The general use passed through the broadcasting that surface wave, satellite, cable etc. send usually in the dispensing.Dispensing also can use packaged media such as the broadcasting of adopting the internet or DVD to carry out.Banising under the situation about sending of use internet, use RTP real-time protocol (RTP)s such as (Real Time Protocol) more.Under the situation of packaged media, obtain moment of benchmark as configuration information, do not use absolute time, and use the relative time of counting from the starting point of medium.
Shown in Figure 26 is video image from broadcasting in the present embodiment with the data that subsystem 1100 is dispensed into client terminal subsystem 1300, but so long as the data that time stream exists then also can be music, broadcasting, character information or image information etc.
As and network with the network between the subsystem 1200, in the present embodiment, supposed so-called internet.But network is not limited to the internet.For example, also can be the dedicated network that is not connected on the internet.
In the present embodiment, the transmission of using different physical layers is carried out in the path (mainly being the internet) when client terminal subsystem 1300 is used for the path (mainly be broadcasting) of receiver, video image and transmits information by network.But, the invention is not restricted to this mode.Wherein, between client terminal subsystem 1300 and network are with subsystem 1200, need two-way communication path at least.In addition, if having information such as seasonal effect in time series video image or music with the information spinner that subsystem 1100 sends from broadcasting.
-broadcasting subsystem 1100 and the network formation of subsystem 1200-
In the video image recording portion 1104 of the system of present embodiment, comprise CM at the stored video image.In the broadcasting of reality, owing to also have real-time news program etc., so needn't write down whole video images in advance.But even if real-time broadcasting, the video image that usually also will carry out with record such as CM switches.
1105 storages of video image time form are corresponding to constantly sending which video image.Under the situation of broadcasting in real time, not the time form of the prior records such as the insertion moment of CM sometimes, but be used to switch scheduling from outside indication.Therefore, though stored information in video image time form 1105, change in real time according to circumstances sometimes in advance usually.In addition, sometimes regardless of the scheduling that is stored in the video image time form 1105, all video image is sent in change forcibly.
On the other hand, network comprises with subsystem 1200: the network interface 1201 that communicates with the client terminal of outside; Be used to resolve, analyze the address resolution portion 1202 of the information of sending here along with address information from client terminal apparatus such as the moment; Storage is about sending the content timing form 1203 of the description of which kind of content at which constantly; With content formation portion 1204, considering provides the dealer to want the information of inserting such as CM by 1202 parsings of address resolution portion, the resulting information of analyzing of result, current content of possessing etc. with content, and makes content.
Network also comprises with subsystem 1200: be used for temporary transient storage and be made of within the content that portion 1204 makes content and hold temporary transient storage part 1205; Be used for can be corresponding to the content stores portion 1206 of the form memory contents of content time form 1203; With content synchronization portion 1207, be used to make by 1104 storages of video image recording portion, utilize video image that broadcasting sends, with obtain synchronously by content stores portion contents 1206 storages, that utilize network to send.
The content that is stored in the temporary transient storage part 1205 of content is sent to client terminal subsystem 1300 from network interface 1201.In addition, the temporary transient storage part 1205 of this content also is used for not needing repeatedly to make identical content, so also can be used for realizing high speed when a plurality of identical requests arrive.
Figure 28 illustrates the content instance that is stored in content time form 1203.The project of each row is followed successively by content sequence number, the zero hour, the termination moment, other condition, content name and remarks by order from left to right.If enter the zero hour of certain content and stop between the moment then suitable this content from the time information in the visit informations such as address of client terminal.
For example.Among Figure 28, the time information of the line display of content sequence number=1 in visit information is positioned under the situation of scope of 05:00～05:55:59, visit/news.html.
In addition, be called here ' content ' be not limited to indicate a content item (or this content item destination address) merely, also can be the information of making page usefulness in conjunction with a plurality of content items.The row of content sequence number=2 is set the identical/news.html of visit too for.
Here, so-called news.html (expression news.) identical description be described in the row of content sequence number 1 and 2 etc. two.This is because hypothesis news all is its content, visits wherein up-to-date news page or leaf.Much less, also can specify from 5 o'clock news and the page or leaf that differs from one another from 7 o'clock news.
The row of content sequence number=3 is represented the serial of projection every day in this example.Here, be recorded in information indication in ' content ' hurdle corresponding to the information of the projection amount of today.
