Description

Television broadcast receiving apparatus, recording apparatus, reservation control program, and recording medium

Technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to a television broadcast receiving device, a recording device, a reservation control program, and a recording medium, and more specifically, repeatedly viewing or recording a program that is broadcast at a regularly determined time zone. The present invention relates to a television broadcast receiving apparatus, a recording apparatus, a reservation control program, and a recording medium having a repeated reservation function.

Background art

[0002] Conventionally, in a television broadcast receiver or recording device, a repetitive reservation function for repeatedly viewing or recording a program that is broadcast at regular time intervals such as daily or weekly has been used. ing. According to this repetitive reservation function, for example, when making a recording reservation for a continuous drama broadcast on 4 channels for 1 hour from 21:00 to 22:00 every Monday, the recording condition is “Every Monday, 21:00”. If you set "~ 22: 00, 4 channels" in advance, the recording will be repeated according to this recording condition, so the user will be broadcast on a fixed day of the week and time when it is not necessary to set the recording condition each time This is convenient when recording a program repeatedly.

[0003] However, since the above-described repetitive reservation function always operates at a predetermined time every week or every day, a regular program (reservation program) is not broadcast due to special news or special programs. Or, if the broadcast time of the reserved program is shifted, cancel or change the recording setting first, or execute the recording of the program broadcast instead of the reserved program, and delete unnecessary parts later. To deal with it, etc.

[0004] In addition, when the broadcast time of the reserved program is shifted as described above, the recording setting such as changing the recording end time of the reserved program after recording the program broadcast instead of the reserved program is performed. Needed to be done separately.

[0005] In addition, when a program such as a sports broadcast is scheduled instead of a reserved program, another program may be broadcast because the sport relay is canceled due to rain or the like. It was necessary to check the displayed program after recording.

[0006] On the other hand, for example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 6-56677 discloses a video tape recorder that can surely record even when the broadcast time of a recording-scheduled program is shifted. This is because many Western-style programs are broadcast in two languages, while baseball broadcasts are stereo broadcasts or monaural broadcasts. When the broadcast start time of a reserved program is delayed due to a broadcast extension, a new timer reservation is made so that it can be detected, the recording tape can be rewound, and the recording can be recorded until the broadcast end time shifted due to the delay. It is what I do.

Problems to be solved by the invention

[0007] However, the invention described in the above Japanese Patent Publication No. 6-56677 is based on the difference in audio type between two-language broadcasting and stereo broadcasting (or monaural broadcasting). (Broadcast), the delay of the broadcast start time is detected, so the delay cannot be detected for other audio types.

[0008] In addition, in digital television broadcasting, program information is transmitted by being superimposed on broadcast radio waves. Therefore, there is a mechanism that can use this program information to respond to program cancellation or change of broadcast time. However, until now, the above-mentioned repetitive reservation function and program information have not been fully linked, so repeated When the reserved program was not broadcast in the reservation, it was not possible to cope with the program change due to the special program without canceling the reservation repeatedly, such as canceling the recording only for that time.

[0009] Especially for programs that are broadcast instead when sports broadcasts are canceled due to rain, etc., no program information is sent in advance, so reservation settings are made based on the program information being sent out. Cannot be handled by the conventional reservation system.

In addition, there is a problem of manually canceling the setting of repeated reservations when the broadcast of a program that is broadcast periodically is completed.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration example of a television broadcast receiving system according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, 10 is a television broadcast receiving apparatus, 11 is an antenna, 12 is an operation input means, and 13 is Reference numeral 14 denotes a display device. In the figure, the dotted arrow indicates the flow of control, and the solid arrow indicates the signal flow.

[0032] The television broadcast receiving apparatus 10 includes a receiving means 101, a decoder 102, a reservation control means 10

3. Reservation setting means 104 is provided and connected to the display device 13 and the recording device 14. display The device 13 is a display device such as a cathode ray tube display (CRT) or a liquid crystal display (LCD). The recording device 14 records and reproduces broadcast programs using video tapes, magnetic disks, optical disks, memory cards, etc. as recording media. It is a recorder for doing.

