Digital broadcast receiving apparatus
View Patent ↗A portable telephone 100 with broadcast receiving function has a portable telephone device and a digital broadcast receiving apparatus. A recording format selection section 116 in the digital broadcast receiving apparatus records, in a recording section 117 such as nonvolatile semiconductor memory, any of a video signal, an audio signal and a data signal which are separated by a transport stream (TS) separating section 105 , in accordance with a designated recording format or contents of a broadcast program, from a recording start time to a recording end time. An attempt is made to make the quantity of data signal to be recorded in the recording section 117 appropriate, and diminish power consumed by a battery of the portable telephone 100 with broadcast receiving function.
1. A digital broadcast receiving apparatus that receives and outputs a stream to which a video signal, an audio signal and a data broadcasting signal are multiplexed, the digital broadcast receiving apparatus comprising:
a recording section for recording signals included in the stream;
a designating section designating a signal from among the video, audio and data broadcasting signals;
wherein the recording section records the designated signal; and
wherein when the designating section designates recording of the data broadcasting signal, the recording section records only the last data broadcasting signal of a program that is an object of recording.
2. The digital broadcast receiving apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the designating section designates the signal to be recorded based on a content of a program to be recorded.
3. The digital broadcast receiving apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein when the designating section designates recording of the data broadcasting signal, the recording section records the data broadcasting signal of a program that is an object of recording by intermittently receiving the program.
4. A digital broadcast receiving apparatus that receives and outputs a stream to which a video signal, an audio signal and a data broadcasting signal are multiplexed, the digital broadcast receiving apparatus comprising:
a recording section for recording signals included in the stream;
a designating section designating a signal from among the video, audio and data broadcasting signals;
wherein the recording section records the designated signal;
a reservation section reserving a program to be recorded; and
a prediction section predicting whether or not the program reserved by the reservation section can be recorded entirely in the recording section,
wherein when the prediction section predicts than it is not possible to record all the program, the recording section records only the last data broadcasting signal of the program that is an object of recording.
5. A digital broadcast receiving apparatus that receives and outputs a stream to which a video signal, an audio signal and a data broadcasting signal are multiplexed, the digital broadcast receiving apparatus comprising:
a recording section for recording signals included in the stream; and
a designating section designating a signal from among the video, audio and data broadcasting signals;
wherein the recording section records the designated signal;
wherein the recording section monitors a remaining capacity in the recording section while recording, and
when the remaining capacity exceeds a predetermined value, the recording section stops the recording operation and records only the last data broadcasting signal of the program.
6. The digital broadcast receiving apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the designating section designates any combination of signals of the video signal, the audio signal and the data broadcasting signal is to be recorded.
7. A digital broadcast receiving apparatus that receives and outputs a stream to which a video signal, an audio signal and a data broadcasting signal are multiplexed, the digital broadcast receiving apparatus comprising:
a recording section for recording signals included in the stream;
a designating section designating a signal from among the video, audio and data broadcasting signals;
wherein the recording section records the designated signal;
a communication section connected to a radio communication network; a detection section detecting an incoming call through the communication section;
a setting section setting an incoming call processing operation to be performed when the incoming call is detected during the recording operation; and
a control section performing the incoming call processing operation based on the setting of the setting section when the incoming call is detected during the recording operation.
8. A digital broadcast receiving apparatus that receives and outputs a stream to which a video signal, an audio signal and a data broadcasting signal are multiplexed, the digital broadcast receiving apparatus comprising:
a recording section for recording the video signal, the audio signal and the data broadcasting signal that are included in the received stream into memory;
a designating section designating a signal from among the video signal, the audio signal and the data broadcasting signal; and
a deleting section deleting from memory the designated signal.
9. The digital broadcast receiving apparatus according to claim 8 , further comprising:
a separating section separating the video signal, the audio signal and the data broadcasting signal from each other, which are included in the received stream,
wherein, the recording section records each of the signals separated by the separating section as different files,
the designating section designates the file, and
the deleting section deletes the designated file.