The row of content sequence number=4 comprises ' regional condition is judged: if Osaka then sends the information of other address (./Osaka_ region .html) ', as ' other condition '.Like this, if impose a condition, then satisfying under the situation of this condition, can set the different content of appearance within projection and ' content ' for.For example, even if same program is also many because of the different CM differences that make the there projection in region.As mentioned above, as other condition, then when accessed web page, can see the regional condition in this visit information, and make page consistent partly with this place if in form, describe region (local) condition (domain information).
Here, regional condition as an example is desirably in when setting the TV channel and is set simultaneously.In addition, expectation is by setting regional condition, thereby once realizes corresponding (the general channel setting) of TV channel and broadcast wave, corresponding to the setting (Osaka, Nara, markon Fu Niya etc.) of the setting of the base address of each channel, local information, whether to using the setting that adds time information or regional condition etc. corresponding to the net visit of the base address of each channel.These can by will import the user interface used the region, with keep the form of channel, base address, local information etc. to remain on corresponding to each region reading in the private memory, and set one of them corresponding to user's selection and realize.
Time starteds of content sequence number=5 and 6 row and termination time all be set in time of overlapping of row of content sequence number=4 be with.Usually, each program is divided into star turn part, be positioned at a plurality of parts such as wherein the corner portions located application of quiz (for example to), commerce.In this example, by the description that allows timeliness to overlap, can not will main program show as the segmentations of a plurality of times.In the example of Figure 28, with program storage such as ' the entertainment information programs in morning ' in the row of content sequence number=4, the various piece that constitutes it is stored in the different row, in the row as content sequence number=5 (quiz) and content sequence number=6 (CM in the quiz corner).
Here, though correspond respectively to the quiz in the entertainment information program, the CM in the quiz corner comes content information stored, the file layout of such information is not limited thereto in the content time form.For example, also can be corresponding in each time it being stored as diverse page or leaf or situation and needs such as store 3 contents are imbedded a form in the page or leaf, and adopt certain form.
In the reality, be used as for example termination moment of the program in this form, also can predictive user postpone back execution visit slightly even if set 09:56:59.Therefore, expect last adjacent page or leaf of time in this time form, for example the front and back page structure that outfit in advance can be jumped easily.Particularly, if from corresponding to the web page interlinkage of ' the entertainment information program in morning ' of content sequence number=4 to the program associated content of broadcasting afterwards with ' serial ' and ' the entertainment information program in morning ' of content sequence number=3.
Usually after determining to be stored in the time form of the broadcasting in the video image time form 1105, as one man revise content time form 1203 with it.This correction can be carried out automatically without staff, also can revise, append through staff.Needn't specially content time form 1203 be connected in broadcasting with in the system of S portion 1100 with online mode.But under situation about considering corresponding to the time lengthening of baseball broadcasting etc., expectation can prolong corresponding to the airtime immediately revises content time form 1203.
With subsystem 1100, a plurality of networks subsystem 1200 can be arranged at a broadcasting.Expectation can be set client terminal, so that according to user's hobby, selects network with one of subsystem 1200.
In the present embodiment, in the network of network interface 1201 connects, use the internet.But network is not limited to the internet.In addition, the analysis result of address resolution portion 1202 is used to select suitable content as described later.
The formation of-client terminal subsystem 1300-
Figure 29 represents the formation of the client terminal subsystem 1300 of present embodiment.With reference to Figure 29, this client terminal subsystem 1300 comprises: the Internet modem 1331, TV receiver 1332 and be used to operate the remote controller 1333 of TV receiver 1332.
If TV receiver 1332 is connected on wired TV (CATV).In addition, in this example, the Internet modem 1331 is used wireless being connected to each other with TV receiver 1332.
As the Internet modem, ADSL (Asynchronous DigitalSubscriber Line: ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line)) modulator-demodulator is for example arranged.Expectation is connected in TV receiver 1332 on the internet with ways of connecting all the time as far as possible.As wireless, for example can use IEEE (the Institute Of Electrical and ElectronicsEngineers, Inc: the technology of the IEEE802.11b of standard IEEE).Certainly, modulator-demodulator can be built in the main body of TV receiver 1332.The expansion service group identifier) or the setting of encryption key etc. based on the WLAN of IEEE802.11b (Local Area Network: during local area network (LAN)) connection, need ESSID (Extended Service Set-Identifier:.But, because these and the present invention do not have direct correlation, so its details is not described here.