The receiving means 101 is a tuner that receives and demodulates a broadcast signal via the antenna 11. The decoder 102 decodes the broadcast signal demodulated by the receiving means 101 to generate a video signal “audio signal”. When viewing a broadcast program, the video signal / audio signal decoded by the decoder 102 is output from the display device 13, while when recording a broadcast program, the video signal / audio signal decoded by the decoder 102 is recorded by the recording device. Recorded at 14.

[0034] The user operates the television broadcast receiving apparatus 10 using operation input means 12 (hereinafter, represented by the remote control 12) such as a remote control device (remote control) or a main body operation panel. Reservation setting means 104 displays a reservation setting screen in response to an operation signal from remote controller 12, and performs reservation settings such as reservation for viewing of a broadcast program or recording reservation in accordance with user input. The details of this reservation setting are shown in Fig. 3 below. The reservation control means 103 is a means for controlling the receiving means 101 and the decoder 102 based on the contents set by the reservation setting means 104, and is composed of a CPU, memory, etc. (not shown). This memory stores a reservation control program for executing the function as the television broadcast receiving apparatus 10 of the present invention, and this reservation control program is read and executed by the CPU.

[0035] The reservation control means 103 controls the receiving means 101, and when the reservation start time set by the reservation setting means 104 comes, sets the frequency of the channel reserved for the receiving means 101, and broadcasts it. Receive signal Z-demodulate. The reservation control means 103 controls the decoder 102 to generate a video signal “audio signal” from the broadcast signal demodulated by the receiving means 101 and outputs it to the display device 13 or the recording device 14. Further, the reservation control means 103 controls the recording device 14 to start and end the recording of the broadcast program based on the contents set by the reservation setting means 104.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart for explaining an example of the repeated reservation setting process by the television broadcast receiver 10 of the present invention. The repetitive reservation setting process in this example is a process mainly executed by the reservation setting means 104, and is broadcasted at a regularly determined time zone. This is a process for repeatedly watching a broadcast program or making a recording reservation.

[0037] First, the user operates the remote controller 12 to display the electronic program guide (EPG) shown in screen 1 (step Sl). Screen 1 is a display example of an electronic program guide, and shows an example of a program guide for broadcast stations A, B, and C from 20:00 to 22:00 on 10Z1 (Sat). It shows the focus on “Drama A-1” at 21:00.

[0038] Next, when changing the program to be reserved, the user operates the cursor button on the remote controller 12 to move the focus, and selects the desired program on the screen 1 (step S2). Press the OK button to display the reservation setting screen (screen 2) for the selected program (here “Drama A—1”) (step S3).

[0039] Next, the user operates the cursor button of the remote controller 12 on the screen 2, and selects a desired reservation type, that is, the medium power of "view", "record", and "do not reserve". Then (Step S4), the ENTER button on the remote controller 12 is pressed to display the repeated reservation setting screen (screen 3) for the selected reservation type (here, “Record”) (Step S5).

[0040] Next, the user operates the cursor button on the remote controller 12 on the screen 3 to perform a desired reservation method, that is, "once", "daily", "weekly", "Monday to Friday". , “Month to Saturday” is selected (Step S6). Screen 3 is used to select one-time reservation or the type of repeated reservation, and the reservation settings are as shown in Fig. 3 to be described later and hold setting information for repeated reservations. By such an operation, it is possible to set a reservation for recording or watching a program broadcast regularly such as every day, Monday to Saturday, Monday to Friday, every week. Also, by selecting “once”, you can also set up a reservation for one-time viewing or recording without repeating.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of repeated reservation setting information set by the reservation setting means 104. The repetitive reservation setting information set by the flow shown in FIG. 2 above, for example, excludes network, channel number, start date / time, end time, type, repeat, skip, change date / time, genre to be executed, exclude It consists of items such as genres. Note that the genre will be described later.

