Description

  The present invention relates to a broadcast receiving apparatus and a program for receiving and outputting a television broadcast.

In general, viewing TV broadcasts is broadly divided into viewing the broadcast contents in real time and recording and viewing later. However, if the program is important to the user or interested in the program, the program can be recorded. However, if real-time viewing is performed and the program is not enough to be recorded, it is often necessary to perform only real-time viewing. However, the program that I watched casually was unexpectedly interesting and I sometimes watch it until the end of the program. In such a case, I sometimes regret not recording it.
Therefore, conventionally, in a mobile terminal with a TV broadcast receiving function, a technique is known in which when a total viewing time exceeds a predetermined time, an instruction to start recording is given to a home recorder (STB). (See Patent Document 1).

(First embodiment)
Hereinafter, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
This embodiment exemplifies a case where the present invention is applied to a mobile phone device having a TV broadcast receiving function as a broadcast receiving device. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing basic components of the mobile phone device 1. .
This cellular phone device is, for example, a foldable one in which two casings (an operation unit casing and a display unit casing) are attached so as to be openable and closable. In addition to a Web access function, a TV broadcast reception function, a recording function, a playback function, and the like are provided.

  The CPU 1 is a core central processing unit that controls the overall operation of the mobile phone device in accordance with various programs in the storage unit 2. The storage unit 2 is an internal memory, and has a program area and a data area. In this program area, a program for realizing the present embodiment according to an operation procedure shown in FIGS. Stored. The recording medium 3 is a detachable portable memory, which is composed of, for example, an SD card, an IC card, etc., and is also used when supplying movie content or the like externally. The memory 4 is an internal memory having a work area, and various data in the memory 4 is saved in the storage unit 2 as necessary.

  The telephone communication unit 5 takes in a signal from the reception side of a transmission / reception unit (baseband unit) connected to an antenna constituting the radio unit, demodulates it to a reception baseband signal, and then receives a reception speaker via the acoustic control unit 6. 7 to output sound. Further, the telephone communication unit 5 takes in the voice data input from the transmission microphone 8 from the acoustic control unit 6, encodes it into a transmission baseband signal, and then gives it to the transmission side of the transmission / reception unit to output from the antenna. . On the other hand, movie content received and acquired via the telephone communication unit 5 by the Internet connection function or the like is given to the main display unit 10 via the display control unit 9 and displayed and output.

  The main display unit 10 is disposed on the surface side of the display unit casing, and is a liquid crystal display or an organic EL display capable of displaying a television image or the like with high quality. The sub display unit 11 is arranged on the back side (back side) of the display unit casing, and is a liquid crystal display or an organic EL display that displays the current date, message, icon, and the like. The key operation unit 12 performs dial input, character input, command input, and the like, and includes a TV start / end key for turning on / off the TV broadcast reception function, a recording start / end key, and the like. Processing corresponding to a key input signal from the key operation unit 12 is executed. The RTC (real time clock module) 13 constitutes a clock unit, and the CPU 1 acquires the current date and time from the RTC 13.

  The TV broadcast receiver 14 receives terrestrial digital TV broadcasts for mobile receivers such as mobile phones, and can receive electronic program guides (EPG) in addition to TV video and audio information. The TV broadcast receiving unit 14 is connected to a TV antenna, and receives a receiving unit (analog circuit unit) that extracts a broadcast signal. The received broadcast signal is demodulated by OFDM (orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) or multiplexed. It has a digital circuit section that separates video, audio, and data (character data) from a signal, decodes them, and decompresses compressed data. Television video data and character data are displayed and output from the main display unit 10, and television audio data is output from the sound speaker 15. When the recording reservation is set for an arbitrary channel or program, the CPU 1 refers to the reservation information to monitor whether the reservation start time and the reservation end time are reached, and the reservation start time is reached. At this time, the television broadcast receiver 14 is activated.

  When the TV broadcast receiving unit 14 is activated, the CPU 1 records and stores the received content of the reserved channel if the TV is activated by a recording reservation. However, if the TV is activated by a user operation, the CPU 1 is set at the end of the previous television. While temporarily receiving the received content of the channel (default channel), the received output status of the channel is monitored, and the temporarily recorded content is saved or discarded according to the received output status. Reception output status refers to whether the TV startup program has been continuously received and output to the end (whether it was viewed continuously until the end of the program), or the TV startup channel has been received and output for a predetermined time or longer. This temporary recording content is stored when the program has been viewed continuously until the end of the program or when it has been viewed continuously for a predetermined time or longer. . Note that the CPU 1 generates a recording file and stores it in the storage unit 2 or the external recording medium 3 when the recording content is stored.

