Description

The present invention relates to a program information server, a program information providing system, a program information providing method, and a portable terminal that acquire information related to a TV broadcast program, program advertisement, CM, and the like using a portable terminal such as a cellular phone.

  Conventionally, when a TV program is advertised, the TV program is advertised by placing an advertisement for the TV program on a paper medium such as a magazine or newspaper related to the TV program. Also, TV programs are advertised as part of TV broadcasts using TV broadcasts.

  When advertising TV programs using paper media, the listing of TV program advertisements on paper media is excellent, making it easy for viewers to visually grasp TV programs. . For example, when a viewer is interested in a television program posted on a paper medium and desires to view the television program, the viewer obtains the program start time and channel of the desired television program from the paper medium and obtains it. A desired television program is viewed using the program start time and channel.

  Specifically, the viewer stores the program start time and channel acquired from the paper medium, and when the program start time is reached, the TV channel is stored and the viewer selects the desired TV program. Can see. Alternatively, the viewer can make a recording reservation on the video tape recorder using the acquired program start time and channel, and the viewer can watch the desired recorded television program.

  As described above, when viewing at the actual program start time, it is necessary for the viewer to remember the program start time and channel together with the desired television program until the program start time. Recently, digital broadcasting has started, and there are many TV programs and there are many advertisements for TV programs, so viewers' interest in TV programs that they have become interested in fades with time, and TVs that have become interested once. I often forget the existence of the program itself.

  Then, when advertising a TV program to a viewer who watches at the actual program start time using a paper medium, even if the TV program is interested in the advertisement, the viewer forgets over time. However, there are many cases in which the TV program that interests the user once is not viewed, and the advertising effect of the TV program is low.

  In addition, when a viewer watches a desired recorded television program, a recording reservation is necessary, and this recording reservation is complicated. In order to solve this problem, there is a recording reservation device that can easily perform a recording reservation operation using a bar code or an identification number.

  However, since there are many channels and the number of TV programs is large, the viewer forgets the existence of the recorded desired TV program even if the viewer can make a reservation for recording the desired TV program. There is a problem that viewers often do not actually watch TV programs that are interested in the advertisements even though they have been recorded.

  Recently, there are large-capacity recording / playback devices such as DVD recorders that can record a large number of TV programs, and therefore, using this recording / playback device, reservations can be made for TV programs of interest each time. Can be considered.

  However, when a TV program with interest is recorded each time, the number of TV programs to be recorded is large. Therefore, when actually watching the TV program with interest, searching for the TV program is complicated. . For this reason, there is a problem that there are many cases where viewers do not actually watch TV programs that are interested in the advertisements even though they are recorded.

  In other words, when advertising TV programs using paper media, the listability of TV programs is excellent and it is easy for viewers to visually grasp TV programs, but the advertising efficiency of TV programs is poor. There's a problem.

  On the other hand, when advertising a TV program using TV broadcasting, there is an effect that a relatively large number of viewers can watch the TV program. However, because many of the TV programs that are broadcast during TV broadcasts have short broadcast times, even if the TV program that was advertised could interest a large number of viewers, In many cases, it cannot be stored in the viewer's memory. In addition, even if the TV program name or the like is stored, the viewer often cannot store the TV program start time and channel.

  In other words, when a TV program is promoted using TV broadcasting, a relatively large number of viewers can watch the TV program and can be interested in many viewers. In many cases, viewers cannot actually watch, and there is a problem that the advertising efficiency of the TV program is poor.

  As an invention related to the present invention, Patent Document 1 discloses a mobile phone or a PHS or other mobile communication terminal equipped with a character / image display unit and a television receiver / recording device remote controller integrated with each other. There is disclosed a communication system including a functional portable terminal and a database storing television program related information including a television broadcast program table and information related to the television broadcast program. Further, it is described that television program related information is displayed on the display unit of the high function portable terminal, and the television program can be selected efficiently by using the television program related information.

