The storage control unit 202 performs storage control of the viewing information collected from each television receiver 1 in the HDD 24 . The input processing unit 203 recognizes various designation operations performed via the operation unit 27 .
统计值计算部204基于从各电视接收机1收集到的用户的收看信息(收看历史等)，计算按照属性的收看信息的统计值。按照属性的收看信息的统计值例如是节目单位中的每个人口统计(demographic)的收看量。所谓人口统计是性别、年龄、居住地区、收入、职业、家庭结构等人口统计学上的属性的总称。统计值计算部204计算这些安装每个属性的收看量，作为按照属性的收看信息的统计值。按照属性具体而言如以下这样区分。在T层(男女：13～19岁)的基础上，男性区分为M1层(20～34岁)、M2层(35～49岁)、M3层(50岁～64岁)、M4层(65岁以上)。另外，女性区分为F1层(20～34岁)、F2层(35～49岁)、F3层(50岁～64岁)、F4层(65岁以上)。The statistical value calculation unit 204 calculates the statistical value of the viewing information by attribute based on the viewing information (viewing history, etc.) of the user collected from each television receiver 1 . The statistical value of the viewing information by attribute is, for example, the viewing amount per demographic in the program unit. The so-called demographic statistics is a general term for demographic attributes such as gender, age, residential area, income, occupation, and family structure. The statistical value calculation unit 204 calculates the viewing amount for each attribute of these installations as a statistical value of viewing information by attribute. Specifically, the attributes are classified as follows. On the basis of T layer (men and women: 13-19 years old), males are divided into M1 layer (20-34 years old), M2 layer (35-49 years old), M3 layer (50-64 years old), M4 layer (65 years old) over the age of 2). In addition, women are divided into F1 floor (20 to 34 years old), F2 floor (35 to 49 years old), F3 floor (50 to 64 years old), and F4 floor (65 years old and over).
另外，在按照属性的收看信息的统计值中，作为一个例子，登记有12个 频道的数据Ch＿S(1)～Ch＿S(12)。在这些数据中例如包含频道ID、节目ID、框ID等。In addition, in the statistical value of viewing information by attribute, data Ch_S(1) to Ch_S(12) of 12 channels are registered as an example. These data include, for example, a channel ID, a program ID, a frame ID, and the like.
统计值计算部204将按照属性的收看信息的统计值作为推荐节目信息发送到各电视接收机1。The statistical value calculation unit 204 transmits the statistical value of the viewing information by attribute to each television receiver 1 as recommended program information.
因此，各电视接收机1的用户能够在电视接收机1的初次启动时的属性信息的设定后，立即从服务器装置2获取推荐节目信息。Therefore, the user of each television receiver 1 can acquire the recommended program information from the server device 2 immediately after setting the attribute information at the time of initial startup of the television receiver 1 .
另外，服务器装置2仅计算按照属性的收看信息的统计值即可，不必计算各电视接收机1的每个用户的推荐节目。In addition, the server device 2 only needs to calculate the statistical value of the viewing information according to the attribute, and it is not necessary to calculate the recommended program for each user of each television receiver 1 .
此外，在本实施方式中，以节目单位来计算按照属性的收看信息的统计值，但是，不限于此，也可以按照星期几的几点钟等框单位、按照种类来计算按照属性的收看信息的统计值。通过这样的方式，在未来节目的推荐中，也能够不仅按节目单位进行推荐，还能够按框单位进行推荐。具体而言，AAA电视的星期一的21点框由30多岁的女性经常收看等。In addition, in the present embodiment, the statistical value of the viewing information by attributes is calculated in units of programs, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the viewing information by attributes may be calculated in units of frames such as the day of the week and by type. statistic value. In this way, in the recommendation of future programs, it is possible to recommend not only in units of programs, but also in units of frames. Specifically, AAA TV's Monday blackjack box is frequently watched by women in their 30s, etc.
回到电视接收机1的功能说明。Return to the functional description of the television receiver 1 .
