(Example 1)
Hereinafter, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
This embodiment exemplifies a case where the present invention is applied to a mobile phone device with a digital TV broadcast receiving function as a TV broadcast receiving device. FIG. 1 shows basic components of a mobile phone device with a digital TV broadcast receiving function. It is the block diagram which showed.
This mobile phone device is a foldable device with two housings that can be opened and closed. In addition to a telephone function (call function), a mail function, an Internet connection function (Web access function), a TV broadcast receiving function, a TV Broadcast recording and playback functions are provided.

  The CPU 1 is a core central processing unit that controls the overall operation of the mobile phone device in accordance with various programs in the storage unit 2. The storage unit 2 is an internal memory, and has a program area and a data area. In this program area, a program for realizing the present embodiment according to an operation procedure shown in FIGS. Stored. The external recording medium 3 is a removable portable memory that supplies various data programs externally. For example, the external recording medium 3 is composed of smart media, an IC card, and the like, and supplies contents such as videos and music to the outside. Even in this case, the external recording medium 3 is used. The memory 4 is an internal memory having a work area, and various data in the memory 4 is saved in the storage unit 2 as necessary.

  The telephone communication unit 5 takes in a signal from the reception side of a transmission / reception unit (baseband unit) connected to an antenna constituting the radio unit, demodulates it to a reception baseband signal, and then receives a reception speaker via the acoustic control unit 6. 7 to output sound. In addition, the telephone communication unit 5 takes in the voice data input from the transmission microphone 8 from the acoustic control unit 6, encodes it into a transmission baseband signal, gives it to the transmission side of the transmission / reception unit, and outputs it from the antenna. . On the other hand, the video content received and acquired via the telephone communication unit 5 by the Internet connection function or the like is given to the main display unit 10 such as an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) via the display control unit 9 and is displayed and output. The sub display unit 11 displays the current date and time, a simple message, an icon, and the like.

  The TV broadcast receiving unit 12 receives a terrestrial digital TV broadcast for a portable receiver such as a mobile phone, and can receive an electronic program guide (EPG) in addition to TV video and audio information. The TV broadcast receiving unit 12 is connected to a TV antenna and receives a broadcast unit (analog circuit unit) that extracts a broadcast signal. The received broadcast signal is demodulated by OFDM (orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) or multiplexed. It has a digital circuit section that separates video, audio, and data (character data) from a signal, decodes them, and decompresses compressed data. Here, the CPU 1 displays and outputs TV video data and character data from the main display unit 10 and outputs TV sound data from the sound speaker 13. The key operation unit 14 performs dial input, character input, command input, and the like, and the CPU 11 executes processing according to a key input signal from the key operation unit 14.

FIG. 2 is a diagram for schematically explaining a reproduction operation executed in response to a reproduction instruction for recording when the broadcast content is viewed in real time during the recording of the television broadcast.
That is, during scheduled recording of a television broadcast, when the user designates real-time viewing of the broadcast reception content being recorded, the CPU 1 outputs the broadcast reception content (real-time video) from the main display unit 10 and also performs real-time viewing. The start position (viewing start position) PS is stored in association with the recorded content.

  When the end of the real-time viewing is designated by the user, the CPU 1 ends the output of the broadcast reception content at this time, and associates the position (viewing end position) PE where the real-time viewing is terminated with the recorded content. Keep it in memory. Based on the viewing start position PS and the viewing end position PE stored and held in this manner, the portion between them is identified as a portion that has been viewed in real time during recording (the hatched portion in the figure). The CPU 1 generates the recording file at the end of recording and records and saves it in the storage unit 2 or the external recording medium 3.

  When the reproduction of the recorded contents is designated by the user, the CPU 1 sequentially reproduces and outputs the recorded contents from the head position, but when the reproduction position reaches the viewing start position PS, the reproduction operation is paused at that time. At the same time, notification is made that the recorded contents that follow are already viewed. In addition, the reproduction of the viewed part from the viewing start position PS to the viewing end position PE is skipped. In this case, if there are a plurality of watched parts, all of them are skipped.

