FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a state in which the mobile phone device 100 is attached to the cradle 200 and connected to the television receiving recorder 201 via the cradle 200.
The cradle 200 is charged to supply a charging current to a secondary battery (not shown) of the mobile phone device 100 when the mobile phone device 100 is mounted (mounted) while connected to an AC power source. In addition to the function, CPU, storage unit, etc., it has a mail reception function that can receive the recording start instruction information (instruction mail) transmitted and output from the remote mobile phone device 100 via the mobile communication network and the Internet. The intelligent cradle is configured to recognize the instruction content included in the specified instruction information and to execute processing according to the instruction content. The cradle 200 is cable-connected to the television reception recorder 201.

  In this case, when the mobile phone device 100 is attached and the instruction content from the mobile phone device 100 is a playback instruction, the cradle 200 requests the TV reception recorder 201 to transfer the recorded content in response thereto. In response to the transfer request, the recorded content transferred from the television receiving recorder 201 is transmitted to the mobile phone device 100. The television reception recorder 201 constitutes a broadcast recording device, for example, a hard disk / DVD recorder installed at home, and a television broadcast reception tuner capable of receiving high-quality and high-quality digital broadcasts (high-definition broadcasts).

The state can be changed from the state (reversed open style) to the state where the display unit side body is closed (view style). In the example shown in the drawing, the state is shown as “view style”.

FIG. 3 shows the contents of the instruction information table INT.
The instruction information table INT stores and stores the instruction information on the mobile phone device 100 side every time recording instruction information is transmitted from the mobile phone device 100 to the cradle 200. Each instruction record includes “terminal ID”. ”,“ Channel ”,“ Start Time ”,“ End Time ”,“ Program Name ”,“ Processed Flag ”, and“ Stop Time ”. “Terminal ID” is a terminal number (for example, a serial number) set in advance, and “Channel” indicates a recording target channel. “Start time” and “End time” indicate the start and end times of the program (recording), and “Program name” indicates the name of the program to be recorded.

 The “end time” and “program name” are information obtained by referring to the received and acquired electronic program guide, and the “processed flag” is the last TV program currently being received. It is a flag that is set when the user has continued to watch the video, or when the television receiver recorder 201 has already been requested to reproduce the recorded content via the cradle 200. The “stop time” indicates the stop time when the TV program currently being broadcast is stopped halfway.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the contents of the recorded program management table RET stored in the storage unit of the cradle 200.
The recorded program management table RET manages the correspondence between the “terminal ID” that identifies the mobile phone device 100 that is the recording instruction source and the “program ID” that indicates the storage location of the recorded file on the TV reception recorder 201 side. Thus, a plurality of “program IDs” can be stored corresponding to “terminal IDs”. In this case, every time recording instruction information is transmitted and output from the mobile phone device 100, the cradle 200 receives the instruction information and instructs the television receiver recorder 201 to record. The television reception recorder 201 newly generates a recording file in response to the recording instruction, and then starts an operation of recording the program broadcast on the corresponding channel in the file until the end time. At this time, the cradle 200 side obtains a “program ID” indicating the recorded file from the television receiver recorder 201 and additionally registers it in the recorded program management table RET in association with the corresponding “terminal ID”.

  Next, the operation concept of the mobile phone device 100 in this embodiment will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 5 to 8 and the operation of the cradle 200 with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. Here, each function described in these flowcharts is stored in the form of a readable program code, and operations according to the program code are sequentially executed. In addition, the operation according to the above-described program code transmitted via the transmission medium can be sequentially executed. In other words, in addition to the recording medium, an operation peculiar to this embodiment can be executed by using a program / data supplied externally via a transmission medium.

5 to 8 are flowcharts showing the overall operation of the mobile phone device 100 that is started to be executed when the power is turned on. Hereinafter, the operation on the cradle 200 side will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 9 and 10 while describing the operation of the mobile phone device 100.
First, in the cellular phone device 100, the CPU 1 activates the telephone communication unit 5 to perform a registration response of the current position, and enters a standby state of telephone / mail while reading out and displaying a predetermined standby image (see FIG. 5 step A1). In this state, when the presence of a call / mail arrival is detected (YES in step A2), an incoming call notification for generating and outputting an incoming melody is performed, and a call or incoming mail incoming process is executed (step A3).

