  The control unit 45 controls the entire mobile phone 1 and performs predetermined control on the communication unit 41, the image processing unit 42, the display unit 21, the audio processing unit 43, and the broadcast receiving unit 46. A specific configuration of the control unit 45 will be described later.

  The mobile phone 1 configured as described above has a function of recording one program as one recorded data.

Below, the structure and operation | movement for exhibiting the said function which concerns on the mobile telephone 1 are explained in full detail.
First, a configuration for exhibiting the above functions of the mobile phone 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a functional block diagram showing a configuration for the mobile phone 1 to exhibit the above functions.

As a program recording device, the mobile phone 1 includes a broadcast receiving unit 46, a dividing unit 45a, an acquiring unit 45b, a determining unit 45c, a storage control unit 45d, a first storage unit 44a, and a second storage unit 44b. Is provided.
The broadcast receiving unit 46 receives a plurality of continuous programs included in a predetermined recording time together with related information related to the programs. When the mobile phone 1 receives a program from a broadcast station, the broadcast receiving unit 46 acquires related information regarding the program included in a broadcast wave transmitted from the broadcast station. Specific examples of the relationship information include identification information (ID) for each broadcast program, EIT (Event Information Table) describing information such as broadcast date and time, program name, and performers, Japan standard time and date information. For example, TOT (Time Offset Table). The EIT includes EIT (present EIT (EIT [p])) of a program currently being broadcast and EIT (following EIT (EIT [f])) of the next program of the program currently being broadcast.

  The second storage unit 44 b constitutes a part of the storage unit 44. The second storage unit 44b stores a plurality of programs received by the broadcast receiving unit 46 and related information related to the programs.

  The dividing unit 45a divides each of the plurality of programs stored in the second storage unit 44b as one program data based on the relationship information. That is, when a plurality of temporally continuous programs and related information related to these programs are supplied from the second storage unit 44b, the dividing unit 45a, for example, adds IDs or EITs added to the programs. Based on this, a plurality of temporally continuous programs are divided into one program.

  The acquisition unit 45b acquires the program recording time of each program data divided by the division unit 45a based on the relationship information. That is, the acquisition unit 45b calculates the remaining program recording time in the broadcast program from the current time acquired from the TOT and the broadcast end time acquired from the EIT [p] of the currently broadcast program.

  The determination unit 45c determines whether or not the program recording time of one piece of program data after division is equal to or longer than a predetermined ratio with respect to the broadcast time of the program corresponding to the program data. That is, the determination unit 45c acquires the broadcast time of the program from the EIT [p], and determines whether the program recording time of the program is equal to or longer than a predetermined ratio with respect to the broadcast time of the program. The predetermined ratio is appropriately set by the user of the mobile phone 1. For example, when 10% is set as the predetermined ratio and the program broadcast time is 1 hour, the determination unit 45c determines that the program recording time of the program is 6 minutes or more (the predetermined ratio (10% relative to the program broadcast time (1 hour)). ) Or more).

The first storage unit 44 a constitutes a part of the storage unit 44.
When the determination unit 45c determines that the program recording time of one divided program data is equal to or longer than a predetermined ratio of the broadcast time of the program, the storage control unit 45d converts the one divided program data into one The recorded data is stored in the first storage unit 44a.

Therefore, the mobile phone 1 can record data that is confirmed to be one program as a single recorded data under a certain condition when recording is performed across a plurality of programs.
In addition, since the mobile phone 1 creates recording data for each program even when recording is performed across programs (when a plurality of programs are recorded continuously), recording is performed by a conventional program recording apparatus. Unlike the recorded data, it is not necessary to perform an operation such as fast-forwarding to a program that the user wants to view, and the program that the user wants to view can be easily viewed. Moreover, since the recording data is created for each program, the mobile phone 1 can easily check the list of recorded programs.

The mobile phone 1 further includes a setting unit 45e that constitutes a program recording device.
The setting unit 45e sets the divided program data obtained by the acquisition unit 45b to be equal to or longer than a predetermined minimum recording time as one recording data. For example, when 1 hour is set as the predetermined minimum recording time, the setting unit 45e sets the program data as one recording data if the program recording time of the program is 1 hour or more.
The storage control unit 45d stores one recording data set by the setting unit 45e in the first storage unit 44a.
Therefore, the mobile phone 1 can record data that is confirmed to be one program as a single recorded data under a certain condition when recording is performed across a plurality of programs.

The cellular phone 1 further includes a coupling unit 45f that constitutes a program recording device.
The combining unit 45f combines the program data acquired by the acquisition unit 45b with the program recording time shorter than the predetermined minimum recording time with other program data to form one recording data. For example, when all of the first program and a part of the second program are recorded based on a predetermined recording reservation setting and the program recording time of the second program is less than a predetermined minimum recording time, the combining unit 45f The data of the first program and the data of the second program are combined into one recorded data.
Therefore, the mobile phone 1 can avoid unnecessary recording data from being created by combining unnecessary program data with other program data by the combining unit 45f.