[0042] For example, the No. 3 broadcast program shown in Fig. 3 is a 81-channel digital terrestrial program. This program will start broadcasting from 19:00 to 19:57 on 10Z27 (Thursday) and every week Broadcast repeatedly on the same time on Thursday. According to this repetitive reservation setting information, since the recording of power 11Z3 scheduled for recording on Thursdays from 19:00 to 19:57 is broadcast in advance by special programs, etc., It is set to skip recording.

[0043] That is, since the reservation setting means 104 can be set so that a broadcast program of a specific number of times is viewed! /, Does not record !, it corresponds to a program change by a special program or the like without repeatedly canceling the reservation. be able to. The above skip setting process will be described later with reference to FIG.

[0044] For example, the No. 1 broadcast program shown in FIG. 3 is an 11-channel digital terrestrial program. This program will start broadcasting from 8:15 to 8:30 on 11Z2 (Wednesday), and will be broadcast repeatedly from Monday to Saturday. According to this repetitive reservation setting information, viewing reservations are made from 8:15 to 8:30 from Monday to Saturday, but in 11Z3 times, the broadcast time zone may be shifted by 15 minutes in advance due to special programs. Therefore, the viewing start time and end time are delayed by 15 minutes and set to 8:30 to 8:45.

That is, the reservation setting means 104 can change the start time and Z or end time of viewing or recording a specific number of broadcast programs, so that it can cope with a program change by a special program or the like without repeatedly canceling the reservation. Can do. The reservation start time and end time change setting process described above will be described later with reference to FIG.

Next, the flow of reservation processing based on repeated reservation settings will be described. The reservation process in this example is executed by the reservation control means 103 based on the contents set by the reservation setting means 104.

When reservation setting is performed by the reservation setting means 104, a reservation start timer for starting a reservation operation is set a predetermined time before the start time of the reserved program. This timer function is provided in the reservation control means 103, and is set a certain time before the reservation start time set by the reservation setting means 104. Here, the reason for setting the timer before a certain period of time is that there is enough time until the display device 13 or the recording device 14 is turned on and started up, and there is enough time to receive the broadcast and check the information of the reserved program. This is because the reservation operation starts.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart for explaining an operation example of the reservation processing by the television broadcast receiving apparatus 10 of the present invention. First, the user operates the remote control 12 to broadcast television. The receiving device 10 is instructed to turn on the output device (display device 13 or recording device 14) (step S11). Next, the television broadcast receiver 10 determines whether or not the reservation program is repeatedly reserved (step S12). If it is determined that the reservation program is repeatedly reserved (in the case of Y ES), the reservation start time of the reserved program is reached. If the reservation start time is reached (YES), the reserved channel is selected and displayed (viewing) on the display device 13 or the recording device 14 is instructed to start recording. (Step S16), the timer is set at the reservation end time (Step S17). On the other hand, if the reservation start time is not reached in step S13 (NO), the process waits until the reservation start time is reached in step S13.

[0049] Also, in step S12, the television broadcast receiving apparatus 10 determines that the reserved program is repeated and is not a reserved one-time reservation (in the case of NO), selects the reserved channel and selects the program. The information power also monitors the start of the program (step S14). Next, it is confirmed from the program information whether the reserved program has started broadcasting (step S15). If the program start is confirmed (YES), the process proceeds to step S16 and the above-described processing is performed.

[0050] If the program start is not confirmed in step S15 (in the case of NO), the program information of the reservation program also determines whether the program reservation start time has been changed (step S15). S18), if the reservation start time has been changed (in the case of YES), the reservation timer is reset with the changed reservation start time and end time (step S 19), and the display device 13 or recording device 14 is To turn off the power and end the process (step S20). In step S18, if the reservation start time has not been changed (in the case of NO), it is determined that the reservation start time has not been reached, and the process returns to step S15 to repeat the processing.

[0051] It should be noted that even in the case of a single reservation in step S12 (in the case of NO), it is also possible to adopt a process that proceeds to step S13 without proceeding to step S14. However, in this case, it becomes impossible to follow the change of the broadcast time based on the program information.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart for explaining another operation example of the reservation processing by the television broadcast receiving apparatus 10 of the present invention. First, according to the reservation end timer, the television broadcast receiving apparatus 10 instructs the display device 13 to end the display or the recording device 14 to end the recording when the reservation end time is reached (step S21). Subsequently, the display device 13 Or recording device 14 Is turned off (step S22).