 Further, in this standby state, when any operation is performed on the key operation unit 12 (YES in step A4), the CPU 1 checks whether the TV ON key for instructing the output of the television broadcast has been operated (step A5). If the operation is other than that (NO in step A5), for example, a call transmission, mail creation processing, etc. are performed as the processing corresponding to the operation (step A13), but if the operation is a TV ON key (step A5). The process proceeds to step A6, where the television broadcast receiving tuner 13 is operated to receive and acquire the electronic program guide. If an electronic program guide including the current date has already been acquired, this step A6 is skipped. Here, when a channel selection operation is performed (step A7), the end time of the program currently being broadcast on the selected channel is acquired with reference to the electronic program guide (step A8).

 Then, an output instruction to output the contents of the program currently being broadcast on the selected channel is performed to output video data of the program from the main display unit 10 and audio data from the built-in speaker 14 (step A9). In this way, when any operation is performed on the key operation unit 12 while watching an arbitrary TV broadcast program (YES in step A10), it is checked whether the operation is a channel change instruction operation (step A11). If it is this change instruction operation, after performing the channel change process (step A12), the broadcast program of the channel after the change is received and output (step A9).

 If an operation other than the channel change instruction is performed during TV viewing (NO in step A11), the flow proceeds to the flow of FIG. 6 to check whether the recording instruction operation is an instruction to start recording (step A15). If it is a recording instruction operation, the recording instruction information (instruction mail) including the current “channel”, “program name” and its “end time” is generated together with its “terminal ID” and “recording start time”. Then, this recording instruction mail is transmitted to the home cradle 200 via the mobile communication network and the Internet (step A16). Then, after newly generating an instruction record based on the recording instruction information and additionally registering it in the instruction information table INT (step A17), the process returns to step A10 in FIG. The “end time” is the information acquired from the electronic program guide in step A8, the “start time” is the current time acquired from the RTC 15, and the “program name” is acquired from the electronic program guide. Information.

 Here, on the cradle 200 side, as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 9, it is monitored whether or not the mobile phone device 100 is attached (connected) (step B1), or the mobile phone device 100 is connected via a mobile communication network or the Internet. The presence or absence of instruction information (instruction mail) to be transmitted is monitored (step B2), and if there is an instruction mail, the process proceeds to the flow of FIG. 10 to determine whether it is a recording start instruction or a recording end instruction (step B3). If it is recording start instruction information, “channel”, “end time” and “terminal ID” included therein are received and acquired (step B4), and “channel” and “end time” are received from the television reception recorder 201. To start recording (step B5). In this case, the television reception recorder 201 side newly generates a recording file in response to the recording instruction, and then starts an operation of recording the program broadcast on the corresponding channel in the file until the end time. As a result, the cradle 200 side acquires the “program ID” indicating the recording file from the television receiver recorder 201 and additionally registers it in the recorded program management table RET in association with the corresponding “terminal ID” (step B6).

 On the mobile phone device 100 side, after instructing the recording start of the program while viewing the TV, if the user instructs to stop the recording (YES in step A18 in FIG. 6), the currently viewed “ Recording end instruction information (instruction mail) including “channel” and its own “terminal ID” is generated, and this recording end instruction mail is transmitted to the home cradle 200 via the mobile communication network and the Internet (step A19). ). Then, after deleting the corresponding record for which the recording is to be canceled from the instruction information table INT (step A20), the process returns to step A10 in FIG.

 On the cradle 200 side, if the instruction information (instruction mail) from the mobile phone device 100 is the recording end instruction information (NO in step B3 in FIG. 10), the “channel” and “terminal ID” included therein are received. Obtain (step B7), transmit "channel" to the television receiver 201 and instruct the end of recording (step B8). In this case, the television reception recorder 201 side ends the recording operation of the channel in response to the end instruction.

 On the mobile phone device 100 side, when the TV OFF key for instructing the end of viewing is operated while viewing the television (YES in step A21 in FIG. 6), the instruction information table INT is referred to and the current broadcast program is displayed. It is checked whether recording has been instructed, that is, whether there is corresponding recording instruction information (instruction record) (step A22). Here, if the corresponding record exists and the recording instruction has been given, that is, the recording is continued as it is, but when the TV viewing ends, the current time is acquired as the “stop time” and the corresponding item of the corresponding record After setting (step A23), it returns to the standby state (step A1 in FIG. 5).

