Embodiment Construction

[0028] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below under the following headings:

[0029] 1. System structure

[0030] 2. Broadcast receiving device

[0031] 3. Server

[0032] 4. Program related information service

[0033] 5. Processing operations

[0034] 1. System structure

[0035] FIG. 1 conceptually shows a typical structure of an information providing system embodying the present invention by realizing a program-related information service.

[0036] A broadcast receiving apparatus 1 owned by a user (such as a viewer) in FIG. 1 is typically installed at home, and is connected to an antenna 3 for receiving broadcast waves.

[0037] The broadcast station 4 transmits broadcast waves representing TV programs. The transmission of the broadcast station 4 is not limited to any particular form; the transmission may be an analog terrestrial broadcast, analog satellite broadcast, digital satellite broadcast or digital terrestrial broadcast. Trans...

Abstract

A broadcast receiving apparatus is disclosed which allows a broadcasting system not addressing data broadcasts to offer an information-providing service equivalent to what is typically offered in conjunction with data broadcasting. When a user watching a TV program on a channel performs operations to store a scene of the program, the apparatus generates and holds scene information made up at least of information about the channel and of current time information, before transmitting the scene information to a server apparatus. On receiving the scene information, the server apparatus searches for program-related information such as URLs corresponding to the received information and transmits the acquired information using e-mail to a predetermined device (PC, mobile phone) owned by the user.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an information providing system for providing viewers with information on a broadcast program such as a guide, and also relates to a broadcast receiving device and a server device constituting the information providing system. Background technique [0002] In recent years, one has witnessed the increasing reception of so-called digital broadcasts containing digital broadcast TV programs by using broadcast or communication satellites. Several projects are also underway to enable digital terrestrial broadcasting in the near future. [0003] These digital broadcasts are capable of transmitting not only audio and video data, but also a wide variety of other data, such as control scripts for prompting users to make selections regarding the content of the TV program being broadcast. This enables a function called call-in TV programming, which allows viewers to participate in the broadcast in a two-way manner. Some technique...
