  In the first embodiment of the present invention, a television broadcast can be recorded. The recorded data 26 is stored in the general purpose memory 24. In addition, the reserved program can be updated according to the moved broadcast area. In order to realize such control, the control unit 21 includes a position information acquisition unit 41, a program information acquisition unit 42, a change determination unit 43, a program comparison unit 44, a program reservation update unit 45, a TV tuner control unit 46, Each function of the reservation execution unit 47 and the clock unit 48 is provided. Further, a notification as to whether or not to change the reservation is displayed on the display unit 29, and whether or not to change the reservation can be set by the operation unit 28.

  Next, the operation of the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 3, 51a and 51b indicate television broadcasting stations, and 52a and 52b indicate mobile phone base stations. L1 and L2 indicate broadcast areas of the broadcast stations 51a and 51b. The broadcast areas L1 and L2 range from several tens to several hundreds of kilometers. M1 and M2 indicate the cell areas of the base stations 52a and 52b, and the cell areas M1 and M2 of the base stations 52a and 52b are several hundred meters to several kilometers.

  As shown in FIG. 3A, it is assumed that a user in the broadcast area L1 of the broadcast station 51a makes a recording reservation on the mobile phone terminal 1. In this case, recording is set based on the program information in the broadcast area L1.

  The recording set at this time is correctly executed if the user stays in the broadcast area L1. However, as shown in FIG. 3 (B), if the user moves from the broadcast area L1 to the broadcast area L2, the program information changes, so that it cannot be executed correctly.

  Therefore, in the first embodiment of the present invention, when the user moves from the broadcast area L1 to the broadcast area L2, the program reservation can be updated based on the program information of the destination broadcast area. That is, when the user moves from the broadcast area L1 to the broadcast area L2, the program information of the destination broadcast area is referred to determine whether there is a program that is the same as the reserved program. If there is the same program, the reserved program is updated. Where the user is moving can be detected from, for example, GPS information and cell phone cell areas M1 and M2. Thereby, it is possible to make a program reservation correctly even at the destination.

  However, if all the reserved programs are updated, when the user returns from the broadcast area L2 to the broadcast area L1, the program reservation needs to be updated again. When the user returns from the broadcast area L2 to the broadcast area L1, if the program reservation is updated again, program information (EPG (Electronic Program Guide)) information is acquired by the network, resulting in unnecessary communication costs. End up.

  Therefore, in the first embodiment of the present invention, when the program reservation is updated, whether to change the reservation to the program in the moved area is inquired for each program, and whether to change the reservation is determined by the operation unit. It can be selected by a key operation by 28.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 4A, it is assumed that a user in “Osaka” has made a recording reservation for “professional baseball”, “drama”, and “quiz”. The recording schedule date for “Professional Baseball” is July 15th and 19:00, and the channel is “15ch”. The recording schedule date for “Drama” is July 17th and 20:00, and the channel is “15ch”. The recording reservation date and time of “quiz” is July 18th and 19:00, and the channel is “17ch”. In this case, a recording reservation is set in the mobile phone terminal 1 as shown in FIG.

  Here, it is assumed that the user makes a business trip to “Tokyo” from July 15 to July 17, and returns to “Osaka” on July 18. In this case, when recording “professional baseball” and “drama”, since the user is in “Tokyo”, the recording reservation is not correctly performed. Further, when recording the “quiz”, the user has returned to “Osaka”, so there is no need to change the recording reservation.

  In the first embodiment of the present invention, when the user moves from “Osaka” to “Tokyo”, the program reservation can be updated based on the program information in the broadcast area of “Tokyo” as the destination. . Then, referring to the program information in the broadcast area of “Tokyo” as the destination, it is determined whether there is a program that is the same as the reserved program. If there is a program that is the same as the reserved program, the recording reservation is changed. ing. If there is no program identical to the reserved program, the recording reservation cannot be changed. Further, when the program reservation is updated, it is inquired whether to change the reservation to the program in the moved area, and whether to change the reservation can be selected by a key operation. Thereby, the recording reservation can be changed as shown in FIG.

  That is, in FIG. 4B, for the recording reservation of “professional baseball”, the recording reservation cannot be changed because the same program is not broadcast in the broadcasting area of “Tokyo”. In this case, a “X” mark is added indicating that the recording reservation could not be changed. For a broadcast area with a different “cross” mark, for example, a recording reservation flag is set to 0 to disable recording. Regarding the recording reservation of “drama”, since the same program is broadcast in “Tokyo”, the channel is changed from “15ch” to “24ch” based on this. In this case, a “maru” mark indicating that the recording reservation has been changed is added. As for the recording reservation of “quiz”, since the recording reservation is returned to “Osaka”, it is not necessary to change the recording reservation. In this case, a “triangle” mark indicating that the recording reservation change is not selected is added.