[0053] Next, the television broadcast receiver 10 determines whether or not the reserved program is repeatedly reserved (step S23). If it is determined that the reserved program is repeatedly reserved (in the case of YES), the next reservation start date and time is determined. And a reservation start timer is set (step S24). The date and time to be set in this reservation start timer is set to a certain time before the program start as described above. Also, in step S23, if it is determined that the reservation is not a repeated reservation but only once (in the case of NO), the process ends without setting the timer.

This additional information is information other than video 'sound, and includes, for example, program information (including genre information) related to a program, audio type information, video type information, and the presence / absence of caption information.

The decoder 203 decodes the broadcast signal demodulated by the digital broadcast receiving means 201 to generate a video signal “audio signal”. When viewing a digital broadcast program, the video signal / audio signal decoded by the decoder 203 is output from the display device 23, while the digital broadcast program is displayed. When the video signal is recorded, the video signal / audio signal decoded by the decoder 203 is recorded in the recording device 24. At this time, the recording control means 206 performs control of the power source of the recording device 24, recording and playback start / end control, and the like.

Similar to the configuration shown in FIG. 1 described above, the user operates the television broadcast receiving apparatus 20 using the operation input means 22 (hereinafter referred to as the remote controller 22). The reservation setting means 205 displays a reservation setting screen in response to an operation signal from the remote controller 22, and performs reservation settings such as a broadcast program viewing reservation or a recording reservation according to a user input. The contents of this reservation setting are the same as those shown in FIG. The reservation control means 204 is a means for controlling the digital broadcast receiving means 201 and the decoder 203 based on the contents set by the reservation setting means 205, and is composed of a CPU, memory, etc. (not shown). ing. This memory stores a reservation control program for executing the function as the television broadcast receiving apparatus 20 of the present invention, and this reservation control program is read and executed by the CPU.

[0060] The reservation control unit 204 controls the digital broadcast receiving unit 201 to set the frequency of the channel set for reservation to the digital broadcast receiving unit 201 when the reservation start time set by the reservation setting unit 205 is reached. The broadcast signal is received and Z-demodulated. Further, the reservation control means 204 controls the decoder 203 to generate a video signal / audio signal from the broadcast signal demodulated by the digital broadcast receiving means 201 and output it to the display device 23 or the recording device 24. In addition, the reservation control unit 204 controls the recording control unit 206 to control the recording device 24 to start and end the recording of the broadcast program based on the contents set by the reservation setting unit 205.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart for explaining an example of the skip setting process by the television broadcast receiving apparatus 20 of the present invention. First, the user operates the remote controller 22 to display the reservation setting list shown in the screen 4 on the display device 23 (step S31). This screen 4 is an example of a reservation setting list display. Three reservation setting information (repeated reservation 1, 2 and one-time reservation 3) are registered! .

[0062] Next, when changing the reservation setting information of a program that has been repeatedly reserved, the user operates the cursor button on the remote controller 22 to move the focus on the screen 4 to set the desired reservation setting. Information (here, reservation 2) is selected (step S32), and the determination button on the remote controller 22 is pressed to display the reservation change screen (screen 5) corresponding to reservation 2 (step S33). Screen 5 displays “Skip once”, “Change time once”, and “Do not change” as the contents to be changed.

[0063] Next, the user operates the cursor button on the remote controller 22 to select the item "Skip once" from the screen 5 (step S34), and presses the enter button on the remote controller 22. , Display the repeat reservation change screen (screen 6) corresponding to "skip once" (step S35). Next, the user operates the remote controller 22 to select a date from the screen 6, inputs and sets the date and time to be skipped, and determines the setting item (step S36). This makes it possible to skip a set repeated reservation only once.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart for explaining an operation example of the skip processing by the television broadcast receiving apparatus 20 of the present invention. When the repeated reservation and skip once are set according to the procedure described in FIGS. 2 and 7, the next reservation execution time is calculated and the reservation start timer is set.