Next, the operation concept of the mobile phone device in the first embodiment will be described 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. This is the same in other embodiments described later. In addition to the recording medium, the program / data supplied from the outside via the transmission medium can be used to execute operations specific to this embodiment.
3 and 4 are flowcharts showing an outline of the operation of the characteristic part of the present embodiment in the overall operation of the mobile phone device. When the flow of FIG. 3 and FIG. Returning to the operation flow (not shown).

3 and 4 are flowcharts showing TV application processing that is started in response to an instruction operation for starting a TV.
First, the CPU 11 determines whether the TV is activated by reserved recording accompanying the arrival of the reserved date or time, or the TV is activated by manual operation (step A1). Channel selection is performed, the television broadcast receiving unit 22 is operated to start reception of the television broadcast, and the recording operation is started (step A2). Then, the presence / absence of any operation is checked (step A3). When a real-time viewing instruction operation is performed during reserved recording (YES in step A4), the currently received broadcast content is displayed and output from the main display unit 10. (Step A5) The position (viewing start position) PS at which real-time viewing is started is stored in association with the recorded content (step A6).

 Next, referring to the reservation contents, it is checked whether or not the recording end time has been reached (step A7). When the recording end time is reached, the recording operation is ended at this point (step A8), and the flow is exited. However, if it is before the end time (NO in step A7), the process returns to the above-described step A3 to check whether there is an operation. Here, when any operation is performed (YES in step A3), it is checked whether the operation is an end operation for instructing the end of real-time viewing (step A9). For example, volume adjustment processing, luminance adjustment processing, and the like are performed (step A12).

 On the other hand, if the operation is an instruction to end real-time viewing (YES in step A9), the CPU 11 ends display output of the real-time video (display off) (step A10) and also ends the real-time viewing (viewing end position). The PE is stored and held in association with the recorded content (step A11). The above operation is repeated until the recording end time is reached (step A7). Therefore, every time real-time viewing is instructed, at least the viewing start position PS is stored.

 On the other hand, when the television is activated by a manual operation (NO in step A1), reception of the television broadcast is started, and the broadcast reception content is output from the main display unit 10 (step A2). Here, if any operation is performed (YES in step A14), it is checked whether it is a reproduction instruction operation (step A15). If the operation is any other operation, for example, volume adjustment is performed as a process corresponding to this operation. Processing, brightness adjustment processing, and the like are performed (step A16). When recording / playback is instructed during real-time viewing (YES in step A15), the flow proceeds to the flow of FIG. 4 and a playback operation for playing back an arbitrary recorded file is performed. .

 First, a recorded file stored in the storage unit 12 or the external recording medium 13 is displayed on a menu (step A17), and when a file to be reproduced is arbitrarily selected from the menu screen (step A18), The reproduction of the recorded content is started (step A19). When any operation is performed (YES in step A20), it is checked whether the operation is an end operation for instructing the end of reproduction (step A21). If any operation is performed (NO in step A21). ) As a process corresponding to this operation, for example, a fast forward process, a fast reverse process, and the like are performed (step A23). If the operation is an end operation, the reproduction operation ends at this point (step A22).

 If no operation is detected (NO in step A20), the current playback position is compared with the viewing start position PS to check whether they match (step A24). It is checked whether or not the reproduction has been completed up to the position (step A31). Here, when the playback position reaches the viewing start position PS (YES in step A24), the playback operation is paused at that time (step A25), and the recorded content that follows is already viewed. Is notified by a message display (step A26). On this message screen, “1: continue playback” indicating that playback is continued regardless of the viewing start position PS, and “viewing a playback position is skipped” indicating that a portion that has been viewed in real time is skipped. 2: Jump "menu is displayed. If the item “1: Continue playback” is selected (NO in step A27), the paused playback operation is resumed (step A33), and the process returns to step A20 described above.

 If the item “2: Jump” is selected (YES in step A27), the presence / absence of the viewing end position PE corresponding to the viewing start position PS is checked (step A28), and the corresponding viewing end position PE is checked. If there is no, a message indicating that reproduction is ended at this point is displayed (step A29), and the process returns to step A14 in FIG. If there is a corresponding viewing end position PE (YES in step A28), the playback position is jumped to the viewing end position PE in order to skip the recording contents from the viewing start position PS to the viewing end position PE. After making it (step A30), it returns to above-mentioned step A20. Thereafter, the above-described operation is repeated. As a result, when the playback to the last position of the recorded file is completed (YES in step A31), a playback end message is displayed and output (step A32), and the process returns to step A in FIG.

