Abstract
Description
図1は、本発明の実施形態1に係る番組情報表示装置200の機能ブロック図である。番組情報表示装置200は、番組情報を画面表示する装置であり、番組情報取得部210、記憶部220、番組情報表示部230、画面表示部240を備える。
以上のように、本実施形態1に係る番組情報表示装置200は、ユーザ嗜好情報221が記述しているユーザの番組嗜好に合致する番組セルを、3D表示形式で画面表示して飛び出しているように見せる。これにより、ユーザは自分の好みに合った番組情報を番組表内で即座に見つけることができるので、3D表示効果を番組表上の番組選択操作において有効活用することができる。
実施形態1では、ユーザの好み、重要度に応じて番組セルを3D表示させる動作例を説明した。一方、ユーザが番組表上で番組を選択する際の心理として、現在時刻に近い番組を選択する場面が多いと思われる。そこで本発明の実施形態2では、現在時刻を加味して番組セルを3D表示する例を説明する。番組情報表示装置200の構成は、実施形態1と同様である。
以上のように、本実施形態2に係る番組情報表示装置200は、放送時刻が現在時刻に近い番組セルをより大きく飛び出させて3D表示する。これは、現在時刻に近い番組ほどより重要度が高いという仮定に基づく。この動作によれば、時刻の観点を加味した番組選択ナビゲーションをユーザに提供することができる。
実施形態1~2において、番組セルを3D表示することを説明したが、3D表示形式で画面表示することができる機能が備わっている装置であれば、番組映像自体を3D表示することもできるのが通常である。そこで、本発明の実施形態3では、番組表における3D表示と番組映像自体の3D表示を関連付けた動作例を説明する。
以上のように、本実施形態3に係る番組情報表示装置200は、3D表示形式で表示している番組セルをユーザが選択すると、その番組映像を3D表示形式で画面表示する。これにより、番組セルの表示形式と番組映像の表示形式が対応しているので、番組映像の表示効果が2D/3Dいずれであるかを直感的に把握することができる。
以上の実施形態1~3では、番組表を表示する画面と番組映像を表示する画面は別であることを前提として説明したが、番組表と番組映像を1つの画面に同時表示させることもできる。本発明の実施形態4では、その1動作例を説明する。番組情報表示装置200の構成は、実施形態1~3と同様である。
以上の実施形態1~4において、番組セルを3D表示する際に、2D表示時とは異なる画面効果や付加情報を付与してもよい。例えば、以下のような画面効果例や付加情報例が考えられる。
一般に、2D映像を3D表示形式に変換すると、画面イメージが暗くなりがちな傾向がある。そこで番組情報表示部230は、3D表示形式で画面表示させる番組セルについては、その他のセルよりも輝度を高くする。これにより、番組セルを違和感なく3D表示形式で表示することができる。番組セルの輝度を上げる方法としては、画像処理によって信号処理上で輝度を上げるものでもよいし、当該番組セルの背後にあるバックライトの輝度を上げることによって光学的に輝度を上げるものでもよい。
番組情報表示部230は、3D表示形式で画面表示させる番組セルについては、その他のセルとは異なる色で画面表示させてもよい。これにより、3D表示されている番組セルをより明確に識別することができる。異なる色を付与する対象は、例えば背景色でもよいし文字色でもよい。
図10は、番組セルの情報量を増やした構成例を示す図である。番組情報表示部230は、3D表示形式で画面表示させる番組セルについては、その他のセルよりも多くの情報を当該番組セル内に記述するようにしてもよい。具体的には、3D表示する番組セルのサイズをその他のセルよりも大きくし、より多くの情報を記述することができるようにする。文字サイズは3D表示前と同じでもよいし、記述したい情報量に合わせて調整してもよい。番組セルのサイズをその他のセルよりも大きくすることにより、当該番組セルが前面に飛び出してきた視覚効果をより高めることができる。また情報量を増やすことにより、ユーザの便宜にも資する。
図11は、番組セルの文字サイズを大きくした構成例を示す図である。番組情報表示部230は、3D表示形式で画面表示させる番組セルについては、その他のセルよりも文字サイズを大きくしてもよい。これにより、当該番組セルが前面に飛び出してきた視覚効果をより高めることができる。
上記付加効果例その1~その4は、任意に組み合わせて用いることもできる。また、いずれかの付加効果をON/OFFする切替ボタンを本体操作部またはリモコン装置などの操作部に設け、ユーザが付加効果をON/OFFできるようにしてもよい。
