When an arbitrary title name is selected as a reproduction target by a user operation from the list screen, the recorded data is read and reproduced.

FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining the contents of the address book storage unit AD.
The address book is configured to store a plurality of communication partner information including communication partner identification information, the contents of which are arbitrarily registered by a user operation. “Book ID”, “Name”, “Telephone Number (Home)”, “Location Information of Area Code Area”, “Telephone Number (Mobile)”, “Location Information of Contract Area”, “Mail Address”, “Address” , “Address position information”, “communication position (previous)”, “instruction transmission count”, and “recording execution count”. “Name” is an essential registration item, but “phone number (home)”, “phone number (mobile)”, “email address”, and “address” are optional registration items. “−” Attached to an item indicates an item for which information is not registered. The address book can store, for example, address book data for a maximum of 500 people.

  The “address book ID” is a serial number assigned to each communication partner. “Name”, “telephone number (home)”, “telephone number (mobile)”, and “mail address” are identification information that can identify a communication partner. “Telephone number (home)” is a telephone number of a fixed telephone set installed at home. The “location information of the area code area” is the position information derived from the identification information of the communication partner, that is, the position information estimated as the region where the communication partner exists from the “telephone number (home)”. By accessing the database server 9 via the Internet 5, the location information corresponding to the area indicated by the area code of “telephone number (home)” is received and acquired, and the “telephone number (home)” This is location information of the registered area code area.

  “Telephone number (mobile)” is the telephone number of the mobile phone device possessed by the other party. The “location information of the contract area” is the position information derived from the identification information of the communication partner, that is, the position information estimated as the region where the communication partner exists from the “telephone number (mobile phone)”. 5, the location information corresponding to the contract area indicated by the number of “phone number (mobile)” (number of 090 or 080 or lower) is received and acquired, and “phone number (mobile)” is accessed. "Is the location information of the contract area registered corresponding to". " “Address”, “address location information”, “communication location (previous)”, “instruction transmission count”, and “recording execution count” are other communication partner information. “Address” and “location information of address” are address information of the communication partner, and “location information of address” is location information estimated as a place where the “address” communication partner is located, and the wireless communication network 4, By accessing the database server 9 via the Internet 5, the location information of the point indicated by “address” is received and acquired, and is address information registered corresponding to “address”.

  “Communication position (previous)” is position information of the partner acquired when communicating with the communication partner. In other words, “communication position (previous)” is position information (the previous position information of the communication partner) indicating the location of the communication partner at the time of the previous communication, and is automatically updated every time communication (call or mail) is performed. The “Number of instruction transmissions” is a cumulative value indicating the number of times of recording instruction transmission before, and “Number of times of recording execution” is a cumulative number of times of actual recording execution of previous recording instruction transmissions. Value. The “instruction transmission count” and the “recording execution count” may be, for example, cumulative values for a predetermined period (for example, one month).

  The contents of the address book are read out and displayed as a list when the address book is displayed. In addition, when extracting a communication partner to which a recording instruction is transmitted from the address book, the CPU 11 refers to the address book, and a communication partner (reservation that is likely to be in or near the broadcast area where the reserved program is broadcast). The communication partner that can record the program) is estimated. That is, the CPU 11 does not have to acquire all the location information of each communication partner stored in the address book in order to specify a communication partner in or near an area where the reserved program can be recorded, without the program information being acquired. And one of the communication partners (multiple or single communication partner) is extracted from the address book based on the communication partner information, and the position information (current position information) of the communication partner is obtained, It is determined whether or not the user is actually in or near the area where recording is possible, and a recording instruction is transmitted to the other party capable of recording.

  In addition, in the apparatus on the communication partner side that has received the recording instruction, when recording is performed according to the instruction, the recording data is transmitted to the mobile phone apparatus 1 that is the instruction source. It may be notified to the instructing mobile phone device 1 by e-mail or the like.