Under the situation of access the Internet, need to set IP (Internet Protocol: address etc. Internet protocol).DHCP) etc. if hypothesis family uses client terminal subsystem 1300, then expectation utilizes DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol: existing gimmick is come automatic setting IP address, to alleviate user's burden.
Also can use mouse, keyboard to wait and replace remote controller 1333, but if suppose to operate with the form the same with current TV the TV receiver 1332 of client terminal subsystem 1300, then expectation can singlehanded be imported.
Figure 30 is the block diagram of the representative formation of the expression formation that is assumed to be client terminal subsystem 1300.With reference to Figure 30, this client terminal subsystem 1300 comprises: video image input part 1311 is used to receive the video image signal of sending with subsystem 1100 sources such as video image such as grade from broadcasting; Switch the video image switching part 1312 of input video image; Address switchover portion 1313 switches corresponding to video image, and handover network is used base address (information source information) simultaneously; Base address storage part 1314, storage is corresponding to the channel of video image or the base address of medium; With user's input part 1315, possess, be used for the user and carry out the indication that video image switches (also carrying out the base address simultaneously switches) or access to netwoks and (make the address, send request from network.) user interface.
Video image input part 1311 adopts the form of tuner usually.But, also can be video tape recorder, hard disk or the DVD etc. of recording of video image.Though video image switching part 1312 is realized the switching of broadcasting channel, also can carry out the switching between switching, broadcasting and the medium between medium.As user's input part 1315, as described later, use a teleswitch usually and its demonstration.
Also there is the region of using a plurality of time zones as the U.S. and other places.Therefore, the moment that expectation is used in the present embodiment is utilized with universal time and is the statement of benchmark (if Japan then is the information JST:Japan Standard Time for example of Japan time+expression Japan time).
In addition, under situation about only carrying out with the synchronous visit of video image channel, do not need timer 1317, additional time information ground makes the address.In addition, expectation timer 1317 is synchronous with the timer of server.Wherein, server links in broadcast system, has the possibility height of very correct timing.Thereby, if client terminal subsystem 1300 is and synchronous system of the correct moment that then server is independent and consistent with the correct moment mutually with client terminal subsystem 1300, thereby also can obtain synchronously with server.
The timer of expectation client terminal subsystem 1300 is above once a day to be modified to orthochronous automatically.NTP (Network Time Protocol)), SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol: several different methods such as the method for SNTP) revising the NTP that there is method that the acceptance criteria electric wave revises in the automatic correcting method of timer, use method that giving the correct time of broadcasting revise, use the internet (Network TimeProtocol:.Adopt which method all harmless.In addition, using NTP or SNTP to revise under the situation constantly, visiting server constantly together, each client terminal is inquired about at random time in order not make a plurality of client terminal subsystems 1300.Separately set the TNT server by different places when in addition, being desirably in channel setting.Thus, can prevent the central access same server.
In example shown in Figure 30, the address that is made by address preparing department 1316 can be stored in the address storage part 1322.Thus, under the situation of wanting to obtain with the content of broadcast synchronization, not access server simultaneously but after a while when broadcasting from network.The indication that address storage part 1322 receives from user's input part 1315, storage comprise the address of the time information of being made by address preparing department 1316.Afterwards, receive indication by the user interface from user's input part 1315, information sends acceptance division 1318 and sends the address information that is stored in the address storage part 1322 from network interface 1319, receives the content by this address information appointment.Show the content that receives by browser 1320 and display part 1321.In addition, when the demonstration of display part 1321 when the demonstration of browser 1320 switches to the demonstration of broadcast video image, 1323 pairs of information storage parts show the information that each broadcasting channel storage in source is shown by browser 1320 before this.
The control structure of-network usefulness subsystem 1200-
Figure 31 represents the flow chart of network with the server side of subsystem 1200.If send for example URL=http to server side from client computer: ///www.asa-tv.co.jp/time? data=20021209﹠amp; Time=203245JST﹠amp; The information of location-osaka.At step S1221, resolve, analyze its sentence pattern, obtain the information (being the ground domain information in this example) of the information attribute of time and the transmission of expression server side.Under the situation that provides URL as information, as long as use the software that is called the URL routine analyzer here.
Afterwards, at step S1222, the information that obtains according to step S1221, during providing with association store, the content of the content time form 1203 of valid expiration date or content position etc. compares, according to this result, accessing database 1224, after the information combination of necessity, making information (for example webpage 1227).For this reason, as long as use the software for example be called page composer etc.