 On the other hand, if nothing is operated during TV viewing (NO in step A10 in FIG. 5), the flow proceeds to the flow in FIG. 7, and the same program content is continued for a predetermined time by referring to the current time and the program start time. It is checked whether or not one minute has elapsed since the program content of the same channel was started (step A24). Here, when one minute has passed, since the probability of continuous viewing is high after that, the process proceeds to step A25, where the instruction information table INT is referred to determine whether recording of the currently viewed program has been instructed. On the condition that the program has not been instructed, a confirmation message for inquiring whether or not to record the program is displayed (step A26).

 This confirmation message screen has menu items “record” and “do not record”, and when any of these items is selected and designated (step A27), the CPU 1 determines the selection contents of the necessity of recording. (Step A28), when “not record” is selected, the process returns to step A10 in FIG. 5, but when “record” is selected, the process proceeds to step A16 in FIG. 6 to generate recording instruction information. It is transmitted to the cradle 200 at home or additionally registered in the instruction information table INT (step A17).

 Further, when it is detected that there is an incoming call interruption during TV viewing (YES in step A29 in FIG. 7), after receiving an incoming call notification (step A30), the presence / absence of an incoming call response operation (off-hook operation) is checked (step S30). A31) When there is no response operation, the process returns to step A10 of FIG. 5, but when there is a response operation, it is set in a state where communication with the communication partner is possible (step A32). Then, after the television reception output is interrupted (step A33), the instruction information table INT is referred to and it is checked whether the recording of the currently viewed program has been instructed (step A34). In this case, if the recording instruction has been completed, after waiting for line disconnection (call termination) (step A35), the process returns to step A9 in FIG. 5 to resume the interrupted television reception output, but the recording instruction must be performed. If this is the case (NO in step A34), the recording instruction information is generated and transmitted to the home cradle 200 (step A36), and additionally registered in the instruction information table INT (step A37). Then, after waiting for line disconnection (step A38), the process returns to step A9 in FIG. 5 in order to resume the interrupted television reception output.

 Further, when the current time coincides with the end time of the program during TV viewing (YES in step A39 in FIG. 7), in other words, when viewing to the end of the program, refer to the instruction information table INT. Then, it is checked whether there is recording instruction information for this program (whether recording instruction has been completed) (step A40). If there is a recording instruction, the corresponding instruction is used to indicate that the program has been continuously watched until the end of the program. After setting the “processed flag” in the information (step A41), the process returns to step A10 in FIG.

 On the other hand, in the standby state, it is determined whether or not the apparatus main body is connected to the cradle 200 based on the charge detection signal from the charging connection unit 16 (step A14 in FIG. 5). 8 is detected, it is checked whether at least one recording instruction information is registered in the instruction information table INT (step A42). If it is registered, a “processed flag” is set in it. It is checked whether it is set (whether it is unprocessed instruction information) (step A43). Here, if there is no recording instruction information (NO in step A42), or if it is registered and the “processed flag” is set (NO in step A43), it returns to the standby state (step of FIG. 5). A1) When there is instruction information and the “processed flag” is reset, that is, when there is unprocessed instruction information (YES in step A43), the reproduction is controlled below. Move on to processing.

 First, when the apparatus main body is mounted (connected) to the cradle 200, the style of the apparatus main body is determined based on detection signals from the style detection sensors 17 and 18, and is mounted on the cradle 200 in the “view style” state. (Step A44). Here, if it is a style other than “view style” (NO in step A44), one unprocessed instruction information is selected from the instruction information table INT in order to reproduce and output the recorded content on the TV viewing apparatus 202 side. (Step A55), a reproduction request including the “program name” and “terminal ID” is transmitted to the cradle 200 (Step A56), and a “processed flag” is set in the instruction information (Step A57). ). And it returns to the above-mentioned standby state (step A1 of FIG. 5).

 When the connection of the mobile phone device 100 is detected on the cradle 200 side (YES in step B1 in FIG. 9), the charging operation is started (step B9), and then the presence or absence of a request from the mobile phone device 100 is checked (step B10). If there is no request, the process proceeds to step B13 to check whether the connection of the mobile phone device 100 is released. If it is connected, the process returns to step B10. The mobile phone device 100 is on standby until a request is received. If any request is received from the mobile phone device 100 (YES in step B10), it is checked whether it is a reproduction request (step B11).

