　近年、遠隔地にいる視聴者同志で同じテレビ番組を視聴しながら、テレビ画面上でチャット等のコミュニケーションを行うことが可能なシステム（以下、遠隔同時視聴システムと呼ぶ）が実現されている。 In recent years, a system (hereinafter referred to as a remote simultaneous viewing system) has been realized that enables communication such as chat on a TV screen while viewing the same TV program among viewers in remote locations.
　また、特許文献１には、２つのテレビ受信機において同時に同じテレビ番組を視聴可能とするシステムが記載されている。特許文献１に記載のシステムにおいては、以下のように遠隔同時視聴を実現している。すなわち、（１）２つのテレビ受信機の間で番組表を交換し、（２）それぞれのテレビ受信器において、これら２つのテレビ受信器の双方で視聴可能なテレビ番組であって、放送時間がずれているテレビ番組を抽出し、（３）先の放送時間において、一方のテレビ受信器が当該テレビ番組を録画し、（４）後の放送時間において、上記一方のテレビ受信器が録画した当該テレビ番組を再生すると共に、他方のテレビ受信器が受信した当該テレビ番組を再生する。 Also, Patent Document 1 describes a system that enables the same television program to be viewed simultaneously on two television receivers. In the system described in Patent Document 1, remote simultaneous viewing is realized as follows. That is, (1) a program table is exchanged between two television receivers, and (2) each television receiver is a television program that can be viewed by both of these television receivers, and the broadcast time is (3) One television receiver records the television program at the previous broadcast time, and (4) the television program is recorded at the later broadcast time. The television program is reproduced, and the television program received by the other television receiver is reproduced.
　また、特許文献２には、テレビの視聴が可能な携帯端末が２つあり、それぞれの携帯端末で同じテレビ番組を視聴したい場合、一方の携帯端末から他方の携帯端末へ、該他方の携帯端末にて視聴可能な番組を示す番組表を要求し、当該番組表から他方の携帯端末で当該テレビ番組の視聴の可否を判定し、視聴が不可能なとき、当該テレビ番組を他方の携帯端末へ転送して、２つの携帯端末において同時に同じテレビ番組を視聴可能とする携帯端末が記載されている。 Further, in Patent Document 2, there are two portable terminals capable of watching TV, and when one wants to watch the same TV program on each portable terminal, the other portable terminal is transferred from one portable terminal to the other portable terminal.

　同時視聴要求取得部５２は、表示装置１Ａから指名情報を取得し、同時視聴可能番組抽出部５３に通知する。また、同時視聴要求取得部５２は、表示装置１Ａから選択情報を取得し、同時視聴設定部５４に通知する。 The simultaneous viewing request acquisition unit 52 acquires the designation information from the display device 1A and notifies the simultaneous viewing possible program extraction unit 53 of the designation information. The simultaneous viewing request acquisition unit 52 acquires selection information from the display device 1A and notifies the simultaneous viewing setting unit 54 of the selection information.
　同時視聴可能番組抽出部５３は、同時視聴要求取得部５２から通知された同時視聴要求に基づき、同時視聴の対象となる表示装置１（表示装置１Ａおよび表示装置１Ｂ）の設定情報を管理サーバ３から取得する。そして、取得した設定情報を用いて、２つの表示装置１で視聴可能な番組を抽出し、抽出した番組を示す抽出情報を、指名情報を送信した表示装置１Ａに送信する。 Based on the simultaneous viewing request notified from the simultaneous viewing request acquisition unit 52, the simultaneously viewable program extracting unit 53 receives setting information of the display device 1 (display device 1 </ b> A and display device 1 </ b> B) that is the target of simultaneous viewing. Get from. Then, using the acquired setting information, the programs that can be viewed on the two display devices 1 are extracted, and the extracted information indicating the extracted programs is transmitted to the display device 1A that transmitted the designation information.
　同時視聴設定部５４は、同時視聴要求取得部５２から選択情報が通知されると、同時視聴対象となる表示装置１Ｂに勧誘情報を送信する。また、同時視聴設定部５４は、表示装置１Ｂから承諾情報を取得すると、これを表示装置１Ａに送信する。 When the selection information is notified from the simultaneous viewing request acquisition unit 52, the simultaneous viewing setting unit 54 transmits solicitation information to the display device 1B to be simultaneously viewed. Further, when obtaining the consent information from the display device 1B, the simultaneous viewing setting unit 54 transmits this to the display device 1A.
　管理サーバ３は、設定情報管理テーブル６１を含む。設定情報管理テーブル６１には、表示装置と、該表示装置における同時視聴の可否設定、視聴可能番組、視聴地域、有料放送契約情報、視聴ユーザ等が対応付けて記憶されている。 The management server 3 includes a setting information management table 61. In the setting information management table 61, a display device, simultaneous viewing permission / inhibition setting on the display device, a viewable program, a viewing area, pay broadcast contract information, a viewing user, and the like are stored in association with each other.