Further, in Patent Document 2, when a user selects or changes a television channel, a portable terminal transmits a radio signal related to channel selection to the television receiver, and the channel is selected or changed according to the selection or change. The mobile terminal transmits a program-related information acquisition request including user identification information or information on the current position and information on channel selection to the server, and when the mobile terminal receives the program-related information from the server, A program related information providing system for displaying the program related information on a display device of a portable terminal is disclosed. In addition, it is described that shopping or the like can be performed using program-related information received from the server.
However, although the techniques described in Patent Documents 1 and 2 can select a TV program and acquire information related to a TV program that is currently being broadcast, the advertisement of CMs and other programs that flow during the TV program broadcast. Since information on the level of broadcasting material such as commercials cannot be specified, viewers who are once interested in television programs related to these commercials cannot be linked to actual viewing behavior after that, and TV programs can be promoted efficiently. There is no problem.

  In addition, the organization information DB 350 that primarily aggregates the organization data output from the broadcasting station 500 and the program information DB 360 that primarily aggregates the program content data output from the broadcasting station 500 are stored in the main storage unit 306. Each database (number DB 310, CMDB 320, main program DB 330) is configured.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram schematically showing a partial section of program frame organization information 351 and Q (Cue) sheet organization information 352 in “XX television”.

FIG. 7 is a diagram conceptually showing information stored in the composition information DB 350.
The program frame organization information 351 is information for identifying a broadcast time frame of a broadcast program broadcast on “XX TV”. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, it includes information on “program ID”, “station ID”, “broadcast date”, “program start time”, and “program frame time”, and is created for each TV program. It is a table. “Station ID” is an ID that identifies a broadcasting station, and “Program ID” is an ID that identifies a program.

  For example, in the program frame organization information 351, “XX News” is set in the frame from 19:00 to 20:00 on February 19, 2004, and the frame from 20:00 to 20:05 is set. It is assumed that “XX trip” is set. In addition, since a program frame of a broadcast program may change due to an extension of sports broadcast or emergency news, a plurality of program organization patterns are created in advance as the program frame organization information 351. Is used. Normally, about 20 types of program organization patterns are created, but in the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, it is assumed that three types of program organization patterns 351a to 351c are created.

  The Q sheet organization information 352 is information for specifying a broadcast time frame of a broadcast program broadcast on “XX TV” by a level of CM or program advertisement time interval (set in seconds). Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, the Q sheet organization information 352 is information associated with the “program ID” of the program frame organization information 351, and includes “material name”, “material ID”, and “material”. It is a table that includes information on “start time”, “material frame time”, “material type”, and “telop information”, and is created in units of seconds. The “material name” is a name of a material that is a component within the frame of the broadcast time zone. “Material ID” is an ID given to each material, “Material start time” is the start time of the frame of each material, and “Material frame time” is the time of the frame of each material. is there. In “Material Type”, “Confirm” is information indicating that “Material Frame Time” is fixed, and “Auto” is changed according to the change of “Material Frame Time” immediately before. “Untime” is information indicating that the “material frame time” is changed by the untime information 354. “Telop information” is information indicating the presence of character information that flows during a program broadcast.

For example, as shown in FIG. 6 (2), “title”, “CM 1 to 5”, “main editions 1 and 2”, and “bansen (program advertisement) A to C” are included in the “XX news” frame. Are set, and “main part 1” and “local mission (broadcasting advertisement)” are set in the frame of “XX trip”. “Bansen A” is set in the frame of 19:02:15 to 19:02:30 on February 19, 2004 as a program advertisement for “XX Cooking Show”. “B” is set as a program promotion of “Drama XX” in the frame of 19:29:45 on February 19, 2004 to 19:30:00, and “Bansen C” It is assumed that the program advertisement of “Drama XX Samurai” is set in a frame of 19:59:30 on February 19, 2004 to 20:00:00.

