<Second Embodiment>
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the first embodiment described above, it is determined from the URL of the web page site whether the web page site being displayed is a site related to a television program. On the other hand, in this embodiment, the displayed web page is analyzed to determine whether it is related to the television program. Furthermore, in this embodiment, EPG information is analyzed and compiled into a database, and the date and time of broadcasting, the name of the broadcasting station, etc. are determined by comparison with the EPG information database, and the portion of the web page related to television broadcasting is determined. , Hyperlinks are added. When the part indicated by this hyperlink is selected, the program is reserved before the broadcast of the television program, the program is received and played back during the broadcast, and the web related to the program is broadcast after the broadcast. A page is displayed.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 8, electronic program information (EPG: Electronic Program Guide) indicating a program broadcast schedule of each television station is provided during television broadcasting or on the Internet. Morphological analysis of the EPG character information is performed, and an EPG character string database is created based on the result of the morphological analysis. In the morphological analysis, a character string written in a natural language is divided into character strings of morphemes (the smallest unit having meaning in the language), and each part of speech is discriminated.

  For example, the EPG information of FIG. 8 includes character information of “Opening ceremony of high school baseball tournament”, and this character information is subjected to morphological analysis. That is, the character string “opening ceremony of high school baseball” is divided into words according to a known method, further divided into parts of speech using Japanese grammar and a word dictionary, and nouns are preferentially extracted as keywords. The above operations are automatically performed using appropriate software. Thus, as shown in FIG. 9A, the character string is divided into minimum units, and each part of speech is determined. In other words, the character information “opening ceremony of high school baseball tournament” is a character string of the minimum unit of “high school baseball (noun)”, “meeting (noun)”, “no (particle)”, “opening ceremony (noun)”. Each part of speech is determined. By extracting nouns from these, a character string as a keyword as shown in FIG. 9B, that is, “high school baseball”, “meeting”, and “opening ceremony” are extracted. As shown in FIG. 10, an EPG character string database including a broadcast station name, a channel, a broadcast start time, a broadcast end time, and a keyword character string is created from the character string that is the keyword. That is, “Broadcasting station” is “XY TV”, “Channel” is “5ch”, “Broadcast start time” is “09:45”, “Broadcast end time” is “10:45”, and “Keyword character string” is “High school baseball”, “Meeting”, “Opening ceremony”. Here, the keyword may be created not by morphological analysis using the word dictionary as described above but by a method of cutting out based on switching of character types. For example, a process of cutting out “high school baseball / no / opening ceremony” using switching of kanji, katakana, hiragana, alphanumeric characters, symbols, etc. may be morphological analysis.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 11, character information is included in the Internet web page. For example, this web page includes character information “relay the opening ceremony of a high school baseball tournament”. When this character information is morphologically analyzed, as shown in FIG. 12A, the character information is divided into minimum character strings, and each part of speech is determined. In other words, the character information “opening ceremony of high school baseball tournament” is a character string of the minimum unit of “high school baseball (noun)”, “meeting (noun)”, “no (particle)”, “opening ceremony (noun)”. Each part of speech is determined. By extracting nouns from these, the determination target character strings “high school baseball”, “meeting”, and “opening ceremony” as shown in FIG. 12B are extracted.

  If the determination target character string can be extracted, it is determined whether or not the determination target character string is included in the keyword character string of the EPG character string database (FIG. 10). If the determination target character string is included in the keyword character string of the EPG character string database, a TV link is added.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 13, the TV link is described as a tag of a hyperlink of a hyper language such as HTML. When the information by this tag is displayed on the viewer, the TV link 61 is displayed as shown in FIG. In addition, as shown in FIG. 15, you may make it change the display form of TV link 61a-61c before a broadcast, during a broadcast, and after a broadcast.

