Description

  The present invention relates to a content recording support system and method, and a content recording apparatus.

  Efforts for “smart TV” that connects TV and the Internet are unprecedented worldwide. This key device is a mobile terminal such as a smartphone or tablet terminal. By linking the TV and mobile terminal directly or via the Internet, the TV screen becomes the “main screen” and the mobile terminal becomes the “sub-screen”. The movement to create new services through “multi-screen” is becoming popular.

  In Japan, in anticipation of a drastic decrease in TV sales after terrestrial digitalization, the company is currently working on “smart TV” in order to find new purchasing incentives. In addition, the recording capacity is increasing due to the increase in hard disk capacity of recorders with built-in hard disks (DVD recorders, Blu-ray recorders, etc.) and TVs with built-in hard disks, and support for USB external hard disks. Services have also been proposed in which broadcast content stored in these is viewed on a mobile terminal via a home network or linked to information on the Internet.

  In order to associate broadcast contents with a large amount of information on the Internet, it is necessary to acquire keywords of the broadcast contents. This keyword includes what is called “broadcast metadata”. “Broadcast metadata” includes data (pre-meta) created before broadcasting by a broadcasting station or a broadcast site, and data (post-meta) uniquely created by a specific company or individual. The latter is, for example, data collected by curation (information organization by human hand), and is provided by several companies in Japan. The post-metadata is characterized by remaining after the broadcast and increasing in information over time.

  On the other hand, in recent recording devices, devices that support DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance: guidelines for interconnecting AV devices and PCs at home and sharing contents) have developed, and it is not possible to acquire a recording list. It has become easy. There are also many recording devices that store operation histories. The post-broadcast post-metadata and the recording device are compatible with each other in terms of searching for information later, and it is necessary to connect to the network to acquire the post-metadata. It becomes easy.

  As a conventional technique, a system for supporting viewing of content supports which program among a large number of stored contents is viewed using a user's viewing history and device operation information having the same attribute information. A system has been proposed (Patent Document 1).

(5) Reservation Recommended Program Information Acquisition Procedure Upon receiving the recording device reservation information 920 in step S114, the meta information distribution server 5 records the content of another program reserved by a person who has reserved the same program. The apparatus 1 searches for recommended programs that have not yet been recorded. As a method for determining a recommended program, for example, collaborative filtering can be used.

FIG. 12 is an explanatory diagram for determining a recommended program. As a method of determining a recommended program, there is a method of selecting a program selected by a plurality of users in common as shown in FIG. That is, since user A and user B have selected program 0001 and program 0003, when user C selects program 0001, program 0003 is determined as a recommended program.
In addition, there is a method in which each reserved terminal ID 9207 is regarded as the same user, but in this case, there are cases where a plurality of family members make a reservation for the content recording apparatus 1, and thus the personal preference may not be reflected so much. Since there are many cases where the wireless terminal 3 is privately owned, filtering by the reserved wireless terminal ID 8112 ′ reflects the personal preference more. Further, by adding attributes such as sex and age to the wireless terminal 3, more detailed recommendation is possible.
When the recommended program is determined, the meta information distribution server 5 creates the reserved recommended program information 1010 and transmits it to the content recording apparatus 1 (S115).

FIG. 13 shows a format of reserved recommended program information 1010. As shown in FIG. 13A, the recommended reservation program information 1010 includes an identification ID 10101, a program ID (program name) 10102, a broadcast station ID 10103, a broadcast start time 10104, and a recommendation degree 10105. The meta information distribution server 5 sets each data of the reserved recommended program information 1010 as follows. The identification ID 10101, the program ID (program name) 10102, the broadcast station ID 10103, and the broadcast start time 10104 are set with reference to the program information 810 according to the determined recommended program identification ID or program ID (program name), for example. For the recommendation degree 10105, for example, a parameter indicating the degree of recommendation is set, such as the number of people who have selected recommended programs using the method shown in FIG. 12 or the other methods described above. As shown in FIG. 13B, one or a plurality of reserved recommended program information 1010 can be collectively transmitted as information 10.
When the content recording apparatus 1 receives the reserved recommended program information 1010 (10), the content recording apparatus 1 transmits the information to the wireless terminal 5 (S116). The wireless terminal 5 creates a recommended program from the reserved recommended program information 1010 (10) and displays the list as a list.

FIG. 14 is a diagram showing an example of a list display of recommended programs.
The operator can stop the reservation or continue the reservation (S117). When the operator selects any program from this screen (S117), the process proceeds to step S105, and through steps S106 and S107, the program-related meta information is acquired, and the detailed information of the program is displayed in the same manner as before. (S108).