  The frequency of changing the composition of CM and Banban is overwhelmingly high compared to the main part of the TV program, and there is a high possibility that it will be changed until just before the start of broadcasting. Also, in sports programs and news programs, manual material switching (untimed operation) is often performed with uncertain time including the main part. For this reason, since the Q sheet organization information 352 needs to be updated sequentially in real time in conjunction with the organization system of the broadcasting station 500, a plurality of material organization patterns are created in advance, like the program frame organization information 351. One of a plurality of material knitting patterns is used. Normally, about 20 material composition patterns are created. However, in the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, the material composition pattern is associated with the program ID “DR042513” of “XX News”. Three patterns 352a to 352c are created.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the organization information DB 350 is a database configured by associating Q sheet organization information 352 with “program ID” of the program frame organization information 351. In the organization information DB 350, a plurality of program organization patterns are created in advance, similarly to the program frame organization information 351. Normally, about 20 types of program organization patterns are created, but in the first embodiment, 9 types of organization patterns 350a to 350i are created. The knitting pattern 350d is a knitting pattern obtained by delaying each frame of the knitting pattern 350a by 30 minutes.

The playlist information 353 corresponds most to the change from the knitting patterns 350a to 350i when the broadcast time frame of a broadcast program, CM, program advertisement, etc. changes due to an extension of sports broadcast or emergency news. This is information for selecting a possible program pattern. Specifically, when the knitting pattern 350a is used, when the broadcast time frame of a broadcast program, CM, program advertisement, etc. changes due to an extension (for example, 30 minutes) of a sports broadcast broadcast program When the play list information 353 indicating that the organization pattern 350d is selected is input from the PlayList data server 506, the organization pattern 350d in which each frame is delayed by 30 minutes from the organization pattern 350a used immediately before the extension of the sports broadcast. Change to

  The untime information 354 is information for specifying the broadcast time of the time-indeterminate program material by manual switching. In the Q sheet organization information 352, “material frame” in which “untime” is set in the “material type” column. This is information for changing the “time”.

  For example, the broadcast time zone of “bansen A” (material name “XX cooking show”, material ID “BS045143”) set in the frame of 19:02:15 to 19:02:30 is 5 In the case of making a change that extends for 2 seconds, if an instruction for changing the extension for 5 seconds is manually input from any of the news report support system 502, the program production system 503, or the automatic program transmission device 507, the input device will receive the untime information. 354 is created, and the created untime information 354 is input to the real-time program information server 300, and the real-time program information server 300 changes the broadcast time zone of “No. A” to be extended by 5 seconds.

FIG. 8 is a diagram conceptually showing information stored in the program information DB 360.
The program basic information 361 is information including “program ID”, “program name”, “episode”, “EGP information”, and “video type”.

  “Episode” is an ID for specifying the number of stories (the XX story, etc.) in these programs in series programs and regular programs. “EGP information” is EGP information to be displayed on a digital television receiver defined by ARIB (Radio Industry Association) superimposed on television broadcast waves.

  The program advertisement information 362 is information including “program ID”, “program logo”, “banquet original”, “bansen photo”, and “bansen (material ID)”.

  The “program logo” is a logo mark representing a program, and is, for example, as shown in FIGS. 15 (2) and 16 (2). The “bansen manuscript” is a manuscript text for advertising the program. The “bansen photo” is a promotional photo of the program.

  The program material information 363 is information including “material ID”, “material name”, “material scale”, “audio mode”, and “angle of view”, and is a detailed item in the main part of the program shown in FIG. Or information specifying frame level items for commercials and program advertisements.

  The program metadata 364 is information including “in-material time”, “link destination”, “authentication”, and “link data”, and information for specifying a detailed item in the main part of the program shown in FIG. It is. For example, if the program is a drama, each scene in the drama in the main part of the program is specified at a predetermined interval, and each scene is specified by dividing it into items such as “main part scene 1” and “main part scene 2”. Information. In addition, if the program is a TV shop program, it is information for setting a predetermined item for each product introduced in the TV shop program in the main part of the program and specifying each product divided into the items.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram conceptually showing the number DB 310, the CMDB 320, and the program main part DB 330 stored in the main storage unit 306.