　　〔遠隔同時聴システムにおける処理の流れ〕
　次に、図４～６を参照して、遠隔同時視聴システムにおける処理の流れを説明する。図４は、遠隔同時視聴システムにおける処理の流れを示すシーケンス図である。図５は、表示装置１Ａにおける画面例を示す図である。図６は、同時視聴の設定例を示す図である。なお、ここでも、表示装置１Ａを要求側の装置、表示装置１Ｂを勧誘される側の装置として説明する。また、表示装置１Ａのユーザを「Ａさん」、表示装置１Ｂのユーザを「Ｂさん」とする。 [Processing flow in remote simultaneous listening system]
Next, a processing flow in the remote simultaneous viewing system will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 4 is a sequence diagram showing a processing flow in the remote simultaneous viewing system. FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen on the display device 1A. FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a setting example of simultaneous viewing. Here, the display device 1A will be described as a requesting device, and the display device 1B will be described as a solicited device. The user of the display device 1A is “Mr. A”, and the user of the display device 1B is “Mr. B”.
　まず、表示装置１Ａにおいて同時視聴の可否を設定する（Ｓ１）。そして、表示装置１Ａは、同時視聴の可否を示す情報を含む設定情報（自装置番組指定情報、第１の番組指定情報）を同時視聴サーバ２へ送信する（送信ステップ）。表示装置１Ａの設定情報を取得した同時視聴サーバ２は、当該設定情報を管理サーバ３へ送信する。 First, whether or not simultaneous viewing is possible is set on the display device 1A (S1). Then, the display device 1A transmits setting information (own device program designation information, first program designation information) including information indicating whether simultaneous viewing is possible or not to the simultaneous viewing server 2 (transmission step). The simultaneous viewing server 2 that has acquired the setting information of the display device 1 </ b> A transmits the setting information to the management server 3.
　また、表示装置１Ｂにおいても同時視聴の可否を設定する（Ｓ２）。そして、表示装置１Ｂは、同時視聴の可否を示す情報を含む設定情報（他装置番組指定情報、第２の番組指定情報）を同時視聴サーバ２へ送信する。表示装置１Ｂの設定情報を取得した同時視聴サーバ２は、当該設定情報を管理サーバ３へ送信する。ここまでが、初期設定または設定変更のフェーズである。 Also, whether or not simultaneous viewing is possible is also set on the display device 1B (S2). Then, the display device 1B transmits setting information (other device program designation information, second program designation information) including information indicating whether simultaneous viewing is possible or not to the simultaneous viewing server 2. The simultaneous viewing server 2 that has acquired the setting information of the display device 1 </ b> B transmits the setting information to the management server 3. This is the initial setting or setting change phase.
　設定例を図６に示す。図６の設定例６０１は、表示装置１Ａの設定例を示している。ここでは、ｃｈ番号、放送局名、番組名、同時視聴の可否が対応付けられて設定されている。設定例６０１では、ｃｈ番号１、２、４、５、７、８について、すべての相手方に対し（ａｌｌ）、同時視聴設定可（ＯＫ）と設定されている。また、ｃｈ番号６については、すべての相手方に対し（ａｌｌ）、同時視聴不可（ＮＧ）と設定されている。また、ｃｈ番号９については、相手方Ｂに対し、同時視聴不可（ＮＧ）と設定されている。設定例６０２についても同様である。設定６０２は、表示装置１Ｂについての設定例である。 An example of setting is shown in FIG. A setting example 601 in FIG. 6 shows a setting example of the display device 1A. Here, the channel number, broadcast station name, program name, and availability of simultaneous viewing are set in association with each other. In setting example 601, channel numbers 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, and 8 are set to (all) for all opponents, and simultaneous viewing setting is possible (OK). In addition, for channel number 6, it is set to all the other parties (all) and simultaneous viewing is not possible (NG). Also, for channel number 9, the other party B is set to be unable to view simultaneously (NG). The same applies to the setting example 602. A setting 602 is a setting example for the display device 1B.
　次に、表示装置１Ａにおいて、同時視聴の開始処理を始める。同時視聴の処理が開始される前は、通常のテレビ放送が表示されている（画面例５０１）。同時視聴の開始処理が始まると、開始処理の初期画面を表示する（画面例５０２）。画面例５０２では、「フレンドリスト」、「番組リスト」、「お勧め」、「設定」が選択可能に表示されている。そして、「フレンドリスト」を選択すると、同時視聴の相手方の一覧が表示される（画面例５０３）。画面例５０３は、「Ｂさん」、「Ｃさん」、「Ｄさん」、「Ｅさん」が表示されている。 Next, the simultaneous viewing start process is started on the display device 1A. Before the simultaneous viewing process is started, a normal television broadcast is displayed (screen example 501). When the simultaneous viewing start process starts, an initial screen of the start process is displayed (screen example 502). In the screen example 502, “friend list”, “program list”, “recommended”, and “setting” are displayed to be selectable. Then, when the “friend list” is selected, a list of simultaneous viewing partners is displayed (screen example 503). In the screen example 503, “Mr. B”, “Mr. C”, “Mr. D”, and “Mr. E” are displayed.
