[Algorithm for generating the scheduled viewing content display screen]
Next, an algorithm for generating a viewing-and-listening content display screen will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining an algorithm for generating a viewing-scheduled content display screen. As will be described later, the following algorithms are as follows: (a) when specific content priority is registered, (b) when specific content priority is changed, and (c) viewable time setting is changed. And (d) when a recording reservation is made, (e) when content recording ends, (f) when the date changes, and so on.

First, the time that can be viewed on one day is set to _Ti time (for example, 2 hours) with respect to the i-th day. FIG. 5A shows an example of the viewable time when T _i = 2 hours. The vertical axis shown in the figure indicates the recording time (H), and the horizontal axis indicates the day of the week.

  First, priorities are assigned to TV broadcast content and VOD content, respectively. For example, the priority may be set by the user at the time of recording reservation in the case of TV broadcast content, or at the time of viewing reservation in the case of VOD content, or may be automatically set from the user's preference.

Next, a certain period during which the content is viewed is W days (for example, 7 days). FIG. 5A shows an example of the viewable time when W = 7 days. In addition, the total of time that can be viewed on the W day is described as SUM (T _i , i = 1 to W) below.

(1) in order of priority, does not exceed the T _i time range, and recording date (in the case of VOD content is content delivery start date) continue to set the viewing order of the viewing schedule content so as not to before. At this time, if the priority is the same, in the case of TV broadcast recording content, the content that is scheduled to be recorded first is given priority, and in the case of VOD content, the delivery start date / time is given priority. .

(2) When processing (1) is completed for one priority,
(A) Content time set in (1) <SUM (T _i , i = 1 to W), and if there is a margin, the above ( The process of 1) is performed again.
(B) Content time set in the above (1)> = SUM (T _i , i = 1 to W), and if there is no room, the overflowed content is a TV broadcast recording content, for example, an existing content digest In order to fit within the SUM (T _i , i = 1 to W) time using the conversion technology, the viewing content scheduled to be digested is filled in the vacant time. In the case of VOD content, SUM (T _i , i = 1 to W), for example, is set to be reproduced only for the first few minutes, or when the viewing time for each chapter can be acquired, only the first chapter is set to be reproduced. Make sure that it fits in time, and fill up the viewing content in the free time. The process ends when all the arrangements are completed (viewing order of all contents is determined).

  FIG. 5B is a diagram showing a recording state of TV broadcast recording content. In the figure, the vertical axis indicates the recording time (H), and the horizontal axis indicates the day of the week. As shown in the figure, the total recording time on Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday is 7 hours, 2 hours, 3 hours, 1 hour, 2 hours and 1 hour, respectively. Also, the contents corresponding to each recording time are given three levels of priority, high, medium and low. The total recording time of each content per week is 16 hours, which exceeds the viewable time of 14 hours shown in FIG.

  Next, (c) of FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a flow of processing for scheduling a viewing schedule of TV broadcast recorded content based on the recording situation shown in (b) of FIG.

  In Step 1, a program with a priority “high” is arranged from the recorded programs. At this time, on the Nth day, scheduling is performed so as to watch the program recorded on the N-1th day. In addition, although this embodiment demonstrated the form which watches the program recorded on the N-1 day on the N day, it is not restricted to such a form, and the program recorded on the morning of a certain day is viewed on the afternoon of the day. Such a form may be adopted.

  Next, in Step 2, a program having a medium priority from the recorded program is arranged. Specifically, it fills in the vacant time in Step1. At this time, the one to be recorded first is presented with priority.

  Next, in Step 3, a program with a priority “low” is arranged from the recorded programs. The total time of the program to be arranged is 3 hours, which exceeds the remaining viewable time of 1 hour (Saturday). Therefore, each of these three programs is digested (shortened), and the three programs are compressed to fit in the remaining viewable time of 1 hour, and the time free in Step 2 (the remaining 1 hour on Saturday) Fill.

[Summary of operation of digital broadcast receiver 10]
In the form shown above, the optimum content to be viewed on the day is determined based on the length of time of the content, the priority given to the content, and the scheduled recording reservation for a certain period with respect to the viewable time per day. Provide the algorithm to be presented. At this time, if the time runs out, the TV broadcast recording content is digested or the VOD content chapter is partially incorporated, and the content is presented within the viewable time. As a result, even a user with a limited viewing time per day can view the TV broadcast recorded content and VOD content recorded within a certain period without missing it.

  More specifically, in the digital broadcast receiver 10, the viewing order determination unit 24 sets the priority set for each of a plurality of contents (TV broadcast recording contents or VOD contents), and the set viewable time. Based on the above, the viewing order of the contents within the viewable time is determined. Further, the display control unit 25 displays the determined viewing order.

For this reason, the optimal viewing order can be determined within the viewable time. Moreover, according to the said structure, each viewing order of the content in the determined viewable time is displayed. Therefore, it is possible to present content to be viewed in an optimal viewing order within the viewable time.

  Further, the viewing order determination unit 24 determines the viewing order of the contents within the viewable time based on the time when each of the plurality of contents can be viewed. Thereby, in addition to the priority set with respect to each content, the optimal viewing order is determined according to the time when each content can be viewed.

  Furthermore, the viewing order determination unit 24 increases the viewing order as the priority of the content is higher, and increases the viewing order as the time when the content can be viewed is earlier. Thereby, in addition to the priority set with respect to each content, the optimal viewing order is determined according to the time when each content can be viewed.

  The determination unit 29 determines whether the total length of each of the plurality of contents exceeds the viewable time. Next, when it is determined that the total length exceeds the viewable time, the shortening processing unit 28 performs a process of shortening the length of at least one content that does not fall within the viewable time. Do. As a result, the length of at least one content that does not fit within the viewable time is shortened. For this reason, even when the total length of each of the plurality of contents exceeds the viewable time, it is possible to view all of the content within the viewable time.
