　また、本実施形態では、特定の条件下での発声は、自由評価（コメント）を表す評価内容情報の入力として検出される。例えば、コメントの入力開始操作（例えば、リモコン３や携帯装置４での特定の操作、特定のジェスチャー、特定のキーワードの発声）を行うと、その後に発声した内容が、自由評価を表す評価内容情報の入力として検出される。この場合、例えば、リモコン３の操作、顔認識、音声認識、操作した携帯装置４などにより評価者情報が特定され、入力開始操作が行われた時点を基準として評価対象情報が特定される。 <2-1-4. Voice of comment>
Moreover, in this embodiment, the utterance under specific conditions is detected as input of the evaluation content information showing free evaluation (comment). For example, when a comment input start operation (for example, a specific operation on the remote controller 3 or the portable device 4, a specific gesture, a specific keyword utterance) is performed, the content of the utterance after that indicates evaluation content information representing a free evaluation Detected as input. In this case, for example, the evaluator information is specified by the operation of the remote controller 3, face recognition, voice recognition, the operated portable device 4 and the like, and the evaluation target information is specified based on the time point when the input start operation is performed.
　＜２－１－５．携帯装置の操作＞
　また、ユーザは、携帯装置４の操作により、評価内容情報及び評価者情報を入力することができる。具体的には、例えば携帯装置４で動作する評価送信用のアプリケーションにより、リモコン３の操作部（図５参照）と同様の操作部が携帯装置４の表示画面に表示され、タッチパネルによるタッチ操作などにより評価内容情報及び評価者情報の入力が可能となる。この場合、例えば、携帯装置４の識別情報又は操作内容により評価者情報が特定され、操作が行われた時点を基準として評価対象情報が特定される。 <2-1-5. Operation of portable device>
Further, the user can input the evaluation content information and the evaluator information by operating the portable device 4. Specifically, for example, an operation unit similar to the operation unit (see FIG. 5) of the remote controller 3 is displayed on the display screen of the portable device 4 by an application for evaluation transmission that operates on the portable device 4, and a touch operation using a touch panel, etc. Thus, it is possible to input evaluation content information and evaluator information. In this case, for example, the evaluator information is specified by the identification information or the operation content of the mobile device 4, and the evaluation target information is specified on the basis of the time when the operation is performed.
　＜２－２．推測に基づく入力方法＞
　一方、推測に基づく入力方法としては、ユーザの表情に基づく推測や、ユーザの笑い声に基づく推測などが挙げられる。 <2-2. Input method based on guess>
On the other hand, examples of the input method based on guess include guess based on the user's facial expression and guess based on the user's laughter.
　すなわち、撮影データに基づきユーザの表情を解析し、何らかの感情が検出された場合に、感情評価を表す評価内容情報の入力として検出される。この場合、例えば、顔認識により評価者情報が特定され、感情が検出された時点を基準として評価対象情報が特定される。 That is, the user's facial expression is analyzed based on the shooting data, and when some emotion is detected, it is detected as input of evaluation content information representing emotion evaluation. In this case, for example, the evaluator information is specified by face recognition, and the evaluation target information is specified based on the point in time when the emotion is detected.
　また、ユーザによる笑い声が、笑いの感情評価を表す評価内容情報の入力として検出される。この場合、例えば、顔認識により評価者情報が特定され、笑い声が検出された時点を基準として評価対象情報が特定される。 Also, a laughing voice by the user is detected as an input of evaluation content information representing a feeling evaluation of laughter. In this case, for example, the evaluator information is specified by face recognition, and the evaluation target information is specified on the basis of the point in time when the laughter is detected.
　［１－１－２－４．録画再生処理部］
　録画再生処理部９４は、放送録画処理部９２により録画された放送番組（録画番組）を選択可能に表示する処理（録画表示処理）と、選択された放送番組を再生する処理と、を録画再生処理（後述する図１５～図１８の処理）として行う。録画表示処理が行われると、放送番組に関する情報と、放送番組に関する視聴者による評価と、がテレビ１の表示画面において関連付けて表示される。すなわち、録画再生処理部９４は、放送番組に関する視聴者による評価を表す評価データを外部のサーバ２から取得し、放送番組に関する情報と、評価データの表す評価であって放送番組に関する評価と、を関連付けて表示する処理を、録画表示処理として行う。 [1-1-2-4. Recording / playback processor]
The recording / playback processing unit 94 performs recording / playback of processing (recording display processing) for selectively displaying the broadcast program (recorded program) recorded by the broadcast recording processing unit 92 and processing for playing back the selected broadcast program. This is performed as processing (the processing of FIGS. 15 to 18 described later). When the recording display process is performed, information related to the broadcast program and evaluation by the viewer regarding the broadcast program are displayed in association with each other on the display screen of the television 1. That is, the recording / playback processing unit 94 obtains evaluation data representing an evaluation by the viewer regarding the broadcast program from the external server 2, and obtains information regarding the broadcast program and an evaluation represented by the evaluation data and regarding the broadcast program. The process of displaying in association is performed as a recording display process.
　具体的には、録画再生処理部９４は、録画表示処理において、図６に示すように、全番組録画機能で録画された複数の放送番組（録画番組）に関する情報を、番組表形式で表示する。この番組表において、何らかの評価がされている放送番組（図６の例ではＰ１，Ｐ２）は、評価が全くされていない放送番組とは異なる色で表示される。つまり、録画再生処理部９４は、放送番組ごとの評価の有無を視認可能な表示態様で放送番組（録画番組）を一覧表示する処理を行う。また、この番組表においては、後述するおすすめ番組が、おすすめ番組以外とは異なる表示態様（例えば、文字の太さが異なる表示態様や、特定のアイコンが付された表示態様など）で表示される。 Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, the recording / playback processing unit 94 displays information on a plurality of broadcast programs (recorded programs) recorded by the all program recording function in a program table format in the recording display process. . In this program guide, broadcast programs that have been evaluated in some way (P1, P2 in the example of FIG. 6) are displayed in a different color from broadcast programs that have not been evaluated at all. That is, the recording / playback processing unit 94 performs a process of displaying a list of broadcast programs (recorded programs) in a display mode in which the presence or absence of evaluation for each broadcast program can be visually recognized. In this program guide, recommended programs to be described later are displayed in a display mode different from that other than the recommended program (for example, a display mode with a different character thickness or a display mode with a specific icon). .
　この番組表において、評価が存在する放送番組の１つを指定する指定操作（例えばポインタを重ねる操作や、カーソルを位置させる操作）が行われると、第１のポップアップ画面Ｗ１が出現し、評価内容情報の少なくとも一部についての詳細が表示される。例えば、定形評価の項目ごとの（図６の例では、「いいね！」、「よくないね」、「おもしろい」、「感動」、「怒り」、「驚き」の６項目についての）評価数が表示される。そして、第１のポップアップ画面Ｗ１において、評価項目の１つを指定する指定操作が行われると、第２のポップアップ画面Ｗ２が出現し、指定した評価項目の評価者であるユーザについての評価者情報が表示される。ここで表示される評価者情報としては、例えば、顔写真、氏名、ユーザ名、ユーザＩＤ、アイコン、アバター、性別、年齢層、家族における位置づけ等の情報が挙げられる。 In this program guide, when a specifying operation (for example, an operation of overlapping a pointer or an operation of positioning a cursor) for specifying one of broadcast programs with an evaluation is performed, the first pop-up screen W1 appears, and the evaluation contents Details about at least some of the information are displayed. For example, the number of evaluations for each item of the standard evaluation (in the example of FIG. 6, for the six items “Like”, “Not good”, “Interesting”, “Impression”, “Anger”, “Surprise”) Is displayed. Then, when a designation operation for designating one of the evaluation items is performed on the first pop-up screen W1, the second pop-up screen W2 appears, and evaluator information about the user who is the evaluator of the designated evaluation item. Is displayed. As evaluator information displayed here, information, such as a face photograph, a full name, a user name, a user ID, an icon, an avatar, sex, an age group, and the position in a family, is mentioned, for example.
　さらに、第２のポップアップ画面Ｗ２において、評価者情報の１つを指定する指定操作が行われると、放送番組における、指定したユーザが放送番組において評価対象とした場面、具体的には、評価が紐付けされた時点を含む一部分、のダイジェスト再生が行われる。本実施形態では、この操作を「ダイジェスト再生操作」という。ダイジェスト再生操作が行われると、記憶ユニット１６に記憶されている放送データ（録画データ）の表す放送番組の一部期間が、再生ユニット１８により再生される。ダイジェスト再生を行う期間は、例えば、評価を行った時点の一定時間前（例えば１０秒前）から、評価を行った時点の一定時間後（例えば５秒後）までとしてもよい。つまり、ダイジェスト再生によれば、放送番組における他のユーザが評価を行った部分（換言すれば、放送番組の見所）を簡易的に視聴することができる。 Further, when a designation operation for designating one of the evaluator information is performed on the second pop-up screen W2, a scene that the designated user in the broadcast program is to be evaluated in the broadcast program, specifically, the evaluation is performed. Digest playback of a part including the linked time is performed. In the present embodiment, this operation is referred to as “digest playback operation”. When the digest playback operation is performed, a part of the broadcast program represented by the broadcast data (recorded data) stored in the storage unit 16 is played back by the playback unit 18. The period for performing digest reproduction may be, for example, from a certain time before the evaluation is performed (for example, 10 seconds before) to a certain time after the evaluation is performed (for example, after 5 seconds). That is, according to the digest reproduction, it is possible to simply view a portion (in other words, a highlight of the broadcast program) that has been evaluated by another user in the broadcast program.
　また、録画再生処理部９４は、放送番組を選択する選択操作が行われると、放送番組の全期間を再生する通常再生を行う。本実施形態では、この操作を「通常再生操作」という。通常再生操作が行われると、記憶ユニット１６に記憶されている放送データ（録画データ）の表す放送番組が、再生ユニット１８により再生される。そして、放送番組の再生中は、放送番組の映像及び音声に加え、放送番組の場面に紐付けされている評価が表示される。例えば図７に示すように、再生ユニット１８の表示画面において、放送番組の映像に重畳される形で、定形評価や自由評価が表示される。図７に示す例では、定形評価がアイコンで表示され、自由評価（コメント）及び評価者情報が吹き出しで表示される。なお、図７に示す表示態様は一例であり、種々の表示態様が可能である。例えば、単に着目すべきシーンであることだけを表すアイコン（例えば付箋のアイコン）が表示されるようにしてもよい。 Also, when a selection operation for selecting a broadcast program is performed, the recording / playback processing unit 94 performs normal playback for playing back the entire period of the broadcast program. In this embodiment, this operation is referred to as “normal playback operation”. When a normal reproduction operation is performed, a broadcast program represented by broadcast data (recorded data) stored in the storage unit 16 is reproduced by the reproduction unit 18. During the reproduction of the broadcast program, the evaluation associated with the scene of the broadcast program is displayed in addition to the video and audio of the broadcast program. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, on the display screen of the playback unit 18, the fixed form evaluation and the free evaluation are displayed in a form superimposed on the video of the broadcast program. In the example shown in FIG. 7, the standard evaluation is displayed as an icon, and the free evaluation (comment) and the evaluator information are displayed as a balloon. Note that the display mode illustrated in FIG. 7 is an example, and various display modes are possible. For example, an icon (for example, a sticky note icon) indicating only a scene to be noticed may be displayed.
　［１－１－２－５．選定処理部］
　選定処理部９５は、放送録画処理部９２により録画された放送番組（記憶ユニット１６に記憶されている録画データ）の中から、ユーザに応じた放送番組であるおすすめ番組（選定放送番組）を選定するおすすめ番組選定処理（図１９）を行う。例えば、選定処理部９５は、再生された放送番組に関連する他の放送番組をおすすめ番組として選定する処理を行う。また例えば、選定処理部９５は、ユーザの所持する携帯装置４からユーザのライフログの情報であるログ情報を取得し、取得したログ情報に基づいておすすめ番組を選定する処理を行う。 [1-1-2-5. Selection processing section]
The selection processing unit 95 selects a recommended program (selected broadcast program) that is a broadcast program according to the user from the broadcast programs recorded by the broadcast recording processing unit 92 (recorded data stored in the storage unit 16). The recommended program selection process (FIG. 19) is performed. For example, the selection processing unit 95 performs a process of selecting another broadcast program related to the reproduced broadcast program as a recommended program. In addition, for example, the selection processing unit 95 acquires log information that is information on the life log of the user from the portable device 4 possessed by the user, and performs a process of selecting a recommended program based on the acquired log information.
　［１－２．サーバの構成］
　図８に示すように、サーバ２は、複数（一例として非常に多い数）のテレビ１からの情報（評価データ）を集約・管理するための装置であり、遠距離通信ユニット２１と、記憶ユニット２２と、制御ユニット２３と、を備える。 [1-2. Server configuration]

　［１－３．携帯装置の構成］
　携帯装置４は、テレビ１のユーザが携帯可能な装置であって、例えば携帯電話機（いわゆるスマートフォンを含む。）である。携帯装置４は、図９に示すように、タッチパネルユニット４１と、撮影ユニット４２と、音入力ユニット４３と、近距離通信ユニット４４と、記憶ユニット４５と、制御ユニット４６と、を備える。 [1-3. Configuration of portable device]
The portable device 4 is a device that can be carried by the user of the television 1 and is, for example, a mobile phone (including a so-called smartphone). As shown in FIG. 9, the portable device 4 includes a touch panel unit 41, a photographing unit 42, a sound input unit 43, a short-range communication unit 44, a storage unit 45, and a control unit 46.
　タッチパネルユニット４１は、制御ユニット４６から入力した画像データの表す画像を表示画面（例えば液晶ディスプレイ）に表示させ、表示画面上で行われたタッチ操作の情報を制御ユニット４６へ出力する。 The touch panel unit 41 displays an image represented by the image data input from the control unit 46 on a display screen (for example, a liquid crystal display), and outputs information on a touch operation performed on the display screen to the control unit 46.
　撮影ユニット４２は、携帯装置４における表示画面側（前面）及びその裏側（背面）に設けられたカメラによる撮影画像を表す撮影データを制御ユニット４６へ出力する。
　音入力ユニット４３は、携帯装置４を使用しているユーザの音声をマイクロフォンで入力し、入力した音声を表す音声信号を制御ユニット４６へ出力する。 The photographing unit 42 outputs photographing data representing images photographed by cameras provided on the display screen side (front surface) and the back side (rear surface) of the portable device 4 to the control unit 46.
The sound input unit 43 inputs the voice of the user using the portable device 4 with a microphone, and outputs a voice signal representing the input voice to the control unit 46.