  As described above, in the first embodiment of the present invention, when the user of the mobile phone terminal 1 moves between different broadcast areas, the program reservation can be updated based on the program information of the destination broadcast area. It has become. Further, when updating the program reservation, it is inquired whether or not to change the reservation to the program in the moved area, and it is possible to select whether or not to change the reservation by a key operation. As a result, program reservation can be performed correctly even at the destination, and reservations that do not need to be changed are not changed.

  In order to realize the above control, in the first embodiment of the present invention, the control unit 21 includes a position information acquisition unit 41, a program information acquisition unit 42, and a change determination unit as shown in FIG. 43, a program comparison unit 44, a program reservation update unit 45, a TV tuner control unit 46, a reservation execution unit 47, and a clock unit 48 are provided.

  That is, the program information acquisition unit 42 acquires program information from the communication unit 35 via the Internet. Thereby, program information for each region can be obtained. Note that the program information may be acquired from a television broadcast wave.

  The reservation execution unit 47 stores the reserved program information 25 in the general-purpose memory 24 when the program reservation is made. When it is determined from the time information from the clock unit 48 that the reserved time has come, the TV tuner control unit 46 causes the television broadcast to be recorded.

  Further, the position information acquisition unit 41 acquires the current position information from the base station information from the communication unit 35 or from the information from the GPS signal processing unit 36.

  When the position information acquisition unit 41 detects that the mobile phone terminal 1 has been moved to a different broadcast area, the program information acquisition unit 42 acquires the destination program information. The change determination unit 43 compares the position information from the position information acquisition unit 41 with the reserved program information, determines whether or not the program has moved to a broadcast area different from the reservation time, and has moved to a broadcast area different from the reservation time. When the determination is made, an inquiry as to whether or not to change the reservation to the program in the moved broadcast area is displayed on the display unit 29, and whether or not the reservation is changed is determined by a key operation of the operation unit 28. If it is determined that the reservation change is to be performed, the program comparison unit 44 refers to the program information of the destination and searches for the same program as the reserved program. If there is the same program as the reserved program, the program reservation update is performed. In part 45, the reservation program is updated. As described above, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the program reservation is updated, an inquiry as to whether or not to change the reservation to the program in the moved broadcast area is displayed on the display unit 29. You can choose whether to change the reservation.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart of the reservation change process according to the first embodiment of this invention. In FIG. 5, the reservation list is read (step S101), and it is determined from the reservation list whether a reservation is made (step S102). As shown in FIG. 6, the reservation list includes reservation program information number, reservation start time, reservation time, reserved channel, program name, and reserved program information in the broadcast area. In the reservation list of FIG. 6, three reservations, number 1, number 2, and number 3, are made. Reservation No. 1 has a reservation start time “July 15 19:00”, a reservation time “90 minutes”, a channel “15CH”, a program name “Pro Baseball”, and a broadcast area “Osaka”. . The contents of program 2 and program 2 are also as shown in the figure. If no reservation has been made in step S102 (No in step S102), the reservation change process is terminated.

  If it is determined in step S102 that the reservation is made (Yes in step S102), the reserved program information of the first number is acquired from the reservation list (step S103).

  When the reserved program information is acquired, the broadcast area item of the acquired reserved program information is compared with the current area, and it is determined whether or not the program has moved to a broadcast area different from that at the time of reservation (step S104).

  If it is determined in step S104 that the user has moved to a broadcast area different from that at the time of reservation (Yes in step S104), the reservation change is notified and it is determined whether or not to change the reservation. Here, when changing the reservation is selected, a key operation for changing the reservation is performed. When the reservation is changed (Yes in step S105), the program information of the broadcast area in the moved area is acquired (step 106). Then, the acquired program information is searched to determine whether there is a program identical to the reserved program (step S107).

  If it is determined in step S107 that there is the same program as the reserved program (Yes in step S107), the reserved program information is updated (step S108), and the changed reserved program information is notified ( Step S109). Then, it is determined whether there is next reserved program information (step S110).

  If it is determined in step S107 that there is no program identical to the reserved program (No in step S107), it is notified that there is no program that can be reserved (step S111). In step S110, it is determined whether there is next reserved program information.

