[0041] (Contents of processing of navigation device 300)

Next, the contents of the processing of the navigation device 300 that is useful in the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the contents of the processing of the navigation device that is useful in this embodiment. In the following, the same reference numerals are used for portions that overlap the already described portions. The description is omitted. In the flowchart of FIG. 4, first, when the user presses a not-shown favorite recording button provided in the input device 311, the navigation device 300 determines whether or not content information has been acquired (step S 401). ).

[0042] Content information relates to video or audio from radio waves such as radio broadcasts and television broadcasts acquired via the communication I / F 314, and is further recorded on a recording medium such as a magnetic disk 305 or an optical disk 307. This information includes live images and music. The EPG program guide, which is content additional information, is included in the content information here. Note that EPG (Electronic Program Guide) is a system that displays a program guide on a TV screen based on radio waves including information such as the broadcast time and contents of programs received together with video in digital broadcasting. .

[0043] In step S401, after waiting for the acquisition of the content information (step S401: Yes), the CPU 301 next determines whether or not the passenger has been recognized (step S402). . For example, the passenger may be recognized based on information related to the passenger (hereinafter referred to as passenger information) recorded on a recording medium such as a memory card. In this case, the navigation apparatus 300 acquires passenger information from the memory card connected to the input device 311. Then, the CPU 301 recognizes the passenger from the acquired passenger information. Alternatively, the user may operate the input device 311 to input user information, and the CPU 301 may recognize the passenger based on this information.

[0044] Further, for example, a photographing camera (not shown) for photographing the passenger may be provided in the vehicle. This photographing camera photographs a passenger. Passengers can shoot either video or still images. Then, the moving image or still image captured by the imaging camera is output to the CPU 301, and the CPU 301 recognizes the passenger from the captured moving image or still image.

[0045] In step S402, after waiting for the passenger to be recognized, if recognized (step S402: Yes), the CPU 301 next determines whether or not the passenger information has been acquired. (Step S403). The information on the passenger may be acquired by, for example, acquiring the recording medium such as the memory card described above, or the user may input the passenger information by operating the input device 311. Furthermore, the passenger information is recorded in advance on a recording medium such as the magnetic disk 305 and the optical disk 307, and the passenger information related to the passenger recognized in step S402 is acquired from the magnetic disk 305 and the optical disk 307. Also good. Here, the passenger information is information including, for example, the passenger's preference, name, sex, recording search key list (see FIG. 6) described later, and the like.

[0047] In step S403, waiting for the passenger information to be acquired, and if it is acquired (step S403: Yes), the CPU 301 then determines whether or not the recording search key has been input. Judgment is made (step S404). The recording search key is input to the navigation device 300 by the user to record content, and is composed of any one of text data, audio data, image data, or a combination thereof. Specifically, for example, there are predetermined keywords included in the content, names of persons involved in the content, and the like. Specifically, it may be a TV program title, a performer, or a producer, or a song title or singer name, such as Giyan Nore. In addition, there are past viewing histories based on predetermined images, sounds and times, or content playback and recording.

[0048] The recording search key can be arbitrarily input by the user via the input device 311. In addition, if the recording search key list is included in the passenger information acquired from the recording medium such as the memory card, magnetic disk 305, or optical disk 307 described above, the recording search that the user is listed in the recording search key list is performed. The recording search key may be input by selecting from the keys.

[0049] In step S404, the process waits for the recording search key to be input, and if it is input (step S404: Yes), CPU 301 then selects the folder associated with the input recording search key. Specify (step S405). The folder is a storage area provided in a recording medium such as the magnetic disk 305 or the optical disk 307, for example. By creating multiple folders associated with the input recording search key, the recorded contents are classified, organized and stored (see Fig. 8). Also, if the folder associated with the recording search key is strong, it may be configured to notify the user and prompt the user to create a new folder.

[0050] Next, the CPU 301 sets the record search keyword input in step S404. Then, it is determined whether or not the priority has been input (step S406). For example, priorities may be input by assigning priorities to a plurality of recording search keys that have been input.

[0051] Subsequently, in step S406, the CPU 301 waits for the priority to be input, and if it is input (step S406: Yes), the CPU 301 selects the content corresponding to the recording search key from the content information. The search is performed according to the input priority (step S407). At this time, for example, the content of the part corresponding to the high-priority recording search key is searched, and when the search is completed, the content corresponding to the high-priority recording search key is searched next. It is good.