At this moment, expect the information (moment or ground domain information) of the page or leaf that storage is made in the past, judge whether the page or leaf of making in the past.If making this page or leaf is first, then when sending this page, be stored in page cache memory 1226.If certain one page that the past makes then in step 1225, sends the instruction of the page or leaf of the past making in the referer cache memory 1226.By network the data of reading are sent to client terminal subsystem 1300.
Usually, linking under the situation that the information of broadcasting provides, the possibility height of server is arrived in identical request simultaneously, the situation that the load of imagination operating lag or while server increases.For fear of this problem, utilize again after the data that once generate of preservation by explanation here, thereby can when simplifying treatment step, alleviate user's burden, realize the high speed of response.
In addition, in the present embodiment, will be constantly or out of Memory and address information integrated after, show with the form of URL.But embodiments of the invention are not limited to this method.As long as these information are passed to server, and regardless of the form of transmitting.In addition, under the situation that the parsing of time information is failed, expectation sends the default information of setting in advance (URL of the homepage that the TV platform of correspondence is prepared etc.).
Attaching in the information of information attribute time information, that the expression server side sends also can be broadcasting station code, type code, keyword or about the information of information output device etc.For example, as the information of representation attribute, append on the time information as if the content information that with information output device is mobile telephone, then server unit can return and be suitable for the information that mobile telephone shows.In addition, for example, be can send under the situation of the mobile telephone that receives Email or PC (Personal Computer) terminal etc. at information output device, can be to the addresses of items of mail of time information additional information output equipment.Server unit can be to this addresses of items of mail Return URL.Also can be additional to a plurality of these information on the time information and pass to server unit.
The control structure of-client terminal subsystem 1300-
Figure 32 is the flow chart of expression by the control structure of the performed program of the client terminal in the client terminal subsystem 1300.With reference to Figure 32, at first in step S1341, carry out broadcasting and wait video image to show.Here so-called ' demonstration ' is not only display video image in TV receiver 1332 monitors such as grade, also comprise as VTR (Video Tape Recorder) etc. with the video image analog or digital output to external equipment.
Then, in step S1342, which kind of button input judges has.Here because hypothesis is from the input of remote controller 1333, so decision which button of remote controller 1333.But input is not limited to the button of such remote controller 1333.For example, under situation about using a computer, mouse can be used for input as client terminal.That is,,, can use any software here for the input of the button judged, in addition, the mode that also can use on monitor picture display menu and utilize software to select.
Corresponding to the result of the determination processing of step S1342, the control flow branch that carries out as follows.That is, (in example shown in Figure 3, be 0～9 digital button, but in most cases also become 1,12 etc. sequence number button corresponding to channel if the button pressed is a channel selection button 324.), begin networking below ' linkage display ' button, ' nearest visit, button, ' ' button, about the button of selections/reproduction recording of video image, then control and advance to step S1343, S1346, S1351, S1353, S1354 respectively.In addition, Figure 38 shows the outward appearance of remote controller used in the present embodiment.
It below the step S1343 processing that is used to carry out channel alteration.At step S1343, send switching signal to tuner usually, switch the video image that receives.
Then, at step S1344, change is stored in the base address in the base address storage part 1314.For example, to all videos image of records such as hard disk VTR, the video image of executive logging is selected, rather than switches to the video image of tuner.
At step S1345, the timer in the actual moment when selecting expression to select the channel of broadcast wave.What select only is under the situation of broadcasting in real time, because the essential current time that shows of timer, so do not need this step.When equipment is the equipment that the demonstration of the reproduction of the medium that write down and current broadcast is switched, when having selected the reception of real-time broadcasting stream in this step, real-time timer is set; When having selected the reproduction of self-recording medium, the initial value of the timer that medium are had is set.After the step S1345, control turns back to step S1341.
It after the step S1346 processing when pressing ' linkage display ' button.So-called ' linkage display ' button is the button of preparing with the content of broadcasting interlock in order to show by one touch type.At first, in step S1346, make band address constantly.But, also can be set at and not make band address constantly, at this moment, only prepare the base address here.Make the address of being with the moment by the base address and from the moment that timer is read.Also can add the additional information such as ground domain information of prior storage.
In addition, also can be by judgement whether to making the address behind the additional time information of each channel.This is effective when visit does not have the server of judging mechanism constantly.For example, visit local broadcasting stations or CS (Communications Satellite: communication satellite) the stream service station of broadcasting station, internet etc. only on a small scale the server operation local time be effective.Expectation is kept for judging the information constantly of whether adding with the base address, till the setting change of next time.