　近距離通信ユニット４４は、制御ユニット４６から入力したデータを近距離無線通信でテレビ１へ送信し、テレビ１から近距離無線通信で受信したデータを制御ユニット４６へ出力する。 The near field communication unit 44 transmits the data input from the control unit 46 to the television 1 by near field wireless communication, and outputs the data received from the television 1 by near field communication to the control unit 46.
　記憶ユニット４５は、制御ユニット４６から入力したデータを記憶する。
　制御ユニット４６は、回路４６１、プロセッサ４６２、メモリ４６３などを備える。制御ユニット４６は、ハードウェア（回路４６１及びプロセッサ４６２）及びソフトウェア（メモリ４６３に記憶されたプログラム）により、種々の機能を実現する。また、制御ユニット４６は、後述するライフログ取得処理（図２０）を実行する。 The storage unit 45 stores data input from the control unit 46.
The control unit 46 includes a circuit 461, a processor 462, a memory 463, and the like. The control unit 46 realizes various functions by hardware (circuit 461 and processor 462) and software (program stored in the memory 463). Further, the control unit 46 executes a life log acquisition process (FIG. 20) described later.
　［２．処理］
　次に、通信システムにおいて各装置で実行される処理について説明する。
　［２－１．評価送信処理］
　まず、携帯装置４で実行される評価送信処理について、図１０のフローチャートを用いて説明する。なお、図１０の評価送信処理は、評価送信用のアプリケーションが携帯装置４で起動されることにより開始されて繰り返し実行され、当該アプリケーションが終了されることにより終了される。当該アプリケーションは、携帯装置４のユーザがテレビ１を視聴中に使用するためのアプリケーションである。 [2. processing]
Next, processing executed by each device in the communication system will be described.
[2-1. Evaluation transmission process]
First, the evaluation transmission process executed by the portable device 4 will be described using the flowchart of FIG. Note that the evaluation transmission process of FIG. 10 is started and repeatedly executed when an application for evaluation transmission is started on the mobile device 4, and is ended when the application is ended. The application is an application for the user of the mobile device 4 to use while viewing the television 1.
　携帯装置４の制御ユニット４６（具体的にはプロセッサ４６２）は、携帯装置４のユーザから評価を入力する（Ｓ１０１）。具体的には、制御ユニット４６は、図５に示すボタンと同様のボタン（ただし、ユーザボタン３８は無くてもよい。）をタッチパネルユニット４１に表示させ、タッチパネルユニット４１からタッチ操作の情報を入力する。なお、音入力ユニット４３を利用して音声によるコメントなどの入力を行うようにしてもよい。 The control unit 46 (specifically, the processor 462) of the portable device 4 inputs an evaluation from the user of the portable device 4 (S101). Specifically, the control unit 46 displays the same buttons as those shown in FIG. 5 (however, the user button 38 may be omitted) on the touch panel unit 41 and inputs touch operation information from the touch panel unit 41. To do. Note that the sound input unit 43 may be used to input voice comments and the like.
　続いて、制御ユニット４６は、評価内容情報及び評価者情報を、近距離通信ユニット４４を介してテレビ１へ送信する（Ｓ１０２）。具体的には、制御ユニット４６は、Ｓ１０１で入力した評価を評価者情報として送信し、当該携帯装置４に記憶されている所有ユーザの情報を評価者情報として送信する。つまり、テレビ１のユーザは複数人である場合（例えば家族でテレビ１を利用する場合）が想定されるのに対し、携帯装置４のユーザは通常一人であるため、携帯装置４の所有ユーザを評価者とみなして、評価者情報の入力を省略可能としている。 Subsequently, the control unit 46 transmits the evaluation content information and the evaluator information to the television 1 via the short-range communication unit 44 (S102). Specifically, the control unit 46 transmits the evaluation input in S101 as evaluator information, and transmits information of the owning user stored in the portable device 4 as evaluator information. That is, a case where there are a plurality of users of the television 1 (for example, when the family uses the television 1) is assumed, but since there is usually only one user of the portable device 4, the user who owns the portable device 4 is It is regarded as an evaluator, and input of evaluator information can be omitted.
　［２－２．設定処理］
　次に、テレビ１で実行される設定処理について、図１１のフローチャートを用いて説明する。なお、図１１の設定処理は、設定メニューの表示操作がユーザにより行われたことを契機に開始される。 [2-2. Setting process]
Next, the setting process executed on the television 1 will be described using the flowchart of FIG. Note that the setting process in FIG. 11 is started when a setting menu display operation is performed by the user.
　テレビ１の制御ユニット１９（具体的にはプロセッサ１９２）は、図１２に示す設定メニューを再生ユニット１８に表示させる（Ｓ２０１）。図１２の例では、「評価送信」、「送付前確認」、「撮影画像送信」、「評価表示」及び「表示除外」の５つの設定項目が用意されている。なお、これらの設定は、テレビ１のユーザ別に行えるようにしてもよい。 The control unit 19 (specifically, the processor 192) of the television 1 displays the setting menu shown in FIG. 12 on the reproduction unit 18 (S201). In the example of FIG. 12, five setting items “evaluation transmission”, “confirmation before transmission”, “transmission of captured image”, “evaluation display”, and “display exclusion” are prepared. These settings may be made for each user of the television 1.
　設定項目「評価送信」は、テレビ１からサーバ２へ評価を送信するか否かを設定するための設定項目である。具体的には、ユーザは、設定項目「評価送信」において「送信を許可する」を選択することで、評価の送信を許可する動作モード（評価送信許可モード）に設定にすることができる。一方、ユーザは、「送信を許可しない」を選択することで、評価の送信を許可しない動作モード（評価送信禁止モード）に設定にすることができる。 The setting item “evaluation transmission” is a setting item for setting whether or not to transmit an evaluation from the television 1 to the server 2. Specifically, the user can set an operation mode (evaluation transmission permission mode) that permits transmission of evaluation by selecting “permit transmission” in the setting item “evaluation transmission”. On the other hand, the user can set the operation mode (evaluation transmission prohibition mode) in which evaluation transmission is not permitted by selecting “not permit transmission”.
　設定項目「送信前確認」は、設定項目「評価送信」において「送信を許可する」が選択されていることを前提として、送信する評価を送信直前にユーザに確認するか否かを設定するための設定項目である。具体的には、ユーザは、設定項目「送信前確認」において「送信前に確認する」を選択することで、送信する評価を送信直前に確認する動作モード（事前確認モード）に設定にすることができる。一方、ユーザは、「送信前に確認しない」を選択することで、送信する評価を送信直前に確認しない動作モード（確認無しモード）に設定にすることができる。事前確認モードにおいては、例えば、前述したようにユーザの表情や笑い声によって評価が推測された場合に、意図しない評価の送信が行われないようにすることができる。 The setting item “Confirm before sending” is for setting whether or not to confirm the evaluation to be sent to the user immediately before sending, on the assumption that “Allow sending” is selected in the setting item “Evaluation sending”. This is a setting item. Specifically, the user sets the operation mode (preliminary confirmation mode) to confirm the evaluation to be transmitted immediately before transmission by selecting “confirm before transmission” in the setting item “confirm before transmission”. Can do. On the other hand, the user can set an operation mode (no confirmation mode) in which the evaluation to be transmitted is not confirmed immediately before transmission by selecting “Do not confirm before transmission”. In the prior confirmation mode, for example, when the evaluation is estimated by the user's facial expression or laughter as described above, it is possible to prevent an unintended evaluation from being transmitted.
　設定項目「撮影画像送信」は、ユーザを撮影した撮影画像を表す撮影データの送信を許可するか否かを設定するための設定項目である。具体的には、ユーザは、設定項目「撮影画像送信」において「送信を許可する」を選択することで、撮影画像を表す撮影データの送信を許可する動作モード（画像送信許可モード）に設定することができる。一方、ユーザは、「送信を許可しない」を選択することで、撮影画像を表す撮影データの送信を許可しない動作モード（画像送信禁止モード）に設定することができる。また、ユーザは、「送信を許可する」を選択した場合にも、「代替画像に変換する」にチェックを入れることで、撮影画像を代替画像に変換して、代替画像を表す撮影データを送信する動作モード（代替画像送信モード）に設定することができる。代替画像は、撮影画像に画像処理を施して生成される画像であってもよく、また、あらかじめ決められている候補画像の中から選択される画像であってもよい。例えば、画像処理により撮影画像を抽象的な絵（例えばイラスト）に変換すれば、元の撮影画像と比較して、ユーザの固有情報を特定されにくくすることができる。 The setting item “transmission of photographed image” is a setting item for setting whether or not transmission of photographing data representing a photographed image photographed by the user is permitted. Specifically, the user sets the operation mode (image transmission permission mode) that permits transmission of photographing data representing a photographed image by selecting “permit transmission” in the setting item “transmission of photographed image”. be able to. On the other hand, the user can set to an operation mode (image transmission prohibition mode) in which transmission of shooting data representing a shot image is not permitted by selecting “not allow transmission”. In addition, even when the user selects “Allow transmission”, by checking “Convert to substitute image”, the photographed image is converted to the substitute image and the photograph data representing the substitute image is transmitted. To the operation mode (substitute image transmission mode). The substitute image may be an image generated by performing image processing on a captured image, or may be an image selected from predetermined candidate images. For example, if a photographed image is converted into an abstract picture (for example, an illustration) by image processing, it is possible to make it difficult for the user's unique information to be specified as compared with the original photographed image.
　設定項目「評価表示」は、放送番組の視聴中に、視聴者による評価を表示するか否かを設定するための設定項目である。具体的には、ユーザは、設定項目「評価表示」において「すべて表示する」を選択することで、視聴者による評価を表示する動作モード（評価表示モード）に設定することができる。また、ユーザは、「登録者による評価のみ表示する」を選択することで、登録者による評価のみ表示する動作モード（限定表示モード）に設定することができる。一方、ユーザは、「すべて表示しない」を選択することで、視聴者による評価を表示しない動作モード（評価表示禁止モード）に設定することができる。限定表示モードでは、ユーザが任意に登録した他のユーザによる評価のみが表示される。例えば、ユーザは、友人を登録しておくことで、友人による評価を表示させる一方、それ以外の不特定多数の視聴者による評価を表示させないようにすることができる。 The setting item “evaluation display” is a setting item for setting whether or not to display the evaluation by the viewer while viewing the broadcast program. Specifically, the user can set the operation mode (evaluation display mode) for displaying the evaluation by the viewer by selecting “display all” in the setting item “evaluation display”. Further, the user can set the operation mode (limited display mode) in which only the evaluation by the registrant is displayed by selecting “display only the evaluation by the registrant”. On the other hand, the user can set to an operation mode (evaluation display prohibition mode) in which the evaluation by the viewer is not displayed by selecting “do not display all”. In the limited display mode, only evaluations by other users arbitrarily registered by the user are displayed. For example, by registering friends, the user can display evaluations by friends while not displaying evaluations by a number of other unspecified viewers.
　設定項目「表示除外」は、設定項目「評価表示」において「すべて表示する」又は「登録者による評価のみ表示する」が選択されていることを前提として、特定の評価を表示対象から除外するように設定するための設定項目である。 The setting item “exclude display” is to exclude specific evaluations from the display target on the assumption that “display all” or “display only evaluations by registrants” is selected in the setting item “evaluation display”. This is a setting item for setting.
　具体的には、ユーザは、設定項目「表示除外」において「コメントは表示しない」にチェックを入れることで、コメント（自由評価）を表示しない動作モード（コメント非表示モード）に設定することができる。ユーザによっては不快と感じる内容が、コメントには含まれる可能性があるからである。 Specifically, the user can set an operation mode (comment non-display mode) in which comments (free evaluation) are not displayed by checking “Do not display comments” in the setting item “display exclusion”. . This is because some users may feel uncomfortable content in the comments.
　また、ユーザは、設定項目「表示除外」において「ネタバレ情報は表示しない」にチェックを入れることで、ネタバレ情報が含まれるコメントを表示しない動作モード（ネタバレ非表示モード）に設定することができる。ネタバレ情報とは、ドラマ、映画、試合の放送番組についての結末などのように、視聴前に知ってしまうと放送番組への興味が下がってしまう情報のことである。ネタバレ情報であるか否かは、例えば特定のキーワード（「結果」、「勝」、「負」等）で判定してもよく、また、文章を解析して判定してもよい。また、放送番組のジャンル（前述したドラマ等のようにネタバレ情報が生じやすいジャンルであるか否か）に応じて判定してもよい。 In addition, the user can set the operation mode (spoilage non-display mode) in which the comment including spoiler information is not displayed by checking “Do not display spoiler information” in the setting item “display exclusion”. Spoiler information is information such as the ending of broadcast programs for dramas, movies, and games that would reduce interest in the broadcast program if known before viewing. Whether spoiler information is spoiler information may be determined by, for example, a specific keyword (such as “result”, “win”, “negative”), or may be determined by analyzing a sentence. Alternatively, the determination may be made according to the genre of the broadcast program (whether it is a genre where spoiler information is likely to occur, such as the drama described above).
　図１１に戻り、制御ユニット１９は、設定メニューで設定された内容を確定させる（Ｓ２０２）。具体的には、制御ユニット１９は、現在の設定内容として記憶されているデータを、設定メニューで設定された内容に更新する。その後、制御ユニット１９は、図１１の設定処理を終了する。 Referring back to FIG. 11, the control unit 19 determines the content set in the setting menu (S202). Specifically, the control unit 19 updates the data stored as the current setting content to the content set in the setting menu. Thereafter, the control unit 19 ends the setting process of FIG.
　［２－３．評価入力処理］
　次に、テレビ１で実行される評価入力処理について、図１３のフローチャートを用いて説明する。なお、図１３の評価入力処理は、設定項目「評価送信」に関する現在の動作モードが評価送信許可モードに設定されている状態において、放送番組が再生されたことを契機に開始される。 [2-3. Evaluation input processing]
Next, the evaluation input process executed on the television 1 will be described using the flowchart of FIG. The evaluation input process in FIG. 13 is started when a broadcast program is played back in a state where the current operation mode related to the setting item “evaluation transmission” is set to the evaluation transmission permission mode.
　制御ユニット１９は、評価が入力されたか否かを判定する（Ｓ３０１）。評価の入力方法は前述したとおりであり、ユーザによる自発的な行為に基づく入力方法としては、リモコン３のボタン操作、所定のジェスチャー、キーワードやコメントの発声、携帯装置４の操作などが挙げられる。また、制御ユニット１９は、推測に基づく入力方法として、ユーザの表情や笑い声などに基づいて推測される評価も入力する。 The control unit 19 determines whether an evaluation is input (S301). The evaluation input method is as described above, and examples of the input method based on the voluntary action by the user include button operation of the remote controller 3, predetermined gesture, utterance of a keyword or comment, operation of the portable device 4, and the like. Further, the control unit 19 also inputs an evaluation estimated based on the user's facial expression, laughter, etc. as an input method based on the estimation.
