[0002]
[Prior art]
The digital television broadcast receiver has a function of transmitting viewing history information to a management company via a modem in order to collect billing information. However, various information received by a digital television broadcast receiver such as audio information, video information, and program guide information cannot be transmitted to a predetermined terminal (telephone, PC) via a modem.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The present invention, it is possible to transmit audio information, video information, various information received by the digital television broadcast receiver as such program guide information, to a Jo Tokoro of the terminal (telephone, PC, etc.) An object is to provide a digital television broadcast receiver.
[0004]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
A first digital broadcast receiver according to the present invention is a setting means for causing a user to set first information for specifying a program to be transmitted to a terminal and second information for specifying a destination terminal. When the program specified by the first information set by the user starts broadcasting, the program is received, and the transmission destination terminal specified by the second information set by the user It is characterized by comprising transmitting means for transmitting audio information and / or video information obtained by receiving a program specified by one information via a communication line .
[0005]
Second digital broadcast receiver according to the present invention, a first information for specifying a program to be transmitted to the terminal, and a second information for specifying a destination of the terminal, setting means for setting a user and when the broadcast program specified by the first information set by the user is started, receives the program, the destination terminal specified by the second information set by the user, the audio information and / or video information obtained by receiving the program specified by the first information transmitted via the communication line, when該番set of broadcast is completed, stops該番sets of reception, the communication line It is characterized by having a transmission means for turning off the.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
[0007]
[1] Description of configuration of digital television broadcast receiver
FIG. 1 shows the configuration of a digital television broadcast receiver.
[0009]
The broadcast wave is sent to the tuner 2 via the antenna 1, and high frequency processing and demodulation are performed. The output from the tuner 2 is sent to the DEMUX circuit 3 where the packet is decoded.
[0010]
In the DEMUX circuit 3, the packet is classified into MPEG data and attached information such as program guide information. The MPEG data separated by the DEMUX circuit 3 is sent to the AV decoder 4. The attached information separated by the DEMUX circuit 3 is sent to the system controller 20.
[0011]
The system controller 20 stores the attached information and the like sent from the DEMUX circuit 3 in the nonvolatile memory 21. A remote controller signal from a remote controller transmitter 22 is input to the system controller 20 via a remote controller light receiver 23.
[0012]
The system controller 20 sends information for channel selection to the tuner 2 and the DEMUX circuit 3. Further, the system controller 20 sends an OSD control signal for on-screen display of a program guide screen, various setting screens, etc. to the OSD display circuit 24. The OSD display circuit 24 generates display data for various setting screens and sends the display data to the multiplexer (combining circuit) 6.
[0013]
The AV decoder 4 demodulates the MPEG data sent from the DEMUX circuit 3. The video signal obtained by the AV decoder 4 is sent to the multiplexer 6 via the video processing circuit 5. The multiplexer 6 superimposes the display data sent from the OSD display circuit 24 on the video data output from the video processing circuit 5 and sends it to the video output circuit 7. The video signal output from the video output circuit 7 is sent to the CRT 8.
[0014]
The audio signal obtained by the AV decoder 4 is sent to the speaker 11 via the audio processing circuit 9 and the audio output circuit 10.
[0015]
This digital television broadcast receiver has a function of sending audio information of a desired broadcast program to a desired terminal such as a telephone or a PC via a modem 30 and a telephone line 31. The operation when this function is used will be described.
[0016]
The user inputs a transmission destination and a program setting command using the remote control transmitter 22. When the system controller 20 receives this command via the remote control light receiver 23, it sets program information (channel number, broadcast start time, broadcast end time) related to the program to which the audio information destination and the audio information to be transmitted are provided A setting screen for this is displayed on the CRT 8 via the OSD display circuit 24, the multiplexer 6 and the video output circuit 7. On this setting screen, the user operates the remote control transmitter 22 to set a destination telephone number and program information.
[0017]
When the transmission of the set program is started in the state where the transmission destination and the program information are set, the broadcast is received and the telephone number set as the transmission destination is dialed. When the transmission destination and the line are connected, the audio information obtained by the audio processing circuit 9 is transmitted to the transmission destination via the modem 30 and the telephone line 31. When broadcast of the set program ends, reception of the program is stopped and the telephone line is turned off.
[0018]
According to this embodiment, even when the user goes to a remote place where there is no digital television broadcast receiver, the user can obtain the audio information of the desired program via the telephone line.
[0019]
In the above embodiment, audio information of a predetermined program is transmitted to a predetermined terminal via a modem and a telephone line, but the information to be transmitted is information that can be received by a digital television broadcast receiver and Information other than voice information may be used as long as it can be transmitted via a line. For example, the information to be transmitted includes video information of a predetermined program and program guide information acquired through the DEMUX circuit 3.
[0020]
【The invention's effect】
According to the present invention, various information received by a digital television broadcast receiver such as audio information, video information, program guide information, and the like can be transmitted to a predetermined terminal.