  If it is determined in step S104 that the user has not moved to an area different from the reservation (No in step S104), the reservation program information is not changed, and the process directly proceeds to step S110. Even if it is selected that the reservation is not changed in step S105 (No in step S105), the reserved program information is not changed, and the process goes to step S110 as it is.

  If it is determined in step S110 that there is next reserved program information (Yes in step S110), the reserved program information of the next number is acquired from the reserved list (step S112), and the process returns to step S104.

  By repeating the loop from step S104 to step S112, reserved program information is sequentially acquired from the reservation list (steps S103 and S112), and when moving to an area different from the reservation, it is determined whether or not the reservation is to be changed. When the reservation is changed, the reserved program information is changed from the program information of the destination area (steps S106 to S109). If the reservation is not changed (No in step S105), the reserved program information can be left as it is.

  If it is determined in step S110 that there is no next reserved program information, the updated reservation list is displayed (step S113), and the process ends.

  As described above, in the first embodiment of the present invention, when moving to a different broadcast area, the program reservation can be updated based on the program information of the destination broadcast area. In this way, when updating the program reservation, it is possible to select whether or not to change the reservation to the program in the broadcast area of the moved area by a key operation. Therefore, only necessary program reservation can be changed.

<Second Embodiment>
FIG. 7 shows a second embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the program change target period can be specified, and the program can be changed for the program in the period specified in the change target period. The change target period can be set in units of days or hours. For example, in the case where a recording reservation as shown in FIG. 4A has been made, if the change target period is set to “July 17”, a reservation for “drama” in which recording is set for July 17 is scheduled. Only program information is subject to change.

  In FIG. 7, the reservation list is read (step S201), and it is determined from the reservation list whether a reservation is made (step S202). If no reservation is made in step S202 (No in step S202), the reservation change process is terminated.

  If it is determined in step S202 that a reservation has been made (Yes in step S202), the reserved program information of the first number is acquired from the reservation list (step S203).

  Next, it is determined whether or not a change target period such as from July 15 to July 17 is specified (step S204). If it is determined that a change target period is specified (Yes in step S204). ) The reservation time of the reserved program information is compared with the change target period, and it is determined whether or not the reservation is for the designated change target period (step S205). If it is determined in step S205 that the reservation is not for the designated change target period (No in step S205), the process goes to step S212.

  If it is determined in step S205 that the reservation is for the designated change target period (Yes in step S205), the broadcast area item of the reserved program information is compared with the current region, and the broadcast area is different from that at the time of reservation. It is determined whether or not it has moved (step S206).

  If it is determined in step S206 that the user has moved to a broadcast area different from that at the time of reservation (Yes in step S206), it is determined whether or not to change the reservation (step S207). Here, when changing the reservation, a key operation for changing the reservation is performed. When the reservation is changed (Yes in step S207), the program information of the moved broadcast area is acquired (step S208). Then, the acquired program information is searched to determine whether there is a program identical to the reserved program (step S209).

  If it is determined in step S209 that there is the same program as the reserved program (Yes in step S209), the reserved program information is updated (step S210), and the changed reserved program information is notified ( Step S213). Then, it is determined whether there is next reserved program information (step S212).

  If it is determined in step S209 that there is no program identical to the reserved program (No in step S209), it is notified that there is no program that can be reserved (step S213). In step S212, it is determined whether there is next reserved program information.

  If it is determined in step S206 that the user has not moved to an area different from the reservation (No in step S206), the reservation program information is not changed, and the process directly proceeds to step S212. If it is determined in step S207 that the reservation change is not selected (No in step S207), the reservation program information is not changed, and the process directly proceeds to step S212.

  If it is determined in step S212 that there is next reserved program information (Yes in step S212), the reserved program information of the next number is acquired from the reserved list (step S214), and the process returns to step S204.

  If it is determined in step S212 that there is no next reserved program information, the updated reservation list is displayed (step S215), and the process ends.

  In the above example, the change target period is set and the reserved program information within the change target period can be changed in the reserved program information. However, the change target exclusion period is set and the change target exclusion is included in the reserved program information. The reserved program information within the period may be excluded from the change target.

<Third Embodiment>
FIG. 8 shows a third embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, an update prohibition period can be set, and the program cannot be changed during the update prohibition period. For example, when moving from “Osaka” to “Tokyo”, the user moves to the broadcast area of “Tokyo” via the broadcast areas of “Nagoya” and “Shizuoka”. In this case, it is necessary to prevent the reserved program from being updated while moving in the broadcast area in transit. Therefore, in the third embodiment of the present invention, a period during which no reservation update is performed can be set. The period during which the reservation update is not performed can be set by the time from the current time, for example.

