  The present invention relates to a recording method and a recording apparatus for recording video information such as a program broadcast through a broadcast station and a commercial message (hereinafter referred to as “CM”).

  With the spread of television broadcasting such as terrestrial broadcasting and satellite broadcasting in recent years, program recording apparatuses for recording and playing back broadcast programs of television broadcasting have become widespread. Conventionally, most of the video recording devices record video signals and audio signals on a tape medium or the like. However, with the development of digital signal processing technology, broadcast programs are recorded on a recording medium (recording medium) such as a hard disk or an optical disk. Program recorders that record digital signals have also appeared. In general, the program recording device has a built-in timer device and the like, and has a recording reservation function for automatically recording a program by specifying a date and time in advance.

For this recording reservation, it is necessary for the user himself / herself to set the date and time when the desired broadcast program is broadcast in the timer device or the like. As a method for reducing the burden on the user, for example, the user selects a desired program based on electronic program guide information (Electronic Program Guide information: hereinafter referred to as “EPG information”) provided through the Internet or the like. Thus, there is known a recording reservation method or the like in which the date and time data corresponding to the program recording apparatus is automatically fetched and the date and time data is automatically set as the recording date and time (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

It is a functional block diagram which shows the structure of a video recording apparatus.
As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, this recording reservation system includes information between a program information service site 3 as a broadcast information providing server and a recording device 5 connected to the program information service site 3 through a network. Through this exchange, it is possible to pre-record video information broadcast through a broadcasting station. The recording device 5 is installed in a residence 10 where a user 18 resides, and is connected to an antenna 12 that receives TV (television) broadcast waves through a coaxial cable. The recording device 5 is also connected to the television 2 by an analog wired cable. A remote controller 9 attached to the recording device 5 can control the operation of the recording device 5 by infrared communication. The recording device 5 is connected to, for example, a home LAN (Ethernet (registered trademark) or the like), and is connected to the Internet 7 via a network device such as an ADSL modem 6.

  On the other hand, a program information service site 3 that provides a broadcast information service is connected to the Internet 7 and is connected via the Internet 7 to a recording device 5 at a user's home that has made a contract for using the program information service. A related website 8 that provides broadcast schedule information related to the user-specified keyword to the program information service site 3 is connected to the Internet 7.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the program information service site 3 comprehensively controls the transmission / reception unit 14 that exchanges information with other communication devices via the Internet 7, the storage unit 28 that stores various types of information, and each unit. And a control unit 15 that performs the above process. In the storage unit 28, scenes associated with the EPG information 19, the user-specified keyword list 20, the related website search information 21, and the video type corresponding keyword (search keyword described later) corresponding to the type of video information. A search keyword list 23 and a user-specified keyword corresponding program table 22 as broadcast guide information which is a database different from the EPG information 19 are stored.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the recording device 5 is a recording device such as a DVD / HDD recorder for recording video information broadcasted through a broadcasting station, such as reception of broadcast information to be recorded, user-specified keywords, etc. A transmission / reception unit 35 for transmitting the image, an input operation unit 38 for inputting control information from the remote controller 9 operated by the user 18, an output of video information to the television 2, and an output of notification information to the user 18. An information output unit 34 that performs the processing, an image processing unit 39 that performs processing for embedding scene detection information such as chapters in the video information, and the like, and a control unit 37 that comprehensively controls each unit.

  Next, the related Web site search information 21 will be described with reference to FIG. Here, FIG. 4 shows a table structure of the related Web site search information 21. As shown in the figure, the related website search information 21 is configured to correspond to a plurality of user-specified keywords, and further has a table structure in which a plurality of related websites 8 are associated. The structure of each table includes the URL of the related Web site 8, the type of video such as whether the video information is a general program or a CM, a plurality of search keywords (video type-corresponding keywords) used when searching, etc. Are associated with each other.

  The user-specified keyword corresponding program table 22 will be described with reference to FIG. Here, FIG. 5 shows the table structure of the user-specified keyword corresponding program table 22. As shown in the figure, the user-specified keyword-corresponding program table 22 has a configuration in which a plurality of program broadcast schedule information 22a, 22b,... Are associated with one keyword in the user-specified keyword list 20. Individual program broadcast schedule information is composed of program type, management number, scheduled broadcast date and time, start / end time, channel, program title, genre, program description information, and the like as constituent elements. Further, a scene search keyword list 23 used in scene search in the recording device 5 is associated with each program broadcast schedule information. The scene search keyword list 23 is composed of a plurality of program broadcast information-corresponding scene search keyword lists 23a and 23b, which are further composed of a plurality of scene search keywords.