[0052] If no priority is input in step S406 (step S406: No), the user may be notified of this fact and prompted to input the priority. For example, a configuration may be adopted in which the content of the portion corresponding to the recording search key is searched in the input order. Furthermore, for example, only the content of the part corresponding to the recording search key that was input first is searched, and the content of the part corresponding to the other recording search key is prompted to determine whether or not to search. It is good.

Next, the CPU 301 determines whether or not the content corresponding to the recording search key input from the content information has been searched (step S408). As described above, the content information is related to video or audio from radio waves such as radio broadcasts and television broadcasts acquired via the communication I / F 314. Furthermore, the magnetic disk 305, optical disk 307, etc. Information including video, music, etc. recorded on the recording medium. In addition, the EPG program guide, which is content additional information, is included in the content information here.

[0054] The search for the recording search key is entered, for example, while searching for content including the recording search key from the EPG program guide or during playback of a television broadcast obtained via the communication I / F 314. This is performed when a predetermined image as a recording search key is shown or when a predetermined sound is played. The predetermined image can be arbitrarily set such as the performer's face, movement, and clothes, and the predetermined sound can be arbitrarily set such as voice, singing voice, and keyword.

[0055] When the content of the part corresponding to the recording search key is searched in step S408 (step S408: Yes), the content of the part corresponding to the recording search key is recorded. Start (step S409). Here, the content of the part corresponding to the recording search key may be, for example, the entire program or only a specific scene in the program. Specifically, for example, it may be only scenes related to gourmet information and ryokan information in travel programs. In addition, the content corresponding to the recording search key may be video, audio, or a combination thereof. Specifically, for example, it may be only the input song that flows in the program.

[0056] Then, when the recording of the content corresponding to the recording search key is completed (step S410), the recorded content is saved in the designated folder in step S405 (step S411), and a series of The process ends.

[0057] If no content corresponding to the recording search key is found in step S408 (step S408: No), it is then determined whether or not the recording search key has been changed (step S412). ). In step S412, waiting for the recording search key to be changed, and if the recording search key is changed (step S412: Yes), the process returns to step S405 and the process is repeated. In step S412, if the recording search key is not changed (step S412: No), the user may be notified of this fact and prompted to change the recording search key. In addition, when there is no change in the recording search key, the user may be notified of this and the series of processing may be terminated.

[0058] Further, when recording the content of the portion corresponding to the recording search key, it is also possible to return to a scene slightly before the scene where the recording search key is searched from the content information and start recording. For example, the content being played on a recording medium such as the magnetic disk 305 or the optical disk 307 is automatically recorded in advance for a predetermined time (for example, one hour). And when recording the content of the part corresponding to the recording search key, the recording is performed using the pre-recorded content. In addition, since the automatically recorded content is recorded in a recirculation type, the past content may be deleted after a predetermined time.

Here, the outline in the case of recording the content of the part corresponding to the recording search key will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram relating to the recording of the portion corresponding to the recording search key of the navigation device that works according to the present embodiment. As shown in Figure 5, the content information Information 500 includes broadcast content such as radio and television broadcasts, content 501 including video and music recorded on recording media such as magnetic disk 305 and optical disk 307, and EPG which is additional information of content 501 Content additional information 502 including a program guide and the like. In the figure, an arrow 503 indicates the flow of time.

Here, a case where broadcast content is being reproduced will be described as an example. The recording search key is input, and the content 504 corresponding to the recording search key is searched. At this time, first, a recording search key is searched from the content 501 being reproduced. The time t 0 shown in FIG. 5 indicates the time when the recording search key is searched. Next, the content 504 that is a portion corresponding to the recording search key is searched. Then, the retrieved content 504 is extracted and recorded.

[0061] It should be noted that, for example, when extracting content 504, the content extraction may start from time t0 to time TO and time T1 advances from time t0 to time TO. . Then, the extracted content 505 is recorded.

[0062] In this way, since the recording is started from a scene just before the recording search key specified by the user is searched, the user understands the content of the content more smoothly. can do. Specifically, for example, when a user inputs a recording search key with a voice of “hit” while watching baseball, the pitcher is a scene just before the recording starts from the moment the batter hits the hit. Start recording from when the player throws the ball. Thereby, it is possible to watch the process until the batter hits the hit.

[0063] Also, when searching for the content corresponding to the recording search key from the EGP program guide, which is the content additional information 502, for example, the content corresponding to the recording search key is searched from the content scheduled to be distributed. The recording may be started when the scheduled delivery time is reached.

