  FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of the mobile terminal in the automatic channel selection system according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. Note that the configuration shown in FIG. 2 is simplified for the purpose of explaining the present invention, and is assumed to include components mounted on a normal mobile terminal.

  A mobile terminal 1 shown in FIG. 2 communicates with a control unit 11 that controls the entire apparatus, the information server 4 via the mobile communication network 2 and the Internet 3, and via the mobile communication network 2 and the Internet 3 or The communication control unit 12 that communicates with the broadcast service receiving terminal 7 without intervention, the input unit 13 that performs input by the user, the storage unit 14 that stores at least the channel selection time schedule, and the broadcast service based on the channel selection time schedule It is mainly composed of a channel selection request unit 15 that makes a channel selection request to the receiving terminal 7 and a mode change unit 16 that changes a mode between the automatic channel selection mode and the manual channel selection mode.

  In the mobile terminal 1 shown in FIG. 2, when a user inputs preference information as a search condition from the input unit 13, the preference information is sent from the communication control unit 12 to the information server 4 via the mobile communication network 2 and the Internet 3. It is done. The preference information is registered in the storage unit 14 when input to the mobile terminal 1. In the mobile terminal 1, the channel selection time schedule sent from the information server 4 is received by the communication control unit 12 and stored in the storage unit 14. Then, the channel selection requesting unit 15 requests the broadcast service receiving terminal 7 to select a channel with reference to the channel selection time schedule. That is, a control signal for requesting channel selection is transmitted from the communication control unit 12 of the mobile terminal 1 to the broadcast service receiving terminal 7. Here, the preference information refers to information including a favorite music genre, artist name, song name, and the like. Note that the preference information is not limited to this.

  FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of the information server in the automatic channel selection system according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. The information server 4 shown in FIG. 3 communicates with the mobile terminal 1 via the mobile communication network 2 and the Internet 3 with the control unit 41 that controls the entire apparatus, and also communicates with the broadcast information server 5 and the broadcast station 6. A communication control unit, a storage unit 43 for storing broadcast information disclosed by the broadcast station 6, a selection unit 44 for selecting broadcast stations that can be broadcast based on the area information of the mobile terminal 1, and a selected broadcast station Is mainly composed of a matching unit 45 that performs matching between the broadcast information and the preference information input to the mobile terminal 1 and a schedule creation unit 46 that creates a channel selection time schedule using the matched broadcast information. ing.

  In the information server 4 shown in FIG. 3, preference information sent from the mobile terminal 1 is received by the communication control unit 42, and the preference information is stored in the storage unit 43. Also, the broadcast information of the broadcast station 6 sent from the broadcast information server 5 is received by the communication control unit 42 and the broadcast information is stored in the storage unit 43. The information server 4 performs broadcast station automatic channel selection processing (broadcast station selection, corresponding broadcast station selection, and selection time schedule creation). That is, the sorting unit 44 sorts broadcast stations that can be broadcast based on area information of the mobile terminal 1 (information such as in which area the mobile terminal 1 exists). The area information of the mobile terminal 1 can be obtained from the communication control unit 42 that communicates with the mobile terminal 1. Then, the matching unit 45 performs matching between the broadcast information of the selected broadcasting stations and the preference information input from the mobile terminal 1. Thereafter, the schedule creation unit 46 creates a channel selection time schedule using the matched broadcast information. In the information server 4, the created channel selection time schedule is sent from the communication control unit 42 to the mobile terminal 1 via the Internet 3 and the mobile communication network 2. The broadcast information includes information (time schedule) scheduled by the broadcast station 6 and event information.

  In the automatic channel selection system having such a configuration, the broadcast station is automatically selected based on the result of the matching search between the preference information input by the user to the mobile terminal 1 and the broadcast information that has been made public. Can be selected. This automatic channel selection is preferably performed every time the area information of the mobile terminal 1 is changed or in a preset search cycle.

  According to such an automatic channel selection system, it is possible to automatically select a broadcasting station by registering preference information in advance in the mobile terminal 1, and the user does not have to consider where he is. It is possible to view music and programs of a favorite genre, artist, and song title. Therefore, according to the automatic channel selection system of the present invention, the channel is automatically selected based on the information of the broadcast station, that is, the broadcast service receiving terminal selects the channel according to the broadcast time schedule of the broadcast station. Therefore, the user's favorite program can be viewed without changing the content broadcast by the broadcast station.

  Next, the automatic channel selection method according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described using FIG. 4 to FIG.