　制御ユニット１９は、評価が入力されたと判定すると（Ｓ３０１：ＹＥＳ）、入力された評価を表す情報、再生中の放送番組、評価が入力されたタイミング、などに基づいて、前述したように評価内容情報、評価対象情報及び評価者情報を特定する（Ｓ３０２）。 If the control unit 19 determines that the evaluation has been input (S301: YES), the evaluation content as described above is based on the information indicating the input evaluation, the broadcast program being reproduced, the timing at which the evaluation is input, and the like. Information, evaluation object information, and evaluator information are specified (S302).
　続いて、制御ユニット１９は、設定項目「撮影画像送信」に関する現在の動作モードが画像送信禁止モードに設定されているか否かを判定する（Ｓ３０３）。制御ユニット１９は、動作モードが画像送信禁止モードに設定されていると判定した場合には（Ｓ３０３：ＹＥＳ）、評価内容情報及び評価者情報から撮影画像を除去し（Ｓ３０４）、処理をＳ３０７へ移行させる。 Subsequently, the control unit 19 determines whether or not the current operation mode related to the setting item “captured image transmission” is set to the image transmission prohibition mode (S303). When it is determined that the operation mode is set to the image transmission prohibition mode (S303: YES), the control unit 19 removes the photographed image from the evaluation content information and the evaluator information (S304), and the process proceeds to S307. Transition.
　一方、制御ユニット１９は、動作モードが画像送信禁止モードに設定されていないと判定した場合には（Ｓ３０３：ＮＯ）、動作モードが代替画像送信モードに設定されているか否かを判定する（Ｓ３０５）。制御ユニット１９は、動作モードが代替画像送信モードに設定されていると判定した場合には（Ｓ３０５：ＹＥＳ）、評価内容情報及び評価者情報に含まれる撮影画像を代替画像に変換し（Ｓ３０６）、処理をＳ３０７へ移行させる。一方、制御ユニット１９は、動作モードが代替画像送信モードに設定されていないと判定した場合には（Ｓ３０５：ＮＯ）、Ｓ３０６をスキップして処理をＳ３０７へ移行させる。 On the other hand, when the control unit 19 determines that the operation mode is not set to the image transmission inhibition mode (S303: NO), the control unit 19 determines whether or not the operation mode is set to the alternative image transmission mode (S305). ). If the control unit 19 determines that the operation mode is set to the substitute image transmission mode (S305: YES), the control unit 19 converts the captured image included in the evaluation content information and the evaluator information into a substitute image (S306). The process proceeds to S307. On the other hand, if the control unit 19 determines that the operation mode is not set to the alternative image transmission mode (S305: NO), the control unit 19 skips S306 and shifts the process to S307.
　Ｓ３０７で、制御ユニット１９は、設定項目「送信前確認」に関する現在の動作モードが事前確認モードに設定されているか否かを判定する（Ｓ３０７）。制御ユニット１９は、動作モードが事前確認モードに設定されていると判定した場合には（Ｓ３０７：ＹＥＳ）、送信しようとする評価データの表す評価内容情報、評価対象情報及び評価者情報を再生ユニット１８に表示させる（Ｓ３０８）。そして、制御ユニット１９は、表示した評価データの送信がユーザにより許可されたか否かを判定する（Ｓ３０９）。具体的には、ユーザによる操作待ちの状態となる。 In S307, the control unit 19 determines whether or not the current operation mode related to the setting item “confirmation before transmission” is set to the prior confirmation mode (S307). When the control unit 19 determines that the operation mode is set to the prior confirmation mode (S307: YES), the control unit 19 displays the evaluation content information, the evaluation object information, and the evaluator information represented by the evaluation data to be transmitted. 18 is displayed (S308). Then, the control unit 19 determines whether or not transmission of the displayed evaluation data is permitted by the user (S309). Specifically, it is in a state of waiting for an operation by the user.
　制御ユニット１９は、評価データの送信がユーザにより許可されなかった（送信が取り消された）と判定した場合には（Ｓ３０９：ＮＯ）、処理をＳ３０１へ戻す。一方、制御ユニット１９は、評価データの送信がユーザにより許可されたと判定した場合には（Ｓ３０９：ＹＥＳ）、処理をＳ３１０へ移行させる。 When the control unit 19 determines that the transmission of the evaluation data is not permitted by the user (transmission is canceled) (S309: NO), the control unit 19 returns the process to S301. On the other hand, if the control unit 19 determines that the transmission of the evaluation data is permitted by the user (S309: YES), the control unit 19 shifts the process to S310.
　また、制御ユニット１９は、前述したＳ３０７で動作モードが事前確認モードに設定されていない（確認無しモードに設定されている）と判定した場合には（Ｓ３０７：ＮＯ）、Ｓ３０８～Ｓ３０９をスキップして処理をＳ３１０へ移行させる。 If the control unit 19 determines in S307 that the operation mode is not set to the prior confirmation mode (set to the no confirmation mode) (S307: NO), it skips S308 to S309. Then, the process proceeds to S310.
　Ｓ３１０で、制御ユニット１９は、評価データを遠距離通信ユニット１７を介してサーバ２へ送信し（Ｓ３１０）、処理をＳ３０１へ戻す。
　［２－４．評価管理処理］
　次に、サーバ２で実行される評価管理処理について、図１４のフローチャートを用いて説明する。なお、図１４の評価管理処理は、常時実行される。 In S310, the control unit 19 transmits the evaluation data to the server 2 via the long-distance communication unit 17 (S310), and returns the process to S301.
[2-4. Evaluation management process]
Next, the evaluation management process executed by the server 2 will be described using the flowchart of FIG. The evaluation management process in FIG. 14 is always executed.
　サーバ２の制御ユニット２３（具体的にはプロセッサ２３１）は、インターネット８を介してテレビ１から評価データが受信されたか否かを判定する（Ｓ４０１）。制御ユニット２３は、テレビ１から評価データが受信されたと判定した場合には（Ｓ４０１：ＹＥＳ）、受信された評価データを記憶ユニット２２に保存し（Ｓ４０２）、処理をＳ４０３へ移行させる。一方、制御ユニット２３は、テレビ１から評価データが受信されていないと判定した場合には（Ｓ４０１：ＮＯ）、Ｓ４０２をスキップして処理をＳ４０３へ移行させる。 The control unit 23 (specifically, the processor 231) of the server 2 determines whether or not evaluation data is received from the television 1 via the Internet 8 (S401). When it is determined that the evaluation data has been received from the television 1 (S401: YES), the control unit 23 stores the received evaluation data in the storage unit 22 (S402), and shifts the processing to S403. On the other hand, when it is determined that the evaluation data has not been received from the television 1 (S401: NO), the control unit 23 skips S402 and shifts the process to S403.
　Ｓ４０３で、制御ユニット２３は、インターネット８を介してテレビ１から評価データの送信要求が受信されたか否かを判定する（Ｓ４０３）。制御ユニット２３は、テレビ１から評価データの送信要求が受信されていないと判定した場合には（Ｓ４０３：ＮＯ）、処理をＳ４０１へ戻す。 In S403, the control unit 23 determines whether an evaluation data transmission request is received from the television 1 via the Internet 8 (S403). When it is determined that the evaluation data transmission request has not been received from the television 1 (S403: NO), the control unit 23 returns the process to S401.
　一方、制御ユニット２３は、テレビ１から評価データの送信要求が受信されたと判定した場合には（Ｓ４０３：ＹＥＳ）、要求された評価データを抽出し（Ｓ４０４）、抽出した評価データをインターネット８を介して要求元のテレビ１へ送信する（Ｓ４０５）。その後、制御ユニット２３は、処理をＳ４０１へ戻す。 On the other hand, if the control unit 23 determines that the evaluation data transmission request has been received from the television 1 (S403: YES), the control unit 23 extracts the requested evaluation data (S404), and transmits the extracted evaluation data to the Internet 8. To the request source television 1 (S405). Thereafter, the control unit 23 returns the process to S401.
　［２－５．録画再生処理］
　次に、テレビ１で実行される録画再生処理について、図１５のフローチャートを用いて説明する。なお、図１５の録画再生処理は、録画された放送番組を再生するための操作がユーザにより行われたことを契機に開始される。 [2-5. Recording playback process]
Next, the recording / reproducing process executed on the television 1 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. Note that the recording / playback processing in FIG. 15 is started when a user performs an operation for playing back a recorded broadcast program.
　制御ユニット１９は、記憶ユニット１６に記憶されている放送データ（録画データ）の表す放送番組（録画番組）に関する情報、具体的には、放送番組を一覧表示するために必要な情報（チャンネル、放送日時、番組名等）を取得する（Ｓ５０１）。本実施形態では、全番組録画機能で録画されたすべての放送番組の情報が取得される。 The control unit 19 is information regarding broadcast programs (recorded programs) represented by broadcast data (recorded data) stored in the storage unit 16, specifically, information necessary for displaying a list of broadcast programs (channels, broadcasts). (Date, program name, etc.) are acquired (S501). In this embodiment, information on all broadcast programs recorded by the all program recording function is acquired.
　続いて、制御ユニット１９は、設定項目「評価表示」に関する現在の動作モードが評価表示禁止モードに設定されているか否かを判定する（Ｓ５０２）。制御ユニット１９は、動作モードが評価表示禁止モードに設定されていないと判定した場合には（Ｓ５０２：ＮＯ）、動作モードが限定表示モードに設定されているか否かを判定する（Ｓ５０３）。 Subsequently, the control unit 19 determines whether or not the current operation mode related to the setting item “evaluation display” is set to the evaluation display prohibition mode (S502). When it is determined that the operation mode is not set to the evaluation display prohibition mode (S502: NO), the control unit 19 determines whether or not the operation mode is set to the limited display mode (S503).
　制御ユニット１９は、動作モードが限定表示モードに設定されていない（評価表示モードに設定されている）と判定した場合には（Ｓ５０３：ＮＯ）、Ｓ５０１で取得した放送番組についてのすべての評価データを遠距離通信ユニット１７を介してサーバ２から取得する（Ｓ５０４）。具体的には、制御ユニット１９は、評価データの送信要求を、遠距離通信ユニット１７を介してサーバ２へ送信する。そして、制御ユニット１９は、処理をＳ５０６へ移行させる。 If the control unit 19 determines that the operation mode is not set to the limited display mode (set to the evaluation display mode) (S503: NO), all the evaluation data about the broadcast program acquired in S501. Is acquired from the server 2 via the long-distance communication unit 17 (S504). Specifically, the control unit 19 transmits an evaluation data transmission request to the server 2 via the long-distance communication unit 17. Then, the control unit 19 shifts the process to S506.
　一方、制御ユニット１９は、動作モードが限定表示モードに設定されていると判定した場合には（Ｓ５０３：ＹＥＳ）、Ｓ５０１で取得した放送番組についての評価データであって登録者による評価データをサーバ２から取得し（Ｓ５０５）、処理をＳ５０６へ移行させる。 On the other hand, if the control unit 19 determines that the operation mode is set to the limited display mode (S503: YES), the control unit 19 uses the evaluation data about the broadcast program acquired in S501 and the evaluation data by the registrant as a server. 2 (S505), and the process proceeds to S506.
　Ｓ５０６で、制御ユニット１９は、設定項目「表示除外」に関する現在の動作モードがコメント非表示モードに設定されているか否かを判定する（Ｓ５０６）。制御ユニット１９は、動作モードがコメント非表示モードに設定されていると判定した場合には（Ｓ５０６：ＹＥＳ）、サーバ２から取得した評価データに含まれるすべてのコメントを削除し（Ｓ５０７）、処理をＳ５１０へ移行させる。 In S506, the control unit 19 determines whether or not the current operation mode regarding the setting item “display exclusion” is set to the comment non-display mode (S506). If it is determined that the operation mode is set to the comment non-display mode (S506: YES), the control unit 19 deletes all comments included in the evaluation data acquired from the server 2 (S507) To S510.
　一方、制御ユニット１９は、動作モードがコメント非表示モードに設定されていないと判定した場合には（Ｓ５０６：ＮＯ）、動作モードがネタバレ非表示モードに設定されているか否かを判定する（Ｓ５０８）。制御ユニット１９は、動作モードがネタバレ非表示モードに設定されていると判定した場合には（Ｓ５０８：ＹＥＳ）、サーバ２から取得した評価データに含まれるコメントを解析し、ネタバレ情報を含むと判定したコメントを削除した後（Ｓ５０９）、処理をＳ５１０へ移行させる。 On the other hand, when it is determined that the operation mode is not set to the comment non-display mode (S506: NO), the control unit 19 determines whether or not the operation mode is set to the spoiler non-display mode (S508). ). When it is determined that the operation mode is set to the spoiler non-display mode (S508: YES), the control unit 19 analyzes the comment included in the evaluation data acquired from the server 2 and determines that the spoiler information is included. After deleting the comment (S509), the process proceeds to S510.
　一方、制御ユニット１９は、動作モードがネタバレ非表示モードに設定されていないと判定した場合には（Ｓ５０８：ＮＯ）、Ｓ５０９をスキップして処理をＳ５１０へ移行させる。 On the other hand, when it is determined that the operation mode is not set to the spoiler non-display mode (S508: NO), the control unit 19 skips S509 and shifts the process to S510.
　また、制御ユニット１９は、前述したＳ５０２で、動作モードが評価表示禁止モードに設定されていると判定した場合には（Ｓ５０２：ＹＥＳ）、Ｓ５０３～Ｓ５０９をスキップして、処理をＳ５１０へ移行させる。 If the control unit 19 determines in S502 that the operation mode is set to the evaluation display prohibition mode (S502: YES), it skips S503 to S509 and shifts the process to S510. .
　Ｓ５１０で、制御ユニット１９は、放送番組（録画番組）及び評価を一覧表示する（Ｓ５１０）。表示形式は前述したとおりである（図６参照）。なお、放送番組に対応する評価データがなければ評価は表示されない。 In S510, the control unit 19 displays a list of broadcast programs (recorded programs) and evaluations (S510). The display format is as described above (see FIG. 6). The evaluation is not displayed if there is no evaluation data corresponding to the broadcast program.
　続いて、制御ユニット１９は、ダイジェスト再生操作が行われたか否かを判定する（Ｓ５１１）。制御ユニット１９は、ダイジェスト再生操作が行われたと判定した場合には（Ｓ５１１：ＹＥＳ）、前述したダイジェスト再生を行い（Ｓ５１２）、ダイジェスト再生の終了後に処理をＳ５１０へ戻す。 Subsequently, the control unit 19 determines whether or not a digest reproduction operation has been performed (S511). When it is determined that the digest reproduction operation has been performed (S511: YES), the control unit 19 performs the digest reproduction described above (S512), and returns the process to S510 after the digest reproduction ends.