　そして、同時視聴の相手方となる表示装置１Ｂ（Ｂさん）が選択されると、表示装置１Ａは、表示装置１Ｂを特定する情報（Ｂさんを指名する情報）である指名情報を同時視聴サーバ２へ送信する（Ｓ３）。 Then, when the display device 1B (Mr. B) who is the other party of simultaneous viewing is selected, the display device 1A displays the designation information, which is information for identifying the display device 1B (information designating Mr. B), at the simultaneous viewing server 2 (S3).
　指名情報を取得した同時視聴サーバ２は、指名情報を送信した表示装置１Ａおよび指名情報によって特定されている表示装置１Ｂの設定情報を、管理サーバ３に対し要求する。そして、同時視聴サーバ２は、管理サーバ３から取得した表示装置１Ａの設定情報および表示装置１Ｂの設定情報を用いて、表示装置１Ａおよび表示装置１Ｂの両方で共通して視聴可能かつ、同時視聴が拒否されていない番組を抽出する（Ｓ４、抽出ステップ）。そして、抽出した番組を示す抽出情報（抽出番組情報）を表示装置１Ａに送信する（取得ステップ）。 The simultaneous viewing server 2 that has acquired the designation information requests the management server 3 for setting information of the display device 1A that has transmitted the designation information and the display device 1B that is specified by the designation information. The simultaneous viewing server 2 can use the setting information of the display device 1A and the setting information of the display device 1B acquired from the management server 3 so that both the display device 1A and the display device 1B can view the content simultaneously. A program that is not rejected is extracted (S4, extraction step). And the extraction information (extraction program information) which shows the extracted program is transmitted to the display apparatus 1A (acquisition step).
　なお、これまでの説明では、各表示装置で視聴可能な番組の一覧を設定情報に含めていたため、同時視聴サーバ２にて、管理サーバ３から表示装置１Ａ及び１Ｂの設定情報を取得すると、両方の表示装置で共通して視聴可能な番組が抽出可能であった。この方法の場合には、視聴可能な番組が変更になり次第（現実的には１日１回）、全端末が設定情報を同時視聴サーバに送信する必要があり、通信トラフィックの面で課題がある。そのため、設定情報に視聴可能な番組の一覧を含める代わりに、各表示装置の視聴地域や有料放送の契約情報を含めることとし、同時視聴サーバ２にて、管理サーバ３から表示装置１Ａ及び１Ｂの設定情報を取得した際に、視聴地域や有料放送の契約情報などから、放送局等が提供する現在放送している番組の情報提供サービスを利用して、各表示装置で視聴可能な番組の一覧を取得するようにしても良い。 In the description so far, since the list of programs that can be viewed on each display device is included in the setting information, when the simultaneous viewing server 2 acquires the setting information of the display devices 1A and 1B from the management server 3, both It was possible to extract programs that can be viewed in common on the display devices. In the case of this method, as soon as the program that can be viewed is changed (practically once a day), it is necessary for all terminals to transmit the setting information to the simultaneous viewing server, which is problematic in terms of communication traffic. is there. Therefore, instead of including the list of programs that can be viewed in the setting information, the viewing area of each display device and the contract information of pay broadcasting are included, and the simultaneous viewing server 2 controls the display devices 1A and 1B from the management server 3. List of programs that can be viewed on each display device using the information providing service of programs currently being broadcast provided by broadcasting stations, etc., from the viewing area and pay broadcast contract information, etc., when setting information is acquired You may make it acquire.
　抽出情報を取得した表示装置１Ａは、抽出情報に基づいて同時視聴が可能番組を表示する（画面例５０４、提示ステップ）。画面例５０４では、「ぶらりＱ」、「野球ＹＹ」、「戦隊Ｚ」が同時視聴が可能な番組として表示されている。そして、同時視聴する番組の選択を受け付ける（Ｓ５）。ここでは、「ぶらりＱ」が選択されたと仮定する。表示装置１Ａは、選択された番組を示す選択情報を同時視聴サーバ２に送信するとともに、Ｂさんを誘っていることを示す表示を行う（画面例５０５）。選択情報を取得した同時視聴サーバ２は、同時視聴の相手である表示装置１Ｂに、表示装置１Ａ（Ａさん）から同時視聴のお誘いが来ていることを示す勧誘情報を表示装置１Ｂに送信する。なお、勧誘情報には、表示装置１Ａにて選択された番組を示す情報も含まれている。 The display device 1A that has acquired the extracted information displays a program that can be simultaneously viewed based on the extracted information (screen example 504, presentation step). In the screen example 504, “Burning Q”, “Baseball YY”, and “Sengai Z” are displayed as programs that can be simultaneously viewed. And the selection of the program to view simultaneously is received (S5). Here, it is assumed that “blur Q” is selected. The display device 1A transmits selection information indicating the selected program to the simultaneous viewing server 2 and performs display indicating that Mr. B is invited (screen example 505). The simultaneous viewing server 2 that has acquired the selection information transmits, to the display device 1B, solicitation information indicating that there is an invitation for simultaneous viewing from the display device 1A (Mr. A) to the display device 1B that is the partner of simultaneous viewing. . The solicitation information includes information indicating the program selected on the display device 1A.