  The user can know from the TV link 61 that the program provided on the web page is related to the television program. Here, when the portion indicated by the TV link 61 is selected, the reserved recording of the program is performed before the broadcast of the television program, reception and reproduction of the program is started during the broadcast, and the program is broadcast after the broadcast. The web page related to is displayed and the web page is displayed. The user can read, for example, the baseball game result after the broadcast and the outline of the drama on the web page.

  In the above example, EPG information is analyzed to generate keywords of the EPG character string database, but a television broadcast station name, a program name, or the like may be used as a keyword. In this case, the keyword may be stored in the memory 23 in advance. In addition, keywords may be provided during television broadcasting or the Internet.

  FIG. 16 is a functional block diagram based on the operation of the second exemplary embodiment of the present invention. The functional block diagram of FIG. 16 includes a web page browsing unit 201, a web page analysis unit 202, an EPG acquisition unit 203, an EPG character string data generation unit 204, an EPG character string database 205, a TV related character string determination unit 206, and a TV link insertion. Unit 207, TV link selection unit 208, broadcast time determination unit 209, TV recording unit 210, TV reception display unit 211, and information display unit 212. The EPG character string database 205 is stored in the memory 23 of FIG. 2, but other members are provided in the main control unit 21. As shown in FIG. 16, the web page browsing unit 201 displays an internet web page. The web page analysis unit 202 analyzes the displayed web page of the Internet and extracts a determination target character string. The determination target character string is extracted by performing morphological analysis on the character string in the web page.

  Further, the EPG acquisition unit 203 receives EPG information transmitted during television broadcasting or provided on the Internet, and acquires EPG information. The EPG character string data generation unit 204 extracts keywords from this EPG information by morphological analysis, and forms an EPG character string database 205.

  The TV-related character string determination unit 206 compares the keyword character string in the EPG character string database 205 with the determination target character string from the web page analysis unit 202. Then, the TV link insertion unit 207 adds a TV link to a portion related to television broadcasting.

  The TV link selection unit 208 determines whether or not the portion indicated by the TV link has been selected. When the portion indicated by the TV link is selected, the broadcast time determination unit 209 determines whether or not the television program is being broadcast. Then, it is determined whether it is after the broadcast. If the television program is not broadcast, the TV recording unit 210 reserves the program. If the television program is being broadcast, the TV reception display unit 211 receives and reproduces the program. If the John program is broadcast, the information display unit 212 moves to a web page site related to the program, and the web page is displayed. Here, when a television program is not broadcast, it may be a viewing reservation for receiving and reproducing when the program starts, instead of recording the program. Of course, recording reservation and viewing reservation may be selected.

  FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing the operation of the second exemplary embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 17, it is determined whether new EPG information is available (step S201). If new EPG information is available, EPG information is obtained (step S202). Morphological analysis of the character information of the EPG information is performed (step S203), and an EPG character string database is created based on the result of this morphological analysis (step S204).

  It is determined whether or not the viewer for browsing the web page has been activated (step S205). When the viewer is activated, the morphological analysis of the character information of the displayed web page is performed (step S206), and the character string to be determined is Extracted (step S207). Then, it is searched whether or not the determination target character string is in the EPG character string database (step S208).

  If the determination target character string is present in the EPG character string database in step S208, a TV link is added to that portion (step S209). Then, it is determined whether or not it is the end of the determination target character string (step S210). If it is not the end of the determination target character string, it is moved to the next determination target character string (step S211), and the process returns to step S207.

  If it is determined in step S208 that the determination target character string is not in the EPG character string database, it is determined whether or not the determination target character string is the end of the determination target character string (step S210). (Step S211), the process returns to Step S207.

  By repeating the loop of steps S207 to S211, it is determined whether each determination target character string extracted from the web page is in the EPG character string database, and the determination target character string is the EPG character string database. If it is inside, a TV link is added to that part.

  If it is determined in step S210 that the character string to be determined is the last character string, a TV link is displayed (step S212). Then, it is determined whether or not the TV link portion has been selected by a user operation (step S213).

