  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 shows a schematic configuration of a mobile phone with a TV broadcast receiving function.

  The portable telephone with a TV broadcast receiving function includes a control device 1. As the control device 1, for example, a baseband chip (trade name msm6200) is used.

  The control device 1 is connected with an operation unit 2 having various keys and an LED 3. In addition, a microphone 4 and a speaker 5 are connected to the control device 1. Further, a communication antenna 7 is connected to the control device 1 via a communication unit 6.

  Further, a digital tuner 12, a flash memory 13, a decoder 14, and an OSD 15 are connected to the control device 1 via a bus 10. A TV antenna 11 is connected to the digital tuner 12. A display 16 such as a liquid crystal display is connected to the OSD 15.

  This portable telephone has a TV function in addition to a telephone function and a mail function. The TV function includes a TV viewing function for receiving and displaying TV programs, a recording function for receiving and recording TV programs, and a chasing playback function for chasing and playing TV programs. TV operation modes related to the television function include a television viewing mode for executing a television viewing function, a recording mode for executing a recording function, and a chasing playback mode for executing a chasing playback function.

  In the television viewing mode, the broadcast wave received by the television antenna 11 is tuned by the digital tuner 12, and the data stream obtained thereby is sent to the decoder 14 via the bus 10. The video data decoded by the decoder 14 is sent to the display 16 via the OSD 15 and displayed. The audio data decoded by the decoder 14 is output from the speaker 5 via the bus 10 and the control device 1.

  In the recording mode, the broadcast wave received by the television antenna 11 is tuned by the digital tuner 12, and the data stream obtained thereby is stored in the flash memory 13 via the bus 10. Note that the LED 3 is turned on by the control device 1 in the recording mode.

  In the chasing playback mode, the broadcast wave received by the television antenna 11 is tuned by the digital tuner 12, and the data stream obtained thereby is stored in the flash memory 13 via the bus 10. Data stored in the flash memory 13 is sent to the decoder 14 via the bus 10. The video data decoded by the decoder 14 is sent to the display 16 via the OSD 15 and displayed. The audio data decoded by the decoder 14 is output from the speaker 5 via the bus 10 and the control device 1. In the chasing playback mode, data is cyclically recorded in the flash memory 13.

  In this embodiment, there is a feature in the processing of the control device 1 when a call is received in the TV viewing mode, so the processing of the control device 1 in that case will be described.

  FIG. 2 shows the operation of the control device 1 when a call is received in the TV viewing mode.

  When in the TV viewing mode (step S1), when there is an incoming call (step S2), a ring tone is output (step S3). And it is discriminate | determined whether the off-hook operation was performed by the user within the fixed time (step S4).

  If the off-hook operation is not performed by the user within a certain time, the process returns to step S1. When an off-hook operation is performed by the user within a predetermined time, the telephone processing by the telephone function is started (step S5), and the TV operation mode is changed from the TV viewing mode to the recording mode (step S6). As a result, a telephone call can be made, and the recording of the television program that has been viewed is started. In the recording mode, the LED 3 is turned on.

  Next, it is determined whether or not an on-hook operation has been performed by the user (step S7). If the on-hook operation is not performed, it is determined whether or not the recording data amount in the flash memory 13 is full (step S8). If the amount of recorded data in the flash memory 13 is not full, the process returns to step S7. Therefore, when the telephone call started in step S5 is being performed, the processes in steps S7 and S8 are repeated.

  If it is determined in step S8 that the amount of recording data in the flash memory 13 is full, no further recording can be performed, so after setting the flag F (F = 1) (step S9), the recording mode is set. Is released (step S10). As a result, the recording is stopped. Then, the process returns to step S7.

  If it is determined in step S7 that an on-hook operation has been performed, it is determined that the call has ended, the call processing is ended, and it is determined whether or not a chasing playback command has been input within a predetermined time (step). S11). The chasing playback command is input when, for example, the chasing playback key provided on the operation unit 2 is pressed by the user.

  If no chasing playback command is input within a certain time, the TV operation mode is set to the TV viewing mode (step S12). At this time, if the recording mode is set, the TV operation mode is changed from the recording mode to the TV viewing mode. After step S12, the process returns to step S2.

  If it is determined in step S11 that a follow-up regeneration command has been input within a predetermined time, it is determined whether or not the flag F is set (step S13). If the flag F is not set (F = 0), the TV operation mode is changed from the recording mode to the follow-up playback mode (step S14). In this case, the chasing playback is started from the scene where the recording is started in step S6. That is, the reproduction of the television program recorded from step S6 is started. Since the recording is continuously performed, the program is continuously reproduced with a time delay.

  If it is determined in step S13 that the flag F is set, a warning is displayed on the display 16 indicating that the recording has not been performed normally (step S15), and then the TV operation mode is followed. The playback mode is set (step S16). In this case, the chasing playback is started from the scene where the recording is started in step S6. However, since all of the broadcast data received during the call is not stored in the flash memory 13, it was received during the call. Part of the broadcast will be lost and played.

  In order to stop chasing playback, a key for stopping chasing playback (for example, a playback stop key) may be operated.

  In the above embodiment, when it is determined in step S7 that an on-hook operation has been performed, it is determined whether or not a follow-up reproduction command is input within a predetermined time (see step S11). When it is determined that an on-hook operation has been performed, the process may proceed to step S13 without performing the determination process of step S11.

It is a block diagram which shows schematic structure of the portable telephone with a television broadcast receiving function. It is a flowchart which shows operation | movement of the control apparatus 1 when a telephone call comes in the television viewing mode.