  When the user inputs a favorite genre, artist, and song title from the input unit 13 of the mobile terminal 1, the preference information is registered in the storage unit 14. This preference information is sent from the communication control unit 1 to the information server 4 via the mobile communication network 2 and the Internet 3 (ST11). In the information server 4, when the preference information is received via the communication control unit 42, the preference information is stored in the storage unit 43 (ST14).

  On the other hand, broadcast information such as a broadcast time schedule and event information set in advance by the broadcast station 6 is subjected to public processing, that is, sent to the broadcast information server 5 (ST12). It is released so that it can be viewed (ST13). The broadcast information is sent from the broadcast information server 5 to the information server 4 and stored in the storage unit 43 in the information server 4 (ST14).

  In the information server 4, the selection unit 44 selects broadcast stations 6 that can broadcast based on the area information of the mobile terminal 1 (ST15). In this case, the selection unit 44 acquires area information (cell information) indicating in which area the mobile terminal 1 exists from the communication control unit 42 from the signal from the mobile terminal 1. The selection unit 44 has correspondence information that associates the area information of the mobile terminal 1 with the information of the broadcast area of the broadcast station 6. For this reason, broadcast stations 6 that can broadcast are selected from the area information of the mobile terminal 1 acquired from the communication control unit 42 and the correspondence information. In addition, in the area | region with which an area overlaps, priority is given to an area with high communication intensity about which area is given priority, for example.

  Next, in the information server 4, the matching unit 45 performs matching between the broadcast information of the selected broadcast station and the preference information from the mobile terminal 1 (ST16). The matching unit 45 extracts the preference information and broadcast information stored in the storage unit 43, and extracts a program in the broadcast information having the user's favorite genre, artist, song name, and the like included in the preference information. Then, the matching unit 45 outputs broadcast information including the extracted program to the selection unit 44, and the selection unit 44 selects a corresponding broadcast station that provides broadcast information including the extracted program (ST17). In addition, although the case where the broadcast station selection, matching, and the corresponding broadcast station selection are performed by the processing units of the selection unit 44 and the matching unit 45 is described here, the broadcast station selection, matching, and the corresponding broadcast station are performed by one processing unit. Sorting may be performed. Further, the matching and the selection of the corresponding broadcast station may be performed according to the priority of the user preference information. For example, the corresponding broadcast stations are preferentially selected in the order of song name → artist name → genre. Note that these pieces of information for determining the priority are examples, and can be changed as appropriate.

  Next, in the information server 4, the schedule creation unit 46 creates a channel selection time schedule using the matched broadcast information (ST18). The extracted information of the corresponding broadcast station is sent from the selection unit 44 to the schedule creation unit 46 together with information such as the program and event information. The schedule creation unit 46 creates a unique channel selection time schedule for the user with reference to the program and event information of the corresponding broadcast station. This broadcast time schedule is stored in the storage unit 43 as necessary. The channel selection time schedule is sent from the communication control unit 42 to the mobile terminal 1 via the Internet 3 and the mobile communication network 2.

  In the mobile terminal 1, the channel selection time schedule received by the communication control unit 12 is stored in the storage unit 14 (ST19). Next, the channel selection request unit 15 refers to the channel selection time schedule stored in the storage unit 14 and makes a channel selection request to the broadcast service receiving terminal 7 (ST20). Specifically, the mobile terminal 1 transmits channel selection information to the broadcast service receiving terminal 7 via the communication control unit 12. When receiving the channel selection information, the broadcast service receiving terminal 7 performs a channel selection process according to the channel selection information (ST21). That is, a broadcast station is selected according to the channel selection information, and music or the like broadcast by the broadcast station is output.

  As described above, according to the automatic channel selection system according to the first embodiment, based on the result of performing a matching search between the preference information input to the mobile terminal 1 by the user and the broadcast information that has been made public. Broadcast stations can be automatically selected. Therefore, it is possible to automatically select a broadcast station using the mobile terminal 1 regardless of the broadcast wave reception area.

  In this system, it is conceivable that the mobile terminal 1 moves and moves out of the broadcastable area of the broadcast station. In this case, it is determined whether it is necessary to automatically change the broadcasting station, and if it is necessary to change the broadcasting station, broadcasting station selection, matching, and corresponding broadcasting station selection are performed. For example, such processing is performed according to the procedure shown in FIG.

