Abstract

Disclosed is a program viewing confirmation apparatus and method for a television program leading to television viewing by adolescents by receiving a KBPS signal transmitted from a broadcasting station and automatically watching a channel, a broadcast type, a viewing time, and the like. The present invention relates to a program viewing confirmation method for a television which receives a KBPS signal transmitted from a broadcasting station and outputs various functions on the television, wherein it is determined whether the viewing history storage mode is input to the television, and the KBPS signal is input when the viewing history storage mode is input. Determining whether is detected; Reading a code relating to viewing history from the information of KBPS and counting a broadcasting time of a television when a KBPS signal is input in the above step; Determining whether the time counted in the step is greater than or equal to the set time, and if the viewing time of the television is greater than or equal to the set time, storing data of the viewing history detected in the step; In this step, it is determined whether the confirmation mode of the television viewing history is input, and if the viewing history confirmation mode is input, outputting data on the viewing history detected in the above step as text.

Therefore, according to the present invention, when the guardian of each household sets the viewing confirmation mode on the television when the user goes out, the channel, the type of broadcasting, the viewing time, etc., which have received and watched the KBPS signal transmitted from the broadcasting station during the operation of the television, are automatically stored. The guardian who returns home from the outing has the effect of leading the television viewing of the youth by later confirming the information about the stored television watching.