  In FIG. 8, it is determined whether or not to set a period during which no reservation update is performed (step S301). If the period for not performing the reservation update is not set (No in step S301), the process goes to step S306.

  When a period during which no reservation update is performed is set (Yes in step S301), an update prohibition period is set (step S302).

  Reservation program information that is reserved during the update prohibition period is searched from the reservation list, and notification is made that reservation is made during the update prohibition period for reserved program information that is reserved during the update prohibition period. (Step S303). Then, it is determined whether or not update prohibition is exceeded (step S304). If it is during the update prohibition period, a notification indicating that it is during the update prohibition period is displayed (step 305), and the process returns to step S304. Due to the loop of steps S304 and S305, the change of the reservation is prohibited during the update prohibition period.

  If it is determined in step S304 that the update prohibition period has been exceeded (Yes in step S304), the reservation list is read (step S306), and it is determined whether or not a reservation is made from the reservation list. (Step S307). If it is determined in step S307 that a reservation is made (Yes in step S307), the reserved program information of the first number is acquired from the reservation list (step S308). If it is determined in step S307 that no reservation has been made (No in step S307), the reservation change process is terminated.

  When the reserved program information is acquired in step S308, the broadcast area item of the reserved program information is compared with the current area, and it is determined whether or not the program has moved to a broadcast area different from the reservation time (step S309). .

  If it is determined in step S309 that the user is moving to a broadcast area different from that at the time of reservation (Yes in step S309), it is notified that the reservation is changed, and it is determined whether or not the reservation is changed (step S310). Here, when a reservation is changed, a key operation for reservation setting is performed. When the reservation is changed (Yes in step S310), the program information of the moved broadcast area is acquired (step S311). Then, the acquired program information is searched to determine whether there is a program identical to the reserved program (step S312).

  If it is determined in step S312 that there is the same program as the reserved program (Yes in step S312), the reserved program information is updated (step S313), and the changed reserved program information is notified ( Step S314). Then, it is determined whether there is next reserved program information (step S315).

  If it is determined in step S312 that there is no program identical to the reserved program (No in step S312), it is notified that there is no program that can be reserved (step S316). In step S315, it is determined whether there is next reserved program information.

  If it is determined in step S309 that the user has not moved to an area different from the reservation (No in step S309), the reserved program information is not changed, and the process goes to step S315 as it is. If it is selected in step S310 that the reservation is not changed (No in step S310), the reserved program information is not changed, and the process goes directly to step S315.

  If it is determined in step S315 that there is next reserved program information (Yes in step S315), the reserved program information of the next number is acquired from the reserved list (step S317), and the process returns to step S309.

  If it is determined in step S315 that there is no next reserved program information, the updated reservation list is displayed (step S318), and the process ends.

<Fourth Embodiment>
FIG. 9 shows a fourth embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the reservation change process is not performed during the movement. For example, when moving from “Osaka” to “Tokyo” by vehicle, it is necessary to prevent the reserved program from being updated while moving by vehicle. Therefore, in the fourth embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to make a setting not to perform reservation update during movement. Whether it is moving or not can be determined from, for example, position information from GPS or base station information.

  In FIG. 9, it is determined whether or not the setting is made so that the reservation update is not performed during the movement period (step S401). If it is set not to update the reservation during the movement period (Yes in step S401), it is determined whether or not the period during which the movement is not performed is a predetermined time or more (step S402). If the period of not moving is not longer than the predetermined time (No in step S402), it can be determined that the user is moving, and in this case, the process returns to step S402. Due to the loop of step S402, the reservation program changing process is prohibited during movement.

  If it is determined in step S402 that the period of not moving is equal to or longer than the predetermined time (Yes in step S402), it can be determined that the user is not moving. In this case, go to step S403. If it is determined in step S401 that the reservation update is not performed during the movement period (No in step S401), the process goes to step S403.

  In step S403, the reservation list is read (step S403), and it is determined whether or not a reservation is made from the reservation list (step S404). If no reservation is made (No in step S404), the reservation change process is terminated.

  If it is determined in step S404 that a reservation is made (Yes in step S404), the first reserved program information is acquired from the reservation list (step S405).

  When the reserved program information is acquired in step S405, the broadcast area item of the reserved program information is compared with the current area to determine whether or not the program has moved to a broadcast area different from that at the time of reservation (step S406). .