  In addition, when combining the program data with other program data, the combining unit 45f has the program data existing immediately before or immediately after the program data and stored in the first storage unit 44a as one recorded data. May be combined with the program data. In this case, the combining unit 45f may acquire the program name from the EIT included in the other program data, and set the acquired program name as the file name of the recording data. Thus, even when program data and other program data are recorded in this order in one recording data, the file name of the recording data is set based on the EIT of the other program data. The user who uses can immediately confirm that other program data is recorded simply by looking at the file name of the recorded data.

  Further, when combining the program data with other program data, the combining unit 45f may add index information representing a combined portion of the data between the program data and the other program data. Thereby, the user who uses the mobile phone 1 does not have time and effort to search for program data or other program data.

The mobile phone 1 further includes a deletion unit 45g that constitutes a program recording device.
The deletion unit 45g deletes program data whose program recording time acquired by the acquisition unit 45b is less than a predetermined minimum recording time.
Accordingly, since the mobile phone 1 deletes unnecessary program data, it can be avoided that unnecessary recording data is created. In addition, the mobile phone 1 can secure the free space of the first storage unit 44a, and may make it difficult for the phenomenon that the recording fails because the free space of the first storage unit 44a is small at the time of recording. it can.

  The plurality of programs described above include a copy-once program and a dubbing 10 program. Here, the copy-once program refers to a program that allows the recorded data stored in the first storage unit 44a to be moved to another recording medium such as an optical disk only once. The dubbing 10 program is a program that can copy the recorded data stored in the first storage unit 44a to another recording medium such as an optical disk nine times and move once. Say.

  In addition, in the recording data recorded by the program recording device of the prior art, when one copy data includes a copy-once program and a dubbing 10 program, all the programs included in the recording data are From the viewpoint of copyright protection, it is treated as a copy-once program.

In this respect, since the mobile phone 1 creates recording data for each program even when recording is performed across a plurality of programs, a plurality of programs are included in one recording data. Can be prevented from being treated as a copy-once program.
The plurality of programs may include programs other than the copy-once program and the dubbing 10 program (programs for which other copy control is set).

The mobile phone 1 includes a reservation unit 45h, a third storage unit 44c, and a reception control unit 45i.
The reservation unit 45h makes a recording reservation for a predetermined program. Specifically, the reservation unit 45h makes a recording reservation for a predetermined program by inputting a recording start time, a recording end time, a channel for broadcasting the program, and the like.

  The third storage unit 44c stores a calendar capable of registering information about the recording reservation made by the reservation unit 45h. That is, when recording reservation of a predetermined program is performed by the reservation unit 45h, the storage control unit 45d registers the program reserved for recording in the calendar stored in the third storage unit 44c.

  The reception control unit 45i operates the broadcast receiving unit 46 of the program recording apparatus based on the information about the recording reservation registered in the calendar. That is, the reception control unit 45i activates the broadcast receiving unit 46 when the time measured in the mobile phone 1 reaches the recording start time of the recording reservation registered in the calendar. The broadcast receiving unit 46 operates intermittently based on the control by the reception control unit 45i. The broadcast receiving unit 46 is activated based on the activation control by the reception control unit 45i and receives a program reserved for recording.

  Therefore, the mobile phone 1 can record a program using the program recording device.

  Note that the above-described program recording apparatus is configured such that the user manually starts recording and ends recording while watching the program, and the recording setting of the program that the user wants to record in advance (broadcast station, recording start time and recording end). Manual scheduled recording for performing operations such as time setting) can be performed.

Next, a recording data generation pattern when manual reserved recording is performed will be described.
FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining a recording schedule. FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining a recording data generation pattern when manual reserved recording is performed.

  In the recording schedule shown in FIG. 4, when program A, program B, and program C are broadcast in this order in sequence, a part of program A, a whole program B, A part of the program C is recorded. The broadcast time of program A is Ta, the broadcast time of program B is Tb, and the broadcast time of program C is Tc. In addition, it is assumed that the time at which manual reserved recording starts is a, the time at which broadcast of program B is started is b, the time at which broadcast of program C is started is c, and the time at which manual reserved recording ends is d. Further, the time during which manual reserved recording is performed (the time between time a and time d) is set as the recording time.

  In such a recording schedule, the determination unit 45c determines the ratio of the program recording time to the program broadcast time for the program A as shown in FIG. That is, the determination unit 45c determines whether or not the recording time (b−a) of the program A is equal to or longer than a predetermined time (minimum recording time ratio R) (Ta × R) with respect to the broadcast time Ta of the program A. Do. When the determination unit 45c determines that (Ta × R) ≦ (b−a), the storage control unit 45d stores the data of the program A to be recorded in the first storage unit 44a as one recording data.

