. Note that the above-described operations may be performed in advance without being performed at the time of “radio reception / output / reservation processing”. That is, pre-operation information indicating whether an output operation, an output & recording operation, a recording operation, or a reservation information storage operation is performed in advance is stored, and this pre-operation information is stored during radio reception / output / reservation processing. You may make it perform the process corresponding to operation, referring.

 The radio → television process (step A6 in FIG. 5) is basically the same as the above-described television → radio process (step A4 in FIG. 5). In the case of "→ TV processing", the relationship between "TV" and "Radio" is reversed in the flowchart of FIG. That is, after receiving a radio broadcast and outputting this radio program, radio program information is acquired and output. Then, after executing the keyword specifying process, TV program information is acquired, and TV program information including the specified keyword is extracted from the TV program information and output. Then, “television reception / output / reservation processing” may be executed based on the extracted television program information. Note that the “TV reception / output / reservation process” is basically the same process as the flow of FIG. 8, and therefore the detailed flowchart thereof is omitted. In this case, the “radio” of FIG. Replace it with “TV”.

FIG. 9 is a flowchart for explaining in detail the reservation output / recording process (step A8 in FIG. 5).
First, the central control unit 11 acquires the current date and time from the RTC 20 every time the current time of the RTC 20 is updated (every “00 seconds” when the one-minute digit is updated) (step E1), and records the current date and time The “date and time information (reservation date and time)” in the data storage unit M2 is sequentially compared (step E2), and the presence or absence of the reservation date and time corresponding to the current date and time is checked (step E3). As a result, if any reservation date and time has not been reached (NO in step E3), this flow ends. If any reservation date and time has been reached, the reservation information is read (step E4), and the “ It is checked whether the reservation is for television broadcasting with reference to “type” (step E5).

 If “TV” is set as the “type”, that is, if the reservation is for a television broadcast (YES in step E5), the television broadcast / radio broadcast receiver 21 is activated and the reservation information is included. The TV station is selected based on the “channel / frequency” and the program broadcast is received (step E6). Then, with reference to the “output flag” in the reservation information, the presence / absence of the set is checked (step E7), and the received broadcast program is output on condition that the “output flag” is set (step E8). Further, the presence or absence of the set is checked with reference to the “record flag” in the reservation information (step E9), and the received broadcast program is recorded in the record data storage unit M2 on condition that the “record flag” is set. (Step E10).

 If “Radio” is set as the “type”, that is, if the reservation is related to radio broadcasting (NO in step E5), the TV broadcast / radio broadcast receiving unit 21 is activated and the reservation information includes The radio station is selected based on the “channel / frequency” and the program broadcast is received (step E11). Then, with reference to the “output flag” in the reservation information, the presence / absence of the set is checked (step E12), and the received broadcast program is output on condition that the “output flag” is set (step E13). Further, the presence or absence of the set is checked with reference to the “record flag” in the reservation information (step E14), and the received broadcast program is recorded in the record data storage unit M2 on condition that the “record flag” is set. (Step E15). In order to reproduce the program (recorded data) stored in the recorded data storage unit M2, the reproduction process may be started by performing the reproduction operation as described above (steps A9 to 11 in FIG. 5).

 As described above, the cellular phone device 1 in this embodiment includes the television broadcast / radio broadcast receiving unit 21, and the central control unit 11 is a program showing a program of the first broadcast (for example, a television broadcast or a radio broadcast). In addition to acquiring information, program information indicating a program of a second broadcast (for example, a radio broadcast if the first broadcast is a television broadcast and a television broadcast if the first broadcast is a radio broadcast) is acquired, A keyword is specified from the program information indicating the program of the first broadcast, the program information corresponding to the specified keyword is extracted from the program information indicating the program of the second broadcast, and the program broadcast is received. So, like broadcasts and radio broadcasts, multiple broadcasts cooperate with each other via their program information, so that no complicated operation is required and the other broadcast related to the other broadcast is based on that broadcast. Receive It is possible.

  When the central control unit 11 receives the second broadcast, the central control unit 11 outputs the program of the broadcast. Therefore, the central control unit 11 can watch the program of the first broadcast (listen to the radio broadcast, the same applies hereinafter). The related second broadcast program can be viewed in real time, and it is possible to prevent the program from being missed or missed.

  When the central control unit 11 receives the second broadcast, the central control unit 11 records the broadcast program. Therefore, the central control unit 11 can view the first broadcast program and also view the related second broadcast program in real time. It is not limited to viewing and listening, and can be freely played back and viewed at any time, and it is possible to prevent oversight and missed listening.

  The central control unit 11 generates reservation information from program information extracted based on a designated keyword from program information indicating a second broadcast program, stores the reservation information in the reservation information storage unit M1, and then stores the reservation date and time. When it is detected that the program has been received, the reception of the broadcast of the program indicated by the reservation information is instructed, so that the broadcast date and time of the first broadcast program and the related second broadcast program Even if are separated from each other in time, the program of the second broadcast can be set as a reserved program, and it is possible to prevent the program from being missed or missed.

  In this case, as a program reservation, either “viewing reservation” for outputting the reserved program at the reservation date and time, “recording / recording reservation” for recording the reserved program, or both of them can be specified. It becomes possible to meet the user's wishes.

