Based on the configuration shown in the examples of FIGS. 1 and 2, K performs program information processing such as searching by specifying program contents using the broadcast program extraction processing device of the present invention. A cassette tape containing program data is set in the cassette recorder 13 and played back, inputted to the input section 5 of the program information processing 1 as a program data signal 6, and then inputted as a program data signal 6 under the control of the micro combiator 7. A group of program data 6 is stored in a data storage section 3. Thereafter, by operating the keyboard 2, one or more television program content identification codes corresponding to the designated content are input into the microcomputer 7, and the program data group stored in the data storage section 3 is searched. As a result of the search, six groups of program data having identification codes that match the identification code specified by the keyboard 2 are extracted, and based on the coded data of each of the six extracted program data groups, processing of the microcomputer 7 is performed. It outputs output data 8 and a control signal 9 for controlling peripheral devices (TV, VTR, etc.) via an output unit 10.

Here, when the search data is displayed by the television receiver 11, the data code of the searched and output program code data group is decoded, and a short sentence representing the program content is displayed, the broadcast date and time, the broadcast channel, etc. is displayed on the screen as letters and numbers. When the VTR 12 is controlled by the searched output data 8 and the control signal 9 and automatic recording is performed by specifying the program contents, the micro combiator 7 searches and extracts the program contents by matching the program contents specifying code. The six groups of program data are decoded, and the broadcast date, broadcast start time, broadcast end time, etc. are compared point by point with the current date and time data input from the clock section 4. As a result, at 1 o'clock on the matching date, the control signal 9 for broadcasting channel selection commands, recording start, recording stop, etc. is set to V.
'J' is applied to R12, and the television program with the specified program content is automatically recorded.
