Problems solved by technology

[0007] Moreover, due to the large increase in channels in recent years, programs of the order of hundreds or thousands are searched, so sometimes a large number of similar programs are retrieved, and it is not easy to find the program that the viewer wants to watch.

no. 1 Embodiment approach

[0085]

[0086] The program selection support device according to the present invention described in the first embodiment not only compares program genres (genres) and contents, etc., and performs similar judgments, but also considers the viewer's preference for the program, or the viewer's location, etc. Matters related to viewers, similar programs are searched and displayed.

[0087] The programs to be retrieved are programs that are scheduled to be broadcast and programs that have already been broadcast that can be viewed by a certain viewer.

[0088] Programs that are scheduled to be broadcast can be watched while they are being broadcast, or watched after scheduled recording, and programs that have already been broadcast can be viewed immediately when they are recorded by their own recording device, and even if there is no recording In this case, it is also possible to watch through rental video or the Internet.

[0089] Furthermore, in the present embodiment, a sectio...

no. 2 Embodiment approach

[0280]

[0281] The program selection support device according to the present invention described in the second embodiment does not compare program contents to determine similarity, but divides programs into categories and searches for similar programs using algorithms corresponding to each category.

[0282] That is to say, although the similarity judgment in this embodiment is based on the program information 9100, it is also a similarity judgment that reflects the category characteristics of the program according to the category to which the program belongs.

[0283] Furthermore, in the case of dividing into a plurality of categories, the type of program information may be used as a category, or other classification methods may be used.

[0284]

[0285] Use the following Figure 16 and Figure 17 , the program selection support device of this embodiment will be described.

[0286] Figure 16 It is a functional block diagram showing the configuration of the recording a...

Abstract

When searching for a program similar to the program specified by a viewer, a program selection support device searches for a similar program according to the program information such as a program content. Moreover, the program selection support device decides an algorithm for judging whether a program is similar according to the program view history of the user, personal information, other viewerevaluation, information added by a program creator, and the like or decides an algorithm whether a program is similar according to the category to which the specified program belongs and searches forand displays a program similar to the specified program by using the decided algorithm.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a technology for providing information that facilitates program selection when viewing broadcast programs and recorded programs, and more particularly to a technology for providing information on similar programs. Background technique [0002] In recent years, with the development of broadcasting technology, there are not only terrestrial broadcasting, but also CATV (Cable Television: cable TV), satellite broadcasting, etc., so a large number of channels are used to broadcast various programs, and, due to With the development of video recording technology, many programs are automatically recorded in large-capacity storage media. [0003] In such a situation where there are a large number of programs that can be viewed, there is a technology that can select the prompt and program based on information related to the program such as EPG (Electric Program Guide: Electronic Program Guide) transmitted simultaneously with the ...