　一方、制御ユニット１９は、ダイジェスト再生操作が行われていないと判定した場合には（Ｓ５１１：ＮＯ）、通常再生操作が行われたか否かを判定する（Ｓ５１３）。制御ユニット１９は、通常再生操作が行われたと判定した場合には（Ｓ５１３：ＹＥＳ）、前述した通常再生を行う通常再生処理を実行し（Ｓ５１４）、通常再生処理の終了後に処理をＳ５１０へ戻す。 On the other hand, when it is determined that the digest reproduction operation is not performed (S511: NO), the control unit 19 determines whether the normal reproduction operation is performed (S513). When the control unit 19 determines that the normal reproduction operation has been performed (S513: YES), the control unit 19 executes the normal reproduction process for performing the normal reproduction described above (S514), and returns the process to S510 after the normal reproduction process is completed. .
　一方、制御ユニット１９は、通常再生操作が行われていないと判定した場合には（Ｓ５１３：ＮＯ）、録画再生処理の終了操作が行われたか否かを判定する（Ｓ５１５）。制御ユニット１９は、終了操作が行われていないと判定した場合には（Ｓ５１５：ＮＯ）、処理をＳ５１０へ戻す。 On the other hand, if it is determined that the normal playback operation is not performed (S513: NO), the control unit 19 determines whether or not the recording / playback processing end operation is performed (S515). If the control unit 19 determines that the termination operation has not been performed (S515: NO), the process returns to S510.
　一方、制御ユニット１９は、終了操作が行われたと判定した場合には（Ｓ５１５：ＹＥＳ）、図１５の録画再生処理を終了する。
　次に、前述したＳ５１４で実行される通常再生処理について、図１６及び図１７のフローチャートを用いて説明する。 On the other hand, when it is determined that the end operation has been performed (S515: YES), the control unit 19 ends the recording / playback process of FIG.
Next, the normal reproduction process executed in S514 described above will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS.
　制御ユニット１９は、再生中の放送番組を視聴しているユーザを特定する（Ｓ６０１）。ユーザの特定は、例えば、撮影ユニット１３による撮影データを解析（顔認識）することにより特定される。なお、実際に視聴しているユーザを特定することに限定されるものではなく、簡易的な手法でユーザを特定してもよい。例えば、あらかじめ決められているユーザ（例えばテレビ１の所有者として登録されているユーザ）を、再生中の放送番組を視聴しているユーザとして特定してもよい。 The control unit 19 identifies a user who is viewing the broadcast program being played (S601). The user is specified by, for example, analyzing (face recognition) the shooting data obtained by the shooting unit 13. Note that the present invention is not limited to specifying the user who is actually viewing, and the user may be specified by a simple method. For example, a predetermined user (for example, a user registered as the owner of the television 1) may be specified as a user who is viewing a broadcast program being played.
　続いて、制御ユニット１９は、テレビ１の表示画面においてユーザが注目している対象である注目対象を特定する（Ｓ６０２）。注目対象は、例えば、撮影ユニット１３による撮影データを解析してユーザの視線を検出し、テレビ１の表示画面におけるユーザが注目している位置と、テレビ１の表示画面に表示されている映像と、を対応付けることにより特定することが可能である。具体的には、放送番組で再生される映像（本編だけでなくＣＭも含む。）において、特定の人物、特定の商品（例えば市販されている物品）、特定の施設（例えば、レストラン、娯楽施設、宿泊施設）などが、あらかじめ対象候補として設定されている。このため、表示画面における注目位置が特定されれば、どの対象候補が注目対象であるかが容易に特定される。つまり、再生中の放送番組を視聴するユーザの視線に基づいて、再生中の映像における注目対象が特定される。なお、注目対象の特定に必要なデータ（例えば、放送番組に含まれる対象候補の出現時刻や表示画面における位置）は、例えば放送データにあらかじめ含まれていてもよい。また例えば、注目対象の特定に必要なデータがサーバ２に記憶されており、必要時に参照、取得等できるようにしてもよい。 Subsequently, the control unit 19 specifies a target of interest that is a target of interest of the user on the display screen of the television 1 (S602). The attention object is, for example, analyzing the shooting data by the shooting unit 13 to detect the user's line of sight, the position on the display screen of the television 1 where the user is paying attention, and the image displayed on the display screen of the television 1 Can be specified by associating. Specifically, in a video (including not only the main part but also a CM) reproduced in a broadcast program, a specific person, a specific product (for example, a commercial item), a specific facility (for example, a restaurant, an entertainment facility) , Accommodation facilities) and the like are set as candidate candidates in advance. For this reason, if the attention position on the display screen is specified, it is easily specified which candidate candidate is the attention target. That is, the target of attention in the video being played is specified based on the line of sight of the user who views the broadcast program being played. Note that data necessary for specifying the target of interest (for example, the appearance time of the target candidate included in the broadcast program or the position on the display screen) may be included in advance in the broadcast data, for example. Further, for example, data necessary for specifying the target of interest may be stored in the server 2 so that it can be referred to or acquired when necessary.
　続いて、制御ユニット１９は、対象候補を選択する操作（以下「対象選択操作」という。）がユーザにより行われたか否かを判定する（Ｓ６０３）。前述したＳ６０２は、ユーザが無意識に注目している対象候補を特定する処理である。これに対し、Ｓ６０３は、対象候補のうちの１つをユーザが自らの意思で選択する操作が行われたか否かを判定する処理である。対象選択操作は、例えば、表示画面における位置を指定する操作として実現される。なお、対象選択操作は、音声を利用して行われるようにしてもよい。 Subsequently, the control unit 19 determines whether an operation for selecting a target candidate (hereinafter referred to as “target selection operation”) has been performed by the user (S603). The above-described step S602 is processing for identifying a target candidate that the user is unconsciously paying attention to. On the other hand, S603 is processing for determining whether or not the user has performed an operation of selecting one of the target candidates with his / her own intention. The object selection operation is realized, for example, as an operation for designating a position on the display screen. Note that the target selection operation may be performed using voice.
　制御ユニット１９は、対象選択操作が行われたと判定した場合には（Ｓ６０３：ＹＥＳ）、対象選択操作により選択された対象候補（以下「選択対象」という。）に関する詳細情報を、テレビ１の表示画面に表示する選択対象表示処理を実行する（Ｓ６０４）。その後、制御ユニット１９は、処理をＳ６０５へ移行させる。つまり、対象選択操作とは、選択した対象候補に関する詳細情報を表示させる処理である。なお、選択対象表示処理の具体的な処理内容については後述する（図１８）。 When the control unit 19 determines that the target selection operation has been performed (S603: YES), the control unit 19 displays detailed information on the target candidate selected by the target selection operation (hereinafter referred to as “selection target”) on the television 1. A selection target display process to be displayed on the screen is executed (S604). Thereafter, the control unit 19 moves the process to S605. That is, the target selection operation is a process of displaying detailed information regarding the selected target candidate. The specific processing content of the selection target display processing will be described later (FIG. 18).
　一方、制御ユニット１９は、対象選択操作が行われていないと判定した場合には（Ｓ６０３：ＮＯ）、Ｓ６０４をスキップして処理をＳ６０５へ移行させる。
　Ｓ６０５で、制御ユニット１９は、テレビ１の表示画面に表示される映像の表示態様を変更する操作（以下「表示態様変更操作」という。）が行われたか否かを判定する。その前提として、本実施形態では、次のａ～ｃの放送データが想定されている。 On the other hand, if it is determined that the target selection operation has not been performed (S603: NO), the control unit 19 skips S604 and shifts the process to S605.
In step S <b> 605, the control unit 19 determines whether an operation for changing the display mode of the video displayed on the display screen of the television 1 (hereinafter referred to as “display mode change operation”) has been performed. As a premise, in the present embodiment, the following broadcast data a to c are assumed.
　ａ：表示画面に表示される映像があらかじめ決められている通常の放送データ。
　ｂ：同一対象を同時に複数の視点から見た映像を含む放送データ（以下「視点可変放送データ」という。）。 a: Normal broadcast data in which the video displayed on the display screen is predetermined.
b: Broadcast data including videos of the same object viewed from a plurality of viewpoints at the same time (hereinafter referred to as “viewpoint variable broadcast data”).
　ｃ：再生中に表示画面に表示される範囲よりもサイズの大きい映像を表す放送データ（以下「範囲可変放送データ」という。）。
　再生元の放送データが視点可変放送データである場合、ユーザは、放送データに含まれる複数の視点から見た映像のうち、表示態様変更操作で指定した映像を表示画面に表示させることができる。例えば、テレビショッピングで紹介されている商品を、通常の視点（例えば正面視）とは異なる視点（例えば側面視、上面視、背面視等）で閲覧することができる。つまり、ある時点での映像を、角度を変えて閲覧することができる。なお、角度を変えた映像が携帯装置４の表示画面に表示されるようにしてもよい。 c: Broadcast data representing video having a size larger than the range displayed on the display screen during reproduction (hereinafter referred to as “range variable broadcast data”).
When the playback source broadcast data is variable viewpoint broadcast data, the user can display the video specified by the display mode change operation on the display screen among videos viewed from a plurality of viewpoints included in the broadcast data. For example, a product introduced in TV shopping can be viewed from a different viewpoint (for example, side view, top view, back view, etc.) from a normal viewpoint (for example, front view). That is, the video at a certain time can be viewed at a different angle. Note that an image with a changed angle may be displayed on the display screen of the mobile device 4.
　また、再生元の放送データが範囲可変放送データである場合、ユーザは、放送番組のデータの表す映像のうちのどの部分を表示するかを指定して、表示画面に表示させることができる。例えば、サッカー中継において、通常の表示範囲（例えばボールを中心とした範囲）とは異なる範囲（例えば特定の選手を中心とした範囲）で閲覧することができる。また例えば、競馬中継において、通常の表示範囲（例えば先頭の馬が含まれる範囲）とは異なる範囲（例えば特定の馬を中心とした範囲）で閲覧することができる。つまり、ある時点での映像において表示する範囲を変えて閲覧することができる。なお、範囲を変えた映像が携帯装置４の表示画面に表示されるようにしてもよい。 Also, when the playback source broadcast data is range variable broadcast data, the user can designate which part of the video represented by the broadcast program data is to be displayed and display it on the display screen. For example, in a soccer broadcast, viewing can be performed in a range (for example, a range centered on a specific player) different from a normal display range (for example, a range centered on a ball). Further, for example, in the horse racing relay, it is possible to browse in a range (for example, a range centered on a specific horse) different from a normal display range (for example, a range including the first horse). That is, it is possible to browse by changing the display range in the video at a certain time. Note that an image with a changed range may be displayed on the display screen of the mobile device 4.
　視点可変放送データや範囲可変放送データは、通常の放送データと比較してデータ量が大きくなる。そこで、放送用の放送データと録画用の放送データとを異ならせ、録画用の放送データのデータ量を大きくするようにしてもよい。また、インターネット経由で放送データの少なくとも一部が送信されるようにしてもよい。 [Viewable variable broadcast data and range variable broadcast data have a larger data volume than normal broadcast data. Therefore, the broadcast data for broadcasting and the broadcast data for recording may be made different so that the data amount of the broadcasting data for recording is increased. Further, at least a part of the broadcast data may be transmitted via the Internet.
　制御ユニット１９は、表示態様変更操作が行われたと判定した場合には（Ｓ６０５：ＹＥＳ）、表示態様変更操作に応じて表示態様を変更した後（Ｓ６０６）、処理をＳ６０７へ移行させる。一方、制御ユニット１９は、表示態様変更操作が行われていないと判定した場合には（Ｓ６０５：ＮＯ）、Ｓ６０６をスキップして処理をＳ６０７へ移行させる。 If the control unit 19 determines that the display mode change operation has been performed (S605: YES), the control unit 19 changes the display mode according to the display mode change operation (S606), and then shifts the processing to S607. On the other hand, if the control unit 19 determines that the display mode changing operation has not been performed (S605: NO), the control unit 19 skips S606 and shifts the process to S607.
　Ｓ６０７で、制御ユニット１９は、放送番組においてＣＭを再生すべき期間（以下「ＣＭ再生期間」という。）であるか否かを判定する。ＣＭ再生期間は、放送番組ごとに例えば開始時刻及び終了時刻という形式であらかじめ定められている。 In S607, the control unit 19 determines whether or not it is a period in which a CM should be reproduced in the broadcast program (hereinafter referred to as “CM reproduction period”). The CM playback period is predetermined for each broadcast program, for example, in the form of start time and end time.
　制御ユニット１９は、ＣＭ再生期間であると判定した場合には（Ｓ６０７：ＹＥＳ）、優先順位に従いＣＭを選択する（Ｓ６０８）。その前提として、本実施形態では、放送データとして、再生されるＣＭが固定されている放送データ（以下「ＣＭ固定放送データ」という。）と、再生されるＣＭが固定されていない放送データ（以下「ＣＭ可変放送データ」という。）と、が想定されている。 If the control unit 19 determines that it is a CM playback period (S607: YES), it selects a CM according to the priority order (S608). As a premise, in this embodiment, as broadcast data, broadcast data in which a CM to be reproduced is fixed (hereinafter referred to as “CM fixed broadcast data”) and broadcast data in which a CM to be reproduced is not fixed (hereinafter referred to as “CM fixed broadcast data”). "CM variable broadcast data") is assumed.
　ＣＭ可変放送データには、当該放送データの表す放送番組において再生されるべきＣＭ期間よりも合計期間の長いＣＭ（換言すれば、再生されるべきＣＭの数よりも多いＣＭ）が含まれている。例えば、放送番組内のＣＭ期間が合計で５分間であれば、例えば１５秒間のＣＭが２０本含まれることが通常であるが、ＣＭ可変放送データには、例えば１５秒間のＣＭが４０本含まれている。このため、放送データに含まれる複数のＣＭのすべてが再生されるのではなく、複数のＣＭのうちの一部のＣＭが再生される。 The CM variable broadcast data includes CMs having a total period longer than the CM period to be reproduced in the broadcast program represented by the broadcast data (in other words, CMs larger than the number of CMs to be reproduced). . For example, if the CM period in a broadcast program is 5 minutes in total, it is normal that 20 CMs for 15 seconds are included, for example, but the CM variable broadcast data includes 40 CMs for 15 seconds, for example. It is. For this reason, not all of the plurality of CMs included in the broadcast data are reproduced, but a part of the plurality of CMs is reproduced.
