Problems solved by technology

However, downloading of packaged content usually takes a very long time until the completion of the download of multiple contents in the package.
Therefore, even if you want to watch other individual contents while downloading packaged contents, you may have to wait for a long time

Embodiment 1

[0041] The system structure, method and program of the present invention are shown below. As an operation of the most appropriate download (DL) control, an embodiment in consideration of the viewing period will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0042] This embodiment can pass figure 1 The functional block diagram shows the main features. In the content processing device 100 , when the DL execution control unit 121 receives a notification of the addition of new content to be downloaded, the DL execution control unit 121 registers the notified content as content to be downloaded. Next, including the registered contents to be downloaded, the priority order of download execution is calculated in consideration of the license information of each content. Next, when the content to be executed for download specified by the calculated priority is different from the content currently being downloaded, the content to be executed for download is changed to the content speci...

Embodiment 2

[0071] Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0072] In the above-mentioned first embodiment, when the permission information such as the viewing period is changed, the priority order of download execution is recalculated, and the execution target of the download is immediately changed according to the recalculated priority order. However, it may happen that the order of priority for recomputation is not immediately applied due to progressive playback, confirmation of contents information, and the like. Here, in this embodiment, after the recalculation of the priority order, notification means such as pop-up and LED lighting are used to notify whether the content to be downloaded is changed or not to confirm whether the user agrees.

[0073] The structure of this embodiment is the same as that of the above-mentioned first embodiment.

[0074] Next, the operation of the system of this embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings....

Embodiment 3

[0083] Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0084] In the first embodiment described above, only the remaining time until the viewing deadline is used as permission information in the priority calculation of the DL execution unit 121 .

[0085] Other license information, usage status of content, and user's own priority criteria can also be applied as conditions for determining the order of priority. Here, in this embodiment, by using a plurality of these conditions, it is possible to calculate a more detailed order of priority. In addition, as permission information other than the viewing period, there are conceivable examples of the reproduction period for determining the reproduction of the content, the elapsed time from the purchase of the downloaded content, and the like.

[0086] The structure of this embodiment is the same as that of the above-mentioned first embodiment.

[0087] Next, the operation of the system of this embodiment wil...

Abstract

Having received an addition notification of a piece of download content, a content processing apparatus registers the notified content as a piece of download-scheduled content. The apparatus recalculates the priority rank of the download execution by taking into consideration a change in the license information on each piece of content, including a piece of already-preregistered download-scheduled content and a piece of content whose download is underway at present. If the download-execution target content specified by the recalculated priority rank is different from the content whose download is underway at present, the apparatus changes the download-execution target to the content specified by the priority rank.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a content processing device and a content processing method for downloading content from an external server through a network. Background technique [0002] In recent years, devices with a network connection function have been increasing among household electrical products such as televisions and tape recorders. Among such devices, there are many devices capable of acquiring and viewing video content via a network. There are two ways of using the Internet to obtain content you like and use it when you like it. [0003] One is called streaming, and is a method of directly reproducing content obtained from the Internet without saving it. It can be realized as long as the minimum buffer memory for data reception is installed in the device, and playback can be started immediately after specifying the content, which is characterized by ease of use. [0004] Another method is called downloading, which is a method of storin...
