Station) is set in a state where a three-party call is possible.

  However, in the TV program recording service system 1 of the present embodiment, after the recording management device 43 of the TV program recording service center 40 transmits the request acceptance completion notification described in step S15, for example, a mobile phone device with a TV broadcast receiving function. 30, waits for the transmission of the hooking signal described in step S 16 in FIG. 30, and automatically terminates (on-hooks) the call to the base station of the wireless public line 20 for which the three-party call state has been set. The line connection with the telephone device 30 and another telephone device 50 is cut off by itself.

  As a result, after receiving the request acceptance completion notification from the TV program recording service center 40 by the communication processing unit 34 of the mobile telephone device 30 with a TV broadcast receiving function shown in step S15, the above-described three-party call is substantially performed. Without being performed, only the line connection state between the mobile telephone device 30 with the TV broadcast receiving function and the other telephone device 50 remains, and only the call between the two is actually started (step S17).

  After that, when the call is finished and the user operates an end key (on-hook key) provided on the operation unit 37, the control unit 38 controls the operation of the communication processing unit 34 and sends a line disconnection signal to the wireless public line 20 To the other base station and disconnect the line connection with another telephone device 50.

  For example, when the recorded program playback device as the transfer destination is not specified in the above-described recording request, the control unit 38 disconnects the line connection with the other telephone device 50, Based on the setting of the TV viewing mode and the setting of the requested recording mode, the communication processing unit 34 is controlled to operate, and this time, the TV program recording service center in which a telephone number is set and stored in advance. A call signal for 40 distribution management devices 44 is automatically transmitted to the base station of the wireless public line 20.

  Thereafter, in the mobile telephone device 30 with a TV broadcast receiving function, the communication processing unit 34 receives an incoming call response signal transmitted from the distribution management device 44 of the TV program recording service center 40. Upon receipt of this incoming call response signal, the control unit 38 specially designates the reception identification data included in the previous request reception completion notification, whether or not the distribution destination has been changed, the changed distribution destination data, and the data distribution format. A distribution request including (for example, a file format rather than a streaming format) is generated, the communication processing unit 34 is operated, and the distribution request is transmitted.

  In the TV program recording service center 40, when the distribution management device 44 receives this distribution request, the distribution management device 44 inquires the recording management device 43 about the content of the recording request corresponding to the reception identification data of this distribution request. Then, the distribution management device 44 refers to the inquiry result from the recording management device 43, and based on the stored data of the broadcast data storage device 42, the TV requested to be recorded / received by the processing of the previous steps S14 and S15. Interrupt TV program distribution data composed of video data and audio data of the program is generated.

  In this case, even if the broadcast of the program whose viewing has been interrupted has not yet been completed, the distribution management device 44 generates the interrupted TV program distribution data for the part for which recording has been completed. Then, the distribution management device 44 updates the created interrupted TV program distribution data as needed as the program broadcast progresses.

  Then, the distribution management device 44 receives the TV broadcast distribution data thus generated via the wireless public line 20 in the streaming format that is the distribution format of the specified data when the distribution destination is not changed. It transmits to the mobile telephone device 30 with a function.

  In the mobile phone device 30 with a TV broadcast receiving function, the communication processing unit 34 stores the interrupted TV program distribution data distributed from the distribution management device 44 of the TV program recording service center 40 in this streaming format in the memory 39a. Based on the interrupted TV program distribution data stored in the memory 39a, the video is displayed on the display unit 33 through the display output unit 32, and the sound is output from the speaker 36a through the acoustic input / output unit 35.

  As described above, even when a user receives an incoming call from another telephone device 50 while watching a TV program, the user starts a call with another telephone device 50 by operating the recording request key provided in the operation unit 37. Then, after the end of the call, the TV program whose viewing is interrupted by the call with the other telephone device 50 can be viewed continuously from the portion where the incoming call is received.

  In addition, the distribution management device 44 may specify a data distribution format specially in the case where the distribution request is changed in the request for the generated recording request or the distribution request for the TV program distribution data that has been interrupted. If there is, distribute it according to the changes.

  For example, the user can connect to a distribution destination via a communication line (for example, the Internet) 60 different from the wireless public line 20 instead of the mobile phone device 30 with a TV broadcast reception function. If the address is specified, and the file format is specially designated as the data distribution format, the distribution management device 44 creates the interrupted TV program distribution data after waiting for the recording of the TV program requested to be recorded. Distributing the interrupted TV program distribution data in the file format to the home server 70 via the Internet 60, while receiving a distribution request reception or execution completion notification to the mobile phone device 30 with a TV broadcast reception function. It is transmitted separately via the line 20. In this case, the notification of completion of acceptance or execution of the distribution request may be notified to the mobile phone device 30 with the TV reception function that has made the recording request by data communication such as mail.

  Thereby, in the mobile phone device 30 with a TV broadcast receiving function, the reception or execution completion of the distribution request is explicitly displayed by the character, icon or screen color on the display unit 33, the sound from the speaker 36a, the illustration. The user can be notified even if the user is away from the home server 70 of the distribution destination.

  In this case, the recording program playback device as the distribution destination (transfer destination) and the designation of the desired file format of the recorded program distributed to the recorded program playback device are directly specified from the operation unit 37 at the time of recording request or distribution request. Instead of inputting, it is also possible to register in advance in the memory 39a, for example.

  For example, a list of recorded program file formats corresponding to each address of a plurality of recorded program playback devices as a distribution destination and a recorded program file format corresponding to each recorded program playback device is registered in the memory 39a in advance, and this list is displayed by the operation unit 37. By designating one recorded program playback device from the above, its address and file format can be set.

  The setting is not performed every time a recording request or distribution request is made. If it is set in advance when necessary, it is set in advance when a recording request or distribution request is transmitted. A request may be generated in which the address and file format of a recorded program playback device as a distribution destination are included as data, and this request may be transmitted to the TV program recording service center 40.

  Furthermore, once the address and file format of the recorded program playback device as the delivery destination are set in advance when necessary, the mobile phone device 30 with a TV broadcast receiving function is transmitted to the TV program recording service center 40, The configuration may be registered in the TV program recording service center 40. In this case, the TV program recording service center 40 registers a list of transfer destination addresses and file formats in, for example, a memory provided in the distribution management device 44 in correspondence with each mobile phone device 30 with a TV broadcast reception function. It is configured to keep. Therefore, in the mobile phone device 30 with a TV broadcast receiving function, once the address and file format of the recorded program playback device as the distribution destination are set in advance when necessary, every time a recording request or distribution request is transmitted, There is no need to set these. In the TV program recording service center 40, every time a recording request or a distribution request is received and processed, the distribution management device 44 does not include the address or file format of the recorded program reproducing device as the distribution destination in the request. It is possible to automatically acquire the address and file format of the recorded program playback device as the delivery destination from the list registered in the memory provided in the inside.

  Next, when the user is watching a TV program with the mobile phone device 30 with a TV broadcast receiving function, the reception of the TV broadcast wave is deteriorated with respect to a predetermined level, or the output level of the battery is the video of the TV program on the display unit 33. A case where the level is lowered to a level that hinders the display will be described.