Next, the recording target broadcast information 40, which is transmitted from the program information service site 3 to the recording device 5 and is searched based on the user-specified keyword, will be described with reference to FIG. Here, FIG. 6 is a diagram showing the format of the data portion of the recording target broadcast information 40.
The recording target broadcast information 40 is divided into tables for each user-specified keyword. The number of related programs to be reserved for recording is followed by the broadcast information of each program. The management No. in this format is a management number uniquely assigned by the program information service site 3 in units of user-specified keywords, and the target program has already been reserved on the recording device side based on this management number, or It is possible to determine whether recording has been completed and to add a recording reservation only to a new program. In addition, the recording target broadcast information 40 can avoid duplication of reserved recording when the same content such as CM is repeatedly broadcast. The control flag is flag information for causing the recording device to change the airing time or the like or delete the reservation. When the recording device 5 receives a message on the program information service site 3 side that has set a flag for deleting a reservation on the program information service site 3 side due to the completion of the broadcast, the management number for this program stored in the recording device 5 is also set. Deleted. As for the management number of programs except for CMs and the like in which the same content is repeatedly broadcasted, this program that has been stored if it is a program corresponding to the type in the format at the time when the scheduled recording is completed on the recording device 5 side. Management No. for Can also be deleted. In this case, even if the recording device 5 receives a message including program broadcast information of a program that has been broadcast due to the processing timing on the program information service site 3 side, the recording device 5 has passed the broadcast time. It is possible to cope with this by not processing the broadcast information of the program.

Next, a basic operation related to recording reservation by the program information service site 3 and the recording device 5 will be described based on the flowchart shown in FIG.
As a premise, the user 18 has completed user registration and device registration under the program information service usage contract, and the recording device 5 logs in to the program information service site 3 (the server that provides the service) and communicates. Assume that it is in a possible state.
First, a user-specified keyword list 20 is transmitted from the program information service site 3 in response to a request from the recording device 5 through an operation of the remote controller 9 by the user 18 (S1). The received contents of the user-specified keyword list 20 are displayed as keyword candidates on the TV screen (S2), and the user selects a keyword that suits his / her preference (S3).

  The recording device 5 makes a registration request as a user-specified keyword to the program information service site 3 side (S4), and the user-specified keyword is registered on the program information service site 3 side corresponding to the user ID (S1 above). The user-specified keyword list 20 is managed in advance on the program information service site 3 side, and is updated by the administrator of the program information service site 3 in a timely manner. On the program information service site 3 side, separately from the EPG information 19, a user-specified keyword corresponding program table 22 is created and updated periodically.

  This user-specified keyword corresponding program table 22 publishes broadcast information extracted by searching for EPG information by the user-specified keyword (S5) and broadcast schedule information such as programs and CMs related to the user-specified keyword. After matching the broadcast information obtained by searching the existing website 8 (S6) so as not to overlap (S7), it is created / updated (S8). In addition, in the program table 22 corresponding to the user-specified keyword, broadcast schedule information explicitly provided from the information provider 11 (see FIG. 1) such as a talent office, a broadcasting station, or a general user is managed in the program information service site 3. It is also possible for a person to create additional information (S9).

  Next, the program information service site 3 regularly transmits a set of broadcast schedule information and scene search keywords corresponding to each broadcast information to the recording device 5 (S10). After receiving the information on the recording device 5 side and confirming the presence / absence of new information from the scheduled broadcast information (S11), if there is new information, the recording device 5 obtains information necessary for reserved recording. Processing to be added to the main body is performed (S12). After that, for the recorded title for which the scheduled recording has been completed, the corresponding scene search keyword is used to detect a video scene related to the user-specified keyword by scene search to which voice recognition technology or the like is applied, and a chapter is added to the detection portion. Create (S13). Next, the recording device 5 automatically records new video information related to the user-specified keyword by causing the user 18 to display, for example, an LED provided on the front panel of the recording device 5 through the information output unit 34. Notify that

  In the recording device 5, for example, in the recorded title list displayed on the screen of the television 2, the recorded title automatically recorded on the screen is “automatically recorded”. "Mark indicating that", "Related user-specified keyword", and "Mark indicating presence / absence of chapter created by scene search" are displayed together with information such as program title name, channel, and recording date. When the user 18 selects a program automatically recorded by the recording device 5 on the recorded title list display and starts viewing, the user 18 jumps to the chapter position and plays it as necessary, thereby easily specifying the user. Viewing can be performed from the video scene related to the keyword (S14).