 Now, since it is a case where a reproduction request is received, the process proceeds to step B12, where the “program ID” corresponding to the “terminal ID” is specified with reference to the recorded program management table RET, and the recorded file indicated by this “program ID” is identified. Reproduction output is instructed to the television reception recorder 201. In this case, the television reception recorder 201 starts reproduction of the recording file of “program ID” and causes the TV viewing device 202 to display and output the video data. Then, it is checked whether or not the connection of the mobile phone device 100 is released (step B13). When the connection of the mobile phone device 100 is released, the process returns to step B1. The presence or absence of another request is checked (step B10).

 On the other hand, when the mobile phone device 100 is attached to the cradle 200 in the “view style” state (YES in step A44 in FIG. 8), all the unprocessed instruction information is specified from the instruction information table INT, and the “program name” is specified. "Is displayed in a list (step A45). When a program to be reproduced is arbitrarily selected from the program name list screen (step A46), the instruction information corresponding to the selected program is referred to, and it is checked whether "stop time" is set (step S46). A47). Here, if the “stop time” is not set, a transfer request including the “selected program” selected in step A46 and the “terminal ID” read from the instruction information corresponding to the selected program is created. Is transmitted to the cradle 200 (step A50), but if the "stop time" is set, that is, if the program that was being watched while being recorded is ended in the middle, the process proceeds to a process for calculating the jump time. (Step A48).

 That is, “stop time” and “start time” are read from the corresponding instruction information, and a value obtained by subtracting “start time” from this “stop time” is obtained as the jump time. This jump time indicates the reproduction start timing for reproducing the recorded content from the middle thereof, and the time when the content corresponding to the jump time is skipped from the recording start time is set as the reproduction start timing. For example, as shown in FIG. 11, if the “start time” is “12:00” and the “stop time” is “12:15”, the jump time is “15 minutes”, and the start position of the recording file is The playback start position is when “15 minutes” have elapsed. Then, the CPU 1 creates a transfer request including the “jump time”, the “selected program” selected in the above-described step A46, and the “terminal ID” read from the instruction information corresponding to the selected program to create a cradle. 200 (step A49).

 Here, when the mobile phone device 100 is connected to the cradle 200 and a transfer request is received from the mobile phone device 100 (NO in step B11 in FIG. 9), the “jump time” is included in the transfer request. It is checked whether it is included (step B14), and if “jump time” is included, that is, the program that was being watched while being recorded is terminated in the middle, the process proceeds to step B15, and the recorded program A “program ID” corresponding to “terminal ID” is identified with reference to the management table RET, and a transfer request for the recording file indicated by this “program ID” is made to the television reception recorder 201. In this case, “jump” Requests the transfer of the recorded content that has passed "time". Here, in response to this transfer request, the television receiver recorder 201 transmits the recording contents after the position corresponding to the “jump time” from the top of the recording file to the cradle 200.

 If “jump time” is not included in the transfer request (NO in step B14), the “program ID” corresponding to the “terminal ID” is identified with reference to the recorded program management table RET, and the “program” A request to transfer the recording file indicated by “ID” is made to the television receiving recorder 201 (step B17). In this case, the television receiver recorder 201 transmits the recorded file contents to the cradle 200 in response to the transfer request. Then, on the cradle 200 side, the recording content transmitted from the television reception recorder 201 side is transferred as it is to the requesting mobile phone device 100 (step B16).

 On the mobile phone device 100 side, after transmitting the transfer request as described above, when the recording content is downloaded and received from the television receiver recorder 201 via the cradle 200 (step A51 in FIG. 8), the correspondence in the instruction information table INT is received. The “processed flag” is set in the instruction information (step A52). Then, it is checked whether or not the start of playback is instructed by a user operation (step A53). When the start of playback is instructed, playback of the recorded content is started in response to this, and the video data is output from the main display unit 10. At the same time, audio data is output from the built-in speaker 14 (step A54). Note that after the reproduction is completed, the above standby state is restored (step A1 in FIG. 5).

  As described above, in this embodiment, when the mobile phone device 100 instructs the television reception recorder 201 to record the broadcast content, the instruction information is stored in the instruction information table INT on the mobile phone device 100 side. In addition, only by mounting the mobile phone device 100 on the cradle 200, the mobile phone device 100 itself requests and reproduces the transfer of the corresponding recording contents based on the instruction information, and also displays the instruction information. Since it has been processed (reproduced), reproduction of the recorded content can be controlled under the initiative of the mobile phone device 100, and operability and certainty can be improved. In this case, even if a mobile phone device that has not instructed recording is connected to the cradle 200, the recorded content is not transferred, and the reproduced recorded content is not transferred unnecessarily.

