For example, only the keyword-related words of the broadcast program that first became the lost program information may be recorded. In this case, if the overwritten program basic information becomes lost program information again, the program basic information that was recorded first and became lost program information can be specified. Therefore, the program basic information most similar to the program content of the broadcast program recorded first can be specified.

By setting the priority order in this way, lost program information can be easily specified. Further, such a priority order setting method may be combined with the priority order setting method used in the embodiment. That is, for example, if there is more than one program basic information that includes keyword-related words in the program title information, among these, the one that contains more keyword-related words is determined as lost program information with priority.

Information identified as 430. Therefore, even if there is lost program information, the lost program information is not immediately deleted. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a recording error of a broadcast program due to erasure of the lost program information. Conventionally, when the lost program information was deleted, it was necessary to make a recording reservation by inputting the user's manual settings. Since the information 430 is specified and this program information is automatically recorded in the recording reservation information list 500, it is possible to acquire an appropriate broadcast program and make a recording reservation.

Abstract

La présente invention se rapporte à un dispositif d'enregistrement/reproduction (10), qui comprend : des moyens d'analyse de données de programme, qui sont destinés à analyser des données de base de programme et à acquérir un mot associé à un mot-clé ; et des moyens de gestion de données de programme, destinés à déterminer si des données de programme sont perdues lors de la mise à jour de la table de données de programme et, si tel est le cas, à identifier les données de base de programme contenant le mot associé à un mot-clé comme étant les données de base de programme qui ont été perdues à partir de la table de données de programme mise à jour. Ainsi, en présence de données de programme perdues, ces dernières ne sont pas effacées, et il est possible de les identifier et de les sélectionner à nouveau aux fins d'enregistrement. Par conséquent, il est possible d'acquérir une émission appropriée et de la sélectionner aux fins d'enregistrement.
