The TV video signal output from the TV reception tuner 43 is displayed and output from the main display unit 40, and the TV audio signal is output from a built-in speaker (high sound pressure speaker) 44. Note that an OFDM (orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) demodulator may be connected in order to reduce the size of the television broadcast receiving tuner 43 or the like. The RTC (real time clock module) 45 constitutes a clock unit, and the CPU 1 acquires the current date and time from the RTC 15.

  The charging connection unit 46 charges a secondary battery (not shown) by a charging current from the cradle 2 when mounted (connected) to the cradle 2, and the CPU 31 is output from the charging connection unit 46. Whether or not the apparatus main body is mounted (connected) to the cradle 2 is detected based on the charge detection signal. The style detection sensor 47 can detect each style that changes in accordance with the arrangement state of two casings (display unit side casing, operation unit side casing) that constitute a two-axis rotation type apparatus main body. For example, it is configured by a magnetic sensor or a micro switch, and the CPU 1 discriminates each style of the apparatus main body based on each detection signal from the style detection sensor 47.

  The mobile phone device 3 can be changed into four styles according to the arrangement state of two casings (key operation unit side casing, display unit side casing). The display unit side housing is rotated 180 ° from this style, with the display unit side housing overlapped (normally closed style), the display unit side housing opened from this tile (forward open style or normal style). It is possible to change the state (inverted open style) to the closed state (view style) from this style.

  Next, the operation concept of the cellular phone device 3 in this embodiment will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 6 to 9 and the operation of the cradle 2 with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. Here, each function described in these flowcharts is stored in the form of a readable program code, and operations according to the program code are sequentially executed. In addition, the operation according to the above-described program code transmitted via the transmission medium can be sequentially executed. In other words, in addition to the recording medium, an operation peculiar to this embodiment can be executed by using a program / data supplied externally via a transmission medium.

6 to 9 are flowcharts showing the overall operation of the mobile phone device 3 that is started to be executed when the power is turned on. Hereinafter, the operation on the cradle 2 side will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 10 and 11 while describing the operation of the mobile phone device 3.
First, in the cellular phone device 3, the CPU 31 activates the telephone communication unit 35 to perform a registration response of the current position, and enters a standby state of telephone / mail while reading out and displaying a predetermined standby image (see FIG. 6 step A1). In this state, when the presence of a call / mail is detected (YES in step A2), an incoming call notification for generating and outputting an incoming melody is performed, and a call or incoming mail incoming process is executed (step A3).

 Further, in this standby state, when any operation is performed on the key operation unit 42 (YES in Step A4), the CPU 31 checks whether the TV ON key for instructing the output of the television broadcast has been operated (Step A5). If the operation is other than that (NO in step A5), for example, a call transmission, mail creation processing, etc. are performed as the processing corresponding to the operation (step A13), but if the operation is a TV ON key (step A5). The process proceeds to step A6, where the television broadcast receiving tuner 13 is operated to receive and acquire the electronic program guide. If an electronic program guide including the current date has already been acquired, this step A6 is skipped. Here, when a channel selection operation is performed (step A7), the end time of the program currently being broadcast on the selected channel is acquired with reference to the electronic program guide (step A8).

 Then, an output instruction for outputting the contents of the program currently being broadcast on the selected channel is performed to output video data of the program from the main display unit 40 and audio data from the built-in speaker 44 (step A9). In this way, if any operation is performed on the key operation unit 42 while watching an arbitrary TV broadcast program (YES in step A10), it is checked whether the operation is a channel change instruction operation (step A11). If it is this change instruction operation, after performing the channel change process (step A12), the broadcast program of the channel after the change is received and output (step A9).

 If an operation other than the channel change instruction is performed during TV viewing (NO in step A11), the flow proceeds to the flow of FIG. 7 to check whether the recording instruction operation is an instruction to start recording (step A15). If it is a recording instruction operation, the recording instruction information (instruction mail) including the current “channel”, “program name” and its “end time” is generated together with its “terminal ID” and “recording start time”. Then, the recording instruction mail is transmitted to the cradle 2 at home via the mobile communication network and the Internet (step A16). Then, after writing the “instruction information” and the “terminal ID” on the recording medium 3A (step A17), the process returns to step A10 in FIG. The “end time” is the information acquired from the electronic program guide in step A8, the “start time” is the current time acquired from the RTC 45, and the “program name” is acquired from the electronic program guide. Information.