  As shown in FIG. 9, each of the numbering DB 310, the CMDB 320, and the main program DB 330 includes an organization information DB 350 that temporarily aggregates the organization data output from the broadcast station 500, and the program contents output from the broadcast station 500. It is composed of a program information DB 360 for temporarily collecting data. Information stored in the organization information DB 350 and the program information DB 360 is stored in each of the numbering DB 310, the CMDB 320, and the main program DB 330 in accordance with the contents of the material. Specifically, it is identified by the material ID. For example, “No. A” (material name “XX cooking show”, material ID “BS 045143”) shown in FIG. 6B is stored in the No. DB 310 because it is a program advertisement. Also, “CM1” shown in FIG. 6B (the material name “XX mobile company” and material ID “CM032715” in the Q sheet organization information 352 shown in FIG. 7) is a CM and is stored in the CMDB 320. Further, the “title” shown in FIG. 6B (the material name “XX News” and the material ID “TT042513” in the Q sheet organization information 352 shown in FIG. 7) is the title of the program, and is therefore stored in the main program DB 330. The Note that the “original program ID” of the program advertisement DB 310 is an ID for associating the program advertisement with the program associated with the program advertisement, whereby the program advertisement associated with the program advertisement can be associated with the program advertisement DB 310. The program information of the program related to the program advertisement can be extracted from the program.

  That is, the real-time program information server 300 aggregates various types of information output from the broadcasting station 500, and integrally associates the aggregated various types of information based on the program (event) ID and material ID. It is a server that updates in real time according to changes in

  In addition, the real-time program information server 300 stores the number DB 310, the CMDB 320, and the main program DB 330 for each of a plurality of regions, and based on the channel received from the mobile phone 200, the time, and the position information. It is a server that extracts program information from any one of the mission DB 310, the CMDB 320, and the main program DB 330.

Next, the operation of the program information providing system 1 will be described.
FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing a program reservation operation in the program information providing system 1.

  In the first embodiment, when a viewer is watching a normal TV program on the television receiver 100 using the remote control function of the mobile phone 200, program advertisement information being broadcast from the mobile phone 200 is displayed. The operation to acquire will be described.

  In order for the viewer to watch the TV program, the TV receiver 100 is turned on using the remote control function of the mobile phone 200 (S101). In this case, the viewer may manually turn on the television receiver 100.

  Using the remote control function of the mobile phone 200, the viewer presses the channel selection key 208a of the input unit 208 to select the channel of the television receiver 100 (S102). When the channel selection key 208a of the input unit 208 is pressed, the channel information related to the pressed channel selection key 208a is transmitted from the infrared transmission unit 203 to the television receiver 100, and the channel information related to the pressed channel selection key 208a is transmitted. The data is stored in the RAM 205b (S103). In the first embodiment, only the most recently pressed channel information is stored in the RAM 205b, but a predetermined number of channel selection history information may be stored in the RAM 205b.

  When the television receiver 100 receives channel information from the infrared transmission unit 203, the display of the television receiver 100 is switched based on the received channel information.

  A viewer who has selected a channel (for example, the X channel) with the mobile phone 200 receives a television broadcast of the television receiver 100 (for example, “XX News” shown in FIG. 6: 19:00 on February 19, 2004). When watching TV-20:00 broadcast), a program advertisement CM (for example, “Bansen A (“ XX Cooking Show ”)” shown in FIG. 6) that flowed during the television broadcast: February 19, 2004 Watching 19:02:15 to 19:02:30) and watching (or recording) the TV program of this program advertising CM (if interested), the viewer The program information acquisition key 208b of the mobile phone 200 is pressed (S104). If the channel using the mobile phone 200 has not been changed since the television receiver 100 started watching the television broadcast, the channel selection key is pressed before the program information acquisition key 208b is pressed. There is a need.

  When the program information acquisition key 208b is pressed, together with the most recently selected channel information (X channel) stored in the RAM 205b, program information acquisition request information for requesting program information acquisition, and the portable information stored in the RAM 205b. The user ID and position information of the telephone 200 are transmitted from the mobile communication unit 202 to the real-time program information server 300 (S105). In this case, it may be transmitted on the Web or may be transmitted using electronic mail. However, it is necessary to use a communication means that makes this transmission time accurate.

