  The above object, other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description of embodiments with reference to the drawings.

  With reference to FIG. 1, the mobile communication system of this embodiment is formed by a plurality of composite terminals 100. The program recording system is formed by a plurality of composite terminals 100, a communication line 200, and a TV program recording server 300. Furthermore, the terrestrial digital TV broadcasting system is formed by a plurality of composite terminals 100, a program recording server 300, and a broadcasting station 400.

  According to FIG. 2, the composite terminal 100 includes a mobile communication circuit 12 and a broadcast program receiving circuit 14. The communication circuit 12 performs communication using a mobile communication system, and the broadcast program receiving circuit 14 receives a terrestrial digital TV broadcast wave transmitted by the broadcast station 400.

  The mobile communication circuit 12 includes an antenna 16, a radio circuit 18, a signal processing circuit 20, an AD / DA converter 22, an amplifier 24, a speaker 26, an amplifier 28, and a microphone 30. The broadcast program receiving circuit 14 includes an antenna 42, a tuner 44, an OFDM demodulation circuit 46, a demultiplexer 48, an MPEG decoder 50, an audio processing circuit 52, an amplifier 54, a speaker 56, an NTSC encoder 58, a character generator 60, and a monitor 62. Have.

  The composite terminal 100 of this embodiment has a telephone function and a program viewing function. The telephone function is activated by a dial operation using the operation key 34, and the program viewing function is activated by a program viewing operation using the operation key 34.

  When a dial operation is performed by the operation key 34, the CPU 32 instructs the radio circuit 18 to perform call processing. When a connection with the other party is established by this call processing, a call becomes possible. When a call signal is received through the antenna 16, the radio circuit 18 notifies the CPU 32 of an incoming call. The CPU 32 instructs the voice processing circuit 52 to generate a ringing tone signal and also instructs the character generator 60 to generate a character signal representing the calling message. As a result, a ringing tone is output from the speaker 56 and a calling character is output from the monitor 62. When an incoming call operation is performed by the operation key 34 in response to the output of the ringing tone and the calling character, a connection with the other party is established and a call can be made. Thus, the telephone function is realized.

  When a program viewing operation is performed by operating the operation key 34 and a desired channel is selected, the CPU 32 activates the broadcast program receiving circuit 14 and instructs the tuner 44 to select a desired channel. The tuner 44 extracts a high-frequency signal of a desired channel from a high-frequency signal of terrestrial digital television broadcast captured by the antenna 42. The OFDM demodulation circuit 46 converts the extracted high-frequency signal into a TS (Transport Stream). The demultiplexer 48 extracts audio packets and video packets from the converted TS. The MPEG decoder 50 decodes the audio packet to generate audio data, decodes the video packet to generate video data, and supplies the audio data and video data to the audio processing circuit 52 and the NTSC encoder 58, respectively.

  The audio data is converted into an audio signal by the amplifier 54, and the converted audio signal is given to the speaker 56. As a result, the sound of the program content broadcast on the desired channel is output from the speaker 56. The video data is converted into a composite video signal by the NTSC encoder 58, and the converted composite video signal is output to the monitor 62. As a result, the video of the program content broadcast on the desired channel is displayed on the screen of the monitor 62. Thus, the program viewing function is realized.

  When a program reservation operation is performed using the operation key 34, the CPU 32 generates reservation information (channel, start time and end time) of the program content selected by the program reservation operation, and stores the generated reservation information in the flash memory 38. sign up. When the start time included in the reservation information matches the current time counted by the clock 40, the CPU 32 activates the program viewing function.

  When a call is in progress before the start of broadcasting of a desired viewing reservation program, the composite terminal 100 of this embodiment executes a recording reservation function. This recording reservation function will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 (A) to 3 (D). The time chart shown in FIG. 3A shows from one minute before the start to the end of the desired viewing reservation program. According to FIG. 3B, a period from 1 minute before the start to 10 seconds before the start is defined as “period A”, and a period after the 10 seconds before the start is defined as “period B”.

  According to FIG. 3C, when one minute before the start, the CPU 32 issues a notification to the effect that the notification alarm should be output to the vibrator 38, and according to this, the vibrator 38 executes vibration processing for notification alarm output for a predetermined period. . As a result, the person can know that the viewing reservation program is 1 minute before the start time.

  When the notification vibrates like the vibrator 38, it is difficult for the other party to notice that the start time of the reserved viewing program is one minute before. This avoids a situation in which the other party is uncomfortable.

  When the call is interrupted during the period A, the CPU 32 activates the program viewing function. Here, the term “blocking” refers to when the call is terminated by the person during the call or when the call is interrupted and terminated without receiving radio waves.

  According to FIG. 3D, similarly, when one minute before the start, the CPU 32 issues a notification that a notification alarm should be output to the vibrator 38, and the vibrator 38 performs vibration processing for notification alarm output for a predetermined period. Execute.

  However, if the shut-off operation is not performed before the start timing of period B, the CPU 32 performs communication using the program recording system, and the reservation information of the viewing reservation program is transmitted to the TV program recording server 300 via the communication line 200. give. The terrestrial digital TV broadcast wave transmitted from the broadcast station 400 is also received by the TV program recording server 300. The TV program recording server 300 records desired program content based on the reservation information given by the CPU 32. When the recording is started, the TV program recording server 300 gives a recording start notification to the CPU 32 via the communication line 200.