电视接收机1的节目表制作部183基于节目清单191和按照属性的收看信息的统计值清单192，制作节目表数据193。节目表制作部183将制作的节目表数据193输出到显示处理部184。然后，显示处理部184基于从节目表制作部183输入的节目表数据193，向图像输出部15输出控制信号，以便使节目表500(参照图5)显示于显示器11。即，节目表制作部183及显示处理部184作为节目表显示部而发挥功能。The program guide creation unit 183 of the television receiver 1 creates program guide data 193 based on the program list 191 and the statistical value list 192 of viewing information by attribute. The program guide creation unit 183 outputs the created program guide data 193 to the display processing unit 184 . Then, the display processing unit 184 outputs a control signal to the image output unit 15 based on the program table data 193 input from the program table creation unit 183 so that the program table 500 (see FIG. 5 ) is displayed on the display 11 . That is, the program guide creation unit 183 and the display processing unit 184 function as a program guide display unit.
图5是示出节目表500的例子的图。如图5所示，实施方式的节目表500作为2维节目表而显示于显示器11，该2维节目表将频道信息(频道编号)沿着行方向或列方向的一方排列，并将时间信息沿着行方向或列方向的另一方排列。例如，在图5的例子中，频道编号沿着横方向(行方向)、时间信息沿着纵方向(列方向)排列，但是，在实施方式中，这些纵横也可以相反。另外，在图5的例子中，频道编号的显示范围为Ch1～Ch8，时间信息的显示 范围为05：00～5：00，但是，这些显示范围能够通过使用遥控器(未图示)等的用户的操作来适当变更。FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the program table 500 . As shown in FIG. 5 , the program table 500 according to the embodiment is displayed on the display 11 as a two-dimensional program table in which channel information (channel numbers) are arranged in either the row direction or the column direction, and time information is arranged in the two-dimensional program table. Aligned along the other side of the row direction or the column direction. For example, in the example of FIG. 5 , the channel numbers are arranged in the horizontal direction (row direction) and the time information is arranged in the vertical direction (column direction). However, in an embodiment, these vertical and horizontal directions may be reversed. In addition, in the example of FIG. 5, the display range of the channel number is from Ch1 to Ch8, and the display range of the time information is from 05:00 to 5:00. However, these display ranges can be displayed by using a remote controller (not shown) or the like. The user's operation can be appropriately changed.
此外，在实施方式的节目表500中，在视觉上重叠显示与电视接收机1的用户的属性一致的推荐节目信息(按照属性的收看信息的统计值)。此外，基于频道数据中包含的频道ID、节目ID、框ID等来执行推荐节目信息(按照属性的收看信息的统计值)的叠加。In addition, in the program table 500 of the embodiment, the recommended program information (statistical value of viewing information according to the attribute) that matches the attribute of the user of the television receiver 1 is visually superimposed and displayed. Further, superposition of recommended program information (statistical value of viewing information by attribute) is performed based on channel IDs, program IDs, frame IDs, and the like contained in the channel data.
另外，在节目表500中，利用色标层级区分图(Heat map)，将推荐节目信息(按照属性的收看信息的统计值)重叠显示，该色标层级区分图将与电视接收机1的用户的属性一致的属性的人经常观看的节目以红色显示、将不怎么观看的节目以蓝色显示等。通过这样进行叠加显示，从而用户能够在通常使用的节目表上在视觉上掌握与自己的属性相应的推荐节目信息(按照属性的收看信息的统计值)。In addition, in the program table 500, the recommended program information (statistical value of viewing information according to the attribute) is superimposed and displayed using a color-coded hierarchy map (Heat map). Programs that are frequently watched by people with the same attributes are displayed in red, programs that are not watched much are displayed in blue, and so on. By performing the superimposed display in this way, the user can visually grasp the recommended program information (statistical value of viewing information according to the attribute) according to the attribute of the user on the commonly used program table.
此外，在实施方式的节目表500中，如图5所示，将基于收看历史计算的时间框单位的收看量也一并显示。In addition, in the program table 500 of the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5 , the viewing amount of the time frame unit calculated based on the viewing history is also displayed together.