 As described above, in the first embodiment, when the current broadcast content is viewed in real time during the recording operation for recording the broadcast content from the television broadcast receiving unit 22, the CPU 11 identifies the location as the viewed location. In the playback operation, it is determined whether or not the current playback position has reached the watched part. If the watched part has been watched, the playback operation is paused at that point or continued thereafter. It is possible to improve operability and convenience by notifying that the recorded content has been viewed or skipping playback of the viewed portion.

 That is, reproduction of unnecessary portions can be cut by skipping reproduction of a portion that has already been viewed, so that fast-forwarding operation and the like are not required, and reproduction time can be shortened. In addition, it is possible to confirm that the playback content after the stop or notification has been watched by pausing the playback operation at the watched location or performing the watched notification, and to ensure that the watched location is specified. It will be a thing. In this case, since the part that has been viewed is identified by the viewing start position PS and the viewing end position PE, the identification is further ensured.

 In the first embodiment described above, the playback skip at the watched location, the pause of the playback operation at the watched location, and the notification of the watched location are performed, but any one of them is performed. Also good. For example, if the playback operation is paused at a watched location instead of skipping the playback of a watched location, the operation can be easily performed when searching for the watched location and performing operations such as fast-forwarding or deleting the relevant portion. Can be done.

In addition, although the part that has been viewed is specified by the viewing start position PS and the viewing end position PE, the viewing time from the viewing start position PS may be stored instead of storing the viewing end position PE. In this case, a portion corresponding to the viewing time from the viewing start position PS may be specified as a viewed portion.
(Example 2)

A second embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.
In the first embodiment described above, a portion that has been viewed in real time during the recording of a television broadcast is skipped during playback of the recorded content or a notification is made that the portion has been viewed. In the second embodiment, in addition to storing the watched part where the broadcast content was watched in real time during the recording of the television broadcast, the real time video and the time shift video in accordance with the instruction of time shift playback (chasing playback) When the playback position catches up with the viewed portion in the state where the display is individually displayed and output, the fact is notified, and the time shift playback is terminated at that time.
Here, the same or the same names in both embodiments are denoted by the same reference numerals, the description thereof will be omitted, and the following description will focus on the features of the second embodiment. .

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a state in which the mobile phone device 21 with a digital television broadcast receiving function is placed (connected) on a cradle (charging stand) 22.
When the mobile phone device 21 is placed (connected) on the cradle 2, the TV broadcast signal received by the TV broadcast reception function is transmitted via the cradle 22 to a PC (personal computer) with a TV broadcast reception function or External output is performed by transmitting to an external output device 23 such as a fixed television set. In this case, not only the external output of the television broadcast but also, for example, movie content supplied externally from a recording medium or downloaded and received from the Internet can be transmitted to the external output device 23 via the cradle 22 for viewing. .

  The cradle 22 has a charging function for supplying a charging current to a secondary battery (not shown) of the mobile phone device 21 when the mobile phone device 21 is placed while being connected to an AC power source. An intelligent cradle having a video transfer function for transferring a video signal to the external output device 23 by relaying the video signal from the mobile phone device 21 to the external output device 23 via a cable. . The external output device 23 receives and outputs a TV video signal and a TV audio signal transmitted from the mobile phone device 21 via the cradle 22. At this time, the mobile output video signal transmitted from the cradle 22 is output. When the video signal is received, the video signal is changed to its current screen size for display output.

  When connected to the cradle 22, the cradle connection portion 21 </ b> A provided in the mobile phone device 21 charges a secondary battery (not shown) with a charging current from the cradle 22. Whether or not the apparatus main body is connected to the cradle 22 is detected based on a connection detection signal output from the unit 21A. In this case, the CPU 1 determines whether or not the external output device 23 is connected based on whether or not it is connected to the cradle 22, and if it is not connected to the cradle 22 (the external output device 23 is connected). In the case where there is not, the reception content of the television broadcast is sequentially output from the main display unit 10, but when it is connected to the cradle 22 (when the external output device 23 is connected), the cradle 22 is used. The broadcast reception content is transmitted to the external output device 23 for external output.