  Next, the operation concept of the cellular phone device 1 in this embodiment will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. Here, each function described in these flowcharts is stored in the form of a readable program code, and operations according to the program code are sequentially executed. In addition, the operation according to the above-described program code transmitted via the transmission medium can be sequentially executed. In other words, the operation unique to this embodiment can be executed by utilizing the program / data supplied externally via the transmission medium.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the overall operation of the mobile phone device 1 that is started to be executed when the power is turned on.
First, when a power-on operation for turning on the power is performed (YES in step A1), the CPU 11 performs a standby process for registering the current position by operating the wireless communication unit 14, and reads a predetermined standby image. The telephone / mail standby state is entered while displaying and outputting (step A2). When a setting operation is performed in this standby state (step A3), it is checked whether setting of recording instruction transmission conditions is instructed or address book registration is instructed (step A4). If the setting of the recording instruction transmission condition is instructed, the setting process is executed (step A5). This setting process corresponds to “send when recording”, “send when recording is not possible”, and “send one hour before recording” according to the user operation. Is set in the recording instruction transmission condition storage unit CD. If address book registration is instructed (NO in step A4), the process proceeds to execution of address book registration processing (step A6).

FIG. 8 is a flowchart for explaining in detail the address book registration process (step A6 in FIG. 4).
In this address book registration process, change registration for arbitrarily changing the contents of the address book or additional registration of new data is performed. When change registration is instructed (YES in step B1), the CPU 11 stores the address book. After the contents are displayed in a list (step B2), when the address book data to be changed is designated by the user operation from the address book screen (step B3), the screen is switched to the address book data change screen (step B4). ).

  Here, when the item to be changed is specified and new item data is input (step B5), the contents of the specified item in the address book are rewritten to the input data and the data of the item is changed ( Step B6) If the change item is any of “phone number (home)”, “phone number (mobile)”, and “address” (YES in step B7), the changed data is temporarily stored. (Step B8). Thereafter, until the end of the change is instructed (step B9), the process returns to the above-described step B5, and the process of changing the item data for each item is repeated.

  When the end of the change is instructed (YES in step B9), the changed data temporarily stored in step B8 described above is read, and the database server 9 is connected via the wireless communication network 4 and the Internet 5. Access (step B10), receive and acquire the corresponding location information based on the changed data of "phone number (home)", "phone number (mobile phone)", and "address". "Position information", "contract area position information", and "address position information" and change the contents of the item (step B11). In this case, by accessing the database server 9, the “location information of the area code area” is received and acquired from the database in which the area indicated by the area code is associated with the position information, and “phone number (mobile)” Receives and acquires “location information of the contract area” from the database that associates the contract area indicated by “” with the location information, and receives and acquires “location information of the address” from the database that associates the address information with the position information. To do.

  If new registration is instructed (NO in step B1), a new registration screen for address book data is displayed (step B12). Note that “name” is an essential registration item when registering new, whereas “phone number (home)”, “phone number (mobile)”, “email address”, and “address” are registered as necessary. It is an optional registration item. In this new registration screen, when an input item is specified and the item data is newly input (step B13), the data input to the specified item in the address book is newly registered (step B14), and then this registration is performed. If the item is any of “phone number (home)”, “phone number (mobile)”, and “address” (YES in step B15), this registration data is temporarily stored (step B16).

  Thereafter, until the end of registration is instructed (step B17), the process returns to the above-described step B13 and repeats the process of newly registering address book data for each record. Here, when the end of registration is instructed (YES in step B17), the registered item data temporarily stored in step B16 described above is read and the database server 9 is connected via the wireless communication network 4 and the Internet 5. (Step B18), receiving and acquiring corresponding position information based on the data of "phone number (home)", "phone number (mobile)", and "address" "Information", "Location information of contract area", and "Location information of address" are newly registered (step B19).

Further, when a voice transmission or mail transmission operation is performed in the standby state (step A7 in FIG. 7), a transmission process is executed (step A8). FIG. 9 is a flowchart for explaining in detail the calling process (step A8 in FIG. 7).
First, if it is a voice call operation (YES in Step C1), the CPU 11 makes a call to the telephone number of the communication partner (Step C2), and then makes a call possible state according to the line connection with this partner (Step C2) (Step C2). Step C3). When the line connection with the communication partner is interrupted, the position information of the communication partner is acquired (step C4), and this position information is written in the “communication position (previous)” in the corresponding address book. The position is updated (step C5).

