  The above object, other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description of embodiments with reference to the drawings.

  Referring to FIG. 1, a mobile phone 10 of this embodiment uses a mobile communication circuit 12 that performs mobile communication using a mobile communication system, and a terrestrial digital television broadcast (hereinafter referred to as “television broadcast”) system. It includes a broadcast program receiving circuit 14 that receives a broadcast program, and a CPU 32 that controls both the mobile communication circuit 12 and the broadcast program receiving circuit 14.

  When a dial operation is performed through the operation panel 38, the CPU 32 instructs the radio circuit 18 provided in the mobile communication circuit 12 to perform call processing. When a connection with the other party is established by this call processing, a call can be made. When the call signal is received through the antenna 16, the radio circuit 18 notifies the CPU 32 that the call signal has been received. The CPU 32 instructs the sound generator 60 provided in the broadcast program receiving circuit 14 to output an audio message, and instructs the character generator 68 provided in the broadcast program receiving circuit 14 to generate a character signal representing the calling message. As a result, a ringing tone is output from the speaker 62 and a calling message is output from the monitor 70. When an incoming call operation is performed through the operation panel 38 in response to the output of the voice message and the call message, a connection with the other party is established, and a call can be made.

  When a call-ready state is entered, the audio signal captured by the microphone 30 is amplified by the amplifier 28 and converted into audio data that is a digital signal by the AD / DA conversion circuit 22. The converted voice data is encoded into packet data, that is, a voice packet by the signal processing circuit 20, and the encoded voice packet is modulated by the radio circuit 18. The modulated voice packet is transmitted to the other party via the antenna 16. Voice packets sent from the other party are received by the antenna 16 and demodulated by the radio circuit 18. The demodulated audio packet is decoded into audio data by the signal processing circuit 20, and the decoded audio data is converted into an audio signal which is an analog signal by the AD / DA conversion circuit 22. The converted audio signal is output from the speaker 26 via the amplifier 24.

  Next, a case where a program is recorded will be described. The CPU 32 activates the broadcast program receiving circuit 14 and instructs the tuner 44 to select a channel reserved for recording. In this case, the tuner 44 extracts broadcast data of a desired channel from the broadcast data captured by the antenna 42, and performs demodulation processing according to the MPEG format on the broadcast data of the extracted channel. The demodulated broadcast data is given to the demultiplexer 48 via the buffer memory 46.

  The demultiplexer 48 extracts the audio packet and the video packet from the given broadcast data, and gives them to the memory card controller 50. The memory card controller 50 records the given audio packet and video packet in the memory card 52. In this way, the program is recorded on the memory card 52.

  Next, a case where a program recorded on the memory card 52 is reproduced will be described. The CPU 32 activates the broadcast program receiving circuit 14 and instructs the memory card controller 50 to read out video packets and audio packets of the program. The memory card controller 50 reads the audio packet and video packet of the program, and gives the read audio packet and video packet to the AV selector 54. The AV selector 54 supplies the supplied audio packet and video packet to the H264 audio decoder 56 and the H264 video decoder 64, respectively.

  The H264 audio decoder 56 decodes the given voice packet to generate voice data, and gives the generated voice data to the D / A converter 58. The D / A converter 58 converts the given audio data into an audio signal that is an analog signal, and gives the converted audio signal to the speaker 62. As a result, the sound of the program broadcast on the desired channel is output from the speaker 62.

  The H264 video decoder 64 decodes the supplied video packet to generate video data, and supplies the generated video data to the NTSC encoder 66. The NTSC encoder 66 converts the supplied video data into a composite video signal and supplies the converted composite video signal to the monitor 70. As a result, the video of the program broadcast on the desired channel is displayed on the monitor 70. In this way, the user can play back the recorded program.

  A case where the program is directly viewed will be described. In the same manner as in the case of the above-described recording, the tuner 44 gives broadcast data of a desired channel to the demultiplexer 48. The demultiplexer 48 extracts audio packets and video packets from the given broadcast data, and supplies the extracted audio packets and video packets to the AV selector 54. Then, when the AV selector 54 gives the received audio packet and video packet to the H264 audio decoder 56 and the H264 video decoder 64, respectively, the audio and video are output from the speaker 62 and the monitor 70 in the same manner as in the above-described reproduction. Each is output. In this way, the user can view the program directly.

  With reference to FIG. 2, the external appearance of the mobile phone 10 will be described. The mobile phone 10 is composed of two parts so that it can be folded at the center. One of them is provided with a monitor 70. The monitor 70 displays various tables to be described later, programs broadcast on a desired channel, and the like.

  On the other side, a numeric keypad 38a is arranged at the lower part. The user can input a channel number of a desired channel or input characters or a telephone number by operating the numeric keypad 38a.

  A set key 38f is provided at the center surrounded by the cursor keys 38b to 38e. The set key 38f is operated to confirm the content selected by the cursor keys 38b and 38c. The off-hook key 38g is a key operated when a call is started in response to an incoming call. The on-hook key 38h is a key for cutting off the connection with the communication line when the call is finished, and also serves as a power key for the mobile phone 10.

  Further, a TV button 38i, a recording button 38j, and a playback button 38k are provided above the cursor keys 38b to 38e. The TV button 38i is a button operated when turning on / off the power of the tuner 44. By operating the TV button 38i, reception of broadcast data of a television broadcast can be started or ended. . The recording button 38j is a button that is operated when a reservation setting screen for inputting recording reservation information necessary for recording reservation of a program is displayed on the monitor 70. The playback button 38k reproduces the recorded program and displays it on the monitor 70. This button is operated when displaying.

  Referring to FIG. 3, when recording button 38j is operated, a reservation setting screen is displayed on monitor 70. The user inputs recording reservation information necessary for recording reservation on the reservation setting screen. Specifically, the channel number of the channel on which the desired program is broadcast, the broadcast date and time of the program, the broadcast start time, the broadcast end time, and the recording format. Here, the recording format represents the image quality of the video to be recorded, and “HD” is input when the image quality is high, and “SD” is input when the image quality is standard.

  When the user operates the numeric keypad 38a to input the recording reservation information on the reservation setting screen and then operates the registration key displayed on the lower right of the reservation setting screen, the recording reservation information described on the reservation recording screen is stored in the flash memory. 36. Then, based on the time information given from the clock 34, the CPU 32 turns on the tuner 44 to start recording on the memory card 52 when the program broadcast start time is reached, and starts the program broadcast end time when the program broadcast end time is reached. The power of 44 is turned off to finish recording.

  Here, there is no problem if the area where the recording reservation is performed and the area where the recording is performed are the same area. However, if the area is different, the channel number of the program broadcast in the recording area when the user makes a recording reservation is set. It may not be remembered correctly. In this case, the user can input the program broadcast date and time, the broadcast start time, the broadcast end time, and the recording format, but cannot make a recording reservation because the channel number cannot be input. However, even if the user does not accurately store the channel number, the user may remember the broadcast station name, etc., and use this as a clue to know the correct channel number. In such a case, when the user operates the menu key displayed at the lower left of the reservation setting screen, a channel number setting menu described below is displayed on the monitor 70.
