  FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing an example of automatic recording processing in the mobile phone configured as described above. In this example, the user operates to activate the TV function of the mobile phone 20 (S1). For example, the television function is selected from a menu displayed on the screen of the mobile phone 20, or the appearance of the mobile phone 20 is changed to a predetermined form preset to activate the television function. By this operation, the main control unit 215 of the mobile phone 20 starts a predetermined television broadcast reception program (S2), and starts an automatic recording process for saving the broadcast content received by the tuner unit 217 (S3). In this automatic recording process, for example, a recording file is newly created in a predetermined recording storage area of the storage unit 218 at the start of the automatic recording process, and the television broadcast content (image and image) of a predetermined channel set by user selection or the like is set. Audio) is continuously stored in the recording file. Thus, when a television function involving reception and output of a television broadcast is started, an automatic recording process for saving the content of the television broadcast in a predetermined recording storage area of the storage unit 218 is started. Thereafter, when the user operates to stop the TV function of the mobile phone 20 (S4), the main control unit 215 ends the automatic recording process (S5) and ends the TV broadcast receiving program. The TV function is stopped (S6). At the end of the automatic recording process, a process for closing the recording file storing the contents of the television broadcast is executed.

  In the automatic recording process of FIG. 4, the TV broadcast receiving program is ended after the automatic recording process is ended. However, the automatic recording process is controlled to end when the TV broadcast receiving program is ended. Also good.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing another example of automatic recording processing in the mobile phone 20. The processing from S1 to S3 in this example is common to the case of FIG. In this example, the main control unit 215 of the mobile phone 20 counts the elapsed time from the start of the automatic recording process by a timer function based on the output from the built-in clock unit, and sets a predetermined set time set in advance. It is determined whether (for example, 2 hours, 1 hour, or 30 minutes) has elapsed (S4). When determining that the predetermined set time has elapsed, the main control unit 215 ends the automatic recording process (S5). Thereby, it is possible to manage so that the recording time recorded by the automatic recording process is within a predetermined time. The set time can be changed from the menu screen of a predetermined television function by the user operating the operation unit 213.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing still another example of the automatic recording process in the mobile phone 20. The processing from S1 to S3 in this example is common to the case of FIG. In this example, the main control unit 215 of the mobile phone 20 monitors a recording storage capacity that is a cumulative storage capacity of the storage unit 218 used for recording by the automatic recording process, and the recording storage capacity is set to a predetermined value set in advance. It is determined whether or not a set capacity (for example, a capacity smaller by a predetermined margin than the capacity of the recording storage area) has been reached (S4). When determining that the recording storage capacity has reached a predetermined set capacity, the main control unit 215 ends the automatic recording process (S5). As a result, the recording storage capacity used for recording in the automatic recording process can be managed so as to be within a predetermined capacity set in the storage unit 218 (for example, the capacity of the recording storage area). The set capacity can be changed from the menu screen of a predetermined television function by the user operating the operation unit 213.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing still another example of the automatic recording process in the mobile phone 20. The processing from S1 to S4 in this example is common to the case of FIG. In this example, when the main control unit 215 of the mobile phone 20 determines that the recording storage capacity has reached a predetermined setting capacity, the old recording data portion is deleted by a predetermined data amount without ending the automatic recording process. (S5) and the automatic recording process is continued. As a result, the recording storage capacity used for recording in the automatic recording process is managed so as to be within a predetermined capacity set in the storage unit 218 (for example, the capacity of the recording storage area), and the automatic recording process is performed. The recording process can be continued without stopping.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing still another example of the automatic recording process in the mobile phone 20. Since the processes of S1 and S2 in this example are the same as those in FIG. In this example, the mobile phone 20 is configured to be detachable from a memory card as an external storage medium in addition to the built-in memory. When the main control unit 215 of the mobile phone 20 starts a predetermined television broadcast reception program, the main control unit 215 determines whether the storage destination of the recorded data of the broadcast content received by the tuner unit 217 is the internal memory or the memory card. (S3). Here, when the storage destination of the recording data is the built-in memory, the automatic recording processing is started so that the recording data of the broadcast content received by the tuner unit 217 is stored in a predetermined storage area in the built-in memory (S4). . On the other hand, when the storage destination of the recording data is a memory card, the automatic recording processing is started so as to store the recording data of the broadcast content received by the tuner unit 217 in a predetermined storage area in the memory card (S5).

  Note that the storage destination can be changed from the menu screen of a predetermined television function by the user operating the operation unit 213. The storage location may be selected by the user when the TV broadcast receiving program is started. The external storage medium that can be attached to and detached from the mobile phone 20 may be a storage medium other than the memory card.

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing still another example of automatic recording processing in the mobile phone 20. The processing of S1 to S3 in this example is common to the case of FIG. In this example, after starting the automatic recording process, the main control unit 215 of the mobile phone 20 monitors a program break for a television broadcast of a predetermined channel to be recorded and determines a program start point (S4). . For example, when a baseball program is broadcast after a news program, the start point of the latter baseball program is determined. If the main control unit 215 determines that it is the start point of the program, it adds program start point information (for example, a predetermined time stamp) to the recorded data (S5), and continues the automatic recording process. As a result, the program start point information is added to the recorded data saved by the automatic recording process for each program break, and the recorded data can be managed in units of programs.