  When program information indicating a television broadcast or radio broadcast program is acquired, the program information superimposed on the broadcast signal is acquired, so that it is impossible to connect to the wireless communication network 6 and the Internet 7. It is possible to obtain program information even underneath.

  When program information indicating a TV broadcast or radio broadcast program is acquired, since the program information is received and acquired via the wireless communication network 6 and the Internet 7, the program information is not superimposed on the broadcast signal. However, program information can be acquired.

  Since the program information corresponding to the designated keyword arbitrarily designated by the user operation is extracted from the program information indicating the second broadcast program and the broadcast of the program is received, the desired program can be viewed. It becomes possible.

  Since the program information related to the selected object is specified as a keyword when an object in the program is selected by a user operation in the state in which the program of the first broadcast is being output, for example, a product Desired keywords such as name, brand name, price, singer name, song name, and affiliation can be easily specified.

  Note that the radio reception / output / reservation process (FIG. 8) of the above-described embodiment identifies the program information as a reception target if the number is one as a result of extracting the program information including the specified keyword. If there are a plurality of programs, the program information arbitrarily selected by the user operation from among them is specified as a reception target and displayed as guidance, followed by “output operation”, “output & recording operation”, “recording” Corresponding to “operation” and “reservation information storage operation”, the above-described output processing (steps D5 and D6), reception output recording processing (steps D8 to D10), reception recording processing (steps D12 and D13), reservation information storage processing (Step D15) is executed, but as shown in FIG. 10, the reception output recording process and the reservation information recording process may be executed without performing a special operation.

FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing a modified application example of the “radio reception / output / reservation process” shown in FIG.
First, after acquiring the current date and time from the RTC 20 (step F1), the central control unit 11 compares the scheduled broadcast date and time of the radio program information extracted by the designated keyword as described above with the current date and time (step F2). Then, it is checked whether or not the currently indicated radio program is included in the program indicated by the extracted radio program information (step F3).

  As a result, if there is a broadcast program, the TV broadcast / radio broadcast receiving unit 21 is activated to receive the radio broadcast (step F4), the program is output (step F5), and the recorded data is stored. Record in part M2 (step F6). Note that the reception output and recording operation automatically started in this way is ended when the end time of the program is detected. If program information other than the program currently being broadcast exists, reservation information is generated based on the program information and stored in the reservation information storage unit M1 (step F7).

  On the other hand, if there is no radio program that is currently being broadcast (NO in step F3), as a result of comparing the scheduled broadcast date and time of the radio program information with the current date and time, the program whose scheduled broadcast date and time is closest to the current date and time (the latest scheduled broadcast program) (Program) is specified (step F8). Then, it is checked whether it is less than a predetermined time (for example, 10 minutes) until the scheduled broadcast date and time, that is, whether or not the broadcast date and time of the latest program is too far in time compared to the current date and time (step F9). If it is 10 minutes or more (NO in step F9), the process proceeds to step F7, and reservation information is generated for each program information and stored in the reservation information storage unit M1.

  If it is less than 10 minutes (YES in step F9), the TV broadcast / radio broadcast receiving unit 21 is activated to receive the radio broadcast (step F10), and this program is output (step F11), and the recorded data It records in the memory | storage part M2 (step F12). That is, before the program is started, the reception output and recording operation is started by tuning the radio station. Note that the automatically started reception output and recording operation ends when the end time of the program is detected. If program information other than the latest program exists, reservation information is generated based on the program information and stored in the reservation information storage unit M1 (step F7).

  As a result of comparing the scheduled broadcast date and time and the current date and time of the radio program information extracted by the specified keyword as described above, if there is a program currently being broadcast, the program broadcast is received and the program is output or recorded. Therefore, while watching a TV broadcast, the user can immediately listen to and record the related radio program.

  In addition, as a result of comparing the scheduled broadcast date and time of the radio program information extracted by the specified keyword, the program scheduled to be broadcast most recently is identified, the program broadcast is received, and the program is output or recorded. As a result, it is possible to prepare for listening until the desired program starts, and to listen to the program from the beginning.

  10 shows a modified application example of “radio reception / output / reservation processing”, but “television reception / output / reservation processing” may be basically the same processing as the flow of FIG. Good. Also in this case, “radio” in FIG. 10 becomes “television”.

  In the embodiment described above, the first broadcast (television broadcast or radio broadcast), the second broadcast (radio broadcast if the first broadcast is a television broadcast, and television if the first broadcast is a radio broadcast). However, the first broadcast and the second broadcast are not limited to the relationship between the television broadcast and the radio broadcast. For example, the relationship between the first channel of the television broadcast and another channel may be used. Moreover, the relationship between the 1st frequency of radio broadcasting and another frequency may be sufficient.

Other than the terrestrial digital broadcast transmitted from the ground station, the present invention can be similarly applied even when receiving a digital broadcast from a broadcasting satellite or receiving a digital broadcast distributed via a communication network. It is.
Further, the present invention is not limited to the mobile phone device, and can be similarly applied to a mobile terminal device such as a PDA, an electronic camera, an electronic wristwatch, and a music player. Furthermore, it is not limited to a portable terminal device, and may be a stationary video device with a television broadcast reception function, a television receiver, or the like.