[0065] First, the television broadcast receiving device 20 calculates the reservation execution date and time next to the current date and time of the repeated reservation (step S41). As described above, the reservation execution start time has sufficient time until the display device 23 or the recording device 24 is turned on and started up, and there is enough time to receive the broadcast and confirm the information of the reserved program. Taking this into account, calculate a certain time before the start time of the reserved program. Next, the television broadcast receiving device 20 compares the date and time calculated in step S41 with the date and time set to “Skip once” (step S42). If "Skip once" is not set or does not match the date and time set to "Skip once" (if NO), set the reservation start timer with the calculated reservation execution start date ( Step S43). If it matches the date and time set to “Skip once” in step S42 (in the case of YES), the process returns to step S41, and the next reservation execution time is calculated and compared again.

[0066] This allows repeated reservations to be skipped only once, so that programs that are broadcast regularly, such as every week or every day, may be suspended due to special programs or sports broadcasts. Therefore, it is possible to cope with program broadcast suspension without repeatedly canceling the reservation. FIG. 9 is a flowchart for explaining an example of the reservation time change setting process by the television broadcast receiver 20 of the present invention. Here, a description will be given with reference to FIGS. The flow up to the point where screen 5 is displayed in step S33 shown in FIG. 7 is the same as the flow shown in FIG.

[0068] First, the television broadcast receiver 20 operates the cursor button on the remote controller 22 with the screen 5 displayed, and selects the item "change time once" shown on the screen 7 (step S51). ), And presses the OK button on the remote controller 22 to display the repeated reservation change screen (screen 8) corresponding to “change time once” (step S52). Next, the user operates the remote controller 22 to select the month, day, start time, and end time from the screen 8, input and set the desired date and time to be changed, and determine the setting item (step S53). ). As a result, it is possible to change the time of the set repeat reservation once.

FIG. 10 is a flowchart for explaining an operation example of the reservation time changing process by the television broadcast receiving apparatus 20 of the present invention. Here, if the repeated reservation setting and the one-time change setting are performed according to the procedure described with reference to FIGS. 2, 7, and 9, the next reservation execution time is calculated and the reservation start is started. Set the timer.

First, the television broadcast receiving device 20 calculates the reservation execution date and time next to the current date and time of the repeated reservation (step S61). As described above, this reservation execution start time has a time margin until the display device 23 or the recording device 24 is turned on and started up, and a time margin for receiving the broadcast and confirming the information of the reserved program. Taking this into account, calculate a certain time before the start time of the reserved program. Next, the television broadcast receiving apparatus 20 compares the date and time calculated in step S61 with the date and time set to “time change once” (step S62). If "Change time once" is not set and does not match the date and time set in "Change time once" (in the case of NO), set the reservation start timer with the calculated reservation execution start date ( Step S64). In step S62, if it matches the date and time set in “change time once” (in the case of YES), the changed start / end time is set in the reservation timer (step S63).

[0071] As a result, it is possible to change the time for a repetitive reservation only once, so that a program that is broadcast regularly, such as every week or every day, is changed in time by a special program or sports broadcast. In this case, it is possible to cope with program broadcast suspension without repeatedly canceling the reservation.

FIG. 11 is a flowchart for explaining an example of genre designation reservation setting processing by the television broadcast receiving apparatus 20 of the present invention. Here, description will be made based on FIG. 2 and FIG. The flow up to the point where screen 3 is displayed in step S6 shown in FIG. 2 is the same as the flow shown in FIG.

[0073] First, when the television broadcast receiving apparatus 20 repeatedly selects a reservation method on screen 3, a genre designation method selection screen shown on screen 9 is displayed (step S71). Screen 9 is a screen for designating the genre for the reserved program, and displays the items “genre designation”, “genre exclusion”, and “genre match” in a selectable manner. The desired genre designation method is selected from the screen 9 by operating the power of 22 (Step S72), which shows the state where “exclude genre” is selected. It is possible to set repetitive program reservations, and the genre information set on this screen 9 is reflected in the repetitive reservation setting information shown in FIG.