  When the determination unit 45c determines that the recording time of the program A is not equal to or longer than a predetermined ratio of the broadcast time of the program A ((Ta × R)> (b−a)), the setting unit 45e It is determined whether or not the recording time (b-a) is equal to or longer than a predetermined minimum recording time α. When determining that α ≦ (b−a), the setting unit 45e sets the data of the program A to be recorded as one recording data regardless of the determination result by the determination unit 45c. In this case, the storage control unit 45d stores one piece of recording data set by the setting unit 45e in the first storage unit 44a. On the other hand, when determining that α> (b−a), the setting unit 45e does not set the data of the program A to be recorded as one recording data. In this case, the combining unit 45f combines the data of program A with the data of other programs (in the case shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, data of program B).

  In addition, the determination unit 45c performs the same determination on the program B as in the case of the program A. In the recording schedule shown in FIG. 4, since all of the program B is recorded, the determination unit 45c determines that (Tb × R) ≦ (c−b). Accordingly, the storage control unit 45d stores the data of the program B to be recorded in the first storage unit 44a as one recording data.

  Further, the determination unit 45c determines the ratio of the program recording time to the program broadcast time for the program C as in the case of the program A. When the determination unit 45c determines that (Tc × R) ≦ (dc), the storage control unit 45d stores the data of the program C to be recorded in the first storage unit 44a as one recording data.

  When the determination unit 45c determines that the recording time of the program C is not equal to or longer than a predetermined ratio of the broadcast time of the program C ((Tc × R)> (dc)), the setting unit 45e It is determined whether or not the recording time (dc) is equal to or longer than a predetermined minimum recording time α. When determining that α ≦ (dc), the setting unit 45e sets data of the program C to be recorded as one recording data regardless of the determination result by the determination unit 45c. In this case, the storage control unit 45d stores one piece of recording data set by the setting unit 45e in the first storage unit 44a. On the other hand, when determining that α> (dc), the setting unit 45e does not set the data of the program C to be recorded as one recording data. In this case, the combining unit 45f combines the data of the program C with the data of another program (in the case shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the data of the program B).

Next, the operation of the mobile phone 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the operation of the mobile phone 1 when manual reservation recording is performed.

  In step S103, the determination unit 45c determines the recording time rate. That is, the determination unit 45c determines whether or not the program recording time Tr of the program is equal to or greater than a predetermined ratio (minimum recording time ratio R) with respect to the broadcast time Td of the program. If it is determined that (Td × R)> Tr, the process proceeds to step S104. If it is determined that (Td × R) ≦ Tr, the process proceeds to step S108.

  In step S104, the setting unit 45e determines the recording time. That is, the setting unit 45e determines whether or not the program recording time Tr is equal to or longer than a predetermined minimum recording time α. If it is determined that α> Tr, the process proceeds to step S105. If it is determined that α ≦ Tr, the process proceeds to step S108.

  In step S <b> 105, the control unit 45 determines whether to delete (erase) the recorded program data with reference to information on whether or not to delete the program data set in advance by the user. If the program data is to be deleted (YES), the process proceeds to step S106. If the program data is not deleted (NO), the process proceeds to step S107.

In step S106, the deletion unit 45g deletes the program data.
In step S107, the combining unit 45f combines the program data with other program data to generate one recorded data.

  In step S108, the control unit 45 determines whether or not the next program is the final program to be recorded. That is, the control unit 45 determines whether or not the next program is the last program within the recording time for manual reserved recording. If the next program is the final program to be recorded (YES), the process proceeds to step S109. If the next program is not the final program to be recorded (NO), the process proceeds to step S114.

  In step S109, the determination unit 45c determines the recording time rate. That is, the determination unit 45c determines whether or not the program recording time Tr of the program is equal to or greater than a predetermined ratio (minimum recording time ratio R) with respect to the broadcast time Td of the program. If it is determined that (Td × R)> Tr, the process proceeds to step S110. If it is determined that (Td × R) ≦ Tr, the process proceeds to step S114.

  In step S110, the setting unit 45e determines the recording time. That is, the setting unit 45e determines whether or not the program recording time Tr is equal to or longer than a predetermined minimum recording time α. If it is determined that α> Tr, the process proceeds to step S111. If it is determined that α ≦ Tr, the process proceeds to step S114.

  In step S111, the control unit 45 determines whether to delete the recorded program data with reference to information on whether to delete the program data, which is preset by the user. If the program data is to be deleted (YES), the process proceeds to step S112. If the program data is not deleted (NO), the process proceeds to step S113.

In step S112, the deletion unit 45g deletes (deletes) the program data.
In step S113, the combining unit 45f combines the program data with the other previous program data to generate one recorded data.