Next, the operation concept of the cellular phone device in the first embodiment will be described 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. This is the same in other embodiments described later. In addition to the recording medium, the program / data supplied from the outside via the transmission medium can be used to execute operations specific to this embodiment.
2 and 3 are flowcharts showing an outline of the operation of the characteristic part of the present embodiment in the overall operation of the mobile phone device. When the flow of FIG. 2 and FIG. Returning to the operation flow (not shown).

FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 are flowcharts showing operations started to be executed when the TV is activated.
First, the CPU 1 activates the television broadcast receiving unit 14 in response to a television activation instruction, and at this time, determines whether the automatic activation is based on a recording reservation (step A1). That is, it is determined whether the TV activation is instructed by the operation of the TV start / end key or the TV activation is automatically instructed by the recording reservation.

  If it is automatic start by recording reservation, after specifying the reservation channel and starting the operation of recording the received content (step A2), it is determined whether the reservation end time set in the recording reservation information has been reached. The recording operation is continued until the reservation end time is reached (step A3). Now, when the reservation end time is reached, the reception of the television broadcast is terminated and the recording operation is terminated (step A4), and then a recording file is generated based on the recorded contents and stored in the storage unit 2 or the external recording medium 3. Save (step A5). Then, an instruction is given to display the icon (unique icon) of the recording file saved by the recording reservation in the standby screen (step A6), and the television is ended.

  If it is not automatically activated by recording reservation (NO in step A1), it is determined that the activation is performed by a user operation, the process proceeds to step A7, and the channel (default channel) set at the end of the previous television is designated. In addition, reception of the broadcast content of the designated channel is started, and this television image is displayed on the main display unit (television screen) 10 and the television sound is output from the sound speaker 15 (step A8). Then, referring to the electronic program guide, in addition to obtaining the end time of the current program being broadcast on the designated channel (step A9), starting provisional recording for recording the received content of the designated channel for the time being, Video is sequentially recorded in the work area of the memory 4 (step A10).

  After starting the reception output of the designated channel and its provisional recording in this way, the reception output status of the designated channel is monitored while starting the timer (step A11). That is, when no key operation is performed (NO in step A12), the timer time measured by the above-mentioned timer is longer than a predetermined time (for example, 20 minutes), that is, the designated channel is continued for a predetermined time or longer. It is checked whether it has been received and output (whether or not it has been viewed continuously for a predetermined time or more) (step A13). If the timer time is less than the predetermined time immediately after the TV is started, the process proceeds to step A14, where the current time has reached the end time of the program, that is, the program at the time of starting the TV is continued to the end. It is checked whether it has been received and output (whether it has been viewed continuously until the end of the program). If it is not the end time of the program, the process returns to step A11 described above to check for key operations.

  Here, when the timer time exceeds a predetermined time and the same channel is continuously viewed for a predetermined time (YES in step A13), or when the current time reaches the end time of the program and the same program is continuously viewed until the end. (Step A14: YES), the above timer operation is stopped (Step A15). Then, a “recording flag” is set to indicate that there is provisional recording (step A16), a recording mark is displayed on the television screen (step A17), and the process returns to the above-described step A11. Check for key operation.

  If any key operation is performed (YES in step A12), the flow proceeds to the flow of FIG. 3, and it is checked whether the operation is a channel switching operation (step A18) or an end operation instructing the end of television reception (step A19). If the operation is other than that (NO in step A19), for example, a volume adjustment process is executed as a process corresponding to the operation key (step A20). If a channel switching operation is performed during the broadcast of the program or after the end of the program (YES in step A18), the recording operation is terminated at this point (step A21), and the presence / absence of the “recording flag” is checked. Check (step A22).

  This “recording flag” is set according to the reception output status of the designated channel as described above. When the same channel is continuously viewed for a predetermined time or more, or when the same program is continuously viewed until the end thereof, Since the “recording flag” is set, a recording file is generated based on the provisional recording contents and stored in the storage unit 2 or the external recording medium 3 (step A23). Then, an auto-save message is displayed on the television screen to notify that there is a recorded file automatically saved according to the reception output status (step A24). If the “recording flag” is not set (NO in step A22), the provisional recording contents are discarded (erased) (step A26). Then, after switching and specifying a new channel (step A25), the process returns to step A8 in FIG. 2, and thereafter, the same operation is performed on the new channel.