　勧誘情報を取得した表示装置１Ｂは、同時視聴の勧誘を受けるか否かを受け付け、受ける場合は、勧誘を受けることを示す承諾情報を同時視聴サーバ２に送信するとともに、勧誘を受けた番組にチャンネルを切り替える（Ｓ６）。 The display device 1B that has acquired the solicitation information receives whether or not to receive a solicitation for simultaneous viewing. If so, the display device 1B transmits consent information indicating that the solicitation is received to the simultaneous viewing server 2 and displays the solicited program. The channel is switched (S6).
　表示装置１Ｂから承諾情報を取得した同時視聴サーバ２は、表示装置１Ａに承諾情報を送信する。承諾情報を取得した表示装置１Ａは、Ｂさんが同時視聴を承諾した旨を示す表示を行うとともに（画面例５０６）、ステップＳ５における選択処理にて選択した番組のチャンネルに切り替える（Ｓ７、画面例５０７）。これにより、表示装置１Ａと表示装置１Ｂとの両方で、同じ番組を視聴することになる。 The simultaneous viewing server 2 that acquired the consent information from the display device 1B transmits the consent information to the display device 1A. The display device 1A that has acquired the consent information displays that B has approved simultaneous viewing (screen example 506) and switches to the channel of the program selected in the selection process in step S5 (S7, screen example). 507). Thereby, the same program is viewed on both the display device 1A and the display device 1B.
　なお、同時視聴が可能な番組の表示方法は、画面例５０４に示した方法に限られない。これについて図７を参照して説明する。図７は、同時視聴が可能な番組の表示方法の例を示す図である。 Note that the display method of programs that can be simultaneously viewed is not limited to the method shown in the screen example 504. This will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of a method for displaying a program capable of simultaneous viewing.
　上述した図６に示すように、表示装置１Ａの設定が設定例６０１、表示装置１Ｂの設定が設定例６０２となっている場合を考える。この場合において、表示装置１Ａで視聴可能かつ同時視聴の設定が「ＯＫ」となっている番組で、表示装置１Ｂで視聴可能かつ同時視聴の設定が「ＯＫ」となっている番組を、同時視聴可能番組として表示する例を図７（ａ）に示す。この場合、表示装置１Ａにおいて同時視聴を希望しない（ＮＧ）番組が同時視聴可能番組として表示されないので、表示装置１Ａのユーザが、自分の同時視聴を希望しない番組（例えば、「ｃｈ番号６　芸術ＤＯ」）であるにもかかわらず、誤って選択してしまうことを防止することができる。 Consider the case where the setting of the display device 1A is the setting example 601 and the setting of the display device 1B is the setting example 602, as shown in FIG. In this case, a program that can be viewed on the display device 1A and the simultaneous viewing setting is “OK”, and a program that can be viewed on the display device 1B and the simultaneous viewing setting is “OK” is simultaneously viewed. An example of display as a possible program is shown in FIG. In this case, since the program that does not desire simultaneous viewing (NG) is not displayed as a simultaneously viewable program on the display device 1A, the user of the display device 1A does not want to view his / her own simultaneous viewing (for example, “ch number 6 art DO )), It is possible to prevent an erroneous selection.
　また、表示装置１Ａで視聴可能な番組で、表示装置１Ｂで視聴可能かつ同時視聴の設定が「ＯＫ」となっている番組を、同時視聴可能番組として表示する例を図７（ｂ）に示す。この場合、同時視聴可能番組として表示される番組（チャンネル）の幅が広がる。なお、表示装置１Ａのユーザが同時視聴を希望しない場合、選択しなければよい。 FIG. 7B shows an example in which a program that can be viewed on the display device 1A and that can be viewed on the display device 1B and the simultaneous viewing setting is “OK” is displayed as a simultaneously viewable program. . In this case, the range of programs (channels) displayed as simultaneously viewable programs is expanded. It should be noted that if the user of the display device 1A does not desire simultaneous viewing, the selection may not be made.
