Embodiment Construction

[0020] Embodiments of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0021] FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating an exemplary structure of a hard disk recorder 1 . This hard disk recorder 1 can record a large number of pictures in a HDD (Hard Disk Drive) 26 having a large amount, and can accurately grasp the user's wishes, and reflect the wishes in saving and managing the recorded pictures. It should be noted that the hard disk recorder 1 can be equipped as an audio-visual device, but also with eg a television receiver, such as a set top box (STB).

[0022] Broadcast waves received by an antenna not shown in the figure are supplied to the tuner 11 . The broadcast wave is based on a predetermined format and may include, for example, an EPG (Electronic Program Guide). The broadcast electric wave may be a satellite broadcast electric wave, a terrestrial wave, wired or wireless, ie, no specific distinction is made between them.

Abstract

In a first step, contents scheduled in the "past" of a virtual channel are extracted, in a second step one of the contents is selected, in the event that judgment is made in a third step that the contents are not in a playable state the flow proceeds to a seventh step but in the event that judgment is made that the contents are in a playable state judgement is made in a fourth step whether the corresponding contents have already been scheduled n times (n being a number for sufficient opportunity for viewing or listening) in the future. In the event that the number is less than n times, the contents are placed in the future at the time of the next scheduling in a fifth step, but in the event that the number is n times, in a sixth step the contents are set in a state to be deleted. In the event that judgment is made in the seventh step that processing of the all of the extracted contents has not been completed, the flow returns to the second step, but in the event that judgment is made that all processing has been completed, the flow ends. Thus, contents regarding which the user has no interest are automatically deleted.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a recording / playing device and a content management method, more specifically, to a method that can provide users with sufficient opportunities to watch or listen to content, and can automatically delete only content that is really unnecessary for the user, that is, can accurately reflect the user's A recording / playback device and a content management method for wishing and thereby managing content. Background technique [0002] With conventional recording / playback apparatuses, a user who manages recorded program (content) data has to personally select unnecessary data and delete the data. [0003] In addition, increasing the capacity of a recording medium such as a hard disk means that a large amount of content can be stored. [0004] Therefore, in the case where the user cannot memorize the mass-stored content, it is no longer possible for the user to easily select unnecessary content, so that opera...