  In step S114, the storage control unit 45d saves the recorded program data as one recording data in the first storage unit 44a.

  In step S115, the control unit 45 continues the recording process.

  In step S116, the storage control unit 45d stores the recording data in the first storage unit 44a.

Next, a recording data generation pattern in the case of performing manual recording will be described.
FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining a recording data generation pattern when manual recording is performed.

  The recording schedule is the same as that shown in FIG. That is, in the recording schedule, when program A, program B, and program C are broadcast in this order in sequence, a part of program A, a whole program B, and a part of program C are divided. Manual recording is performed so as to be recorded.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the determination unit 45 c determines the ratio of the program recording time to the program broadcast time for the program A. That is, the determination unit 45c determines whether or not the recording time (b−a) of the program A is equal to or longer than a predetermined time (minimum recording time ratio R) (Ta × R) with respect to the broadcast time Ta of the program A. Do. When the determination unit 45c determines that (Ta × R) ≦ (b−a), the storage control unit 45d stores the data of the program A to be recorded in the first storage unit 44a as one recording data.

  When the determination unit 45c determines that the recording time of the program A is not equal to or longer than a predetermined ratio of the broadcast time of the program A ((Ta × R)> (b−a)), the setting unit 45e It is determined whether or not the recording time (b-a) is equal to or longer than a predetermined minimum recording time α. When determining that α ≦ (b−a), the setting unit 45e sets the data of the program A to be recorded as one recording data regardless of the determination result by the determination unit 45c. In this case, the storage control unit 45d stores one piece of recording data set by the setting unit 45e in the first storage unit 44a. On the other hand, when determining that α> (b−a), the setting unit 45e does not set the data of the program A to be recorded as one recording data. In this case, the combining unit 45f combines the data of the program A with the data of another program (in the case shown in FIG. 7, the data of the program B).

  For program B, processing similar to that for program A is performed by determination unit 45c and setting unit 45e.

  For the program C, the same determination as in the case of the program A is performed, and if it is set not to be deleted by the user setting even if it is not recognized as one recorded data, it is stored in the first storage unit 44a as recorded data. Remembered.

Next, the operation of the mobile phone 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the operation of the mobile phone 1 when performing manual recording.

  First, in step S <b> 201, the control unit 45 performs a recording process for a program received by the broadcast receiving unit 46.

  In step S202, the control unit 45 determines an event. If the event is the end of the program, the process proceeds to step S203. If the event is the end of recording by a user operation, the process proceeds to step S210.

  In step S203, the determination unit 45c determines the recording time rate. That is, the determination unit 45c determines whether or not the program recording time Tr of the program is equal to or greater than a predetermined ratio (minimum recording time ratio R) with respect to the broadcast time Td of the program. If it is determined that (Td × R)> Tr, the process proceeds to step S204. If it is determined that (Td × R) ≦ Tr, the process proceeds to step S208.

  In step S204, the setting unit 45e determines the recording time. That is, the setting unit 45e determines whether or not the program recording time Tr is equal to or longer than a predetermined minimum recording time α. If it is determined that α> Tr, the process proceeds to step S205. If it is determined that α ≦ Tr, the process proceeds to step S208.

  In step S205, the control unit 45 refers to information on whether or not to delete the program data set in advance by the user, and determines whether or not to delete (erase) the recorded program data. If the program data is to be deleted (YES), the process proceeds to step S206. If the program data is not deleted (NO), the process proceeds to step S207.

In step S206, the deletion unit 45g deletes (deletes) the program data.
In step S207, the combining unit 45f combines the program data with other program data to generate one recording data.

  In step S208, the storage control unit 45d saves the recorded program data as one recording data in the first storage unit 44a.

  In step S209, the control unit 45 continues the recording process.

  In step S210, the control unit 45 determines whether the recorded final program is established as one program. That is, the determination unit 45c performs the same determination as in step S203 for the final program. Further, the setting unit 45e performs the same determination as in S204 for the final program. When the recorded final program is not established as one program, that is, when the final program is determined as (Td × R)> Tr by the determination unit 45c and α> Tr is determined by the setting unit 45e, step The process proceeds to S211. When the recorded program is established as one program, that is, when the final program is determined as (Td × R) ≦ Tr by the determination unit 45c and α ≦ Tr is determined by the setting unit 45e, step S213 is performed. Proceed to

  In step S211, the control unit 45 refers to information on whether or not to delete the program data set in advance by the user, and determines whether or not to delete (erase) the data of the recorded final program. Do. If the program data is to be deleted (YES), the process proceeds to step S212. If the program data is not deleted (NO), the process proceeds to step S213.

In step S212, the deletion unit 45g deletes (deletes) the program data.
In step S213, the storage control unit 45d stores the recording data in the first storage unit 44a.
