A broadcasting method for transmitting a broadcasting signal including contents of a program by a broadcasting station apparatus and receiving the broadcasting signal including the contents of the program by a broadcasting system receiver, wherein
- organization of all broadcasting scheduled programs to be broadcasted within a predetermined time period from a date of transmission of said broadcasting signal is defined on or before the date of transmission of said broadcasting signal,
- each of said all broadcasting scheduled programs within said predetermined time period is given a first program identifier for identifying the broadcasting scheduled program on or before the date of transmission of said broadcasting signal,
- each of broadcasting scheduled programs that are provisionally determined to be broadcasted after said predetermined time period is given a second program identifier for identifying the broadcasting scheduled program,
- said method comprising:
- transmitting the broadcasting signal by said broadcasting station apparatus;
- generating first program information that includes the first program identifier and organization information relating to organization of the broadcasting scheduled program and that relates to each of said all broadcasting scheduled programs within said predetermined time period in said broadcasting station apparatus;
- transmitting the generated first program information by said broadcasting station apparatus;
- generating second program information that includes the second program identifier and organization information relating to organization of the broadcasting scheduled program, does not include the first program identifier, and relates to each of said provisionally determined broadcasting scheduled programs in said broadcasting station apparatus;
- transmitting the generated first program information from said broadcasting station apparatus or storing the generated first program information in a predetermined server connected to the Internet by said broadcasting station apparatus;
- adding, after an elapse of time, when organization of a provisionally determined broadcasting scheduled program is defined, a first program identifier to the second program information relating to the provisionally determined broadcasting scheduled program, and changing the organization information included in the second program information relating to the provisionally determined broadcasting scheduled program to the organization information relating to the defined organization, thereby changing the second program information relating to the provisionally determined broadcasting scheduled program to first program information in said broadcasting station apparatus;
- transmitting the changed first program information by said broadcasting station apparatus;
- receiving the broadcasting signal transmitted from said broadcasting station apparatus and the first program information transmitted from said broadcasting station apparatus in said broadcasting system receiver;
- acquiring the second program information transmitted from said broadcasting station apparatus or acquiring the second program information stored in said predetermined server through the Internet in said broadcasting system receiver;
- accumulating the received first program information and the acquired second program information in said broadcasting system receiver;
- reserving the broadcasting scheduled program on the basis of the accumulated first program information by said broadcasting system receiver, and reserving the provisionally determined broadcasting scheduled program on the basis of the accumulated second program information by said broadcasting system receiver;
- storing the first program information by said broadcasting system receiver when the broadcasting scheduled program to be broadcasted within said predetermined period is reserved, and storing the second program information by said broadcasting system receiver when the provisionally determined broadcasting scheduled program is reserved;
- replacing, after the provisionally determined broadcasting scheduled program is reserved, then after an elapse of time, when the first program information that includes a same second program identifier as the second program identifier included in the second program information relating to the reserved broadcasting scheduled program is received, the stored second program information with the received first program information by said broadcasting system receiver;
- and
- outputting a broadcasting scheduled program corresponding to the broadcasting scheduled program reserved by said broadcasting system receiver on a basis of the first program identifier in the stored first program information.
