Patent number: 7684672Abstract: A broadcast storage system is disclosed which is easily controllable by the user for setting programs for timer recording and playing back recorded programs. The broadcast storage system has one or more slave apparatus and a master apparatus. The master apparatus grasps programs set for timer recording by each of the slave apparatus. When a program to be recorded is determined by the user or an automatic timer recording process, the master apparatus selects an apparatus to record the program such that a plurality of timer recording settings are not made at one time in one apparatus, and instructs the selected apparatus to set the program for timer recording.

Patent number: 7219363Abstract: A broadcast program related information processor is provided wherein a user can easily create a message containing a program tag corresponding to a program during watching. When externally receiving a program tag capture request, the program display controller 2 captures the program-related information of a program in displaying from the recorded-video management data 3, creates a program tag based on the program information, and then returns the created program tag to the request source. When the program tag further contains scene information, the program display controller 2 captures the scene information regarding a scene in replay at the time of capturing program related information and then utilizes the scene information at the program tag creation time. The message creator 1 transmits the program tag capture request to the program display controller 2 and then, when the program tag is returned, inserts it into the message 5.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2001Date of Patent: May 15, 2007Assignee: NEC CorporationInventors: Junichi Yamato, Hiroshi Matoba

Patent number: 6934966Abstract: A system is provided that can easily capture the same broadcast stream from an arbitrary application. An interface between application and a reception route selection mechanism describes in a unified mode a broadcast resource capture specification method and a communication resource capture specification method. The interface employs a description scheme in which an application does not recognize whether or not a broadcast stream is captured through broadcast or communication. In the reception route selection, the reception route selection mechanism checks for a broadcast time contained in the identifier of a broadcast stream to be input so that a zone where a broadcast time is earlier than the current time by using a communication resource receiver while a zone where the broadcast time is later than the current time is selected by using a broadcast resource receiver.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 1998Date of Patent: August 23, 2005Assignee: NEC CorporationInventors: Katsuhiro Ochiai, Hiroshi Matoba