The screen 9 for specifying the genre described above is displayed on the display device 23 by the reservation setting means 205. When the “genre specification” on the screen 9 is selected, the reservation setting means 205 is reserved for viewing or recording. Set the genre information of the broadcast program that executes. Further, the reservation control means 204, when the genre information set by the reservation setting means 205 and the genre information included in the program information detected by the additional information detection means 202 are different, view or record the broadcast program in which the program information is detected. Shina, control as. By specifying the genre (for example, drama) of the reserved program in this way, only the program of the specified genre is reserved for viewing or recording, and the program of the genre other than the specified genre, for example, the program of the reserved program is broadcast. Even if the broadcast is canceled, you can watch it only once! You can cancel the recording.

In addition, when “exclude genre” on the screen 9 is selected, the reservation setting unit 205 sets genre information of a broadcast program without executing viewing reservation or recording reservation. When the genre information set by the reservation setting unit 205 and the genre information included in the program information detected by the additional information detection unit 202 match, the reservation control unit 204 releases the program information detected. Controls not to watch or record the transmitted program. In this way, by specifying the genre of a program other than the reserved program (for example, sports), only the program other than the specified genre is reserved for viewing or recording, and the program is scheduled to be canceled by, for example, sports broadcasting. In this case, by designating the genre (sports) of this sports broadcast, it is possible to view or record a program that is broadcast instead when the sports broadcast is canceled due to rainy weather or the like.

FIG. 12 is a flowchart for explaining an operation example of genre designation reservation processing by the television broadcast receiving apparatus 20 of the present invention. Here, it is assumed that “genre designation” on screen 9 shown in FIG. 11 is designated. When repeated reservation setting and genre specification setting are performed according to the procedure described above based on FIG. 2 and FIG. 11, the next reservation execution time is calculated and the reservation start timer is set. .

[0077] First, the television broadcast receiving device 20 instructs the display device 23 or the recording device 24, which is an output device, to turn on the power (step S81), selects a reserved channel, and program information thereof. The power also monitors the start of the program (step S82). Next, the television transmission / reception device 20 determines whether or not the reserved program start time has come (step S83), and if it has reached the reserved start time (in the case of YES), acquires the program information of the received program (Step S84).

[0078] Next, the television broadcast receiving device 20 compares the received program genre information included in the program information with the genre information to be reserved (step S85). In this case, the video signal of the received program is started to display the audio signal on the display device 23 or the recording device 24 is instructed to start recording (step S86), and the reservation program end time is set to the reservation end timer. To end the process (step S87).

[0079] On the other hand, when the television broadcast receiving apparatus 20 is different in step S85,

(In the case of inconsistency in the figure), the display device 23 or the recording device 24 which is an output device is instructed to turn off the power so as not to perform viewing or recording (step S88). Next, the television broadcast receiver 20 determines whether the reserved program is repeatedly reserved (step S89). If the reserved program is repeatedly reserved (YES), the reservation timer is reset at the next start time and processed. Is terminated (step S90). In step S89, the process is repeated. If it is not a recurring reservation but only a single reservation (in the case of NO), the process is terminated as it is.

[0080] This makes it possible to make repeated reservations by specifying a genre, so that a program that is regularly broadcast, such as weekly or daily, is changed to a program of a different genre such as a special program or sports broadcast, and the program is reserved Even if the program is suspended, it is possible to automatically respond to the suspended program broadcast without canceling the reservation repeatedly.

FIG. 13 is a flowchart for explaining another operation example of the genre designation reservation processing by the television broadcast receiving apparatus 20 of the present invention. Here, it is assumed that “Gene Exclusion” on screen 9 shown in FIG. 11 is specified. When repeated reservation setting and genre exclusion setting are performed according to the procedure described above based on FIGS. 2 and 11, the next reservation execution time is calculated and the reservation start timer is set.