  After inputting the search condition (preference information) (ST31), the information server 4 determines whether or not it is necessary to change the broadcasting station (broadcastable station) (ST32). This determination is performed using correspondence information that associates the area information of the mobile terminal 1 and the broadcast area information of the broadcast station 6 based on the transmission signal of the mobile terminal 1. When it is necessary to change the broadcasting station, matching is performed according to the priority to select the corresponding broadcasting station. That is, matching and broadcasting station selection are first performed by song name search (ST34), and if there is no corresponding broadcasting station by song name search, matching and broadcasting station selection is performed by artist name search (ST35), and corresponding broadcasting is performed by artist name search. If there is no station, matching and broadcasting station selection are performed by genre search (ST35). If there is a corresponding broadcasting station, as described above, a tuning time schedule is created and a tuning request is made from the mobile terminal 1 to the broadcasting service receiving terminal 7 (ST37).

  Even when the area information is not changed, broadcast station selection, matching, and corresponding broadcast station selection may be performed when a predetermined set time has elapsed. In this case, even if there is no need to change the broadcasting station, it is determined whether or not the set time elapses (ST33). When the set time elapses, broadcast station selection, matching, and corresponding broadcast station selection are performed. For example, as described above, the corresponding broadcast stations are selected by song name search, artist search, and genre search (ST34 to ST36), a channel selection schedule is created, and a channel selection request is made to the broadcast service receiving terminal 7 (ST37). . It is not always necessary to input search conditions every time a broadcast station is changed.

  There is also a case where it is desired to use automatic tuning and manual tuning separately. In this case, the mode changing unit 16 of the mobile terminal 1 switches between the automatic channel selection mode and the manual channel selection mode. In the automatic channel selection mode, automatic channel selection is performed by the above-described processing. In the manual channel selection mode, the user manually selects a channel for the broadcast service receiving terminal 7 without using this system. Furthermore, in the mode in which automatic channel selection is prioritized, processing is performed according to the procedure shown in FIG. 6, for example.

  First, it is determined whether or not the automatic channel selection mode is set (ST41). In automatic channel selection mode, it is determined whether or not manual channel selection is selected (ST42). When manual channel selection is selected, it is determined whether or not a preset time has elapsed in order to resume automatic channel selection (ST43). That is, although manual channel selection has been selected, when a predetermined time has elapsed, the mode returns to the automatic channel selection mode. Therefore, manual tuning can be performed in a state where the set time has not elapsed until automatic tuning (automatic search) is resumed (ST44). On the other hand, when the set time elapses, the mode returns to the automatic channel selection mode, and thereafter, as described above, the broadcasting station selection, matching, and corresponding broadcasting station selection are performed. That is, broadcast station selection and matching are performed to determine whether there is a corresponding broadcast station (ST45). If there is a corresponding broadcast station, a broadcast time schedule is created, and the broadcast service receiving terminal 7 is created according to the broadcast time schedule. (ST46).

Then, the matching unit 18 outputs broadcast information including the extracted program to the selection unit 17, and the selection unit 17 selects a corresponding broadcast station that provides broadcast information including the extracted program (ST57). In addition, although the case where the broadcast station selection, matching, and the corresponding broadcast station selection are performed by the processing units of the selection unit 17 and the matching unit 18 is described here, the broadcast station selection, matching, and the corresponding broadcast station are performed by one processing unit. Sorting may be performed. Further, the matching and the selection of the corresponding broadcast station may be performed according to the priority of the user preference information. For example, the corresponding broadcast stations are preferentially selected in the order of song name → artist name → genre. Note that these pieces of information for determining the priority are examples, and can be changed as appropriate.

  Next, in the mobile terminal 1, the schedule creation unit 19 creates a channel selection time schedule using the matched broadcast information (ST58). The extracted information of the corresponding broadcasting station is sent from the selection unit 17 to the schedule creation unit 19 together with information such as the program and event information. The schedule creation unit 19 creates a unique channel selection time schedule for the user with reference to the program and event information of the corresponding broadcast station. This broadcast time schedule is stored in the storage unit 14 as necessary.

  Next, the channel selection request unit 15 refers to the channel selection time schedule stored in the storage unit 14 and makes a channel selection request to the broadcast service receiving terminal 7 (ST59). Specifically, the mobile terminal 1 transmits channel selection information to the broadcast service receiving terminal 7 via the communication control unit 12. When receiving the channel selection information, the broadcast service receiving terminal 7 performs channel selection processing according to the channel selection information (ST60). That is, a broadcast station is selected according to the channel selection information, and music or the like broadcast by the broadcast station is output.