FIG. 6 is a diagram for schematically explaining a reproduction operation executed in response to a time shift reproduction instruction for recording when the broadcast content is viewed in real time during the recording of the television broadcast.
That is, during scheduled recording of a television broadcast, when the user designates real-time viewing of the broadcast reception content being recorded, the CPU 1 causes the main display unit 10 or the external output device 23 to output the broadcast reception content (real-time video). At the same time, the position (viewing start position) PS at which real-time viewing is started is stored in association with the recorded content. When time-shifted playback is instructed during real-time viewing during recording, chasing playback is started in which the recorded content is played back at a fast speed of 1.3 times from the head position. Here, when the current reproduction position catches up with the viewed portion, the fact is notified, and at that time, the time shift reproduction is terminated.

FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 are flowcharts showing TV application processing that is started in accordance with the arrival of the reservation date and time in the second embodiment.
First, the CPU 1 selects a recording target channel according to the reservation content, operates the TV broadcast receiving unit 22 to start receiving the TV broadcast, and starts the recording operation (step B1). Then, it is checked whether any operation has been performed (step B2), the recording content is checked with reference to the reservation content (step B3), and when the recording end time is reached, At this time, the recording operation is finished (step B4), and the process is exited from this flow.

 If any operation is performed (YES in step B2), it is checked whether it is a real-time viewing instruction operation (step B5). If it is any other operation (NO in step B5), this operation is supported. As processing, for example, after performing volume adjustment processing, brightness adjustment processing, and the like (step B10), the process returns to the above-described step B2, but when real-time viewing is instructed during the recording operation (YES in step B5), It is determined whether or not the external output device 23 is connected based on whether or not it is connected to the cradle 22 (step B6). If the external output device 23 is not connected, the broadcast reception content is displayed on the main display. Unit (portable screen) 10 sequentially outputs (step B8), but when the external output device 23 is connected, the contents of broadcast reception are transmitted to the external output device. Send to 23 to output to the outside (step B7). Then, the position (viewing start position) PS at which real-time viewing is started is stored and held in association with the recorded content (step B9).

 Then, the flow proceeds to the flow of FIG. 8 to check whether any operation has been performed (step B11), check whether the recording end time has been reached (step B12), and when the recording end time has been reached. 7, but when any operation is performed (YES in step B11), it is a reproduction instruction operation for instructing time shift reproduction (chase reproduction) (step B13), or the end of recording is instructed. It is checked whether the operation is an end operation (step B14), and if it is another operation (NO in step B14), for example, after performing volume adjustment processing, brightness adjustment processing, etc. as processing corresponding to this operation (step B15), It returns to above-mentioned step B11.

 When chasing playback is instructed (YES in step B13), it is determined whether the external output device 23 is connected based on whether it is connected to the cradle 22 (step B16). If 23 is not connected, a playback operation for playing back the recorded content with subtitles is started (step B19). In this case, chasing playback is performed at a fast forward speed of 1.3 times going back to the head position of the recorded content. Then, the CPU 1 divides the screen of the main display unit 10 into two display areas, and displays and outputs the reproduction content (video with captions) in one display area (sub-screen) (step B20).

 FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating a display state of the main display unit 10, and FIG. 9A illustrates a case where a television broadcast is recorded when the cradle 22 is not connected (when the external output device 23 is not connected). The contents of the screen during real-time viewing are shown, and the mark “Recording” is displayed in this screen. In this state, (B) shows the screen content when real-time viewing and chasing playback are simultaneously viewed. In this case, the screen of the main display unit 10 is made into a multi-window and divided into two display areas. That is, the screen is divided into a main screen 10A and a sub-screen 10B. A real-time video is displayed on the main screen 10A, and a playback video (time-shifted video) with subtitles is displayed on the sub-screen 10B. As described above, in the state where the real-time video and the time-shift video are displayed at the same time, the sound from the sound speaker 13 is the sound of the content of the main screen 10A.

 If the external output device 23 is connected (YES in step B16), the recording / reproducing operation is started, and the chasing reproduction is performed at a fast speed of 1.3 times by going back to the head position of the recorded contents (step B17). The reproduction content is displayed and output from the main display unit 10 (step B8). In this case, in a state where the real-time video is displayed on the external output device 23, a time-shifted video is displayed on the main surface (portable screen) 20 in response to the chasing playback instruction.