Next, with reference to FIG. 6, a description will be given of a recording search key that is useful in this embodiment. FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a recording search key list of the navigation device that works according to the present embodiment. The recording search key list 600 is a list of recording search keys. In FIG. 6, a recording search key list 600 is a list of recording search keys such as predetermined keywords included in content and names of persons related to the content. [0065] As described above, the recording search key may be, for example, a TV program title, performer or producer, or a song title, singer name, genre, or the like. In addition, past viewing history based on text data displayed on the screen, predetermined images, voices such as opening songs, entrance time, content start time and end time, or content playback Etc.

Note that the recording search key list 600 may be included in the above-described passenger information, for example, or the recording search key list 600 may be entered by the user inputting the recording search key via the input device 311. You can create Listing 600.

[0067] Further, the contents of the recording search key list 600 may be listed in the order of the recording search keys input by the user. For example, the importance of the recording search keys is ranked into A to C, etc. It is also possible to use a squirrel order in descending order of importance. The recording search key list 600 is recorded on a recording medium such as the magnetic disk 305 or the optical disk 307, and is updated and recorded whenever the user changes the recording search key.

Note that a specific image can be input as the recording search key. Panda shown in Figure 6

(Image) 601 indicates an image recording search key. FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of an image recording search key of the navigation apparatus according to the present embodiment. For example, when the user selects a panda (image) 601 from the recording search key list 600 via the input device 311, an image 700 as shown in FIG. 7 is displayed.

Next, when the user inputs the image 700 as a recording search key, the CPU 301 of the navigation device 300 also searches the image 700 for the content power being played back. When the image 700 is displayed in the content being played back, the CPU 301 determines that it is a recording search key, and searches for the content in the corresponding part. At this time, the CPU 301 compares the image displayed in the content being played back with the image that is the recording search key input by the user, and if the different portion is equal to or less than a predetermined threshold, the same image is displayed. It may be configured to recognize the content and search for the corresponding content.

Next, a folder created in association with the recording search key will be described. As described above, the folder is a storage area provided in a recording medium such as the magnetic disk 305 or the optical disk 307. The folder associated with the input recording search key By providing a plurality, the recorded contents are classified, organized and stored. Folders can be given unique names for identification, and recording media can be efficiently managed by putting together a number of related recorded contents into one folder. In addition, folders can be created in the folder, and details and classifications can be expressed by the hierarchical structure.

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of a folder associated with the recording search key. As shown in FIG. 8, the baseball player Noreda 800 is composed of a baseball player Noreda 810 and a movie player Noreda 820. Furthermore, the baseball Honoreda 810 is composed of a hit Honoreda 811, a home run folder 812, and a strikeout folder 813, and expresses a fine classification. For example, when the user inputs a recording search key “home run”, the home run folder 812 associated with “home run” is specified. If the content corresponding to the “home run” is recorded, it is stored in the home run folder 812 of the baseball folder 810.

[0072] In this way, since the recorded contents are classified, organized and stored in association with the recording search key, the work related to classification and organization performed by the user can be omitted. Furthermore, it is possible to easily find the desired content to be reproduced from the content recorded by the user, and to reduce the work of searching for the desired content.

[0073] It should be noted that when the content corresponding to the recording search key is being recorded, the display 313 of the navigation device 300 indicates that recording is in progress, for example, a recording mark is lit to notify the user. Also good. In addition, if a new content is recorded when the navigation device 300 is turned off, the user is notified that there is a newly recorded content when the navigation device 300 is turned on. It is good also as a structure.

[0074] At this time, for example, the title of the newly recorded content may be displayed on the display 313, and a mark indicating that there is newly recorded content may be displayed. If the content recorded in response to the recording search key is different from the content desired by the user, the user inputs the content to the navigation device 300 via the input device 311, and the CPU 301 of the navigation device 300 As a configuration to learn Good.

[0075] As described above, according to the present embodiment, by inputting the recording search key, it is possible to record only the content of the portion desired by the user from the content information. In addition, since unnecessary part of the content is not recorded, it is possible to prevent the user from viewing unnecessary contents, and further, the recorded unnecessary part of the content in the recording medium is saved. It is possible to reduce the storage area required for this.

[0076] Furthermore, since the recorded content is classified, organized, and stored in association with the recording search key, the work related to classification and organization performed by the user can be omitted. In addition, since it is classified and organized and stored, the user can easily find the desired content to be played back from the recorded content. As a result, it is possible to reduce the work of searching for the content desired by the user from the recorded content.

It should be noted that the content recording method described in the present embodiment can be realized by executing a prepared program on a computer such as a personal computer or a workstation. This program is recorded on a computer-readable recording medium such as a hard disk, flexible disk, CD-ROM, M0, or DVD, and is executed by being read from the recording medium by the computer. The program may be a transmission medium that can be distributed via a network such as the Internet.