　また、表示装置１Ａで視聴可能な番組をすべて表示し、そのうち、表示装置１Ｂで視聴可能かつ同時視聴の設定が「ＯＫ」となっている番組を、それ以外の番組と異ならせて表示する例を図７（ｃ）に示す。なお、図７（ｃ）では、同時視聴不可の番組にバツ印が表示されている。この場合、同時視聴できない番組が明示化されるので、同時視聴の相手をＢさんとするか、あるいは別の誰かを同時視聴相手として探すのか、との選択を容易にすることができる。 An example in which all programs that can be viewed on the display device 1A are displayed, of which programs that can be viewed on the display device 1B and the simultaneous viewing setting is “OK” is displayed differently from the other programs. Is shown in FIG. In FIG. 7C, cross marks are displayed for programs that cannot be viewed simultaneously. In this case, since a program that cannot be simultaneously viewed is specified, it is possible to easily select whether the partner of simultaneous viewing is Mr. B or to search for someone else as the simultaneous viewing partner.
　〔付記事項〕
　なお、上述した実施形態では、表示装置１Ａと表示装置１Ｂとの双方において、同時視聴が可能とされている番組を同時視聴サーバ２にて抽出し、表示装置１Ａにて表示する構成を説明した。しかしながら、本発明はこれに限られるものではなく、表示装置１Ｂにおいて同時視聴が可能と設定された番組かつ、表示装置１Ａで視聴可能な番組を表示装置１Ａで表示する構成であってもよい。 [Additional Notes]
In the above-described embodiment, a configuration has been described in which the simultaneous viewing server 2 extracts a program that can be simultaneously viewed on both the display device 1A and the display device 1B and displays the program on the display device 1A. . However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the display device 1A may display a program that is set to be viewable simultaneously on the display device 1B and that can be viewed on the display device 1A.
　この場合、表示装置１Ａの同時視聴要求部３１が指名情報を同時視聴サーバ２に送信すると、同時視聴サーバ２は、管理サーバ３から表示装置１Ｂ（Ｂさん）の設定情報を取得し、表示装置１Ａに送信する。 In this case, when the simultaneous viewing request unit 31 of the display device 1A transmits the designation information to the simultaneous viewing server 2, the simultaneous viewing server 2 acquires the setting information of the display device 1B (Mr. B) from the management server 3, and the display device Send to 1A.
　表示装置１Ｂの設定情報を取得した表示装置１Ａの同時視聴要求制御部２５は、表示装置１Ｂの設定情報が示す同時視聴可能番組と自装置（表示装置１Ａ）で視聴可能な番組とから、同時視聴が可能な番組を表示部１２に表示させる。 The simultaneous viewing request control unit 25 of the display device 1A that has acquired the setting information of the display device 1B simultaneously receives the simultaneously viewable program indicated by the setting information of the display device 1B and the program that can be viewed by the own device (display device 1A). A displayable program is displayed on the display unit 12.
　これにより、少なくとも表示装置１Ｂにおいて同時視聴が可能と設定された番組のみが同時視聴可能番組として表示されるので、表示装置１Ｂのユーザが知られたくない番組（チャンネル）を表示装置１Ａのユーザに知られてしまうことはない。また、表示装置１Ａに、表示装置１Ａのユーザが他の表示装置のユーザに知られたくない番組（同時視聴を希望しない番組）が表示されても、表示装置１Ａのユーザは当該番組を選択しなければよいので、何の問題も生じない。 As a result, at least only programs that are set to be simultaneously viewable on the display device 1B are displayed as simultaneously viewable programs, so that a program (channel) that the user of the display device 1B does not want to be known to the user of the display device 1A. It will never be known. Further, even if a program that the user of the display device 1A does not want to be known by the user of the other display device (a program that does not want to be simultaneously viewed) is displayed on the display device 1A, the user of the display device 1A selects the program. If it is not necessary, no problems will occur.
　〔実施形態２〕
　本発明の他の実施形態について、図８、および図９に基づいて説明すれば、以下のとおりである。なお、説明の便宜上、前記実施形態にて説明した部材と同じ機能を有する部材については、同じ符号を付記し、その説明を省略する。 [Embodiment 2]
The following will describe another embodiment of the present invention with reference to FIGS. For convenience of explanation, members having the same functions as those described in the embodiment are given the same reference numerals, and descriptions thereof are omitted.
　本実施形態では、上記実施形態で説明した同時視聴サーバ２および管理サーバ３を介さず、表示装置１’（１’Ａ、１’Ｂ）同士で遠隔同時視聴を実現するものである。 In the present embodiment, remote simultaneous viewing is realized between the display devices 1 '(1'A, 1'B) without using the simultaneous viewing server 2 and the management server 3 described in the above embodiment.
　まず、図８を参照して表示装置１’について説明する。図８は、本実施形態に係る表示装置１’の要部構成を示すブロック図である。表示装置１’では、上述した表示装置１の同時視聴要求制御部２５に代わって、同時視聴要求制御部２５’が含まれているとともに設定情報記憶部１５を含む。 First, the display device 1 'will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 8 is a block diagram showing a main configuration of the display device 1 ′ according to the present embodiment. The display device 1 ′ includes a simultaneous viewing request control unit 25 ′ and a setting information storage unit 15 instead of the simultaneous viewing request control unit 25 of the display device 1 described above.