 Here, as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 10, the cradle 2 side monitors the presence / absence of instruction information (instruction mail) transmitted from the mobile phone device 3 via the mobile communication network and the Internet (step B1). If there is an instruction mail, it is discriminated whether it is a recording start instruction or a recording end instruction (step B2). If it is recording start instruction information, the “channel”, “end time”, and “terminal ID” included therein are entered. Received and acquired (step B3), transmits "channel" and "end time" to the television receiver 21 to instruct the start of recording (step B4). In this case, the television reception recorder 1 side newly generates a recording file in response to the recording instruction, and then starts an operation of recording the program broadcast on the corresponding channel in the file until the end time. As a result, the cradle 2 side obtains the “program ID” indicating the recorded file from the television receiver recorder 1 and additionally registers it in the recorded program management table RET in association with the corresponding “terminal ID” (step B5).

 On the mobile phone device 3 side, after instructing the recording start of the program while watching the TV, if the stop of the recording is instructed by a user operation (YES in step A18 in FIG. 7), the “ Recording end instruction information (instruction mail) including “channel” and own “terminal ID” is generated, and this recording end instruction mail is transmitted to the cradle 2 at home via the mobile communication network and the Internet (step A19). ). Then, after deleting the corresponding instruction information subject to the recording stop from the recording medium 3A (step A20), the process returns to step A10 in FIG. If the TV OFF key for instructing the end of viewing is operated during viewing of the television (YES in step A21), the process returns to the standby state described above (step A1 in FIG. 6).

 On the cradle 20 side, if the instruction information (instruction mail) from the mobile phone device 3 is the recording end instruction information (NO in step B2 in FIG. 10), the “channel” and “terminal ID” included therein are received. Obtain (step B6), transmit "channel" to the television receiver 1 and instruct the end of recording (step B7). In this case, the television receiver recorder 1 ends the recording operation for the channel in response to the end instruction.

 On the other hand, if no operation is performed while watching TV on the mobile phone device 3 side (NO in step A10 in FIG. 6), the flow moves to the flow in FIG. 8, and the same is performed by referring to the current time and the program start time. It is checked whether or not the program content has been viewed continuously for a predetermined time, that is, whether or not one minute has passed since the program content of the same channel started to be viewed (step A22). Here, when one minute has passed, since it is highly likely that continuous viewing will continue thereafter, the process proceeds to step A23 to check whether recording of the currently viewed program has been instructed. Display and output a confirmation message for inquiring whether or not the program needs to be recorded (step A24).

 This confirmation message screen has menu items of “record” and “do not record”, and when any of these items is selected and designated (step A25), the CPU 31 determines the selection contents of the necessity of recording. (Step A26) When “not record” is selected, the process returns to step A10 in FIG. 6. However, when “record” is selected, the process proceeds to step A16 in FIG. It is transmitted to the home cradle 2 or registered in the recording medium 3A (step A17).

 Further, when it is detected that there is an incoming call interruption during TV viewing (YES in step A27 in FIG. 8), after receiving an incoming call notification (step A28), it is checked whether there is an incoming call response operation (off-hook operation) (step A28). A29) If there is no response operation, the process returns to step A10 in FIG. 6, but if there is a response operation, it is set in a state where communication with the communication partner is possible (step A30). Then, after the television reception output is interrupted (step A31), it is checked whether or not the recording of the currently viewed program has been instructed (step A32). In this case, if the recording instruction has been completed, after waiting for line disconnection (call termination) (step A33), the process returns to step A9 in FIG. 6 to resume the interrupted television reception output, but the recording instruction must be performed. If this is the case (NO in step A32), the recording instruction information is generated and transmitted to the home cradle 2 (step A34), and this instruction information is registered in the recording medium 3A together with the terminal ID (step A35). Then, after waiting for line disconnection (step A36), the process returns to step A9 in FIG. 6 to resume the interrupted television reception output.

 Furthermore, if the current time coincides with the end time of the program during TV viewing (YES in step A37 in FIG. 8), in other words, if the program has been viewed to the end, the recording instruction information of this program (Step A38), and if recording has been instructed, the instruction information is deleted from the recording medium 3A to indicate that the program has been viewed continuously until the end of the program. (Step A39), the process returns to Step A10 in FIG.

 On the other hand, in the standby state, it is determined whether or not the apparatus main body is connected to the cradle 2 based on the charge detection signal from the charging connection unit 36 (step A14 in FIG. 6). When this is detected, the flow proceeds to the flow of FIG. 9 to check whether the instruction information is registered in the recording medium 3A. Here, if there is no instruction information in the recording medium 3A (if the recording start is not instructed), the standby state is returned (step A1 in FIG. 6), but the recording start has been instructed, and the recording medium 3A is instructed. When the instruction information is registered, the style of the apparatus main body is determined based on the detection signal from the style detection sensor 47, and it is checked whether it is mounted on the cradle 2 in the “view style” state (step A41). If it is a style other than “view style”, it returns to the standby state (step A1 in FIG. 6), and if it is “view style” (YES in step A41), it transfers its recorded contents to the cradle 2. In order to make a request, the terminal transmits its own “terminal ID” to the cradle 2 (step A42).