  In this case, the recording output of the recording instruction information is received and interrupted during the reception and output of the television broadcast when the same program is continuously viewed for one minute in addition to the case where the recording of the television broadcast is instructed by the user operation. The recording instruction information can be transmitted and output at an appropriate timing. The recording instruction information is information including “channel ID” and “program name” to be recorded, as well as its own “terminal ID”, and clearly indicates the instruction source from which mobile phone device 100 is the instruction. can do.

 When the transfer request of the recorded content is made to the television receiving recorder 201, the instruction information table INT is referred to and unprocessed instruction information in which the “processed flag” in the instruction information corresponding to the recorded content is reset Since the transfer request is made on the condition that it is, it is possible to exclude the transfer of the recorded content that has been reproduced or viewed, and to prevent duplicate reproduction and viewing. In this case, after displaying and outputting a confirmation message inquiring whether to play back the unprocessed recording content, the transfer of the recording content is requested on condition that the unprocessed recording content is arbitrarily selected. Therefore, it is possible to reflect the user's intention.

  After transmitting and outputting recording instruction information for instructing recording of a program that is currently being broadcast, when the recording stop is instructed by a user operation during broadcasting of this program, the end of the recording is instructed to the television receiving recorder 201 So, you can stop recording at any time along the way. In addition, after transmitting and outputting recording instruction information for instructing recording of a currently broadcast program, if the end of reception is instructed during the broadcast of this program, recording after the end instruction (after the jump time) Since transfer of contents is requested, it is possible to reproduce unviewed content.

  When viewing the contents of the same broadcast program to the end by referring to the broadcast program table, the “processed flag” is set in the recording instruction information corresponding to the recorded content, so that the end of the view is viewed. This program can be made a program that does not need to be reproduced. In addition, when instructing to record the contents of a program that is currently being broadcast, the end time of the program acquired from the broadcast program table is added to the recording instruction information and transmitted, so that the TV receiver recorder 201 starts recording. / End can be controlled on the mobile phone device 100 side.

  When it is detected that the apparatus is connected to the television reception recorder 201, it is determined whether or not the apparatus body is set to “view style”. If it is this “view style”, it is transferred from the television reception recorder 201. The recorded contents are reproduced and output, and if the style is other than that, the television receiver 201 is requested to reproduce the recorded contents. It is possible to easily switch the reproduction on the side.

  In the embodiment described above, recording instruction information (instruction mail) including “terminal ID”, “recording start time”, “channel”, “program name”, and “program end time” is generated and stored in the cradle 200. However, the contents of the recording instruction information are not limited to this, and may be arbitrary. For example, only the “channel” currently being viewed may be used. Further, only the “program name” currently being viewed or the “program name” reserved for recording may be used. In this case, the cradle 200 side may specify the recording target from the “program name” in the recording instruction information with reference to the received and acquired electronic program guide.

  On the cradle 200 side, if a recording instruction for the same program is received from a plurality of mobile phone devices 100, even if a recording end instruction is received from any of the mobile phone devices 100 during the recording, the recording ends May not be instructed to the television receiver recorder 201. In this case, when a recording end instruction is received from all the mobile phone devices 100 that have instructed recording, the television reception recorder 201 may be instructed to end recording in response to the final instruction.

  Although not particularly mentioned in the above-described embodiment, the high-definition high-definition broadcast is received on the television reception recorder 201 side, but this high-quality video data is used for a mobile phone corresponding to the screen of the mobile phone device. The data conversion may be performed on the cradle 200 side when converting to the above data. That is, the cradle 200 may convert the recorded content (high-quality data) transmitted from the television reception recorder 201 into data for a mobile phone and transfer it to the mobile phone device 100. In addition, when the reception output of the current broadcast program is interrupted in response to an incoming call interruption and the recording of the program is started, only the recorded contents during the interruption period may be reproduced and output.

In the embodiment described above, the “processed flag” is provided as the record item of the instruction information table INT. However, instead of setting the “processed flag”, the instruction information itself is deleted from the instruction information table INT. Also good.
In the embodiment described above, the operation on the cradle 200 side shown in FIGS. 9 and 10 may be performed on the television reception recorder 201 side. That is, although the above-described embodiment shows the television reception recorder 201 with the cradle 200, the functions on the cradle 200 side shown in FIGS. 9 and 10 may be incorporated in the television reception recorder 201 side.