　Ｓ６０８の処理は、再生中の放送データがＣＭ可変放送データである場合に、再生されるべきＣＭを優先順位に従い選択する処理である。優先順位は、初期値が設定されているものの、固定値ではなく、後述する処理（Ｓ６１１）により変更され得る。なお、ＣＭ固定放送データの場合、Ｓ６０８の処理自体が不要となるが、見方を変えれば、優先順位が固定されていると捉えることもできる。 The process of S608 is a process of selecting a CM to be reproduced according to the priority order when the broadcast data being reproduced is CM variable broadcast data. Although the priority order is set to an initial value, it is not a fixed value and can be changed by processing (S611) described later. Note that in the case of CM fixed broadcast data, the processing of S608 itself is not necessary, but if the view is changed, it can be considered that the priority order is fixed.
　続いて、制御ユニット１９は、再生されたＣＭの履歴を記録し（Ｓ６０９）、処理をＳ６１０へ移行させる。履歴を記録する理由は、過去に再生（視聴）されていないＣＭと過去に再生（視聴）されたことのあるＣＭとを区別するためである。一方、制御ユニット１９は、ＣＭ再生期間でないと判定した場合には（Ｓ６０７：ＮＯ）、Ｓ６０８～Ｓ６０９をスキップして処理をＳ６１０へ移行させる。 Subsequently, the control unit 19 records the history of the reproduced CM (S609), and shifts the process to S610. The reason for recording the history is to distinguish between CMs that have not been reproduced (viewed) in the past and CMs that have been reproduced (viewed) in the past. On the other hand, if the control unit 19 determines that it is not the CM playback period (S607: NO), it skips S608 to S609 and shifts the process to S610.
　Ｓ６１０で、制御ユニット１９は、視聴を希望する又は希望しないＣＭを選択する操作（以下「ＣＭ選択操作」という。）がユーザにより行われたか否かを判定する。これは、前述したＣＭ可変放送データについて、再生されるべきＣＭの優先順位を変更する操作である。例えば、再生候補のＣＭが一覧表示され、視聴を希望するＣＭ及び視聴を希望しないＣＭがリモコン３などで選択されると、選択結果が反映されるように優先順位が変更されるといった使用方法が想定される。つまり、放送番組のデータに含まれる複数のＣＭのうち、ユーザにより選択されたＣＭが再生される。なお、ＣＭの再生中に拒否操作を行うことで、以降の再生において同一のＣＭがカットされるようにしてもよい。拒否操作は、音声を利用して行われるようにしてもよい。 In S610, the control unit 19 determines whether or not an operation for selecting a CM for which viewing is desired or not desired (hereinafter referred to as “CM selection operation”) has been performed by the user. This is an operation for changing the priority order of CMs to be reproduced for the above-described CM variable broadcast data. For example, a list of playback candidate CMs is displayed, and when a CM that is desired to be viewed and a CM that is not desired to be viewed are selected by the remote controller 3 or the like, the priority order is changed so that the selection result is reflected. is assumed. That is, the CM selected by the user among the plurality of CMs included in the broadcast program data is reproduced. Note that the same CM may be cut in subsequent playback by performing a rejection operation during playback of the CM. The rejection operation may be performed using voice.
　制御ユニット１９は、ＣＭ選択操作がユーザにより行われたと判定した場合には（Ｓ６１０：ＹＥＳ）、ＣＭ選択操作に応じて再生されるべきＣＭの優先順位を変更した後（Ｓ６１１）、処理をＳ６１２へ移行させる。一方、制御ユニット１９は、ＣＭ選択操作がユーザにより行われていないと判定した場合には（Ｓ６１０：ＮＯ）、Ｓ６１１をスキップして処理をＳ６１２へ移行させる。 If the control unit 19 determines that the CM selection operation has been performed by the user (S610: YES), the control unit 19 changes the priority order of the CMs to be reproduced in accordance with the CM selection operation (S611), and then performs the process in S612. To move to. On the other hand, if the control unit 19 determines that the CM selection operation has not been performed by the user (S610: NO), it skips S611 and shifts the process to S612.
　なお、ＣＭの優先順位は、ＣＭ選択操作以外で変更されるようにしてもよい。例えば、Ｓ６０９で記録された履歴（ＣＭ視聴履歴）に基づき、ユーザが過去に再生（視聴）していないＣＭが優先されるように優先順位が変更されるようにしてもよい。また例えば、ユーザの情報（性別、年齢層、趣味等）に応じた優先順位に変更されるようにしてもよい。 Note that the priority order of CMs may be changed by other than the CM selection operation. For example, the priority order may be changed based on the history (CM viewing history) recorded in S609 so that a CM that has not been reproduced (viewed) by the user in the past is given priority. Further, for example, the priority order may be changed according to user information (gender, age group, hobby, etc.).
　Ｓ６１２で、制御ユニット１９は、中断事象が発生したか否かを判定する。中断事象とは、ユーザが放送番組の視聴を中断すべき事象であって、あらかじめ設定されている。本実施形態では、ユーザの電話機に着信があったこと、ユーザが電子メールを受信したこと、ユーザの自宅の防犯センサにより異常が検出されたこと、ユーザの自宅のインターホンが鳴ったこと、などが中断事象として設定されている。 In S612, the control unit 19 determines whether an interruption event has occurred. The interruption event is an event that the user should interrupt the viewing of the broadcast program, and is set in advance. In the present embodiment, there is an incoming call to the user's telephone, that the user has received an e-mail, that an abnormality has been detected by a security sensor at the user's home, an interphone at the user's home has been sounded, etc. Set as an interrupt event.
　制御ユニット１９は、中断事象が発生したと判定した場合には（Ｓ６１２：ＹＥＳ）、放送番組の再生を一時停止する（Ｓ６１３）。なお、一時停止した表示画面に、中断事象に関連する情報（中断事象の種類や防犯カメラの映像等）を表示してもよい。 When the control unit 19 determines that an interruption event has occurred (S612: YES), the control unit 19 pauses the reproduction of the broadcast program (S613). Information related to the interruption event (such as the type of interruption event and the video of the security camera) may be displayed on the temporarily stopped display screen.
　その後、制御ユニット１９は、中断事象が解消したか否かを判定する（Ｓ６１４）。中断事象の解消が具体的に何を意味するかは、中断事象によって異なる。例えば、ユーザの電話機に着信があったことが中断事象である場合、中断事象の解消とは、電話が終了したことである。また例えば、ユーザが電子メールを受信したことが中断事象である場合、中断事象の解消とは、電子メールの操作が終了したことである。また例えば、ユーザの自宅の防犯センサにより異常が検出されたことが中断事象である場合、中断事象の解消とは、ユーザによる異常の確認が終了したことである。また例えば、ユーザの自宅のインターホンが鳴ったことが中断事象である場合、中断事象の解消とは、インターホンを鳴らした来客への応対が終了したことである。 Thereafter, the control unit 19 determines whether or not the interruption event has been resolved (S614). What the cancellation of the interruption event specifically means depends on the interruption event. For example, when the incoming call is received from the user's telephone is an interruption event, the cancellation of the interruption event means that the telephone call is terminated. In addition, for example, when it is an interruption event that the user has received an e-mail, the cancellation of the interruption event means that the operation of the e-mail has ended. For example, when it is an interruption event that an abnormality is detected by the security sensor at the user's home, the cancellation of the interruption event means that the user has confirmed the abnormality. Further, for example, when the interruption event is that the user's home interphone rang, the cancellation of the interruption event means that the reception of the visitor who rang the interphone has ended.
　制御ユニット１９は、中断事象が解消していないと判定した場合には（Ｓ６１４：ＮＯ）、ユーザによる放送番組の再生を再開する操作（一時停止を解除する操作）が行われたか否かを判定する（Ｓ６１５）。制御ユニット１９は、放送番組の再生を再開する操作が行われていないと判定した場合には（Ｓ６１５：ＮＯ）、処理をＳ６１４へ戻す。 If it is determined that the interruption event has not been resolved (S614: NO), the control unit 19 determines whether or not an operation for resuming the reproduction of the broadcast program by the user (an operation for releasing the pause) has been performed. (S615). If the control unit 19 determines that an operation for resuming the reproduction of the broadcast program has not been performed (S615: NO), the control unit 19 returns the process to S614.
　一方、制御ユニット１９は、中断事象が解消したと判定した場合（Ｓ６１４：ＹＥＳ）、又は、放送番組の再生を再開する操作が行われたと判定した場合には（Ｓ６１５：ＹＥＳ）、放送番組の再生を再開し（Ｓ６１６）、処理をＳ６１７へ移行させる。つまり、中断事象が発生した時点で再生が一時停止され、中断事象が解消した時点で再生が再開される。ただし、これに限定されるものではなく、例えば、中断事象が発生しても再生が継続され、中断事象が解消した場合に、中断事象が発生した時点まで戻して再生されるようにしてもよい。 On the other hand, if the control unit 19 determines that the interruption event has been resolved (S614: YES), or if it is determined that an operation to resume playback of the broadcast program has been performed (S615: YES), the control unit 19 Playback is resumed (S616), and the process proceeds to S617. That is, playback is paused when an interruption event occurs, and playback is resumed when the interruption event is resolved. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when the interruption event occurs, the reproduction is continued, and when the interruption event is resolved, the reproduction may be returned to the time point when the interruption event occurs. .
　また、制御ユニット１９は、前述したＳ６１２で、中断事象が発生していないと判定した場合には（Ｓ６１２：ＮＯ）、Ｓ６１３～Ｓ６１５をスキップして処理をＳ６１７へ移行させる。 If the control unit 19 determines in S612 that the interruption event has not occurred (S612: NO), the control unit 19 skips S613 to S615 and shifts the process to S617.
　Ｓ６１７で、制御ユニット１９は、放送番組の再生が終了したか否かを判定する。ここでいう放送番組の終了には、放送番組が最後まで再生されたことだけでなく、ユーザによる停止操作などで再生が終了した場合も含まれる。制御ユニット１９は、放送番組の再生が終了していないと判定した場合には（Ｓ６１７：ＮＯ）、処理をＳ６０１へ戻す。 In S617, the control unit 19 determines whether or not the reproduction of the broadcast program has ended. The end of the broadcast program here includes not only the case where the broadcast program has been reproduced to the end, but also the case where the reproduction has been terminated by a user's stop operation or the like. If the control unit 19 determines that the reproduction of the broadcast program has not ended (S617: NO), the control unit 19 returns the process to S601.
　一方、制御ユニット１９は、放送番組の再生が終了したと判定した場合には（Ｓ６１７：ＹＥＳ）、再生された放送番組に関する情報及びユーザに関する情報をサーバ２へ送信する（Ｓ６１８）。ここでいうサーバ２は、例えば、放送番組及びユーザに関する情報を、テレビ局へ提供してもよい。これにより、テレビ局は、ユーザに対し、視聴された放送番組に関するサービス（例えば、視聴されたドラマに関する特典映像の配信）などを行うことができる。また例えば、サーバ２は、ユーザの所有する携帯装置４や車載ナビゲーション装置などとの情報共有（クラウドサービス）を実現してもよい。これにより、放送番組で紹介された施設等をナビゲーション装置の地図上に表示したり、近くを通った際に報知したりするなどの機能が実現可能となる。 On the other hand, if the control unit 19 determines that the reproduction of the broadcast program has ended (S617: YES), the control unit 19 transmits information regarding the reproduced broadcast program and information regarding the user to the server 2 (S618). The server 2 here may provide information regarding broadcast programs and users to a television station, for example. Thereby, the television station can perform a service related to the broadcast program viewed (for example, distribution of a privileged video related to the viewed drama) to the user. Further, for example, the server 2 may realize information sharing (cloud service) with the mobile device 4 or the in-vehicle navigation device owned by the user. This makes it possible to implement functions such as displaying facilities introduced in a broadcast program on a map of a navigation device or notifying when passing nearby.
　続いて、制御ユニット１９は、再生が終了した放送番組に関連する録画番組を選定する（Ｓ６１９）。ここでいう関連とは、例えば、ジャンル、放送局、出演者などの項目についての共通度の高さとして表される。前述したように、再生された放送番組ではユーザが注目した注目対象が特定されるため、特定された注目対象の共通度が重視されるように録画番組が選定されるようにしてもよい。ただし、これに限定されるものではなく、例えば、スポーツ中継番組の再生が終了した後に、そのスポーツ中継を取り扱ったニュース番組が選定されるといったように、再生された放送番組と特有の関係にある放送番組が選定されるようにしてもよい。 Subsequently, the control unit 19 selects a recorded program related to the broadcast program that has been reproduced (S619). The relation here is expressed as, for example, a high degree of commonality with respect to items such as a genre, a broadcasting station, and performers. As described above, in the reproduced broadcast program, the target of attention noted by the user is specified. Therefore, the recorded program may be selected so that the commonality of the specified target of attention is emphasized. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, after the reproduction of the sports broadcast program is completed, a news program that handles the sports broadcast is selected, and thus the broadcast broadcast program has a specific relationship. A broadcast program may be selected.
　続いて、制御ユニット１９は、Ｓ６１９で選定した録画番組を、テレビ１の表示画面に表示する（Ｓ６２０）。つまり、録画番組の再生後に、当該録画番組に関連する他の録画番組の選択画面が表示される。 Subsequently, the control unit 19 displays the recorded program selected in S619 on the display screen of the television 1 (S620). That is, after the recorded program is reproduced, a screen for selecting another recorded program related to the recorded program is displayed.
　続いて、制御ユニット１９は、ユーザによる放送番組の再生操作が行われたか否かを判定する（Ｓ６２１）。制御ユニット１９は、再生操作が行われていないと判定した場合には（Ｓ６２１：ＮＯ）、ユーザによる通常再生の終了操作が行われたか否かを判定する（Ｓ６２２）。制御ユニット１９は、通常再生の終了操作が行われていないと判定した場合には（Ｓ６２２：ＮＯ）、処理をＳ６２１へ戻す。 Subsequently, the control unit 19 determines whether or not the user has performed a broadcast program playback operation (S621). When the control unit 19 determines that the reproduction operation is not performed (S621: NO), the control unit 19 determines whether or not the user has performed the normal reproduction end operation (S622). If the control unit 19 determines that the normal playback end operation has not been performed (S622: NO), the process returns to S621.
　一方、制御ユニット１９は、再生操作が行われたと判定した場合には（Ｓ６２１：ＹＥＳ）、処理をＳ６０１へ戻し、再生操作により指定された放送番組の再生を開始する。また、制御ユニット１９は、通常再生の終了操作が行われたと判定した場合には（Ｓ６２２：ＹＥＳ）、図１６及び図１７の通常再生処理を終了する。 On the other hand, if the control unit 19 determines that the playback operation has been performed (S621: YES), the control unit 19 returns the process to S601 and starts playback of the broadcast program specified by the playback operation. If the control unit 19 determines that the normal playback end operation has been performed (S622: YES), the control unit 19 ends the normal playback processing of FIGS.