  Further, when a TV end operation is performed during the program broadcast or after the program ends (YES in step A19 in FIG. 3), the reception of the TV broadcast is ended at the time and the recording operation is ended ( In step A27), the presence / absence of the “recording flag” is checked in the same manner as described above (step A28). As a result, if the “recording flag” is not set, the provisional recording contents are discarded (step A33), but if the “recording flag” is set, a characteristic part (specific scene) is extracted from the provisional recording contents. Then, a digest version is generated (step A29), and a digest recording file is generated and stored in the storage unit 2 or the external recording medium 3 (step A30).

  For example, in the case of a sports program, the feature portion (specific scene) is extracted as a specific scene centered on a large portion of encouragement, and subtitles are added in the case of a program such as a movie. A part (conversation part) is extracted as a specific scene. Then, an automatic save message for notifying that there is a recording file automatically saved depending on the reception output status is displayed on the television screen for a short time (for example, 2 seconds) (step A31) and automatically saved. After instructing to display the recorded file icon (unique icon) in the standby screen (step A32), the television is terminated.

  As described above, in this first embodiment, the CPU 1 activates the television broadcast receiving unit 14 to receive the television broadcast. If the channel reception has a recording instruction such as a recording reservation, the received content of this channel is displayed. Record and save as it is, and if it is a channel reception without a recording instruction, temporarily record the received content of this channel and save the temporary recording content based on the reception output status of that channel. Even if the broadcast content of a channel that you received and watched without instructing is highly likely to be re-viewed from the reception output status, it can be automatically saved and can be re-viewed freely at any time .

  The CPU 1 monitors whether or not the same program has been continuously viewed until the end thereof, as a reception output status, and when viewed to the end of the program, it can be determined that the possibility of re-viewing is high and can be re-viewed. Only highly probable programs can be automatically saved.

  Whether the same channel has been viewed continuously for a predetermined time or more is monitored as a reception output status, and if the same channel is continuously viewed for a predetermined time or more, it is determined that there is a high possibility of re-viewing. It is possible to automatically save only programs that are likely to be viewed again.

  If the received output status does not satisfy the predetermined condition (when the same program has not been continuously viewed until the end of the same program or when the same channel has not been continuously viewed for a predetermined time or longer), the temporary recording content By discarding, it is possible to avoid useless recording storage.

  In addition to displaying on the TV screen a message with auto-save indicating that a recording file automatically saved depending on the reception output status exists, by displaying the icon of the automatically saved recording file on the standby screen, The existence of the auto-save file can be known, and it can be immediately viewed again. In this case, by displaying the icon of the recording file saved by the recording reservation and the icon of the recording file automatically saved by the reception output status in an identifiable manner, it is possible to avoid the confusion between the two.

  By extracting a specific scene from the provisional recording contents and generating a digest version, and generating and saving a recording file of this digest version, it is possible to quickly watch only the characteristic part at the time of re-viewing, and to efficiently use the memory Can be used.

  In the first embodiment described above, the digest version is generated by extracting the specific scene from the provisional recording content. However, the feature portion (specific scene) is extracted from the reception content and recorded as the digest version at the time of provisional recording. You may do it.

  Further, in the first embodiment described above, the case where the recording reservation channel is set to the channel with the recording instruction is exemplified, but when the recording operation instructing the recording start is performed, the recording-instructed channel is changed. It may be a channel with a recording instruction.

  Further, in the first embodiment described above, when the same program is continuously viewed until the end thereof or when the same channel is continuously viewed for a predetermined time or more, it is determined that the possibility of re-viewing is high. However, it is not limited to the case where the same program is continuously watched until the end, and even if the channel is switched in the middle of the program, if it is watched until the end, it is determined that the possibility of re-viewing is high. Also good. In this case, the channel switching may be within the commercial broadcast time and the channel switching frequency may be less than a predetermined number. In addition to continuous viewing for a predetermined time or longer, for example, even if channel switching is performed on the way, the cumulative viewing time may be longer than the predetermined time. Even in this case, the channel switching may be within the commercial broadcast time, and the channel switching frequency may be less than a predetermined number of times.

(Second embodiment)
A second embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.
In the first embodiment described above, whether or not to save the provisional recording content is controlled based on the reception output status of the channel. However, in the second embodiment, the operation is intentionally performed by a user operation. In accordance with whether or not the selected channel is selected, whether or not to save the provisional recording content is controlled. In this example, the channel intentionally selected by the user means a channel whose channel number is directly selected by a numerical key operation or a channel selected as a viewing reservation.
Here, the same or the same names in both embodiments are denoted by the same reference numerals, the description thereof will be omitted, and the following description will focus on the features of the second embodiment. .