  When the real-time program information server 300 receives the channel information, the program information acquisition request information, the user ID and position information of the mobile phone 200 (S106), the received channel information, the program information acquisition request information, and the user ID of the mobile phone 200 are received. The received time (for example, 19:02:25 on February 19, 2004) is stored in the RAM 303b in association with the position information (S107). Subsequently, the material ID is extracted from the database stored in the main storage unit 306 based on the reception time, channel information, and position information stored in the RAM 303b (S108). Specifically, a station ID (for example, XX TV) is extracted from the numbering DB 310, the CMDB 320, and the main program DB 330 shown in FIG. 9 based on the received channel information “X channel” and position information. A material ID “BS045143” (item 310a) corresponding to the extracted station ID and the reception time (19:02:25 on February 19, 2004) is extracted.

  Subsequently, the program information stored in the database of the main storage unit 306 in association with the extracted material ID is acquired by the real-time program information server 300 based on the user ID of the mobile phone 200 received in S106. It transmits to the requested mobile phone 200 (S109). Specifically, each item of information 310a shown in FIG. 9 is transmitted.

  Also, viewing information in which the extracted material ID, channel information, user ID of the mobile phone 200, position information, and reception time are associated is stored in the viewing log of the viewing log DB 340 (S109). The viewing log DB 340 aggregates audience rating data based on viewing information stored in the viewing log. Further, the program information transmitted to the mobile phone 200 is associated with the user ID of the mobile phone 200 and stored in the control log of the viewing log DB 340 (S109).

  When the mobile phone 200 receives the program information (predetermined information) transmitted by the real-time program information server 300 (S110), the received program information is stored in the RAM 205b (S111), and an image such as a program logo included in the program information. Information is displayed on the display 206 (S112). For example, the channel, the program start date and time, and the program end date and time are displayed on the display 206 together with the program logo so that the viewer can easily recognize visually.

  Subsequently, using the recording reservation information of the channel, program start time, program end time, and program ID included in the received program information, recording for recording the TV program related to the received program information with the PVR 110 Reservation information is created, and the created recording reservation information is transmitted from the infrared transmission unit 203 to the PVR 110 (S113). When the PVR 110 receives the recording reservation information, the recording reservation is registered based on the received recording reservation information.

  Note that the ID of the PVR 110 is stored in the RAM 205b in advance, and in S105, the ID of the PVR 110 stored in the RAM 205b together with the channel information, the program information acquisition request information, the user ID of the mobile phone 200, and the position information are stored in the mobile communication. Recording information is transmitted from the unit 202 to the real-time program information server 300, and in S109, the program information is transmitted to the mobile phone 200 that has requested acquisition of the program information, and the PVR 110 based on the program information is reserved for recording. The real-time program information server 300 may transmit the created recording reservation information to the PVR 110 based on the ID of the PVR 110. In this case, the recording reservation operation from the mobile phone 200 to the PVR 110 may not be executed in S113. In this way, recording reservation of the PVR 110 can be easily performed even if there is no viewer who has the mobile phone 200 beside the PVR 110.

  Subsequently, the above operation is repeated (S102 to S113) while the viewer who has the mobile phone 200 is watching the television broadcast of the television receiver 100, and the remote control function of the mobile phone 200 is used to make the television receiver. When the power-off of 100 is instructed (S114), the process ends.

  When the real-time program information server 300 is requested to acquire program information from the mobile phone 200 via the Web, a time difference answer is executed without immediately sending an answer on the Web for the requested program information. The real time program information server 300 may transmit the program information to the mobile phone 200 by e-mail. Also, watch “XX News” (set to 19:00 to 20:00 on February 19, 2004) on TV receiver 100, and appear in each news in “XX News” The above-described control operation can be applied when acquiring detailed information about the incident to be performed. That is, by extracting a material ID that identifies each news item in “XX news” divided at predetermined intervals in the main part of the program, it appears in each news in the program metadata 364 shown in FIG. Get detailed information about each case (such as “link” and “file name” for each case). Further, the above-described control operation can be applied when a television shopping program is viewed on the television receiver 100 and detailed information about each product introduced in the television shopping program is acquired. In other words, by extracting the material ID for specifying the item set for each product introduced in the TV shop program in the main part of the program, detailed information about each product in the program metadata 364 shown in FIG. Acquire “link destination”, “file name”, etc.) related to the contents of each product. In addition, when the drama program is viewed on the television receiver 100 and detailed information or the like about a person or an object appearing in each scene in the program is acquired, the above control operation can be applied. That is, by extracting the material ID that identifies the item of each scene in the drama divided at predetermined intervals in the main part of the program, the people and objects appearing in each scene in the program metadata 364 shown in FIG. Detailed information (“link destination”, “file name”, etc. relating to people and things) is acquired.

  FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing the program reservation update operation in the program information providing system 1.

  The control unit 303 periodically monitors the number DB 310, the CMDB 320, and the main program DB 330 stored in the main storage unit 306, and monitors whether any database is updated (S201). . If there is an update in any of the databases, such as when the broadcast time frame for broadcast programs, commercials, program advertisements, etc. changes due to extended sports broadcasts or emergency news, etc. S201), the updated data is acquired from the updated database (S202).

  The acquired data is compared with the data before acquisition stored in the control log of the viewing log DB 340, and only the updated portion is extracted from the acquired data (S203).

  Subsequently, the extracted portion is transmitted as difference information to the mobile phone 200 stored in the control log in association with the portion extracted from the acquired data (S204). In addition, the extracted portion is updated with respect to the data before acquisition stored in the control log.

  The control unit 205 of the mobile phone 200 periodically monitors whether or not the difference information is received from the real-time program information server 300 (S205). If the difference information is received from the real-time program information server 300, it is stored in the RAM 205b. The program information related to the received difference information is updated in the program information being received (S206). Subsequently, the fact that the program information has been updated is displayed (S207).

  Specifically, image information such as a program logo included in the updated program information is displayed on the display 206 (S207). For example, along with the program logo, channel, the changed program start date and time, and the changed program end date and time, a message “The broadcasting time of“ XX cooking show ”has been changed” is displayed on the display 206 and viewed. Make it easier for a person to visually recognize changes.

  Subsequently, using the recording reservation information of the channel, the program start time, the program end time, and the program ID included in the updated program information, the infrared transmission unit 203 transmits the TV program related to the updated program information to the PVR 110. The recording reservation information for reservation is transmitted (S208). Along with this transmission, the recording reservation deletion information for deleting the recording reservation registered before the update is created based on the program ID, the created recording reservation deletion information is transmitted, and the recording reservation registered before the update is deleted. You may make it do. When the PVR 110 receives the recording reservation information, the recording reservation is registered based on the received recording reservation information.

  When the real-time program information server 300 transmits the recording reservation information to the PVR 110 in S109 shown in FIG. 10, the difference information is transmitted to the mobile phone 200 and the PVR 110 based on the updated program information is reserved for recording. Recording reservation information for creating the recording reservation information, and the real-time program information server 300 transmits the created recording reservation information to the PVR 110 based on the ID of the PVR 110. Simultaneously with this transmission, the recording reservation deletion information for deleting the recording reservation registered before the update may be transmitted to delete the recording reservation registered before the update.

FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing the reserved program viewing operation in the program information providing system 1.
This control operation is an operation in the case where a viewer who has the mobile phone 200 views “OO cooking show” in an actual broadcast time zone.

  Based on the program information stored in the RAM 205b, it is determined whether or not a predetermined time (for example, 2 hours) before the program start time of “XX cooking show” included in the program information has been reached (S301). ) If the specified time has been reached, the image logo included in the program information and “Two hours before the program start time of“ XX Cooking Show ”. , Press the delete key 208c ”message on the display 206 so that the viewer who has the mobile phone 200 can watch the“ Cooking Show ”broadcast at the actual broadcast time. Notification is made (S302). Further, the CPU 205a generates a voice message “Two hours before the program start time of“ XX cooking show ””, outputs the generated voice message from the speaker 207, and notifies the voice together with the image display. Also good.

  In addition, you may make it display at a predetermined space | interval before the predetermined time before the program start time of "XX cooking show". For example, it is performed at intervals of 1 hour from 3 hours ago, such as 1 hour ago, 2 hours ago, and 3 hours ago.