[0082] First, the television broadcast receiver 20 instructs the display device 23 or the recording device 24, which is an output device, to turn on the power (step S91), selects a reserved channel, and program information thereof. The power also monitors the start of the program (step S92). Next, the television transmission / reception device 20 determines whether or not the reserved program start time has come (step S93), and if the reserved start time has come (YES), acquires the program information of the received program. (Step S94).

[0083] Next, the television broadcast receiver 20 compares the received program genre information included in the program information with the genre information not to be reserved (excluded) (step S95). In the case of discrepancy in the figure, the video signal of the received program 'sound signal is displayed on the display device 23 or the recording device 24 is instructed to start recording (step S96), and the reserved program ends. The time is set in the reservation end timer and the process ends (step S97).

[0084] On the other hand, if the two match in step S95 (if they match in the figure), the television broadcast receiver 20 instructs the display device 23 or the recording device 24 that is the output device to turn off the power. To control not to perform viewing or recording (step S98). Next, the television broadcast receiver 20 determines whether the reserved program is repeatedly reserved (step S99). If the reserved program is repeatedly reserved (YES), the reservation timer is reset at the next start time and processed. Is terminated (step S100). In step S99, If the reservation is not a repeated reservation but only once (in the case of NO), the process is terminated as it is.

[0085] This makes it possible to make a reservation repeatedly excluding the genre, so it cannot be selected from the electronic program guide presented in advance, but when a program such as a special program or a sports broadcast is suspended. Instead, the program broadcast can be viewed or recorded.

[0086] In the above description, the program information (genre information) is used to determine that the reserved program has been changed to another program. However, the present invention is not limited to this determination method. . In addition to the program information, the additional information detection unit 202 confirms that the reserved program has been changed to another program based on information superimposed on the broadcast signal, such as audio type information, video type information, and caption information. Let's make a distinction.

[0087] When using the audio type information, the audio is monaural, dual audio such as Nike, stereo, 5. lch surround, multiple stereo audio, etc., or standard audio quality, high audio quality identification, audio sampling rate You can select either 32kHz or 48kHz power and language such as Japanese or foreign language. Also, as the audio type information, a character string indicating the audio type, for example, a character string such as “塁” or “actual situation” in “one-side live commentary voice” is searched, and the reserved program is determined by the presence or absence. You may make it discriminate | determine that it was changed into this program.

In this case, a screen (not shown) for designating the voice type is displayed on the display device 23 by the reservation setting unit 205, and the reservation setting unit 205 displays the “voice type designation” on the voice type designation screen. When "" is selected, the viewing reservation is set for the audio type information of the broadcast program that executes the recording reservation. Further, the reservation control means 204, when the audio type information set by the reservation setting means 205 and the audio type information detected by the additional information detection means 202 are different, view or record a broadcast program in which the audio type information is detected. Shina, control as. In this way, by specifying the audio type of the reserved program (for example, dual audio such as Nike language), only the program of the specified audio type is reserved for viewing! Even when the broadcast of a reserved program is canceled due to an audio type program such as a sports broadcast, viewing or recording can be canceled only that time.

[0089] Reservation setting means 205 sets the audio type information of the broadcast program without executing the viewing reservation or the recording reservation when "exclude audio type" on the audio type designation screen is selected. The reservation control unit 204 detects the voice type information set by the reservation setting unit 205 and the additional information detection. When the audio type information detected by the output means 202 is inconsistent, control is performed so as not to view or record the broadcast program in which the audio type information is detected. In this way, by specifying the audio type of a program other than the reserved program (for example, monaural Z stereo), only the program other than the specified audio type is reserved for viewing or recording, for example, by a sports broadcast or the like. If the program is scheduled to be canceled, specify the audio type for this sports broadcast (monaural Z stereo) to watch or record the program that will be broadcast if the sports broadcast is canceled due to rainy weather be able to.

[0090] When the video type information is used, it may be selected whether the video is monochrome, color, clear vision, high vision or the like, 4: 3 video, 16: 9 video, or the like.