Next, the process of creating the user-specified keyword corresponding program table 22 by the program information service site 3 will be described based on the flowchart shown in FIG.
First, when there is a user-specified keyword list 20 (YES in S21), a predetermined one user-specified keyword is selected from the user-specified keyword list 20 (S22), and a search with EPG information is performed (S23). ). If there is a hit (YES in S24), broadcast schedule information of all video information is added (registered) to the user-specified keyword corresponding program table 22 (S34). At this time, the user-specified keyword is registered together as a scene search keyword (S35).

  On the other hand, if the search in the EPG does not hit (NO in S24), the presence / absence of the URL (Uniform Resource Locator) of the related Web (World Wide Web) site 8 is checked in the table of the related Web site search information 21. Confirmation is made (S25), and if there is none (NO in S25), the process proceeds to selection of the next user-specified keyword (to S21). If there is a URL of the related website 8, a search dictionary corresponding to the type of program (general program or CM) is selected (S 26), and the search keyword of the related website 8 is used (S 27). The page content of the URL is searched (S28). If the search keyword is hit (YES in S29), information such as the broadcast date / time, channel, program title, etc., as the constituent elements of the broadcast information of the program, etc., from the text information of the page, the words in the search dictionary If a match is found, the corresponding part is cut out to extract program broadcast information components (S30).

  If the program broadcast schedule information can be extracted as a result of the search, it is determined from the broadcast date and time, the channel, and the program title whether it has already been registered in the user-specified keyword compatible program table (S31). If there is no registration (NO in S31), then the type of program is confirmed (S32). If the type is not CM or the like (NO in S32), it is confirmed from the broadcast date and time, the channel, and the program title whether there is a target program in the EPG information 19 (S33).

If there is a corresponding program in the EPG information 19 (YES in S33), information obtained from the EPG as program broadcast schedule information is added to the user-specified keyword corresponding program table (S34 above). At that time, the user-specified keyword is registered as a keyword for scene search (S35). When the type is CM or the like (YES in S32), the broadcast schedule information of the CM obtained by searching the related website 8 is added (registered) to the user-specified keyword corresponding program table 22 (S36). At this time, the search keyword (video type corresponding keyword) of the related Web site 8 is registered as a scene search keyword (S37).
Thereafter, the presence / absence of URL information of the related Web site to be searched next is confirmed (S25), and the same processing is repeated until there are no remaining user-specified keywords (NO in S21).

Next, recording reservation processing by the recording device 5 will be described based on the flowchart shown in FIG.
The recording device 5 periodically inquires of the program information service site 3 whether there is program broadcast information (broadcast schedule information) related to the user-specified keyword (S51). If it is determined from the response from the program information service site 3 that there is program broadcast information (YES in S52), an information request message is transmitted to the program information service site 3 to search the program broadcast information and scenes corresponding to each program. A response message consisting of a set of keywords is received (S53), and the recording reservation information is updated (S54).

Furthermore, the video scene detection processing by the recording device 5 will be described based on the flowchart shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 8, after the recording of the reserved program corresponding to the user-specified keyword is completed, a scene search keyword (see FIG. 6) corresponding to the recorded title is selected (S61), and the voice recognition technology or image is timely selected. A scene search using a telop recognition technique or the like is performed (S62). When a video scene matching the scene search keyword is detected (YES in 63), if the content type (video information type) is other than CM (NO in 64), a chapter is created at the detection position (S66). . On the other hand, when the content type is, for example, CM (YES at 64), the boundary of the previous CM is detected by applying a silent detection technique or the like by going back an appropriate time, for example, 15 seconds from the detection position (S65), A chapter is created at that position (S66 above).