  Subsequently, when the notification operation is executed (S302), it is determined whether or not the delete key 208c is pressed (S303). If the delete key 208c is pressed during the notification operation, the notification operation is performed. The program information being executed is deleted from the RAM 205b. By doing in this way, when the viewer who possesses the mobile phone 200 loses interest in the notified “OO cooking show”, the subsequent notification can be stopped. Note that when the delete key 208c is pressed during execution of the notification operation, the recording reservation deletion information for canceling the recording reservation of the PVR 110 related to the program information for which the notification operation is being executed may be transmitted to the PVR 110. .

  Subsequently, when a predetermined time (for example, 20 seconds) elapses from the start of the notification operation, the notification operation is stopped (S304). Specifically, the display 206 is erased and the sound output from the speaker 207 is stopped. Note that the notification operation may be stopped by some key operation on the input unit 208.

  Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the program start time of “XX cooking show” has been reached (S305). When the program start time is reached, the image logo included in the program information and ““ XX cooking show ”are displayed on the display 206. To watch this, press the viewing key 208d so that the remote control signal reaches the television receiver 100. When canceling the recording reservation for “Cooking show” Please press the delete key 208c "message, and notify that the viewer who has the mobile phone 200 can watch the broadcast of“ Cooking Show ”during the actual broadcast time (S306). ). The voice message may be generated by the CPU 205a, and the generated voice message may be output from the speaker 207 and notified by voice together with the image display. Further, this notification may be made a predetermined time before the program start time of “XX cooking show” (for example, 5 minutes before). The predetermined time may be set in advance.

  Subsequently, when the notification operation is executed (S306), it is determined whether or not the viewing key 208d is pressed (S307). If the viewing key 208d is pressed during the notification operation, the notification operation is performed. Channel information related to the program information being executed is transmitted to the television receiver 100 (S308). Since the television receiver 100 may be turned off, the power-on information may be transmitted to the television receiver 100 by remote control before this transmission.

  Subsequently, the program information in which the viewing key 208d is pressed during the notification operation is deleted from the RAM 205b (S309).

  If the television receiver 100 is not present beside the viewer who has the mobile phone 200, the viewer cannot view the TV program notified by the mobile phone 200.

  However, since “OO cooking show” is recorded on the PVR 110, the viewer can view the “OO cooking show” recorded on the PVR 110 after the “OO cooking show” program ends.

  If the viewing key 208d is not pressed (S307) when the notification operation is being executed (S306), it is determined whether or not the delete key 208c is pressed (S310), and the delete key 208c is pressed. For example, the program information in which the delete key 208c is pressed during the notification operation is deleted from the RAM 205b (S309).

  When the notification operation is executed (S306), if the viewing key 208d is not pressed (S307) and the delete key 208c is not pressed (S310), after a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the notification operation (for example, 1 Minutes), the notification operation is stopped (S311). Specifically, the display 206 is erased and the sound output from the speaker 207 is stopped. Note that the notification operation may be stopped by some key operation on the input unit 208.

  By doing in this way, when the viewer who possesses the mobile phone 200 loses interest in the notified “OO cooking show”, the subsequent notification can be stopped. Note that when the delete key 208c is pressed during execution of the notification operation, the recording reservation deletion information for canceling the recording reservation of the PVR 110 related to the program information for which the notification operation is being executed may be transmitted to the PVR 110. .

  FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing the reserved program viewing operation in the program information providing system 1.

  This control operation is an operation in the case where a viewer who has the mobile phone 200 views what is recorded on the PVR 110 after the end of the “OO cooking show” broadcast.

  Based on the program information stored in the RAM 205b, it is determined whether or not the program end time of “OO cooking show” included in the program information has passed (S401), and the program end time of “OO cooking show” is determined. If it has elapsed, it is determined whether a predetermined time has elapsed (for example, 2 hours) after the program end time has elapsed (S402). If the predetermined time has elapsed after the program end time has elapsed, The image logo included in the program information and ““ ○○ Cooking Show ”are recorded on the PVR 110. To view this, the remote control signal reaches the TV receiver 100 and the PVR 110, and the viewing key 208d.