実施形態1~5では、番組情報の重要度に応じて、番組セルを3D表示する際にどの程度セルを飛び出させるかを定めることを説明した。本発明の実施形態6では、番組情報の重要度を定める基準について、実施形態1~5とは異なるものを説明する。
番組情報表示部230は、番組セルを3D表示する際に、番組情報提供装置300からあらかじめ入手した人気予測が高い番組ほど、飛び出し量を大きくする。人気予測が高い番組は、番組情報表示装置200のユーザも視聴したいであろうと予測されるので、ユーザがその番組に眼を留めやすくするためである。
番組情報表示部230は、番組セルを3D表示する際に、文字列リスト222に記述されている文字列を番組情報内に多く含む番組ほど、飛び出し量を大きくする。ユーザの関心事項を番組情報内に多く含む番組は、ユーザも視聴したいであろうと予測されるからである。
番組情報表示部230は、番組セルを3D表示する際に、出演者名リスト223に記述されている出演者が番組情報内に多く含まれている番組ほど、飛び出し量を大きくする。ユーザが関心を有する出演者が多く出演する番組は、ユーザも視聴したいであろうと予測されるからである。出演者名が一致するかどうかは、単純に文字列比較によって判断してもよいし、多少の誤差を丸めて許容するようにしてもよい。
番組情報表示部230は、番組セルを3D表示する際に、予約リスト224に記述されている番組はその他の番組よりも飛び出し量を大きくする。予約済みであることをユーザに記憶喚起するためのものである。番組セル内に、予約済みであることを示すアイコンなどを併せて表示してもよい。
番組情報表示部230は、ユーザが番組を視聴した履歴を記憶部220に定常的に格納しておき、ユーザが毎回視聴している番組については、その視聴頻度が多いほど当該番組セルの飛び出し量を大きくする。毎回視聴している番組は、ユーザも見逃したくないであろうと思われるので、ユーザに注意喚起するためである。
上記手法その1~その5は、任意に組み合わせることができる。例えば、人気予測が高く出演者名リスト223に記述されている出演者が出演する番組は、単に人気予測が高い番組よりも飛び出し量を大きくすることが考えられる。あるいは、番組情報提供装置300から、特別番組であるか否かを示す情報が得られない場合には、番組タイトルに「スペシャル」などの特別番組へ典型的に付与されるタイトルが含まれているか否かによって、飛び出し量を決定してもよい。この場合は、文字列リスト222に、特別番組へ典型的に付与される文字列を記述しておけばよい。
実施の形態1では、番組セルを3D表示することによって番組セル同士が重なり合う場合には、番組セルの描画パラメータを調整することにより、番組情報を隠してしまわないようにすることを説明した。本発明の実施形態7では、番組セルのレイアウトを調整することにより番組情報を隠さないようにする具体例を説明する。番組情報表示装置200の構成は実施形態1~6と同様であるため、以下では番組セルのレイアウトを調整する点を中心に説明する。
以上、本実施形態7では、番組セルを3D表示した際に、番組情報が互いに重なり合わないようにする具体例を説明した。本実施形態7で説明した各手法は、組み合わせて用いることもできる。例えば、番組表全体のレイアウトが崩れない程度に番組セル間の間隔を僅かに広げ、それでも番組情報が重なり合う場合には番組セルのサイズ、文字列サイズ、文字列配置などを変更する、などの手法が考えられる。
本発明の実施形態8では、実施形態1~7で説明した番組情報表示装置200の機能を搭載したテレビジョン受像機(テレビ)の構成例を説明する。本実施形態8に係るテレビは、実装上、実施形態1~7で説明した番組情報表示装置200の各機能ブロックに相当する機能部を備える。実施形態1~7で説明した構成と本実施形態8に係る構成の対応関係については、別途説明する。
以上、本実施形態8では、実施形態1~6で説明した番組情報表示装置200の機能を搭載したテレビ1の構成例を説明した。番組情報表示装置200の機能を搭載する機器のその他の例として、例えば番組録画装置、テレビ放送を受信することのできる携帯端末、などが考えられる。
実施形態1~7で説明した番組情報表示装置200の各機能部、および実施形態8で説明したテレビ1の各機能ブロックは、集積回路(ICチップ)上に形成された論理回路によってハードウェア的に実現してもよいし、CPUを用いてソフトウェア的に実現してもよい。