  If it is determined in step S406 that the user is moving to a broadcast area different from that at the time of reservation (Yes in step S406), it is notified that the reservation is changed, and it is determined whether or not the reservation is changed (step S407). Here, when a reservation is changed, a reservation change key operation is performed. When the reservation is changed (Yes in step S407), the program information of the moved area is acquired (step S408). Then, the acquired program information is searched to determine whether there is a program identical to the reserved program (step S409).

  If it is determined in step S409 that there is the same program as the reserved program (Yes in step S409), the reserved program information is updated (step S410), and the changed reserved program information is notified ( Step S411). Then, it is determined whether there is next reserved program information (step S412).

  If it is determined in step S409 that there is no program identical to the reserved program (No in step S409), it is notified that there is no program that can be reserved (step S413). In step S412, it is determined whether there is next reserved program information.

  If it is selected not to change the reservation in step S406 (No in step S406), the reservation program information is not changed, and the process goes to step S412 as it is. If it is determined in step S407 that the user has not moved to an area different from the reservation (No in step S407), the reserved program information is not changed, and the process directly proceeds to step S412.

  If it is determined in step S412 that there is next reserved program information (Yes in step S412), the reserved program information of the next number is acquired from the reserved list (step S414), and the process returns to step S406.

  If it is determined in step S412 that there is no next reserved program information, the updated reservation list is displayed (step S415), and the process ends.

<Fifth Embodiment>
FIG. 10 shows a flowchart of the reservation changing process according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, information on the area and date / time to be moved is acquired, and reservation change processing is performed using the information on the area / date / time to be moved. That is, the area and date / time to be moved are acquired from the calendar and schedule information, and the reservation changing process is performed using the area / date / time to be moved.

  As shown in FIG. 11, in the fifth embodiment of the present invention, the cellular phone terminal 1 is provided with a calendar and a schedule function. As shown in FIG. 11A, a display indicating that there is a schedule is performed on the calendar screen. As shown in FIG. 11B, the schedule screen displays details of the schedule.

  In the fifth embodiment of the present invention, the calendar and schedule information are extracted. From this calendar and schedule information, you can know the date and location of the move and the place to move. Then, program reservation change processing is performed using the travel date and time and the travel location obtained from the calendar and schedule information.

  In FIG. 10, a moving schedule is acquired from the calendar and schedule information (step S501). The date and time and the information on the moving location are acquired from the moving schedule of the calendar and schedule information.

  The reservation list is read (step S502), and it is determined from the reservation list whether a reservation is made (step S503). If no reservation has been made (No in step S503), the reservation change process is terminated.

  If it is determined in step S503 that a reservation has been made (Yes in step S102), the reserved program information of the first number is acquired from the reservation list (step S504).

  When the reserved program information is acquired, the reservation time and area items of the acquired reserved program information are compared with the date and time information obtained from the planned travel and the travel location information, and the reservation is executed at the planned travel destination. Is determined (step S505). If the reservation is not executed at the planned destination (No in step S505), the process goes to step S512.

  If the reservation is executed at the planned destination in step S505 (Yes in step S505), the planned destination is compared with the current location, and it is determined whether or not the destination has been moved (step S506). . If it is determined in step S506 that the location is the planned destination (Yes in step S506), it is determined whether to change the reservation (step S507). When changing the reservation, the key operation for changing the reservation is performed here. If the reservation is to be changed (Yes in step S507), the program information of the moved area is acquired (step 508). Then, the acquired program information is searched to determine whether there is a program identical to the reserved program (step S509).

  If it is determined in step S509 that there is the same program as the reserved program (Yes in step S509), the reserved program information is updated (step S510), and the changed reserved program information is notified ( Step S511). Then, it is determined whether there is next reserved program information (step S512).

  If it is determined in step S509 that there is no program identical to the reserved program (No in step S509), it is notified that there is no program that can be reserved (step S513). In step S512, it is determined whether there is next reserved program information.

  If the reservation is not executed at the planned destination in step S505, the reservation program information is not changed, and the process goes to step S512 as it is. If it is determined in step S506 that the user has not moved to the planned destination (No in step S506), the reserved program information is not changed, and the process directly proceeds to step S512.

  If it is determined in step S512 that there is next reserved program information (Yes in step S512), the reserved program information of the next number is acquired from the reserved list (step S514), and the process returns to step S505.

  If it is determined in step S512 that there is no next reserved program information, the updated reservation list is displayed (step S515), and the process ends.

  In this example, if the travel date and location are known from the calendar and schedule information, the program reservation change process is performed at the travel destination using the travel date and location obtained from the calendar and schedule information. However, before moving, it is also possible to acquire program information of the moving destination and perform program reservation change processing.