FIGS. 4 to 6 are flowcharts showing operations started to be executed when the television is activated in the second embodiment.
First, the CPU 1 activates the television broadcast receiver 14 in response to a television activation instruction, and at this time, determines whether or not the automatic activation is performed by reservation (step B1 in FIG. 4). That is, it is determined whether the TV activation is instructed by the operation of the TV start / end key or the TV activation is automatically instructed by the reservation. If it is the automatic activation by the reservation, the flow proceeds to FIG. It is checked whether it is a viewing reservation (step B2).

  If it is not the automatic start by the viewing reservation (NO in step B2), it is determined that the automatic start is by the recording reservation, and the process proceeds to step B3, and the operation of recording the received content by specifying the reserved channel is started ( Step B3), the recording operation is continued until the reservation end time is reached (step B4). Here, when the reservation end time is reached, the reception of the television broadcast is ended and the recording operation is ended (step B5), and then a recording file is generated based on this recording content and the storage unit 2 or the external recording medium 3 is set. (Step B6). Then, after instructing to display the icon (unique icon) of the recording file saved by the recording reservation in the standby screen (step B7), the television is ended.

  Also, if it is an automatic start by viewing reservation (YES in step B2), a reserved channel is designated and reception of the broadcast content of the designated channel is started, and this television image is displayed on the main display unit 10 to Sound is output from the sound speaker 15 (step B8). In this case, it is determined that the designated channel based on the viewing reservation is a channel intentionally selected by the user, temporary recording for recording the received content of the designated channel is started, and the work area of the memory 4 is sequentially added. Recording is performed (step B9). After that, a key operation waiting state is entered (step B10), and when any key operation is performed, it is checked whether the operation is an end operation for instructing the end of television reception (step B11) or a channel switching operation (step B12). If so (NO in step B12), the process proceeds to execution of a voice adjustment process or the like as a process corresponding to the operation key (step B13).

  If an end operation is performed at the end of the program of the reserved channel (YES in step B11), the reception of the television broadcast is terminated (step 14), and then the flow proceeds to FIG. If a channel switching operation is performed during or after the end of the program (YES in step B12), a “channel operation flag” indicating that the channel switching operation has been performed is set (step B15), and then FIG. Move on to the flow. First, after ending the recording operation (step B17), the CPU 1 displays an automatic recording presence message screen (step B18). FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a message screen with automatic recording. This message screen indicates that the received content of this time is recorded and whether or not to view the recorded content later in YES / NO format. A confirmation message for inquiring is displayed.

  In response to this message display, it is checked whether or not the “YES button” that instructs re-viewing has been operated (step B19). If the “NO button” is operated, the provisional recording content is discarded (step B19). B20) When the “YES button” is operated, as described above, a feature part (specific scene) is extracted from the provisional recording content to generate a digest version (step B21), and the digest version is recorded. A file is generated and stored in the storage unit 2 or the external recording medium 3 (step B22).

  Then, it is checked whether a channel switching operation or an ending operation is performed based on the presence / absence of the “channel operation flag” (step B23), and when the “channel operation flag” is set (channel When a switching operation is performed), after a new channel is designated for switching (step B24), the process proceeds to step B27 in FIG. 4 to start reception output of the new channel and enter a key operation waiting state (step S24). B28). In addition, when an end operation is performed (NO in step B23 in FIG. 6), an automatically recorded recording file is used to notify that there is a recording file automatically recorded by intentional channel selection. After the icon (unique icon) is displayed on the standby screen for a short time (for example, 2 seconds) (step B25), the television is terminated.

  On the other hand, if it is not the automatic activation by the reservation (NO in step B1 in FIG. 4), it is determined that the activation by the user operation, that is, the reception start is instructed by the operation of the TV start / end key, and step B26 Move to, and specify the channel (default channel) that was set at the end of the previous TV. Then, the reception of the broadcast content of the designated channel is started, and this television image is displayed on the television screen and the television sound is output from the sound speaker 15 (step B27), and then the key operation wait state is entered (step B28). ).

  In this key operation waiting state, if any key operation is performed, an operation for directly selecting a desired channel has been performed (step B29), and a channel feed operation for performing forward / reverse channel feed for each channel is performed. It is checked whether it has been performed (step B30) or an end operation for instructing the end of television reception has been performed (step B31). If it is any other operation (NO in step B31), a voice-corresponding process is performed. The process proceeds to execution of adjustment processing (step B32).