  If the TV link portion is not selected in step S213, it is determined whether or not the page has been moved to a new page (step S214). If the page has not been moved to a new page, the process returns to step S212 and the TV link display continues. Is done.

  If it is determined in step S213 that the TV link portion has been selected, it is determined whether the program is before the start of broadcasting, during broadcasting, or after the end of broadcasting (step S215). If the television program is not broadcast, the reserved recording of the program is performed (step S216). If the broadcast is being broadcast, the program is received and reproduced (step S217). After the broadcast, a web page related to the program is displayed. (Step S218).

  As described above, in the second embodiment of the present invention, the displayed web page is analyzed to determine whether the site is related to a television program, and further, by comparison with EPG information. The broadcast date and time, the broadcast station name, etc. are determined, a TV link is added to the portion of the web page related to the television broadcast, and when the portion indicated by the TV link is selected, before the broadcast of the television program Then, the program is reserved.

The mail analysis unit 302 analyzes mail character information by morphological analysis, and extracts a determination target character string.

  In addition, the EPG acquisition unit 303 receives EPG information transmitted during television broadcasting or provided on the Internet, and acquires EPG information. The EPG character string data generation unit 304 extracts keywords from this EPG information by morphological analysis, and forms an EPG character string database 305.

  The TV-related character string determination unit 306 compares the keyword character string in the EPG character string database 305 with the determination target character string from the mail analysis unit 302. The TV link insertion unit 307 adds a TV link to a portion related to television broadcasting.

  The TV link selection unit 308 determines whether or not the portion indicated by the TV link has been selected. When the portion indicated by the TV link is selected, the broadcast time determination unit 309 determines whether or not the television program is being broadcast. Then, it is determined whether it is after the broadcast. Before the broadcast of the television program, the TV recording unit 310 performs scheduled recording of the program. If the television program is being broadcast, the TV program display unit 311 receives and reproduces the program. If the television program is broadcast, the information display unit 312 moves to a web page site related to the program and displays the web page.

  FIG. 21 is a flowchart showing the operation of the third exemplary embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 21, it is determined whether new EPG information is available (step S301). If new EPG information is available, EPG information is obtained (step S302). Morphological analysis of the character information of the EPG information is performed (step S303), and an EPG character string database is created based on the result of this morphological analysis.

  It is determined whether or not a mailer for sending and receiving mail has been activated (step S305). When the mailer is activated, morphological analysis of character information of the displayed mail is performed (step S306), and a determination target character string is extracted. (Step S307). Then, it is searched whether or not the determination target character string is in the EPG character string database (step S308).

  If it is determined in step S308 that the determination target character string is in the EPG character string database, a TV link is added to that portion (step S309). Then, it is determined whether or not it is the end of the determination target character string (step S310). If it is not the end of the determination target character string, it is moved to the next determination target character string (step S311), and the process returns to step S307.

  If it is determined in step S308 that the determination target character string is not in the EPG character string database, it is determined whether the determination target character string is the end of the determination target character string (step S310). (Step S311), the process returns to Step S307.

  By repeating the loop of steps S307 to S311, it is determined whether each determination target character string extracted from the mail is in the EPG character string database, and the determination target character string is stored in the EPG character string database. If there is, a TV link is added to that portion.

  If it is determined in step S310 that the character string to be determined is the last character string, a TV link is displayed (step S312). Then, it is determined whether or not the TV link portion has been selected by the user operation (step S313).

  If the TV link portion is not selected in step S313, it is determined whether or not the page has been moved to a new page (step S314). If the page has not been moved to the new page, the process returns to step S312 and the TV link display continues. Is done.

  If it is determined in step S313 that the TV link portion has been selected, it is determined whether the program is before the start of broadcasting, during broadcasting, or after the end of broadcasting (step S315). If the television program is not broadcast, the program is reserved (step S316). If the program is being broadcast, the program is received and reproduced (step S317). After the broadcast, a web page related to the program is displayed. (Step S318).