　設定情報記憶部１５は、上記実施形態の管理サーバ３の同様の役割を果たすものであり、同時視聴番組設定部２４が設定した設定情報を記憶するものである。 The setting information storage unit 15 plays the same role as the management server 3 of the above embodiment, and stores the setting information set by the simultaneous viewing program setting unit 24.
　同時視聴要求制御部２５’は、同時視聴に関する各種制御を行うものであり同時視聴可能番組抽出部４１を含む。より詳細には、同時視聴要求制御部２５’は、同時視聴の相手方装置（ここでは、表示装置１’Ｂ）に対し、同時視聴の要求とともに自装置における設定情報を送信する。また、同時視聴要求制御部２５’の同時視聴可能番組抽出部４１は、表示装置１’Ｂから同時視聴の要求を受けた場合、受信した設定情報と自装置の設定情報記憶部１５に格納されている設定情報とを比較し、同時視聴が可能な番組を抽出する。そして、抽出した番組を示す同時視聴可能番組情報を同時視聴の要求を受けた表示装置１’Ｂに送信する。 The simultaneous viewing request control unit 25 ′ performs various controls related to simultaneous viewing, and includes a simultaneously viewable program extraction unit 41. More specifically, the simultaneous viewing request control unit 25 ′ transmits the setting information in the own device together with the simultaneous viewing request to the partner device for simultaneous viewing (here, the display device 1 ′ B). In addition, when receiving a request for simultaneous viewing from the display device 1′B, the simultaneous viewing request extraction unit 41 of the simultaneous viewing request control unit 25 ′ stores the received setting information and the setting information storage unit 15 of the own device. Compared with the set information, the programs that can be viewed simultaneously are extracted. Then, the simultaneously viewable program information indicating the extracted program is transmitted to the display device 1'B that has received the request for simultaneous viewing.
　次に、図９を参照して、本実施形態における処理の流れを説明する。図９は、本実施形態における処理の流れを示すシーケンス図である。なお、ここでは、表示装置１’Ａから表示装置１’Ｂに対し、同時視聴の要求をする場合を説明する。 Next, the flow of processing in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 9 is a sequence diagram showing the flow of processing in the present embodiment. Here, a case will be described in which the display device 1 ′ A requests the display device 1 ′ B for simultaneous viewing.
　まず、表示装置１’Ａ、表示装置１’Ｂのそれぞれにおいて、同時視聴の設定処理を行う（Ｓ１０１）。次に、表示装置１’Ａから表示装置１’Ｂに対し、同時視聴の要求をする。ここでは、表示装置１’Ａの設定情報が表示装置１’Ｂに送信される。表示装置１’Ａから設定情報を受信した表示装置１’Ｂは、受信した設定情報と自装置における設定情報とを比較し、同時視聴が可能な番組を抽出する（Ｓ１０２）。そして、同時視聴が可能な番組を示す抽出情報を表示装置１’Ａに送信する。抽出情報を受信した表示装置１’Ａは、同時視聴が可能な番組から同時視聴を行う番組の選択を受け付け（Ｓ１０３）、選択された番組を示す勧誘情報を表示装置１’Ｂに送信する。勧誘情報を受信した表示装置１’Ｂは、勧誘を受ける場合、その旨を示す承諾情報を表示装置１’Ａに送信するとともに、勧誘情報が示す番組のチャンネルに切り替える（Ｓ１０５）。また、承諾情報を受信した表示装置１’Ａは、ステップＳ１０３で選択した番組にチャンネルを切り替える（Ｓ１０４）。これにより、表示装置１’Ａおよび表示装置１’Ｂの両方で同じ番組を視聴可能となる。 First, simultaneous viewing setting processing is performed in each of the display device 1'A and the display device 1'B (S101). Next, the display device 1 ′ A requests the display device 1 ′ B for simultaneous viewing. Here, the setting information of the display device 1'A is transmitted to the display device 1'B. The display device 1'B that has received the setting information from the display device 1'A compares the received setting information with the setting information in its own device, and extracts a program that can be viewed simultaneously (S102). Then, the extracted information indicating the programs that can be simultaneously viewed is transmitted to the display device 1'A. The display device 1'A that has received the extracted information accepts selection of a program that can be simultaneously viewed from programs that can be simultaneously viewed (S103), and transmits solicitation information indicating the selected program to the display device 1'B. When receiving the solicitation information, the display device 1 ′ B, when receiving the solicitation, transmits consent information indicating that fact to the display device 1 ′ A and switches to the channel of the program indicated by the solicitation information (S <b> 105). The display device 1'A that has received the consent information switches the channel to the program selected in step S103 (S104). Accordingly, the same program can be viewed on both the display device 1'A and the display device 1'B.