　次に、前述したＳ６０４で実行される選択対象表示処理について、図１８のフローチャートを用いて説明する。
　制御ユニット１９は、放送番組の再生を一時停止する（Ｓ７０１）。 Next, the selection target display process executed in S604 described above will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
The control unit 19 temporarily stops the reproduction of the broadcast program (S701).
　続いて、制御ユニット１９は、選択対象を表す情報と、再生中の放送番組を視聴しているユーザ（Ｓ６０１で特定されたユーザ）を表す情報（例えば、固有情報、電子メールアドレス、電話番号、住所等）と、をサーバ２へ送信する（Ｓ７０２）。ここでいうサーバ２は、選択対象に関する詳細情報を提供する機能を有するが、これに限定されるものではない。例えば、サーバ２は、選択対象の商品の販売業者（食品メーカー、洋服メーカー、自動車ディーラー、住宅メーカー等）へ送信情報を通知する機能を有していてもよい。このようにすれば、選択対象に関する資料（試供品、商品、カタログ等）などが販売業者からユーザへ郵送や電子メール等で送付されるサービスを実現することができる。例えば、商品自体が郵送され、ユーザが気に入らなければ無料で返品できるようにしてもよい。なお、電子メールは、テレビ１で受信されるようにしてもよく、ユーザの携帯装置４で受信されるようにしてもよい。 Subsequently, the control unit 19 includes information indicating the selection target and information indicating the user (the user specified in S601) who is viewing the broadcast program being played (for example, unique information, an e-mail address, a telephone number, Address etc.) is transmitted to the server 2 (S702). The server 2 here has a function of providing detailed information regarding the selection target, but is not limited thereto. For example, the server 2 may have a function of notifying transmission information to a seller of a product to be selected (a food manufacturer, a clothes manufacturer, a car dealer, a housing manufacturer, etc.). In this way, it is possible to realize a service in which materials (samples, products, catalogs, etc.) related to the selection target are sent from the seller to the user by mail or e-mail. For example, the product itself may be mailed and returned free of charge if the user does not like it. The electronic mail may be received by the television 1 or may be received by the user's portable device 4.
　続いて、制御ユニット１９は、選択対象に関する詳細情報をサーバ２から取得する（Ｓ７０３）。詳細情報は、放送番組の種類や選択対象の種類などによって異なり得る。例えば、選択対象が衣服や自動車などの商品である場合、その商品自体の情報（例えば、商品名、説明、価格）や、その商品を販売している最寄りの店舗についての情報（例えば、店名、住所、地図）などが詳細情報として提供されるようにしてもよい。また例えば、選択対象が施設である場合、その施設の名称、説明、住所、地図などが詳細情報として提供されるようにしてもよい。 Subsequently, the control unit 19 acquires detailed information regarding the selection target from the server 2 (S703). The detailed information may vary depending on the type of broadcast program, the type of selection target, and the like. For example, when the selection target is a product such as clothes or a car, information on the product itself (for example, product name, description, price) and information on the nearest store selling the product (for example, store name, Address, map, etc.) may be provided as detailed information. For example, when the selection target is a facility, the name, description, address, map, and the like of the facility may be provided as detailed information.
　続いて、制御ユニット１９は、選択対象に関する詳細情報（Ｓ７０３で取得した情報）をテレビ１の表示画面に表示する（Ｓ７０４）。なお、詳細情報を表示する装置はテレビ１に限定されるものではなく、例えば携帯装置４の表示画面に表示されるようにしてもよい。 Subsequently, the control unit 19 displays detailed information on the selection target (information acquired in S703) on the display screen of the television 1 (S704). In addition, the apparatus which displays detailed information is not limited to the television 1, For example, you may make it display on the display screen of the portable apparatus 4. FIG.
　続いて、制御ユニット１９は、表示画面に表示された情報に応じた操作がユーザにより行われたか否かを判定する（Ｓ７０５）。ここでいう操作とは、情報を閲覧するための閲覧操作に限定されるものではなく、例えば、商品を購入する購入操作であってもよい。具体的には、例えば料理番組等で紹介されたレシピに用いられる食材等を注文できるようにしてもよい。また、購入操作の場合、商品の残数が表示され、購買意欲があおられるようにしてもよい。 Subsequently, the control unit 19 determines whether or not an operation corresponding to the information displayed on the display screen has been performed by the user (S705). The operation here is not limited to a browsing operation for browsing information, and may be a purchasing operation for purchasing a product, for example. Specifically, for example, it may be possible to order ingredients used for a recipe introduced in a cooking program or the like. Further, in the case of a purchase operation, the remaining number of products may be displayed so as to encourage purchase.
　制御ユニット１９は、表示画面に表示された情報に応じた操作がユーザにより行われたと判定した場合には（Ｓ７０５：ＹＥＳ）、操作に応じた処理を行った後（Ｓ７０６）、処理をＳ７０７へ移行させる。ここでいう操作に応じた処理とは、例えば閲覧操作であれば操作に応じた画像を表示する処理であり、例えば購入操作であれば購入画面を表示する処理や決済を行うための処理である。 If the control unit 19 determines that an operation according to the information displayed on the display screen has been performed by the user (S705: YES), the control unit 19 performs a process according to the operation (S706), and then moves the process to S707. Transition. The process according to the operation here is, for example, a process for displaying an image according to the operation if it is a browsing operation, and a process for displaying a purchase screen or a process for performing a settlement if it is a purchase operation, for example. .
　一方、制御ユニット１９は、表示画面に表示された情報に応じた操作がユーザにより行われていないと判定した場合には（Ｓ７０５：ＮＯ）、Ｓ７０６をスキップして処理をＳ７０７へ移行させる。 On the other hand, if the control unit 19 determines that an operation corresponding to the information displayed on the display screen has not been performed by the user (S705: NO), the control unit 19 skips S706 and shifts the process to S707.
　Ｓ７０７で、制御ユニット１９は、放送番組の再生を再開する操作がユーザにより行われたか否かを判定する（Ｓ７０７）。制御ユニット１９は、放送番組の再生再開操作がユーザにより行われていないと判定した場合には（Ｓ７０７：ＮＯ）、処理をＳ７０５へ戻す。 In S707, the control unit 19 determines whether or not an operation for resuming the reproduction of the broadcast program has been performed by the user (S707). If the control unit 19 determines that the broadcast program playback restart operation has not been performed by the user (S707: NO), the control unit 19 returns the process to S705.
　一方、制御ユニット１９は、放送番組の再生再開操作がユーザにより行われたと判定した場合には（Ｓ７０７：ＹＥＳ）、放送番組の再生を再開し（Ｓ７０８）、図１８の選択対象表示処理を終了する。つまり、対象選択操作が行われた時点で再生が一時停止され、再生再開操作が行われた時点で再生が再開される。ただし、これに限定されるものではなく、例えば、対象選択操作が行われても再生が継続され、再生再開操作が行われた場合に、対象選択操作が行われた時点まで戻して再生されるようにしてもよい。 On the other hand, if the control unit 19 determines that the broadcast program playback restart operation has been performed by the user (S707: YES), the control unit 19 restarts the broadcast program playback (S708) and ends the selection target display process of FIG. To do. That is, playback is paused when a target selection operation is performed, and playback is restarted when a playback restart operation is performed. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when the target selection operation is performed, the playback is continued, and when the playback restart operation is performed, the playback is returned to the time when the target selection operation is performed. You may do it.
　次に、テレビ１で実行されるおすすめ番組選定処理について、図１９のフローチャートを用いて説明する。なお、図１９のおすすめ番組選定処理は、定期的に（例えば１日に１回）実行される。 Next, the recommended program selection process executed on the television 1 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. Note that the recommended program selection processing in FIG. 19 is executed periodically (for example, once a day).
　制御ユニット１９は、録画番組のうち、過去に再生された放送番組に関連する他の放送番組をおすすめ番組として選定する（Ｓ８０１）。過去に再生された放送番組は、例えば最新の１つでもよく、また、複数でもよい。関連する放送番組は、前述したＳ６１９と同様の条件で選定されるようにしてもよい。また、前述したように、再生された放送番組ではユーザが注目した注目対象が特定されるため、特定された注目対象に関連する放送番組がおすすめ番組として選定されるようにしてもよい。 The control unit 19 selects another broadcast program related to the broadcast program reproduced in the past as a recommended program among the recorded programs (S801). The broadcast program reproduced in the past may be, for example, the latest one or a plurality of programs. The related broadcast program may be selected under the same conditions as in S619 described above. Further, as described above, since the target of attention noted by the user is specified in the reproduced broadcast program, the broadcast program related to the specified target of attention may be selected as the recommended program.
　続いて、制御ユニット１９は、ユーザの所持する携帯装置４からユーザのライフログの情報であるログ情報を取得する（Ｓ８０２）。なお、携帯装置４から取得されるログ情報の具体例については後述する（図２０）。 Subsequently, the control unit 19 acquires log information that is information on the life log of the user from the portable device 4 possessed by the user (S802). A specific example of log information acquired from the portable device 4 will be described later (FIG. 20).
　続いて、制御ユニット１９は、取得したログ情報に基づいて、録画番組の中からおすすめ番組を選定する（Ｓ８０３）。例えば、ユーザが過去に訪問した施設に関する放送番組や、会話や検索キーワードなどで用いられた内容に関する放送番組などが、おすすめ番組として選定される。 Subsequently, the control unit 19 selects a recommended program from the recorded programs based on the acquired log information (S803). For example, broadcast programs related to facilities visited by the user in the past, broadcast programs related to contents used in conversations, search keywords, and the like are selected as recommended programs.
　続いて、制御ユニット１９は、サーバ２から類似ユーザの視聴情報を取得する（Ｓ８０４）。類似ユーザとは、ユーザと共通点の多い他のユーザのことである。共通点を判断する項目としては、例えば、性別、年齢層、配偶者の有無、子供の有無、居住地、出身地、趣味などが挙げられる。視聴情報は、ユーザが視聴した放送番組に関する情報であり、例えば前述したＳ６１８の処理でサーバ２へ送信される。 Subsequently, the control unit 19 acquires viewing information of similar users from the server 2 (S804). Similar users are other users who have much in common with users. Items that determine common points include, for example, gender, age group, marital status, presence / absence of children, residence, hometown, hobbies, and the like. The viewing information is information related to the broadcast program viewed by the user, and is transmitted to the server 2 by the process of S618 described above, for example.
　続いて、制御ユニット１９は、取得した視聴情報に基づいて、録画番組の中からおすすめ番組を選定し（Ｓ８０５）、図１９のおすすめ番組選定処理を終了する。例えば、類似ユーザの視聴情報が統計処理されて視聴率の高い放送番組が特定され、特定された放送番組がおすすめ番組として選定される。例えば、３０代男性で趣味がゴルフのユーザの多くが視聴する番組が選定される。なお、視聴情報の取得対象は類似ユーザに限定されるものではなく、例えばユーザの知人（友人等）としてもよい。 Subsequently, the control unit 19 selects a recommended program from the recorded programs based on the acquired viewing information (S805), and ends the recommended program selection process of FIG. For example, the viewing information of similar users is statistically processed to identify a broadcast program with a high audience rating, and the identified broadcast program is selected as a recommended program. For example, a program that is watched by many users who are males in their 30s and who have a hobby of golf is selected. Note that the viewing information acquisition target is not limited to similar users, and may be, for example, a user's acquaintance (such as a friend).
　次に、携帯装置４で実行されるライフログ取得処理について、図２０のフローチャートを用いて説明する。なお、図２０のライフログ取得処理は、ライフログ記録用のアプリケーションが携帯装置４で起動されることにより開始されて繰り返し実行され、当該アプリケーションが終了されることにより終了される。 Next, the life log acquisition process executed by the portable device 4 will be described using the flowchart of FIG. Note that the life log acquisition process in FIG. 20 is started and repeated when a life log recording application is activated on the mobile device 4, and is terminated when the application is terminated.
　制御ユニット４６は、音入力ユニット４３により入力される音を解析する（Ｓ９０１）。音入力ユニット４３により入力される音としては、例えば、通話中のユーザの音声が挙げられる。ただし、これに限定されるものではなく、例えば通話中以外にも音を常時入力するようにしてもよい。このようにすれば、普段の会話の内容を解析するといったことが可能となる。また、テレビ１から出力された音を入力して解析（例えばデータベースと照合）し、ユーザが視聴中の放送番組を特定するようにしてもよい。また、携帯装置４がテレビ１のリモコンとして使用された場合の操作に基づいて、ユーザが視聴中の放送番組を特定するようにしてもよい。 The control unit 46 analyzes the sound input by the sound input unit 43 (S901). As the sound input by the sound input unit 43, for example, the voice of the user during a call can be cited. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a sound may be constantly input other than during a call. In this way, it is possible to analyze the contents of a normal conversation. Also, the sound output from the television 1 may be input and analyzed (for example, collated with a database) to identify the broadcast program that the user is viewing. Further, based on an operation when the portable device 4 is used as a remote controller of the television 1, a broadcast program being viewed by the user may be specified.
　続いて、制御ユニット４６は、撮影ユニット４２により入力される撮影画像を解析する（Ｓ９０２）。例えば、周囲の状況を常時撮影し、場所などを判断する材料としてもよい。また例えば、ユーザの視線や表情などを監視してもよい。 Subsequently, the control unit 46 analyzes the photographed image input by the photographing unit 42 (S902). For example, the surrounding situation may be constantly taken and used as a material for determining the location. Further, for example, the user's line of sight or facial expression may be monitored.
　続いて、制御ユニット４６は、携帯装置４を所持するユーザの行動を、種々の情報から解析する（Ｓ９０３）。種々の情報には、Ｓ９０１で解析した音の情報や、Ｓ９０２で解析した撮影画像の情報の他に、時刻、位置、ユーザにより設定されたスケジュール、案内データなどが挙げられる。ここでいう位置とは、ＧＰＳ等により検出される地図上の位置であり、位置の変化（移動速度）に基づいて、移動手段（徒歩、電車、自動車等）や停滞時間などが特定される。また、ここでいう案内データには、ナビゲーション機能で設定された案内ルートの他、公共交通機関の乗車、乗り換え等の情報が含まれる。こうした種々の情報から、ユーザの行動が推定される。 Subsequently, the control unit 46 analyzes the behavior of the user carrying the portable device 4 from various information (S903). The various information includes time information, position, a schedule set by the user, guidance data, and the like in addition to the sound information analyzed in S901 and the captured image information analyzed in S902. The position here is a position on a map detected by GPS or the like, and a moving means (walking, train, car, etc.), a stagnation time, etc. are specified based on a change in position (moving speed). In addition, the guidance data here includes information such as boarding and changing of public transportation, in addition to the guidance route set by the navigation function. A user's action is estimated from such various information.