Therefore, in the recording reservation system of the present embodiment, the service manages broadcast information such as programs and CMs that cannot be selected by searching for EPG information by specifying a user-specified keyword such as a desired talent name. That is, when a program or CM related to the user-specified keyword is searched, the searched broadcast information or the like is provided to the recording device 5 so that the recording device 5 cannot find the program only by EPG information. In addition, video information (video content) suitable for the user's preference can be automatically reserved and recorded including CMs and the like.
Further, in this embodiment, by providing an appropriate video scene search keyword from the program information service site 3 side to the recording device 5, when the one to be recorded is a CM or the like, that is, in the automatically recorded title. Corresponding to the case where there is a possibility that a part unnecessary for the user other than the CM to be recorded may be included, a video scene of the recorded title is searched and a chapter is created at the detection position. Thereby, the user can easily find the video scene related to the user-specified keyword.

  In the recording reservation system of the present embodiment, the program information service site 3 associates the URL of the Web site 8 in which broadcast information such as related programs and CMs may be posted with each user-specified keyword. In addition, by regularly searching the Web site 8, broadcast information such as programs and CMs is collected, and the information is managed separately from the EPG information 19 as a program table corresponding to the user-specified keyword. As a result, broadcast information not included in the EPG information 19 can be provided to the recording device 5.

  In the present embodiment, the program information service site 3 includes a table in which search keywords are associated according to user-specified keywords and search target types, so that the types of video information to be searched for programs, CMs, and the like. Each time a search keyword (on the website) can be managed. This makes it possible to search for desired broadcast information for each type of video information related to the user-specified keyword.

  In the present embodiment, the following effects can also be obtained. In other words, the scheduled recording can be automatically performed based on the scheduled broadcast information transmitted from the program information service site 3, but considering the case of CM as an example, only one CM of about 15 seconds can be reserved for recording. It is considered that it is actually difficult to create broadcast information such as programs on the service site side and to make a reservation recording of one CM without an unnecessary part on the recording device side, and to some extent include CMs to be recorded. Broadcast information such as programs is created in a time width with a margin. Therefore, there is a possibility that the recording title automatically reserved and recorded includes a portion unnecessary for the user. Here, if it is possible to automatically detect which part in the recorded title is related to the user-specified keyword and present it to the user, the user can easily find the part that suits his / her preference. The recording device 5 of the embodiment needs to search for a video scene in a recorded title with an appropriate keyword by applying a voice recognition technology or a telop recognition technology. In addition, a keyword for searching for a video scene is not necessarily the same as a user-specified keyword, and an appropriate keyword differs depending on the type of program such as a program or CM. Therefore, in the recording reservation system of this embodiment, a table in which a scene search keyword is associated with each program broadcast information of the program guide corresponding to the user-specified keyword is provided from the program information service site 3 side to the recording device 5. Appropriate scene search keywords can be provided. As a result, it is possible to search for a video scene in a related recorded title and create a chapter at the detected position. Furthermore, it is possible to detect a boundary between a series of video scenes related to a user-specified keyword and delete unnecessary portions. Therefore, the user can easily find the video portion related to the user-specified keyword.

  Further, in the present embodiment, a unique management number is sequentially assigned to each reserved recording target program in units of user-designated keywords on the program information service site 3 side, and the reservation status and recording history by the management number are recorded on the recording device 5 side. Since the recording device 5 receives the broadcast schedule information related to the user-specified keyword, the recording device 5 performs scheduled recording, while the program information service site 3 side performs reservation recording and recording of each recording device 5 because management is performed. The complicated management of the history can be avoided. As a result, it is possible to avoid duplication of reserved recordings due to the same information among program broadcast information periodically received from the program information service site 3. Here, a message that allows the program information service site 3 to change reservations or delete reservations associated with changes in program organization or the like may be exchanged between the service site and the recording device 5.

  Although the present invention has been specifically described above with reference to the embodiment, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the invention. For example, in the above-described embodiment, when searching for video information related to a user-specified keyword or when searching for a related video scene in a scheduled recording title, CM must be searched as a keyword different from the user-specified keyword. However, the present invention can be applied to programs other than commercials that apply to similar cases. Immediately after the user designates a keyword on the recording device 5 or the program information service site 3 side, a list of programs related to the keyword is displayed on the screen of the television 2, and the user selects a program to be reserved for recording. A recording reservation may be made.