 Thus, in the state where the real-time video and the time-shift video are individually displayed during recording, the CPU 1 checks whether or not there is an operation (step B21), compares the current playback position with the viewing start position PS, and plays back. It is checked whether the position has caught up with the viewing start position PS (step B22). Here, when the playback position catches up with the viewing start position PS, the end of the playback operation at this point is output by outputting a voice / display message to notify the end (step B23), and then the chasing playback operation is ended. At the same time (step B25), the display output of the time-shifted video is terminated (display off) (step B26).

 And it returns to above-mentioned step B11 and checks the presence or absence of operation. Even when an instruction operation to end playback is performed (YES in step B24), chasing playback ends (step B25), playback display is turned off (step B26), and other operations are performed. If this is the case (NO in step B24), processing corresponding to this operation is executed (step B27), and then the process returns to step B21 described above.

 As described above, in the second embodiment, the CPU 11 stores and holds the watched portion (viewing start position) PS where the broadcast content is viewed in real time during the recording of the television broadcast, and performs time-shift playback (chasing playback). ) In the state where the real-time video and the time-shifted video are individually displayed and output according to the instruction of), when the playback position catches up with the watched part, the fact that the playback after the notification is viewed can be viewed. After that, you can know that simultaneous display of real-time video and time-shifted video is unnecessary after that, and you can quickly stop simultaneous viewing and concentrate on real-time video It becomes.

 The CPU 1 determines whether or not the external output device 23 is connected based on whether or not it is connected to the cradle 22, and when it is not connected to the cradle 22 (when the external output device 23 is not connected). The broadcast reception content is sequentially output from the main display unit 10, but when the cradle 22 is connected (when the external output device 23 is connected), the broadcast reception content is externally transmitted via the cradle 22. By transmitting to the output device 23 and outputting it to the outside, it is possible to view the broadcast reception content on the external output device 23 simply by placing the device body on the cradle 22.

 When chasing playback is instructed when the external output device 23 is not connected, the main display unit 10 is divided into a main screen 10A and a sub screen 10B as two display areas, and the main screen 10A includes Since the real-time video is displayed and the playback video (time-shift video) with subtitles is displayed on the sub-screen 10B, the real-time video and the time-shift video can be simultaneously viewed on the same screen.

 In the second embodiment described above, the main display unit 10 is divided into the main screen 10A and the sub-screen 10B to display the real-time video and the time-shifted video at the same time, but the real-time video is displayed on the external output device 23. In such a state, a screen division signal may be transmitted to the external output device 23 when chasing playback is instructed. In this case, on the side of the external output device 23, the same screen may be divided into a main screen and a sub screen so that the real time video and the time shift video are displayed simultaneously. Further, the contents of the main screen and the sub screen may be switched and displayed according to the output destination switching instruction.

 In the second embodiment described above, whether or not the apparatus main body is placed (connected) on the cradle 22 is checked to determine whether or not it is connected to the external output device 23 via the cradle 22. However, the cradle 22 may be provided with a connector portion, and whether or not the external output device 23 is connected may be determined based on whether or not the external output device 23 is connected to the connector portion. Further, the external output device 23 may be directly connected to the apparatus main body by a cable or a connector. Further, in each of the above-described embodiments, the communication means between the cradle 22 and the external output device 23 is not limited to a cable, and infrared communication or short-range wireless communication may be used.

Further, the external output device is not limited to a PC or a fixed television device, but may be a projection screen or the like. Further, the television broadcast receiving unit 12 may be equipped with a double tuner.
In addition, when the video is simultaneously output by the external output device and the mobile phone device, the sound may be individually output. In this case, a sound output from the earphone may be a condition on the mobile phone device side.

In addition, the present invention is not limited to mobile phone devices with a TV broadcast reception function, and can be similarly applied to mobile terminal devices such as PDAs, electronic cameras, electronic watches, and music players with a TV broadcast reception function. Further, not limited to the portable terminal device, it may of course be a PC with a TV broadcast receiving function or a fixed TV device.
Here, when a PC or a fixed television apparatus with a television broadcast receiving function is used as the television broadcast receiving apparatus, the external output device for the PC may be a portable terminal device such as a mobile phone device.