  In response to this, the CPU 32 issues a notification to the effect that an acceptance alarm should be output to the vibrator 38, and the vibrator 38 executes a vibration process for outputting an acceptance alarm for a predetermined period. Thereby, it can be confirmed during a call that the recording of the desired program content has been normally received by the TV program recording server 300.

  When the TV program recording server 300 completes the recording of the desired program content, the TV program recording server 300 gives a recording completion notification to the CPU 32 via the communication line 200. In response to this, the CPU 32 issues a notification to the effect that a recording completion alarm should be output to the vibrator 38, and the vibrator 38 executes vibration processing for recording completion alarm output for a predetermined period. Thus, the recording reservation function is realized. The program stored by the TV program recording server 300 is downloaded and played by, for example, a home PC (Personal Computer).

  The CPU 32 is a multitasking CPU equipped with a multitasking OS such as μITRON, executes the program reservation control task shown in FIG. 4 in relation to the program reservation process, and relates to the program viewing control process in FIG. And the program control task shown in FIG. 6 is executed.

  Referring to FIG. 4, in step S1, the process waits until a program reservation operation is performed. When the program reservation operation is performed, the program content reservation information is registered in the flash memory 38 in step S3.

  Referring to FIG. 5, in step S <b> 11, it is determined whether one minute before the start time included in the program information registered in flash memory 38 matches the current time counted by clock 40. If a determination result is YES, it will be discriminate | determined whether it is in a telephone call by step S13. If the determination result is YES, the process proceeds to step S15, and if the determination result is NO, the process proceeds to step S21.

In step S15, a notification that a notification alarm should be output is issued to the vibrator 38, and the vibrator 38 executes a vibration process for the notification alarm in response to the notification. When the vibration process is completed, in step S 1 7, it determines whether the call is blocked. If the determination result is YES, the process proceeds to step S21, and if the determination result is NO, the process proceeds to step S19.

  In step S21, a tuning command is issued to the tuner 44 to receive a desired channel. In step S23, the broadcast program receiving circuit 14 is notified that the program content adjusted according to the tuning command is to be output to the monitor 62. As a result, desired program content is displayed on the monitor 62.

  In step S 19, it is determined whether or not 10 seconds before the start time included in the program information registered in the flash memory 38 matches the current time counted by the clock 40. If the determination result is YES, the process proceeds to step S25, and if the determination result is NO, the process returns to step S17.

  In step S25, a recording request is issued to the TV program recording server 300. In step S27, the process waits until a recording start notification is given by the TV program recording server 300. When the recording start notification is given, a notification that the recording reception alarm should be output is issued to the vibrator 38 in step S29. In accordance with this, the vibrator 38 executes vibration processing for recording reception alarm output. In step S31, the process waits until a recording completion notification is given by the TV program recording server 300. When a recording completion notification is given, a notification that a recording completion alarm should be output is issued to the vibrator 38 in step S33. In accordance with this, the vibrator 38 executes vibration processing for recording completion alarm output. The recording request can be realized by using the following data, for example. As a general example, a program is shown, and data of a multi-digit numeric string created according to a certain rule, or data indicating a specific date, start time, end time and channel (including regional information) is used. This can be achieved. As a special example, a code handled by the server 300 is determined in advance, and can be realized by using the code between the TV program recording server 300 and the decoding terminal 100. That is, this recording request can be realized by using a code that can be recognized by both parties.

  As can be seen from the above description, the broadcast program is received by the broadcast program receiving circuit 14. In addition, a reservation for viewing a desired broadcast program is accepted by the operation key 34. The mobile communication circuit 12 connects to a desired call partner when a call connection operation is performed. A notification alarm output is generated by the CPU 32 when the connection of the mobile communication circuit 12 is in an established state one minute prior to the start time of the viewing reservation program received by the operation key 34. The CPU 32 determines whether or not the connection by the mobile communication circuit 12 is in the non-established state until 10 seconds before the start time of the viewing reserved program received by the operation key 34.

  If the determination result is affirmative, the CPU 32 requests the broadcast program receiving circuit 14 to receive the reserved viewing program accepted by the operation key 34, and the viewing received by the broadcast program receiving circuit 14 in connection with this request processing. The reserved program is output in real time. On the other hand, if the determination result is negative, the CPU 32 executes a recording process of the reserved viewing program accepted by the operation key 34.

  Therefore, if the telephone call is terminated when the notification alarm output is generated, the viewing reservation program receiving process and the real-time output process are executed. On the other hand, if the call is continued regardless of the occurrence of the notification alarm output, the recording process of the reserved viewing program is executed. As a result, it is possible to view the reserved program in a manner that takes into account the relationship between the call partner and the person.

  In this embodiment, the broadcast program receiving circuit 14 receives terrestrial digital television broadcasts, but is not limited to this, and can also receive analog broadcasts.

  In this embodiment, a desired scheduled recording program is recorded in the TV program recording server 300. However, the program is not limited to this, and can be stored in a recording area (not shown) built in the composite terminal 100. Yes, it is also possible to acquire a scheduled recording program stored in a recording area (not shown) included in the broadcasting station 400, and save it in a recording area (not shown) built in another composite terminal 100. It can also be stored on a home HD recorder (not shown), and can also be saved on a PC (not shown).

  Further, in this embodiment, the alarm output using the vibrator 38 is performed as a means for not making the other party aware of the call. However, the present invention is not limited to this, but by a display means for displaying characters on the monitor 62 or a light emitting alarm output by a diode (not shown). The person can be notified by the light emitting means.