　［３．効果］
　以上詳述した実施形態によれば、以下の効果が得られる。
　［３Ａ］放送番組に関する視聴者による評価を表す評価データが外部のサーバ２からテレビ１へ送信され、録画された放送番組に関する情報と、当該放送番組に関する評価データの表す評価と、が関連付けてテレビ１に表示される。したがって、テレビ１のユーザは、全番組録画機能で録画された放送番組の中から、視聴すべき放送番組を、他の視聴者による評価に基づいて選択することができる。 [3. effect]
According to the embodiment detailed above, the following effects can be obtained.
[3A] Evaluation data representing the evaluation by the viewer regarding the broadcast program is transmitted from the external server 2 to the television 1, and the information regarding the recorded broadcast program is associated with the evaluation represented by the evaluation data regarding the broadcast program. 1 is displayed. Therefore, the user of the television 1 can select the broadcast program to be viewed from the broadcast programs recorded by the all program recording function based on the evaluation by other viewers.
　［３Ｂ］録画された複数の放送番組に関する情報が、放送番組ごとに、評価の有無を視認可能な表示態様でテレビ１に一覧表示される。したがって、テレビ１のユーザは、複数の放送番組のそれぞれについて、視聴者により評価がされているか否かを容易に識別することができる。 [3B] Information regarding a plurality of recorded broadcast programs is displayed in a list on the television 1 in a display manner in which the presence or absence of evaluation can be visually recognized for each broadcast program. Therefore, the user of the television 1 can easily identify whether or not each of the plurality of broadcast programs has been evaluated by the viewer.
　［３Ｃ］再生されている放送番組に関するユーザによる評価がテレビ１により入力され、入力された評価がテレビ１からサーバ２へ送信される。したがって、テレビ１のユーザは、他の視聴者による評価を閲覧するだけでなく、自身による評価を他の視聴者に閲覧させることができる。 [3C] Evaluation by the user regarding the broadcast program being played is input by the television 1, and the input evaluation is transmitted from the television 1 to the server 2. Therefore, the user of the television 1 can not only browse the evaluations by other viewers but also allow other viewers to browse the evaluations by himself / herself.
　［３Ｄ］テレビ１のユーザによる評価は、放送番組における具体的場面（放送番組における１つの時点）に紐付けされる。したがって、テレビ１のユーザは、他の視聴者による評価が、放送番組におけるどの場面に対するものであるかを、具体的に特定することができる。しかも、ユーザが評価を指定することで、評価が行われた時点を含む放送番組の一部期間がダイジェスト再生されるため、ユーザは、他の視聴者により評価された内容を簡易的に視聴した上で、再生する放送番組（録画番組）を選択することができる。 [3D] Evaluation by the user of the television 1 is linked to a specific scene in the broadcast program (one time point in the broadcast program). Therefore, the user of the television 1 can specifically specify which scene in the broadcast program the evaluation by other viewers is for. In addition, since the user designates the evaluation, a part of the broadcast program including the time point at which the evaluation is performed is digest-reproduced. Therefore, the user simply viewed the content evaluated by other viewers. In the above, a broadcast program (recorded program) to be reproduced can be selected.
　［３Ｅ］テレビ１のユーザは、ジェスチャーや発声によっても評価を入力することができる。したがって、テレビ１のユーザは、放送番組の視聴を損ないにくい形で、かつ、短時間で評価を入力することができる。 [3E] The user of the television 1 can input an evaluation also by gestures and utterances. Therefore, the user of the television 1 can input the evaluation in a short time and in a form that does not impair the viewing of the broadcast program.
　［３Ｆ］テレビ１のユーザが放送番組の視聴中に笑うなどした場合、その表情や笑い声に基づく推測により評価が自動的に入力される。したがって、テレビ１のユーザは、特別に意識することなく、放送番組に対する評価を入力することができる。 [3F] When a user of the television 1 laughs while watching a broadcast program, the evaluation is automatically input by estimation based on the facial expression and laughter. Therefore, the user of the television 1 can input the evaluation for the broadcast program without special awareness.
　［３Ｇ］複数のユーザが１台のテレビ１を共有する環境においても、評価を行ったユーザを評価者情報により区別することができる。特に、携帯装置４から評価が入力された場合には、携帯装置４に記憶されている所有ユーザの情報が評価者情報として送信されるため、携帯装置４のユーザは、評価者情報の入力操作を省略することが可能となる。また、顔認識や音声認識などにより評価者情報が特定される場合も同様に、ユーザによる評価者情報の入力操作を省略することが可能となる。 [3G] Even in an environment in which a plurality of users share one television 1, it is possible to distinguish the users who have performed the evaluation by the evaluator information. In particular, when an evaluation is input from the portable device 4, the user information stored in the portable device 4 is transmitted as the evaluator information. Therefore, the user of the portable device 4 can input the evaluator information. Can be omitted. Similarly, when the evaluator information is specified by face recognition or voice recognition, it is possible to omit the user's input operation of the evaluator information.
　［３Ｈ］テレビ１は、登録者による評価のみ表示することが可能であるため、ユーザは、不特定多数のユーザによる評価の中から、興味のあるユーザの評価のみを利用することができる。 [3H] Since the television 1 can display only the evaluation by the registrant, the user can use only the evaluation of the interested user among the evaluations by an unspecified number of users.
　［３Ｉ］テレビ１は、ネタバレ情報を表示しないようにすることが可能であるため、ユーザは、ネタバレ情報を閲覧しにくい形で、他の視聴者による評価を閲覧することができる。 [3I] Since the television 1 can prevent spoiler information from being displayed, the user can browse evaluations by other viewers in a manner that makes it difficult to browse spoiler information.
　［３Ｊ］テレビ１は、対象選択操作がユーザにより行われた場合に、選択された対象候補に関する情報を表示する。したがって、ユーザは、再生中の映像において対象候補を選択するだけで、選択した対象候補に関する情報を閲覧することができる。 [3J] The television 1 displays information on the selected target candidate when the target selection operation is performed by the user. Therefore, the user can browse information related to the selected target candidate simply by selecting the target candidate in the video being played back.
　なお、上記実施形態では、録画番組を再生する録画再生処理において、対象候補を選択する対象選択操作がユーザにより行われた場合に、選択された対象候補に関する情報を表示する処理を例示したが、これに限定されるものではない。例えば、放送局から放送されている放送データの表す放送番組を再生する放送再生処理において、対象候補を選択する対象選択操作がユーザにより行われた場合に、選択された対象候補に関する情報を表示するようにしてもよい。 In the above-described embodiment, in the recording / playback processing for playing back a recorded program, when the target selection operation for selecting the target candidate is performed by the user, the processing for displaying information on the selected target candidate is exemplified. It is not limited to this. For example, in broadcast reproduction processing for reproducing a broadcast program represented by broadcast data broadcast from a broadcast station, information regarding the selected target candidate is displayed when a target selection operation for selecting the target candidate is performed by the user. You may do it.
　［３Ｋ］テレビ１は、対象選択操作がユーザにより行われた場合に、放送番組の再生を停止した後、選択された対象候補に関する情報を表示する。したがって、対象選択操作が行われても放送番組の再生が停止されない構成と比較して、放送番組の続きが気になりにくい形で対象候補に関する情報を表示することができる。 [3K] The television 1 displays information about the selected target candidate after stopping the reproduction of the broadcast program when the target selection operation is performed by the user. Therefore, as compared with the configuration in which the reproduction of the broadcast program is not stopped even if the target selection operation is performed, the information on the target candidate can be displayed in a form in which the continuation of the broadcast program is less likely to occur.
　［３Ｌ］テレビ１は、対象選択操作がユーザにより行われた場合に、選択された対象候補及びユーザを表す情報を外部のサーバ２へ通知する。したがって、ユーザに選択された対象候補についての種々のサービスを実現することが可能となる。 [3L] When the target selection operation is performed by the user, the [3L] television 1 notifies the external server 2 of information indicating the selected target candidate and the user. Therefore, it is possible to realize various services for the target candidate selected by the user.
　［３Ｍ］テレビ１は、録画番組の中から、ユーザに応じたおすすめ番組を選定し、おすすめ番組に関する情報を、おすすめ番組以外の放送番組に関する情報とは異なる態様で表示する。したがって、録画された放送番組の中から、ユーザに応じた放送番組を選択しやすくすることができる。その結果、ユーザは、特段意識しなくても、関心の高い放送番組を視聴しやすくなる。 [3M] The television 1 selects a recommended program according to the user from the recorded programs, and displays information related to the recommended program in a manner different from information related to the broadcast program other than the recommended program. Therefore, it is possible to easily select a broadcast program according to the user from the recorded broadcast programs. As a result, the user can easily watch a broadcast program with high interest without being particularly conscious.
　なお、上記実施形態では全番組録画機能を前提としているが、これに限定されるものではなく、ユーザの操作により指定された放送番組が録画されるようにしてもよい。この場合、例えば、テレビ１が、前述した図１９の処理で、放送予定の放送番組の中からおすすめ番組を選定し、選定したおすすめ番組を録画予約するようにしてもよい。このような構成によれば、ユーザに応じた放送番組が自動的に録画されるようにすることができる。その結果、ユーザは、特段意識しなくても、関心の高い放送番組を視聴しやすくなる。また、この場合、録画予約された放送番組（予約結果）が携帯装置４へ通知されるようにしてもよい。 In the above embodiment, the all program recording function is assumed. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a broadcast program designated by a user operation may be recorded. In this case, for example, the television 1 may select a recommended program from broadcast programs scheduled to be broadcast in the process of FIG. 19 described above, and reserve the selected recommended program for recording. According to such a configuration, a broadcast program corresponding to the user can be automatically recorded. As a result, the user can easily watch a broadcast program with high interest without being particularly conscious. In this case, a broadcast program (reservation result) reserved for recording may be notified to the portable device 4.
　［３Ｎ］テレビ１は、再生された放送番組に関連する他の放送番組をおすすめ番組として選定するため、ユーザが、視聴した放送番組に関連する他の放送番組を見逃してしまうことを生じにくくすることができる。 [3N] Since the television 1 selects other broadcast programs related to the reproduced broadcast program as recommended programs, it is difficult for the user to miss other broadcast programs related to the viewed broadcast program. be able to.
　［３Ｏ］テレビ１は、ユーザのライフログの情報であるログ情報に基づいておすすめ番組を選定するため、ユーザにとって関心の高い放送番組を視聴する機会を増やすことが可能となる。 [3O] Since the television 1 selects a recommended program based on log information that is information of a user's life log, it is possible to increase opportunities to view a broadcast program that is highly interested for the user.
　［３Ｐ］テレビ１は、ユーザの所持する携帯装置４からログ情報を取得するため、ユーザのライフログの多くを取得することができる。その結果、ユーザの関心の高い放送番組を種々の観点から選定することが可能となる。 [3P] The television 1 obtains log information from the portable device 4 possessed by the user, and thus can obtain most of the user's life log. As a result, it is possible to select a broadcast program with high user interest from various viewpoints.
　［３Ｑ］テレビ１は、再生中の放送番組を視聴するユーザの視線に基づいて、再生中の映像において注目されている対象を特定し、特定した対象に関連する放送番組をおすすめ番組として選定する。したがって、単に放送番組の単位でユーザの嗜好を判断する場合と比較して、より正確にユーザの嗜好を判断することができる。 [3Q] The television 1 identifies a target that is attracting attention in the video being played based on the line of sight of the user viewing the broadcast program being played, and selects a broadcast program related to the specified target as a recommended program. . Therefore, it is possible to determine the user's preference more accurately as compared with the case where the user's preference is simply determined for each broadcast program.
　［３Ｒ］テレビ１は、視点可変放送データに含まれる複数の視点から見た映像のうち、ユーザにより指定された映像を表示画面に表示する。したがって、１つの視点の映像しか表示されない構成と比較して、ユーザに応じた情報を提供することが可能となる。 [3R] The television 1 displays, on the display screen, a video designated by the user among videos viewed from a plurality of viewpoints included in the variable viewpoint broadcast data. Therefore, it is possible to provide information according to the user as compared with a configuration in which only one viewpoint video is displayed.
　なお、上記実施形態では、録画番組を再生する録画再生処理において、表示態様変更操作がユーザにより行われた場合に、テレビ１の表示画面に表示される映像の表示態様を変更する処理を例示したが、これに限定されるものではない。例えば、放送局から放送されている放送データの表す放送番組を再生する放送再生処理において、表示態様変更操作がユーザにより行われた場合に、テレビ１の表示画面に表示される映像の表示態様を変更するようにしてもよい。 In the above embodiment, the process of changing the display mode of the video displayed on the display screen of the television 1 when the display mode changing operation is performed by the user in the recording / playback process of playing back the recorded program. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in a broadcast reproduction process for reproducing a broadcast program represented by broadcast data broadcast from a broadcast station, when a display mode change operation is performed by a user, a display mode of a video displayed on the display screen of the television 1 is changed. It may be changed.
　［３Ｓ］テレビ１は、範囲可変放送データの表す映像のうちの一部であってユーザにより指定された部分を表示画面に表示する。したがって、表示される部分が固定された構成と比較して、ユーザに応じた情報を提供することが可能となる。 [3S] The television 1 displays a part of the video represented by the variable range broadcast data, which is designated by the user, on the display screen. Therefore, it is possible to provide information according to the user as compared with the configuration in which the displayed portion is fixed.
　［３Ｔ］テレビ１は、ＣＭ可変放送データに含まれる複数のＣＭのうちの一部のＣＭを再生するため、再生されるＣＭがあらかじめ決められている構成と比較して、より効果的な宣伝を行うことが可能となる。 [3T] Since the television 1 reproduces a part of a plurality of CMs included in the CM variable broadcast data, the advertisement is more effective than the configuration in which the CM to be reproduced is determined in advance. Can be performed.
　なお、上記実施形態では、録画番組を再生する録画再生処理において、ＣＭ可変放送データに含まれる複数のＣＭのうちの一部のＣＭを再生する処理を例示したが、これに限定されるものではない。例えば、放送局から放送されている放送データの表す放送番組を再生する放送再生処理において、ＣＭ可変放送データに含まれる複数のＣＭのうちの一部のＣＭを再生するようにしてもよい。 In the above embodiment, in the recording / playback process for playing back a recorded program, a process for playing back a part of a plurality of CMs included in the CM variable broadcast data is exemplified. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Absent. For example, in a broadcast reproduction process for reproducing a broadcast program represented by broadcast data broadcast from a broadcast station, a part of the CMs included in the CM variable broadcast data may be reproduced.
　［３Ｕ］テレビ１は、ＣＭ可変放送データに含まれる複数のＣＭのうち、ユーザにより選択されたＣＭを再生するため、ユーザにとってより関心の高いＣＭが再生されるようにすることができる。 [3U] The television 1 reproduces a CM selected by the user from among a plurality of CMs included in the CM variable broadcast data, so that a CM more interested for the user can be reproduced.
