[0081] As shown in FIG. 1 , the program recording system in the first embodiment includes a recorder 1 and a remote controller 100 .

[0082] The recorder 1 receives output signals of a plurality of transponders (repeaters) through an antenna 2 . The tuner 3 selects one of the signals received by the antenna 2 and sends the selected signal to a transport decoder 4 . The transport decoder 4 selects one of the channels contained in the signal. Typically, programs of 4 to 6 channels are contained in the output signal (transport stream). Also, the transport decoder 4 separates video signals, audio signals, and SI (service information) from the signal of the selected channel (hereinafter referred to as "channel 1"), and outputs the video and audio signals to the AV decoder 5 . SI contains the event information table (EIT) of each program of the channel.

[0083] EIT is a table in which information of each event (program) is described. In this embodiment, EIT is used as informa...

[0100] In this embodiment, the recorder 1 and the remote controller 100 shown in FIG. 7 are used as the recorder and the remote controller of the program recording system.

[0101] In the recorder 1, an AV decoder 5A is used as a recording device 5, and a hard disk drive (HDD) 8A is used as a recording medium on which a program is recorded. The RAM 11 is used as holding means 7, and recording reservation information is held on a management table in the RAM 11. The recorder 1 can use the infrared interface 12 or the communication network interface 13 to communicate with the remote controller 11 . The communication network interface is an interface using a communication network such as a public telephone network, a mobile communication network, and the Internet. The recorder 1 is provided with a CPU 104 and a ROM 15, and the CPU 104 executes various programs stored in the ROM 15 to perform various functions. When the CPU 104 executes various programs, (functions of) the updati...

[0166] In the case of a program to which a recording reservation has been added as described above, the recording medium 8 on which the program is recorded is not always reserved (storage capacity) for the program to which the recording reservation has been added. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 23 , the remote controller 100 in this embodiment includes a comparing means 110 . The comparing means 110 compares the recording capacity required for recording a program to be additionally reserved for recording with the remaining capacity of a recording medium on which a program has been recorded, and displays the comparison result on the display 103.

[0167] In this embodiment, the recording control device M manages the remaining capacity of the recording medium 8 . By subtracting from the total capacity of the recording medium 8 the capacity of an area on which a program has been recorded (hereinafter referred to as "recorded capacity") and the capacity occupied for recording a progr...

Abstract

Due to the limitation of the display area set on a mobile phone or a remote controller, even if a program list is displayed based on EPG information, the program browsability is usually not enough, and it is likely that the user may Miss the show. In the case where the user updates the recording reservation information of a program reserved for recording using the mobile phone of the present invention, the mobile phone acquires the recording reservation information and the broadcast schedule information, and displays the recording reservation information and the broadcast schedule information difference between. Thus, the user can easily and reliably find out a change in the broadcast schedule, and make updated items of content match the change.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a program recording system for recording broadcast programs, and also relates to a remote controller, a method and a program for remote control. Background technique [0002] Television broadcasting via satellite, ground wave, etc. is being digitized. Digitization of broadcasting allows increasing the number of channels. As the number of channels increases, the number of programs available for user selection also increases. However, it is becoming more and more difficult for users to select programs only by changing channels. Thus, for example, in digital BS broadcasting, electronic program guide information (hereinafter referred to as "EPG information") is multiplexed on a television signal together with video and audio signals, etc., to transmit the EPG information. The EPG information shows a schedule of broadcast programs, and the broadcast receiver displays a program schedule on a monitor based on the EPG inform...