　〔実施形態３〕
　　〔選局操作〕
　次に、同時視聴中における選局操作について、図１０を参照して説明する。図１０は、選局操作が行われたときの選局チャンネルを説明するための図である。図１０（ａ）の設定例１００１に示すように表示装置１Ａでは設定され、設定例１００２に示すように表示装置１Ｂでは設定されていた場合を考える。表示装置１Ａにおける通常視聴時に、表示装置１Ａの選局ボタン（アップダウンボタン等）やリモコン等により選局操作がされた場合、図１０（ｂ）に示すように、アップ（ＵＰ）では、ｃｈ１→ｃｈ２→ｃｈ４→ｃｈ５→ｃｈ６→ｃｈ７→ｃｈ８→ｃｈ１の順に選局され、ダウン（ｄｏｗｎ）では、ｃｈ８→ｃｈ７→ｃｈ６→ｃｈ５→ｃｈ４→ｃｈ２→ｃｈ１→ｃｈ８の順に選局される。これに対し、表示装置１Ｂと同時視聴中の場合は、図１０（ｃ）に示すように、アップ（ＵＰ）では、ｃｈ２→ｃｈ５→ｃｈ７→ｃｈ２の順に選局され、ダウン（ｄｏｗｎ）では、ｃｈ７→ｃｈ５→ｃｈ２→ｃｈ７の順に選局される。すなわち、同時視聴中は、同時視聴が可能な番組のチャンネルのみが選択される。 [Embodiment 3]
[Channel selection operation]
Next, the channel selection operation during simultaneous viewing will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining a channel selection channel when a channel selection operation is performed. Assume that the setting is made in the display device 1A as shown in the setting example 1001 in FIG. 10A and is set in the display device 1B as shown in the setting example 1002. When a channel selection operation (such as an up / down button) of the display device 1A or a remote controller is performed during normal viewing on the display device 1A, as shown in FIG. Channels are selected in the order of ch2, ch4, ch5, ch6, ch7, ch8, and ch1, and in the down state, channels are selected in the order of ch8, ch7, ch6, ch5, ch4, ch2, ch1, and ch8. On the other hand, in the case of simultaneous viewing with the display device 1B, as shown in FIG. 10C, the channel is selected in the order of ch2 → ch5 → ch7 → ch2 in the up (UP), and in the down (down), The channels are selected in the order of ch7 → ch5 → ch2 → ch7. That is, during simultaneous viewing, only the channels of programs that can be simultaneously viewed are selected.
　また、同時視聴中に、リモコン等の数字キーによるワンタッチ選局やチャンネル番号入力によるダイレクト選局が行われた場合で、選局されたチャンネルの番組が同時視聴不可な番組のときには、「この番組は同時視聴できません」というような表示がされるとともに、視聴中の番組の表示が継続される構成であってもよい。 In addition, if one-touch channel selection using the numeric keys on the remote control or direct channel selection by channel number input is performed during simultaneous viewing, and the program on the selected channel is a program that cannot be viewed simultaneously, May be displayed at the same time, and the display of the program being viewed may be continued.
　また、同時視聴中の番組が終了し、同じチャンネルの次の番組が同時視聴不可な番組の場合、例えば、図１２（ａ）（ｂ）に示すように「戦隊Ｚ」を同時視聴していて、２０時になったときは以下の処理を行う構成であってもよい。 In addition, when the simultaneously viewed program ends and the next program on the same channel is a program that cannot be simultaneously viewed, for example, as shown in FIGS. , It may be configured to perform the following processing when 20:00 is reached.

　　〔ＳＴＢ（set top box）を含む構成〕
　　　〔構成例１〕
　次に、ＳＴＢを含む構成について、図１３を参照して説明する。図１３は、ＳＴＢを含む構成を説明するための図である。同時視聴中の表示装置の中にＳＴＢを介して番組を受信している装置がある場合、表示装置１からＳＴＢに対しチャンネルの変更を指示できるかどうかによって、処理が異なる。 [Embodiment 4]
[Configuration including STB (set top box)]
[Configuration example 1]
Next, a configuration including an STB will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 13 is a diagram for explaining a configuration including an STB. When there is a device that is receiving a program via the STB among the simultaneously viewing display devices, the processing differs depending on whether the display device 1 can instruct the STB to change the channel.
　図１３に示す例では、表示装置Ａ、表示装置Ｂ、表示装置Ｃの３台が同時視聴中で、表示装置Ｂおよび表示装置ＣがＳＴＢを介して番組を受信しており、表示装置ＢはＳＴＢの操作が可能で表示装置ＣはＳＴＢの操作が不可能という場合を示している。 In the example shown in FIG. 13, the display device A, the display device B, and the display device C are simultaneously viewing, the display device B and the display device C receive a program via the STB, and the display device B The case where the STB operation is possible and the display device C cannot operate the STB is shown.