　［３Ｖ］テレビ１は、ＣＭ可変放送データに含まれる複数のＣＭのうち、ユーザが過去に視聴していないことが優先されるように選択されたＣＭを再生するため、より宣伝効果の高いＣＭが再生されるようにすることができる。 [3V] The television 1 plays a CM selected so that priority is given to the fact that the user has not viewed it in the past from among a plurality of CMs included in the CM variable broadcast data. Can be played.
　［４．他の実施形態］
　以上、本発明の実施形態について説明したが、本発明は、上記実施形態に限定されることなく、種々の形態を採り得ることは言うまでもない。 [4. Other Embodiments]
As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was described, it cannot be overemphasized that this invention can take a various form, without being limited to the said embodiment.
　［４－１．評価内容情報］
　［４－１Ａ］評価内容情報は、上記実施形態で例示したものに限定されない。例えば、定形評価として、イラスト（スタンプ）や定形句（いわゆるツッコミ等）などが用いられてもよい。このようにすれば、簡易的な操作で多様な評価を行うことができる。 [4-1. Evaluation content information]
[4-1A] The evaluation content information is not limited to that exemplified in the above embodiment. For example, an illustration (stamp), a fixed phrase (so-called Tsukkomi, etc.), etc. may be used as the standard evaluation. In this way, various evaluations can be performed with simple operations.
　［４－１Ｂ］リモコン３や携帯装置４などのボタン操作、ジェスチャー、発声などにより評価が入力された時点でユーザを撮影し、撮影画像を評価内容情報又は評価者情報として利用してもよい。このようにすれば、評価対象の場面を視聴している状態又はそれに近い状態のユーザの撮影画像を利用することができる。 [4-1B] A user may be photographed when evaluation is input by button operation, gesture, utterance, or the like of the remote controller 3 or the portable device 4, and the photographed image may be used as evaluation content information or evaluator information. In this way, it is possible to use the user's captured image in a state where the scene to be evaluated is being viewed or in a state close thereto.
　［４－２．評価対象情報］
　［４－２Ａ］評価対象情報に含まれる放送日時の情報は、評価の入力に要するタイムラグを加味して、評価が入力されたタイミングよりも前のタイミング（例えば所定時間ずらしたタイミング）を基準として特定されるようにしてもよい。このようにすれば、評価対象情報に含まれる放送日時を実際の日時に近づけることが可能となる。具体的には、例えば定形評価よりも自由評価の方がタイムラグが大きくなるといったように、タイムラグの長さが異なることが想定されるため、こうしたタイムラグの想定長さに応じて、基準となるタイミングをずらす度合いを変更してもよい。このようにすれば、評価対象情報に含まれる放送日時をより適切なものとすることができる。なお、ユーザによる操作によって評価が入力される場合、操作の開始時点を放送日時として特定すれば、タイムラグを少なくすることができる。 [4-2. Evaluation target information]
[4-2A] The broadcast date and time information included in the evaluation target information is based on a timing (for example, a timing shifted by a predetermined time) before the timing at which the evaluation is input, taking into account the time lag required for the input of the evaluation. It may be specified. In this way, the broadcast date and time included in the evaluation target information can be brought closer to the actual date and time. Specifically, since the time lag length is assumed to be different, for example, the free evaluation has a larger time lag than the standard evaluation, the reference timing depends on the expected time lag length. The degree of shifting may be changed. In this way, the broadcast date and time included in the evaluation target information can be made more appropriate. When the evaluation is input by the user's operation, the time lag can be reduced by specifying the start time of the operation as the broadcast date and time.
　［４－２Ｂ］テレビ１は、ユーザによる評価を入力する際、又は、評価の入力後に、再生中の放送番組における評価の入力前後の映像を例えばサムネイル画像で表示画面に表示し、評価した場面をユーザに特定させるようにしてもよい。このようにすれば、評価対象の場面をユーザ自身により正確に特定させることができる。 [4-2B] The television 1 displays the video before and after the input of the evaluation in the broadcast program being played on the display screen when the evaluation is input by the user or after the input of the evaluation, for example, on the display screen. May be specified by the user. In this way, the scene to be evaluated can be accurately specified by the user himself / herself.
　［４－２Ｃ］評価した場面だけでなく、評価した場所（表示画面における位置、人物など）をユーザが特定できるようにしてもよい。このようにすれば、評価した場所を視認できる形で評価を表示するといったことが可能となり、他の視聴者による評価を閲覧するユーザが、その視聴者による評価対象をより詳細に把握することができる。 [4-2C] The user may be able to specify not only the evaluated scene but also the evaluated place (position, person, etc. on the display screen). In this way, it is possible to display the evaluation in such a way that the evaluated place can be visually recognized, and the user browsing the evaluation by another viewer can grasp the evaluation target by the viewer in more detail. it can.
　［４－３．評価者情報］
　［４－３Ａ］テレビ１を視聴するユーザの年齢を撮影画像から推測してもよい。このようにすれば、ユーザが年齢を入力するための操作を省略することができる。また、推測などにより特定したユーザの年齢に基づいて、放送番組の視聴制限を行ってもよい。また、他のシステム（例えばたばこの販売システム）で利用されている年齢証明用のＩＤカードなどを流用してユーザの年齢を判定してもよい。また、リモコン３に年齢申告用のボタンを設けてもよい。なお、このような技術（年齢の推測や特定、年齢に基づく制限など）は、ウェブサイトの閲覧にも適用可能である。また、評価者はテレビ１を視聴するユーザに限定されるものではなく、例えば、最高視聴率の場面に評価（例えば前述した付箋のアイコン）が付されるようにするなど、テレビ局による評価が含まれていてもよい。 [4-3. Evaluator information]
[4-3A] The age of the user who views the television 1 may be estimated from the captured image. In this way, the operation for the user to input the age can be omitted. In addition, viewing restriction of broadcast programs may be performed based on the age of the user specified by estimation or the like. Further, the age of the user may be determined by diverting an ID card for age certification used in other systems (for example, a cigarette sales system). Moreover, you may provide the button for age declaration in the remote control 3. FIG. Such techniques (estimation and identification of age, restrictions based on age, etc.) can also be applied to browsing websites. In addition, the evaluator is not limited to the user who views the television 1, and includes an evaluation by a television station, for example, an evaluation (for example, the aforementioned sticky note icon) is attached to a scene with the highest audience rating. It may be.
　［４－４．評価の出力態様］
　［４－４Ａ］放送番組単位や具体的な場面単位など、一定条件で抽出した評価を統計する処理をサーバ２又はテレビ１で実行し、統計結果を表示してもよい。例えば、定形評価の項目（例えば喜怒哀楽などの感情評価の項目）やユーザのカテゴリ（例えば性別や年齢層）ごとに評価数を集計し、その結果をそのまま表示してもよい。また、評価数が多い項目だけを代表的な評価として表示してもよい（換言すれば、評価数が少ない項目は少数意見として表示しないようにしてもよい）。また、複数の評価項目を総括した評価（例えば点数やランク付け）を行ってもよい。この場合、ユーザが、複数の評価項目について、総括評価に寄与する度合い（重み付け）を変更できるようにしてもよい。また、他のユーザのうち、共通する評価対象についての評価が類似する傾向にあるユーザを感性の合うユーザとして特定し、感性の合うユーザによる評価を優先して表示したり、重み付けを大きくしたりしてもよい。 [4-4. Evaluation output mode]
[4-4A] The server 2 or the television 1 may execute processing for statistically evaluating evaluations extracted under certain conditions such as broadcast program units or specific scene units, and display the statistical results. For example, the number of evaluations may be aggregated for each item of standard evaluation (for example, an emotion evaluation item such as emotion, etc.) or a user category (for example, gender or age group), and the result may be displayed as it is. Further, only items with a large number of evaluations may be displayed as representative evaluations (in other words, items with a small number of evaluations may not be displayed as minority opinions). Moreover, you may perform evaluation (for example, a score and ranking) which summarized several evaluation items. In this case, the user may be able to change the degree (weighting) that contributes to the overall evaluation for a plurality of evaluation items. In addition, among other users, users who tend to have similar evaluations for common evaluation targets are identified as users with good sensibility, and priority is given to the evaluation by users with good sensibility, or weighting is increased. May be.
　［４－４Ｂ］録画された放送番組の表示色は、放送番組に対する評価数や評価内容などに応じて複数色に色分けしてもよい（例えば金色、銀色など。）。また、色分け以外の態様（例えば文字の太さ、フォント、網掛け、点滅等のアニメーション）で放送番組を分類してもよい。また、上記実施形態では、評価の内容をポップアップ画面で表示するようにしているが、番組表にあらかじめ表示してもよい。また、録画された放送番組は、番組表形式以外で一覧表示してもよい。 [4-4B] The display color of the recorded broadcast program may be classified into a plurality of colors according to the number of evaluations and evaluation contents of the broadcast program (for example, gold, silver, etc.). Also, broadcast programs may be classified by a mode other than color coding (for example, animation such as character thickness, font, shading, and blinking). Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the content of evaluation is displayed on a pop-up screen, you may display beforehand on a program schedule. The recorded broadcast programs may be displayed in a list other than the program table format.
　［４－４Ｃ］上記実施形態では、ネタバレ情報が含まれるコメントを表示しないようにすることで、ネタバレ情報の閲覧を抑制しているが、これに限定されるものではなく、例えば、放送番組ごとに、ネタバレ情報の有無を視認可能な表示態様で表示してもよい。また、ネタバレ情報が生じやすいジャンルの番組（例えばドラマ、映画、試合等）については、コメント自体を表示させないようにしてもよい。また、ネタバレ情報が生じやすい番組Ａよりも後に放送される番組Ｂであって、番組Ａのネタバレ情報を放送し得る番組Ｂ（例えばスポーツ中継後のニュース番組）については、ネタバレ情報を含み得ることを視覚的に区別できる態様で表示してもよい。また、このような番組は一覧表示において表示させないように（つまり、再生対象として選択できないように）してもよい。 [4-4C] In the above embodiment, browsing of spoiler information is suppressed by not displaying comments containing spoiler information, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, for each broadcast program In addition, the presence / absence of spoiler information may be displayed in a visible manner. In addition, the comment itself may not be displayed for a program of a genre in which spoiler information is likely to occur (for example, a drama, a movie, a game, etc.). In addition, program B that is broadcast after program A where spoiler information is likely to occur, and program B that can broadcast spoiler information of program A (for example, a news program after a sports broadcast) can include spoiler information. May be displayed in a visually distinguishable manner. Further, such a program may not be displayed in the list display (that is, it cannot be selected as a reproduction target).
　［４－４Ｄ］ネタバレ情報以外にも、例えば年齢制限すべき情報などについては、ネタバレ情報と同様に閲覧制限を行ってもよい。また、この閲覧制限は、視聴者による評価を対象とすることに限らず、放送番組自体に対して行ってもよい。例えば、録画された放送番組の内容を解析し、子供に見せたり聞かせたりすることが適切でない内容が含まれている場合には、部分的に修正したり、放送番組を選択する画面において視覚的に区別できる態様で表示したり、視聴制限を加えたりしてもよい。 [4-4D] In addition to spoiler information, for example, information that should be age-restricted may be viewed in the same manner as spoiler information. Moreover, this viewing restriction is not limited to the evaluation by the viewer, but may be performed on the broadcast program itself. For example, if the contents of a recorded broadcast program are analyzed and content that is not appropriate to be shown or heard by children is included, it can be partially corrected or visually displayed on the screen for selecting a broadcast program. May be displayed in a distinguishable manner, or viewing restrictions may be added.
　［４－４Ｅ］録画された放送番組だけでなく、生放送中の放送番組にリアルタイムで評価が表示されるようにしてもよい。この場合、評価の入力に要するタイムラグを考慮して、評価対象の場面に対する評価のずれ（遅れ）を調整可能とするため、放送時間をずらしてもよい。例えば、放送番組の評価を行わないユーザは、放送番組の評価を行うユーザと比較して、一定時間（例えば数秒）遅れて番組が放送されるようにしてもよい。具体的には、設定項目「評価送信」に関する動作モードを評価送信禁止モードに設定しているユーザを、ここでいう放送番組の評価を行わないユーザとしてもよい。逆に、設定項目「評価送信」に関する動作モードを評価送信許可モードに設定しているユーザを、ここでいう放送番組の評価を行うユーザとしてもよい。 [4-4E] Evaluation may be displayed in real time not only on the recorded broadcast program but also on the live broadcast program. In this case, in consideration of the time lag required for inputting the evaluation, the broadcast time may be shifted in order to adjust the deviation (delay) of the evaluation with respect to the scene to be evaluated. For example, a user who does not evaluate a broadcast program may broadcast the program with a delay of a certain time (for example, several seconds) compared to a user who evaluates a broadcast program. Specifically, a user who sets the operation mode related to the setting item “evaluation transmission” to the evaluation transmission prohibition mode may be a user who does not evaluate the broadcast program here. Conversely, a user who sets the operation mode related to the setting item “evaluation transmission” to the evaluation transmission permission mode may be a user who evaluates the broadcast program here.
　［４－４Ｆ］評価の出力態様は、表示画面に表示されるという出力態様に限らず、例えば音声により出力されるという出力態様としてもよい。例えば、評価としてのコメントが表す文字を読み上げる形で音声再生されるようにしてもよく、また、視聴者が実際に発声した音声が、そのまま（又は音声変換処理を経て）再生されるようにしてもよい。 [4-4F] The output mode of the evaluation is not limited to the output mode of being displayed on the display screen, but may be an output mode of being output by voice, for example. For example, sound may be reproduced by reading out the character represented by the comment as an evaluation, and the sound actually spoken by the viewer may be reproduced as it is (or through sound conversion processing). Also good.
　［４－４Ｇ］
　コメント等の評価は、放送番組を基準とした時刻（本来の放送時刻）又は実際の時刻を基準に、時系列で表示されるようにしてもよい。その場合、ある放送番組の再生中に、別の放送番組に関する評価が表示され、表示された評価を選択することで、視聴中の放送番組の再生が一時停止され、選択した評価の対象となった放送番組が再生されるようにしてもよい。例えば、再生中の放送番組とともに、当該放送番組と放送日時が同一の複数の放送番組について、友人など限られたユーザによる評価が表示され、気になった評価を選択することで、再生される放送番組が切り替わるようにしてもよい。 [4-4G]
Evaluation of comments and the like may be displayed in time series based on the time based on the broadcast program (original broadcast time) or the actual time. In that case, while a broadcast program is being played, an evaluation regarding another broadcast program is displayed, and by selecting the displayed evaluation, the playback of the broadcast program being viewed is paused and becomes the target of the selected evaluation. A broadcast program may be played back.