  Further, the main control unit 215 monitors whether or not the user has started an operation of starting the manual recording process during the execution of the automatic recording process (S6). Here, when an operation for instructing the start of the manual recording process is performed by the operation unit 213 during the automatic recording of a broadcast of a certain program (for example, the baseball broadcast), the automatic recording process is ended. The manual recording process instructed by the user is started (S7). In this manual recording process, the recording data is stored in a manual recording file different from the automatic recording file in which the recording data of the broadcast content is stored in the automatic recording process. Thereafter, when the user finishes broadcasting the program and the user performs an operation to end the manual recording process (S8), the main control unit 215 ends the manual recording process and executes a recording file combining process (S10). ). The recording file combining process is performed by extracting a recording data portion of a program broadcast at the start of the manual recording process from the automatic recording file to create a combining file. The recording file is combined, and a recording file in which the recording data of the program is continuously stored (for example, a file in which the entire baseball broadcast is recorded) is created. As a result, even when the automatic recording process is switched to the manual recording process in the middle of the broadcast of a certain program, the recorded data of the television broadcast can be recorded and managed in a recording file for each program.

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing still another example of the automatic recording process in the mobile phone 20. The processing of S1 to S3 in this example is common to the case of FIG. In this example, after starting the automatic recording process, the main control unit 215 of the mobile phone 20 monitors a program break for a television broadcast of a predetermined channel to be recorded and determines a program start point (S4). . For example, when a baseball program is broadcast after a news program, the start point of the latter baseball program is determined. If the main control unit 215 determines that it is the start point of the program, the main control unit 215 changes the recording file (S5) and continues the automatic recording process. Thereby, the recording data saved by the automatic recording process is saved in the recording file set for each program break, and the recording data can be managed in units of programs.

  Further, the main control unit 215 monitors whether or not the user has started an operation of starting the manual recording process during the execution of the automatic recording process (S6). Here, when an operation for instructing the start of the manual recording process is performed by the operation unit 213 during the automatic recording of a broadcast of a certain program (for example, the baseball broadcast), the automatic recording process is ended. The manual recording process instructed by the user is started (S7). In this manual recording process, the recording data is stored in a manual recording file different from the automatic recording file in which the recording data of the broadcast content is stored in the automatic recording process. Thereafter, when the user finishes broadcasting the program and the user performs an operation to end the manual recording process (S8), the main control unit 215 ends the manual recording process and executes a recording file combining process (S10). ). This recording file combining process is an automatic recording file that stores the recording data of the program that was broadcast at the start of the manual recording process and a manual recording that stores the recording data of the remaining broadcast contents of the same program. The file is combined to create a recording file in which the recording data of the program is continuously stored (for example, a file in which the entire baseball broadcast is recorded). As a result, even when the automatic recording process is switched to the manual recording process in the middle of the broadcast of a certain program, the recorded data of the television broadcast can be recorded and managed in a recording file for each program.

  In the examples of FIGS. 9 and 10, the break of the TV broadcast program is determined by the program start point, but it may be determined by the program end point. In addition, when character information including program-related information that can identify the start of each program at the start timing of each program of the television broadcast is received together with the broadcast content of the television broadcast, the segment of the television broadcast program is the character You may judge based on information.

  In the examples of FIGS. 9 and 10, the recording data storage destination in the automatic recording processing and the recording data storage destination in the manual recording processing may be set in different storage media. For example, the recording data storage destination in the automatic recording process may be set in an internal storage medium such as an internal memory, and the recording data storage destination in the manual recording process may be set in an external storage medium such as a memory card. . Conversely, the recording data storage destination in the automatic recording processing may be set in an external storage medium, and the recording data storage destination in the manual recording processing may be set in an internal storage medium. As described above, when the storage destination of the recording data in each recording process is set to different storage media, the combined recording file is stored in either the internal storage medium or the external storage medium. For example, when the recording data storage destination in the manual recording process is an external storage medium, the combined recording file may be stored in the same external storage medium.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, when a television function involving reception and output of a television broadcast is started, an automatic storage process for saving the content of the television broadcast in a predetermined recording storage area of the storage unit 218 is started. Therefore, it is possible to easily save the content of the TV broadcast being viewed without accompanying a complicated operation by the user.

  In the above embodiment, the case where the electronic device is a mobile phone capable of receiving a one-segment digital television broadcast has been described. However, the present invention may be applied to other electronic devices capable of receiving and outputting a broadcast, for example, The present invention can be similarly applied to an information communication terminal such as a mobile communication terminal or an electronic device such as a video recorder or a television set installed at home. Further, the present invention can be similarly applied to the case of receiving digital television broadcasts other than 1Seg (for example, terrestrial digital broadcast), receiving analog television broadcasts, and receiving radio broadcasts.