 On the cradle 2 side, it is checked whether the cellular phone device 3 is installed, that is, whether the connection start is detected (step B8 in FIG. 11), and at the first time when the cellular phone device 3 is connected, the process goes to step B9. If the transfer request is received from the mobile phone device 3 and the transfer request is received, the “terminal ID” is received and acquired from the request (step B10), and recording is performed based on the “terminal ID”. The program management table RET is searched to check whether the corresponding “program ID” is one (step B11). As a result, if there is one “program ID” corresponding to “terminal ID”, the television receiver recorder 1 is requested to transfer the recording file corresponding to “program ID” (step B14).

 In response to this, when the recording file transmitted from the television receiver 1 is received, the recording file is downloaded and transferred to the requesting mobile phone device 3 (step B15), and the transferred “recording ID” is then received. Delete from the recorded program management table RET (step B16). If a plurality of corresponding “program IDs” are stored as a result of searching the recorded program management table RET based on the received “terminal ID” (NO in step B11), the plurality of “program IDs” can be supported. A “program menu” including “program name” is generated and transmitted to the requesting mobile phone device 3 (step B12).

 On the mobile phone device 3 side, after making a transfer request to the cradle 2, it is checked whether the “program menu” has been returned from the cradle 2 (step A43 in FIG. 9). After deleting the “instruction information” and “terminal ID” from the medium 3A (step B48), the recording file transferred from the cradle 2 is downloaded and received and written to the recording medium 3A (step A47). When the “program menu” is returned from the cradle 2 (YES in step A43), this is displayed and output (step A44). When an arbitrary program is selected and specified from the menu screen (step A45), the cradle 2 is requested to transfer a recorded file corresponding to the selected program (step A46).

 In this case, when the cradle 2 receives the transfer request for the selected program in response to the transmission of the “program menu” (step B13 in FIG. 11), the recorded file corresponding to the “program ID” is transmitted to the television reception recorder 1. Is requested (step B14). In response to this, when the recording file transmitted from the TV receiving recorder 1 is received, the recording file is downloaded and transferred to the requesting mobile phone device 3 (step B15), and the transferred “recording ID” is set. Delete from the recorded program management table RET (step B16).

 On the other hand, the cradle 2 side checks whether or not the recording medium 3A is loaded, that is, whether or not the connection start is detected (step B17 in FIG. 11). It is checked whether or not the instruction information is stored in the recording medium 3A. If the instruction information is present, the corresponding “terminal ID” is acquired (step B19), and then the “program corresponding to the“ terminal ID ”is acquired. One “ID” is designated, and the television receiver recorder 1 is requested to transfer the recording file of this “program ID” (step B20). Thus, when the recording file transmitted from the television receiving recorder 1 is downloaded and received, this recording file is written in the recording medium 3A (step B21). Hereinafter, if a plurality of “program IDs” corresponding to “terminal IDs” are stored, it is checked whether all recorded files corresponding to each “program ID” have been transferred (step B22), and steps are performed until transfer of all files is completed. Returning to B20, the above-described operation is repeated. When the transfer of all files is completed, all “recording IDs” that have been transferred are deleted from the recording medium 3A (step B23).

 Further, the cradle 2 side checks whether or not the transfer button 2C is operated (step B24 in FIG. 11), and when the transfer of the recording file is requested by the operation of the transfer button 2C, the cellular phone device 3 is connected. (Step B25), it is checked whether or not the instruction information is stored in the recording medium 3A (step B26), and if there is the instruction information, the process proceeds to step B19 to obtain a recording file from the television receiver recorder 1. Then, a process of writing to the recording medium 3A is performed (steps B19 to B23). In addition, although the cellular phone device 3 is not connected (NO in step B25), if the recording medium 3A is connected (YES in step B27), the process proceeds to step B19, and the recorded file is read from the television receiver recorder 1. A process of acquiring and writing to the recording medium 3A is performed (steps B19 to B23). If the cellular phone device 3 and the recording medium 3A are not connected (NO in step B27), an error notification (for example, lamp lighting) that invalidates the operation of the transfer button 2C is performed (step B29).