Afterwards, at step S1347, the address information of making is sent to server side.Under the situation of network service, send address information to the server target shown in the URL.At this moment, TCP), HTTP (Hypertext TransferProtocol: agreement such as HTTP) usually use TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/InternetProtocol:, but here, so long as the combination that can between server, client computer, communicate, then can use any agreement of any layer, no matter which kind of class it belongs to.
At step S1348, because from the content of server transmission, so receive this content corresponding to the address of step S1346 making.
At step S1349, after the content that resolve, analytical procedure S1348 receives, displaying contents.When being that adopt HTML (HyperTextMarkup Language: HTML) content described in language, even if but adopt and can describe also harmless by the program language that web browser is carried out more under the situation as the webpage of general content.In so-called portable phone, in content description, use the situation of this language of CompactHTML (portable set IDL) more.
At step S1350, judge from the user to carry out which type of button input.If the button of pressing is to switch ' channel ' button that broadcast program is used, then control advances to step S1343.Thus, carry out channel alteration, demonstration is switched to video image.
If the button of pressing is ' returning ' button, the video image of the channel of selecting before then turning back to shows.Having carried out when switching to the button input of the indication that other content shows from current content displayed, advance to step S1347, the base address is updated to base address before switching.In common webpage during with the form performance address of link, wait with arrow button and to select this address, by pressing action such as ' determining ' button, sends new address, reception is the demonstration content corresponding with this address also.
In addition,, also can show the content that obtains in the past and preserve in the processing of execution therebetween by client terminal from step S1346 to step S1348.At this moment, the user can from after pressing ' linkage display ' button till the display message during, this content of audiovisual.
And, also can regularly make band address constantly, regularly obtain the content that is associated with the broadcasting in the demonstration in advance, with the visit of server unit in, the content that demonstration obtains.At this moment, but the user is associated with the content of the broadcasted content in the current demonstration with audiovisual and the time is gone up approaching content.Certainly, under the content that obtains in the moment of pressing ' linkage display ' button situation identical with the content of user's request, the user is the content expected of audiovisual directly.
When selecting ' nearest visit ' button, control advances to step S1351.At step S1351, show the address of visit recently.If band address is constantly arranged in the address of visit recently, then also shows this address.
At step S1352, one of address that user's selective listing shows.Usually, the demonstration by menu-style and used the input of arrow and confirming button to realize.Afterwards, control advances to step S1347, carries out processing the same when pressing ' linkage display ' button.
In step S1353, when pressing ' begin afterwards networking ' button, showing under the constant situation of current video image only memory address.Here address stored is shown in the tabulation of exporting when pressing ' nearest visit ' button with the address head of nearest visit.Perhaps, also can only show and press ' beginning networking afterwards ' and address stored, as tabulation.Handle by this, can realize storing the address of linking, afterwards, carry out access to netwoks in the page or leaf of this broadcasting linking with current broadcast with time information.
At step S1354, carry out the processing when pressing ' selection/reproduction of recording of video image ' button.This processing is only installed under the situation of equipment of the video image of the storage of can handling over.Only be equipped with tuner at common TV etc. and only handle in the equipment of video image of real-time dispensing, do not need this part.For example, in hard disk VTR etc., owing to can store date or the channel of recording, so this processing can be installed.
In step S1354, use to attach and come stored channel information to change the base address in the video image of recording.With regard to the medium such as DVD that do not have channel information or base address, also can artificially set the base address.
Afterwards, at step S1355, according to the position of the timeliness of the moment of recording start, current reproduction, derive the moment of projection (record), and set to timer.That is, under the data conditions of recording, set timer, so that can reproduce the moment of actual projection.Certainly, except that changing the base address, also can directly store the base address according to channel information.Under the situation of DVD etc., user's Input Address, the reproduction time started with DVD is made as zero constantly, will send to server as information from the relative time that begins to count.
This can be used under the various situations.For example, the situation that DVD is distributed as the catalogue of on-line purchase.At this moment, can change the commodity of introducing as related information corresponding to the recovery time of DVD.This is because what recovery time to show that what commodity will just know in when making DVD.The relative time of counting from initial value by announcement server, thus the page or leaf of appropriate online shopping can be made by server.With regard to DVD, hard disk VTR etc., can operate reproduction, stop, the time shaft of content such as F.F..Certainly, under the situation of these devices, the timer that produces band address constantly can change constantly according to this operation.