  The “channel direct selection operation” means a channel operation for directly selecting an arbitrary channel number with a numeric key or a channel operation for directly selecting an arbitrary channel from an electronic program guide. When this direct selection is performed (step The CPU 1 determines that the directly selected channel is a channel intentionally selected by the user, moves to step B34, designates the selected channel, and broadcasts the designated channel. The TV image is displayed on the main display unit 10 and the TV sound is output from the sound speaker 15. Then, provisional recording for recording the received contents of the designated channel is started for the time being, and recording is sequentially performed in the work area of the memory 4 (step B35), and a “recording flag” is set to indicate that there is provisional recording. After that (step B36), the key operation is waited (step B28).

  Further, instead of direct selection as described above, when channel switching is instructed by a channel feed operation (YES in step B30) or when an end operation is performed (YES in step B31), the selection is intentionally made. 6 is determined and the flow proceeds to the flow of FIG. 6. In this case, in the case of the channel sending operation, after the above-mentioned “channel operation flag” is set (step B33), the flow proceeds to the flow of FIG. .

  First, the presence / absence of the “recording flag” is checked (step B16). If the “recording flag” is not set, the process proceeds depending on the presence / absence of the “channel operation flag” (steps B23 to B25). If "Flag" is set (YES in Step B16), since the temporary recording is in progress, the recording operation is terminated (Step B17). Then, the message screen with automatic recording shown in FIG. 7 is displayed and an inquiry is made as to whether or not to view the recorded content later. When the “YES button” is operated in response thereto (YES in step B19), A feature portion (specific scene) is extracted from the provisional recording contents to generate a digest version (step B21), and a digest recording file is generated and stored in the storage unit 2 or the external recording medium 3 (step B22). ). Then, the process proceeds to execution of processing according to the presence / absence of the “channel operation flag” (steps B23 to B25).

  As described above, in this first embodiment, the CPU 1 activates the television broadcast receiving unit 14 to receive the television broadcast. If the channel reception has a recording instruction such as a recording reservation, the received content of this channel is displayed. If the channel is recorded and saved as it is, and the channel is received without a recording instruction and is intentionally selected, the received content of this channel is recorded, and the broadcast content of the channel that was received and watched without instructing recording is recorded. However, if the channel is a channel that is intentionally selected by a user operation, the automatic recording can be performed, and the viewing can be freely replayed at any time.

  The CPU 1 selects a channel selected by a channel operation for directly selecting an arbitrary channel number with a numeric key or a channel operation for directly selecting an arbitrary channel from an electronic program guide as a channel selected intentionally, and selects it by a channel feed operation. By making the selected channel not an intentional selection, it is possible to automatically record only the channel that is likely to be viewed again.

  Also, assuming that the channel selected as the viewing reservation is the channel selected intentionally, by recording the received content of this reserved channel, it is possible to automatically record only the channel that is likely to be viewed again. Become.

  In addition to displaying on the TV screen a message indicating that there is a recording file that automatically records the received content of the channel that was intentionally selected, the icon of the automatically recorded recording file is displayed in the standby screen. By displaying on the screen, it is possible to know the existence of the file, and it is possible to immediately view the file again. In this case, the misunderstood confusion is avoided by displaying the icon of the recording file saved by the recording reservation and the icon of the recording file automatically recorded according to the channel selected intentionally. Can do.

  Prior to saving the temporary recording contents, display the message screen with automatic recording, inquire whether or not to view the recording contents later, and save it if the "YES button" is operated in response to it. Thus, the user's intention can be taken into consideration.

  By extracting a specific scene from the provisional recording contents and generating a digest version, and generating and saving a recording file of this digest version, it is possible to quickly watch only the characteristic part at the time of re-viewing, and to efficiently use the memory Can be used.

  In the second embodiment described above, the digest version is generated by extracting the specific scene from the provisional recording content. However, at the time of provisional recording, the characteristic part (specific scene) is extracted from the received content and recorded as the digest version. You may do it.

  Further, in each of the embodiments described above, when the icon of the recording file saved by the recording reservation and the icon of the recording file automatically recorded are displayed so as to be identifiable, the specific example is not mentioned. What is necessary is just to identify and display by a shape, a color, blinking, a size, a pattern, etc.

  In addition, the present invention is not limited to a mobile phone device with a TV broadcast receiving function, and can be applied to a mobile terminal device such as a PDA, an electronic camera, an electronic watch, and a music player with a TV broadcast receiving function. Furthermore, it is not limited to a portable terminal device, and may be a stationary video device with a television broadcast reception function, a television receiver, or the like.