  As described above, in this embodiment, when the television receiving recorder 1 with the cradle 2 receives a broadcast content recording request transmitted from the mobile phone device 3, the program specified in accordance with the recording request is displayed. When receiving and recording, the “program ID” is stored and managed in the recorded program management table RET in association with the “terminal ID”, and the “terminal ID” on the mobile phone device 3 side is externally supplied. Since the recorded file is output as a playback target based on the “program ID” corresponding to this “terminal ID”, the recorded content is output after confirming that the request source has made the recording request. It is possible to allow the original user to view the recorded content and to improve the certainty.

  When the mobile phone device 3 is connected to the cradle 2 and a “terminal ID” is externally supplied from the mobile phone device 3 and a transfer of recording content is requested, the recorded file corresponding to the “terminal ID” Is transferred to the mobile phone device 3 side for playback and output. Therefore, simply by connecting the mobile phone device 3 to the cradle 2, recording and playback can be performed, and operability can be improved. In addition, the cradle 2 checks whether or not the mobile phone device 3 is connected when the transfer button 2C is operated, and records the recorded file corresponding to the “terminal ID” on condition that the mobile phone device 3 is connected. Since it is written in the recording medium 3A on the mobile phone device 3 side as a reproduction target, it is possible to instruct whether or not to record and reproduce during charging.

  When the “terminal ID” is externally supplied via the portable recording medium 3A detachably attached to the mobile phone device 3, the cradle 2 writes a recording file corresponding to the “terminal ID” in the recording medium 3A. Therefore, it is possible to obtain a recorded file via the recording medium 3A without connecting the cellular phone device 3 to the cradle 2.

  Also, the cradle 2 checks whether or not the recording medium 3A is connected when the transfer button 2C is operated, and plays the recorded file corresponding to the “terminal ID” on the condition that the recording medium 3A is connected. Since it is written in the recording medium 3A, it is possible to instruct whether or not to perform recording / playback during charging. Further, when the recording medium 3A is connected, a recording file corresponding to the “terminal ID” in the recording medium 3A can be written into the recording medium 3A, and the recording can be performed simply by attaching the recording medium 3A to the cradle 2. The file can be obtained.

  In the embodiment described above, the cellular phone device 3 generates recording instruction information (instruction mail) including “terminal ID”, “channel”, “program name”, and “program end time” and transmits it to the cradle 2. However, the content of the recording instruction information is not limited to this, and is arbitrary. For example, only the “channel” currently being viewed may be used. Further, only the “program name” currently being viewed or the “program name” reserved for recording may be used. In this case, on the cradle 2 side, the recording target may be specified from the “program name” in the recording instruction information with reference to the received and acquired electronic program guide.

  In the above-described embodiment, the cradle 2 uses the recorded file corresponding to the “terminal ID” as a reproduction target when the mobile phone device 3 or the recording medium 3A is connected (when the terminal ID is externally supplied). Although read and transferred to the mobile phone device 3 or written to the recording medium 3A, the recorded file corresponding to the “terminal ID” may be transferred to the TV viewing device 4 to be reproduced and output.

  On the cradle 2 side, when a recording instruction for the same program is received from a plurality of mobile phone devices 3, even if a recording end instruction is received from any of the mobile phone devices 3 during the recording, the recording end May not be instructed to the television receiver recorder 1. In this case, when receiving a recording end instruction from all the mobile phone devices 3 that have instructed recording, the television reception recorder 1 may be instructed to end the recording in response to the final instruction.

  Although not particularly mentioned in the above-described embodiment, the high-definition high-definition broadcast is received on the television receiving recorder 1 side, but this high-quality video data is data for mobile phones corresponding to the screen of the mobile phone device. The data conversion may be performed on the cradle 2 side. That is, the cradle 2 may convert the recorded content (high quality data) transmitted from the television receiver 1 into data for a mobile phone and transfer it to the mobile phone device 3. In addition, when the reception output of the current broadcast program is interrupted in response to an incoming call interruption and the recording of the program is started, only the recorded contents during the interruption period may be reproduced and output.

  In the above-described embodiment, the operation on the cradle 2 side shown in FIGS. 10 and 11 may be performed on the television receiver recorder 1 side. That is, in the above-described embodiment, the television reception recorder 1 with the cradle 2 is shown. However, the functions on the cradle 2 side shown in FIGS. 10 and 11 may be incorporated in the television reception recorder 1 side.

In the above-described embodiments, the mobile phone device with a TV function is exemplified. However, a mobile phone device with a radio function that receives and outputs the contents of a radio broadcast program may be used.
In addition, the present invention is not limited to the mobile phone device, and can be similarly applied to, for example, a mobile terminal device such as a PDA with a broadcast receiving function that receives broadcast radio waves, an electronic camera, an electronic wristwatch, and a music player.