Processing shown in this flow chart is used for handling and users' interfaces, and the limit demonstration is resolved, analyzed in the limit from the server downloaded contents, so how to gather with forms such as browsers.Gathering its major function, is channel handover management, the generation to the visit of server, address, management, user interface etc.
The address correlation setting example of-client terminal-
The example of the transition that the address correlation of client terminal shown in Figure 33 is set.By the current state of line display shown in the row sequence number 1.This content depends on which channel of present selection.Row by 2 expressions of row sequence number is that channel alteration is for example example of so-called channels (particularly, for example corresponding to pressing 7 channels) such as ' asa-tv '.At this moment, the base address is changed to base address (for example ' http://www.asa-tv.co.jp ') corresponding to asa-tv channel and storage.
In the processing of reality, can only temporarily store as index and realize by channel number that will be corresponding with the base address.
Then, in row by 3 expressions of row sequence number, the situation when ' linkage display ' button of pressing Figure 32 is shown.At this moment, with current time information calculated address, and send this address.In addition, do not set under the situation of base address in the incorrect grade of setting owing to the user, expectation generates the address of acquiescence.
Situation when the line display of row sequence number 4 is pressed ' returning ' button.Execution is shown to the switching that video image shows from net.
Situation when the line display of row shown in the sequence number 5 pressed Figure 32's ' beginning networking afterwards ' button.According to base address and current time calculated address, but only the storage and do not send.But, also can as reference Figure 42 is described, send received content data behind the address.But in this case, the video image that should not cut off current demonstration shows.
Situation when the line display shown in the row sequence number 6 has broadcast channel modification.Along with this change, the base address is changed to http://www.nn-tv.com.Selected the situation of ' nearest visit ' among line display Figure 32 shown in the row sequence number 7.Here, selection and transmission are by the transmission address of storing under the situation shown in the row of row sequence number 5, and the corresponding content information of reception.
In addition, among Figure 33, shown in the row that are shown ' demonstration ' to the example of which kind of demonstration of user prompt.For example, so-called ' video image ' is the video image of broadcasting, and so-called ' net ' is the content from being the network reception at center with the internet.Certainly, also can make their mixed display as described later like that.Resolution that also can be by switch showing in ' video image ' and ' net ', pattern etc. make their easy observations.
Figure 34, Figure 35 and Figure 36 are the figure that expression utilizes ' linkage display ' demonstration example when button visits the internet.These show at Figure 33 ' ' be shown the demonstration example under the pattern of ' net ' in the project.
In example shown in Figure 34, display frame 160 is divided into TV picture 162 and internet picture in addition.The internet picture also further is divided into the zone 164,166 that shows internet contents such as weather and 168 and news zone, internet 170.
In example shown in Figure 35, in the whole zone of display frame 172, show internet picture 174.In this example, also overlapping demonstration TV picture 176 on internet picture 174.
In addition, at this moment, the internet content of being obtained by ' linkage display ' button is the content that is associated with broadcasted content.Therefore, be desirably in continuous broadcast program in the TV picture 176.When in the link information from internet content, obtaining content and being shown in internet picture 174, also can delete the TV picture 176 that continues demonstration.Thus, the user can recognize that internet picture and broadcasted content in the audiovisual are irrelevant.At this moment, before the demonstration of deletion TV picture 176, also can carry out message outputs such as warning demonstration 178.In addition, the sound that also can give a warning.Even if, also can expect same effect by warning showing under the situation of other internet picture and TV picture side by side.In addition, in demonstration form shown in Figure 35, also can change the relation of TV picture area picture 176 and internet picture 174.
In example shown in Figure 36, display frame 180 is divided into ' time interlock content ' zone 182, shows the news zone 188 of latest news, the listing zone 184 that shows the TV listing, CM zone 190 and 192 and TV picture 186.Time interlock content area 182 is presented at the content of the channel interlock of this time and user's selection.
In Figure 34, Figure 35 and example shown in Figure 36, internet content and TV picture are made up, but the invention is not restricted to this demonstration.For example, as shown in figure 37, also can show separately by webpage.In example shown in Figure 37, display frame 200 is divided into viewing area 202, news zone 198, listing zone 194, the CM zone 190,192 and 204 of the program content association in the projection.There is not TV picture self.
As the business in broadcasting station, the content of net is put into the sponsor's of broadcasting CM in expectation.In addition, not only request content constantly also expects to go up the easy access time content before and after it.
