Patent number: 8509602Abstract: A recording control apparatus for controlling the recording of content of broadcast programs includes the following elements. An acquisition unit acquires electronic program guide data concerning the broadcast programs. A detector detects the title of a broadcast program from reserve-recording data indicating a recording reservation of the broadcast program. A calculator calculates the similarity between the title of the broadcast program detected by the detector and the title of the broadcast program indicated in the electronic program guide data acquired by the acquisition unit. A changing unit changes the reserve-recording data by using the electronic program guide data on the basis of the similarity calculated by the calculator.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2005Date of Patent: August 13, 2013Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Junya Ohde, Hideki Asazu, Takehisa Souraku, Yasushi Tsuruta, Hiroyuki Ozawa, Toshiyuki Katsumoto, Wei Sun
