Abstract
Of the types of content included in a broadcast signal, a type of content different from broadcast content is selectively stored. A broadcast signal reception block receives a broadcast signal of a selected channel. A display control block controls such that broadcast content included in the broadcast signal received by the broadcast signal reception block is displayed on a display block. If storage content that is content identified to be stored is included in the broadcast signal received by the broadcast signal reception block, then a storage content output block outputs this storage content to a storage block.
Claims15
An information processing apparatus, comprising:
- a reception unit configured to receive a broadcast signal of a selected channel;
- a display control unit configured to control such that broadcast content included in a broadcast content received by said reception unit is displayed on a display unit;
- and
- a storage content output unit configured, if storage content identified to be stored that is different from said broadcast content is included in a broadcast signal received by said reception unit, to output said storage content to a storage unit.
An information processing system comprising:
- a broadcasting station;
- and
- a reception apparatus;
- said broadcasting station including
- a transmission unit configured to transmit a broadcast signal;
- and
- said reception apparatus including
- a reception unit configured to receive a broadcast signal of a selected channel that is at least a part of a broadcast signal transmitted from said broadcasting station,
- a display control unit configured to control such that broadcast content included in a broadcast signal received by said reception unit is displayed on a display unit, and
- a storage content output unit configured, if storage content identified to be stored that is different from said broadcast content is included in a broadcast signal received by said reception unit, to output said storage content to a storage unit.
An information processing method, comprising the steps of:
- receiving a broadcast signal of a selected channel;
- controlling such that broadcast content included in a broadcast content received by a reception unit is displayed on a display unit;
- and
- outputting, if storage content identified to be stored that is different from said broadcast content is included in a broadcast signal received by said reception unit, said storage content to a storage unit.
A television program broadcasting method, comprising processes of:
- organizing a television program to be broadcast such as storage content to be stored in an information processing apparatus used by a user is provided to a user along with a television program that is broadcast content produced by a broadcasting organization, said television program being related with said storage content;
- and
- transmitting a broadcast signal of an organized television program;
- said storage content being transmitted a plurality of times during broadcasting of a television program that is said broadcast content.
(canceled)
A non-transitory, computer-readable information storage media storing a program, which operates to cause a computer to function as:
- a reception unit configured to receive a broadcast signal of a selected channel;
- a display control unit configured to control such that broadcast content included in a broadcast content received by said reception unit is displayed on a display unit;
- and
- a storage content output unit configured, if storage content identified to be stored that is different from said broadcast content is included in a broadcast signal received by said reception unit, to output said storage content to a storage unit.