[0091] In this case, a screen (not shown) for designating the video type is displayed on the display device 23 by the reservation setting unit 205, and the reservation setting unit 205 displays the "video type designation" on the video type designation screen. When “is selected, there is a viewing reservation! ヽ sets the video type information of the broadcast program for which the recording reservation is executed. The reservation control unit 204 also views or records a broadcast program in which the video type information is detected when the video type information set by the reservation setting unit 205 is different from the video type information detected by the additional information detection unit 202. Shina, control as. By designating the video type of the reserved program in this way, only the program of the designated video type is reserved for viewing or recording, and the program of a video type other than the designated video type, such as a sport relay, is used. Even if the scheduled program broadcast is canceled, the recording can be canceled if it is watched only that time.

[0092] Reservation setting means 205 sets video type information of a broadcast program without executing viewing reservation or recording reservation when "exclude video type" on the video type designation screen is selected. When the video type information set by the reservation setting unit 205 matches the video type information detected by the additional information detection unit 202, the reservation control unit 204 views or records the broadcast program in which the video type information is detected. Control it like this. In this way, by specifying the video type of a program other than the reserved program, there is a viewing reservation only for a program other than the specified video type, or when the recording reservation is executed, for example, when the program is scheduled to be canceled due to sports broadcast etc. By designating the sports broadcast video type, it is possible to view or record a program broadcast when the sports broadcast is canceled due to the influence of rain or the like. [0093] It is also possible to select whether or not the caption is superimposed. In this case, a screen (not shown) for specifying the presence / absence of subtitles is displayed on the display device 23 by the reservation setting unit 205, and the reservation setting unit 205 selects “subtitle presence / absence designation” on the subtitle presence / absence designation screen. Then, the presence / absence of subtitles for a broadcast program for which viewing reservation or recording reservation is executed is set. Further, the reservation control means 204 views a broadcast program in which the presence / absence of subtitles is detected if the presence / absence of subtitles set by the reservation setting means 205 is different from the presence / absence of subtitles detected by the additional information detection means 202! Shina, control as. In this way, by specifying the presence or absence of subtitles in a reserved program, viewing reservations are only made for programs with or without the specified subtitles, recording reservations are executed, and programs other than those with specified subtitles, such as sports broadcasts, etc. Even if the broadcast is canceled, viewing or recording can be canceled only for that time.

[0094] In addition, it may be selected whether the subtitle language information matches or does not match based on the presence or absence of subtitles. If there are multiple subtitles, select whether any subtitles match or do not match the specified language, select whether the subtitles in the specified order match or do not match the specified language, or are some of the subtitles You may choose to match or not match a combination of multiple languages, all of which are specified.

Further, when “Subtitle Exclusion Exclusion” is selected on the subtitle presence / absence designation screen, the reservation setting means 205 sets the presence / absence of subtitles in a broadcast program that does not execute viewing reservation or recording reservation. When the presence / absence of subtitles set by the reservation setting unit 205 matches the presence / absence of subtitles detected by the additional information detection unit 202, the reservation control unit 204 does not view or record a broadcast program that has detected the presence / absence of subtitles. And so on. In this way, by specifying the presence / absence of subtitles for programs other than reserved programs, viewing reservations or recording reservations are executed only for programs other than the specified subtitles. For example, if a program is scheduled to be canceled due to sports broadcasts, etc. By specifying the presence or absence of subtitles for sports broadcasts, it is possible to view or record programs that are broadcast when sports broadcasts are canceled due to rainy weather.

[0096] In addition, when the program information is used for repeated viewing! /, A broadcast program that is broadcast at a regularly determined time period for which a recording reservation setting has been set has been completed. By detecting it, it is possible to cancel (delete) the reservation setting for repeated viewing or recording. As a specific method for detecting the end of periodic broadcasting, for example, program information When the character string of the program title of the information is searched and the character string of “Last time” is detected, or the character code of “End” (code 7A6D, Kuten code: 9077) is detected. It may be determined that the regular broadcast is over. ヽ (Nippon Radio Industries Association, Digital Terrestrial Television Broadcasting Operation Technical Specifications ARIB TR-B14 Volume 4 Terrestrial Digital Television Broadcasting PSIZSI Operational Regulations Table E— (See 1).