　この例で、表示装置Ａにて同時視聴中に選局操作があった場合、選局操作があったことを示す選局通知が、同時視聴サーバに送信される。選局通知を受けた同時視聴サーバは、選局通知が示す選局を行うように選局要求を表示装置Ｂおよび表示装置Ｃに通知する。ＳＴＢの操作が可能な表示装置Ｂでは、選局要求を受けると、通知された内容に基づきＳＴＢを操作して選局を行う。一方、ＳＴＢの操作が不可能な表示装置Ｃでは、選局要求を受けると、選局を促す表示を行う。 In this example, when there is a channel selection operation during simultaneous viewing on the display device A, a channel selection notification indicating that there has been a channel selection operation is transmitted to the simultaneous viewing server. Upon receiving the channel selection notification, the simultaneous viewing server notifies the display device B and the display device C of the channel selection request so as to perform the channel selection indicated by the channel selection notification. When receiving the channel selection request, the display device B capable of operating the STB operates the STB based on the notified contents to perform channel selection. On the other hand, when receiving the channel selection request, the display device C that cannot operate the STB performs a display prompting the channel selection.
　　　〔構成例２〕
　ＳＴＢを含む別の構成について、図１４を参照して説明する。図１４は、ＳＴＢを含む構成を説明するための図である。本構成例では、表示装置Ａ、表示装置Ｂ、表示装置Ｃの３台が同時視聴中で、表示装置Ｂおよび表示装置ＣがＳＴＢを介して番組を受信しており、表示装置ＢはＳＴＢの操作が可能で表示装置ＣはＳＴＢの操作が不可能という場合で、表示装置Ｃにおいて選局が行われたときを示す。 [Configuration example 2]
Another configuration including the STB will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 14 is a diagram for explaining a configuration including an STB. In this configuration example, display device A, display device B, and display device C are simultaneously viewing, and display device B and display device C receive a program via STB, and display device B is connected to STB. This shows the case where the operation is possible and the display device C cannot operate the STB, and the channel selection is performed on the display device C.
　表示装置Ｃは、ＳＴＢの操作が不可能なので、ＳＴＢで選局操作がされても、選局操作があったことを表示装置Ｃで認識できず、選局通知を同時視聴サーバに通知することができない。そこで、本構成例では、定期的に表示装置Ｃで表示されている番組の情報（画像情報、音声情報等）を同時視聴サーバに送信し、同時視聴サーバで、表示装置Ｃで表示されているチャンネルが変わったことを認識したときに、表示装置Ａおよび表示装置Ｂに選局要求を通知する。 Since the display device C cannot operate the STB, even if the channel selection operation is performed on the STB, the display device C cannot recognize that the channel selection operation has been performed, and notifies the simultaneous viewing server of the channel selection notification. I can't. Therefore, in this configuration example, information (image information, audio information, etc.) of the program displayed on the display device C periodically is transmitted to the simultaneous viewing server, and is displayed on the display device C by the simultaneous viewing server. When it is recognized that the channel has changed, the channel selection request is notified to the display devices A and B.
　同時視聴サーバにおける、表示装置Ｃの表示チャンネルの変更の認識は、例えば、番組に重畳される放送局のロゴからチャンネルを特定し、これが変更されたかどうかで認識してもよいし、同時視聴サーバで各チャンネルの番組の画像情報および音声情報を取得し、それぞれのチャンネルの画像および音声とマッチングをとってチャンネルを特定し、表示チャンネルが変更されたかどうかを認識してもよい。 The simultaneous viewing server recognizes the change of the display channel of the display device C, for example, by identifying the channel from the logo of the broadcasting station superimposed on the program and recognizing whether or not this has been changed. Then, the image information and audio information of the program of each channel may be acquired, the channel may be specified by matching with the image and audio of each channel, and it may be recognized whether or not the display channel has been changed.
　〔実施形態５〕
　次に、表示装置にチューナが複数備えられ、表示画面を複数に分割して、複数の番組が同時に視聴可能な場合について説明する。 [Embodiment 5]
Next, a case will be described in which a plurality of tuners are provided in the display device, the display screen is divided into a plurality, and a plurality of programs can be viewed simultaneously.
　複数の番組が同時に視聴可能な場合、同時視聴と通常視聴とを並行して行ってもよい。この場合の画面例を図１５に示す。図１５に示す例では、領域１５１１に同時視聴の番組が表示されるとともに領域１５１１の下部分にコミュニケーションの内容が表示され、領域１５１３に通常視聴の番組が表示されている。これにより、同時視聴を楽しみつつ、通常視聴も行うことができる。 When multiple programs can be viewed simultaneously, simultaneous viewing and normal viewing may be performed in parallel. A screen example in this case is shown in FIG. In the example shown in FIG. 15, a simultaneously viewed program is displayed in an area 1511, communication contents are displayed in a lower part of the area 1511, and a normal viewed program is displayed in an area 1513. Thereby, normal viewing can be performed while enjoying simultaneous viewing.