  As described above, the location information of the communication partner may be received and acquired from the mobile phone device 1 of the partner via the wireless communication network 4 or received from the location information management server 7 via the wireless communication network 4. You may make it do. If a mail transmission operation has been performed (NO in step C1), a mail creation screen is displayed and the process proceeds to mail creation processing (step C6). Then, a call is made to the mail address of the communication partner (step C7). Then, the position information of the communication partner is acquired (step C4), and this position information is written in the “communication position (previous)” in the corresponding address book to update the communication position (step C5).

When a voice call or mail call is detected in the standby state (step A9 in FIG. 7), the incoming call process is executed (step A10). FIG. 10 is a flowchart for explaining the incoming call processing (step A10 in FIG. 7) in detail.
First, when the CPU 11 detects an incoming voice call based on an incoming call signal from the wireless communication unit 14 (YES in Step D1), it performs an incoming call notification with a ringing tone (Step D2) and then a line with the communication partner. In response to the connection, a voice call is possible (step D3). When the line connection with the communication partner is interrupted, the location information of the communication partner is acquired (step D4), and this location information is written in the “communication location (previous)” in the corresponding address book. The communication position is updated (step D5).

  When an incoming mail is detected (NO in step D1), the incoming mail is notified by a ring tone (step D7), and the incoming mail is stored (step D8). When the line connection with the communication partner is interrupted, the location information of the communication partner is acquired (step D4), and this location information is written in the “communication location (previous)” in the corresponding address book. The communication position is updated (step D5).

In addition, when a reservation operation for reserving a recording of a television broadcast or a radio broadcast is performed in the standby state (YES in step A11 in FIG. 7), a reservation process is executed (step A12). FIG. 11 is a flowchart for explaining the reservation process (step A12 in FIG. 7) in detail.
First, the CPU 11 obtains program information (step E1). At this time, the program information superimposed on the television broadcast signal / radio broadcast signal is separated from the broadcast signal, or the wireless communication network 4 and the Internet 5 are connected. The program information is received from the TV / radio program information server 6 via the Internet. When the program information of the broadcast program to be recorded is designated by the user operation from the program information (step E2), reservation information is generated based on the program information and additionally stored in the reservation information storage unit RV ( Step E3).

  Then, with reference to the recording instruction transmission condition storage unit CD, the recording instruction transmission condition with the “setting flag” set to “1” is read (step E4), and it is checked whether the condition of “send at reservation” is set (step S4). E5) If the condition of “send at reservation” is not set (NO at step E5), the process exits the flow to end the reservation process at this point, but the condition of “send at reservation” Is set (YES in step E5), the process proceeds to execution of a process (record instruction transmission process) for transmitting a recording instruction of the reserved program at the time of a reservation operation (step E6).

12 and 13 are flowcharts for explaining the recording instruction transmission process (step E6 in FIG. 11) in detail.
First, the CPU 11 sets an initial value “1” in the address book pointer N (step F1), and then reads the Nth address book data designated by the value of the pointer N (step F2). First, the first address book data (first record) is read. Then, processing for estimating whether recording is possible from the program information of the broadcast program to be recorded and the position of the communication partner is executed. At this time, the address, communication position, and telephone number (communication partner information in the address book) The estimation is performed in the order of home) and phone number (mobile).

  First, if the address information is registered in the address book data designated by the address book pointer N (YES in step F3), the CPU 11 reads the corresponding “address position information” (step F4) and records it. Whether or not recording is possible is determined from the program information of the broadcast program to be performed and “address position information” in the address book, and the determination result is temporarily stored (step F5). In this case, if information indicating the broadcasting area is included in the program information, it is determined whether or not recording is possible depending on whether or not the “address location information” of the communication partner falls within or near this broadcasting area. To do. If the program information does not include a broadcast indicating the broadcast area, information indicating the broadcast area of the program is received and acquired from the TV / radio program information server 6 via the Internet 5, and then the broadcast area or Whether or not recording is possible is determined according to whether or not the “address location information” of the communication partner is in the vicinity.

  If the address information is not registered but the previous communication position information is registered (YES in step F6), “communication position (previous)” is read (step F7), and the broadcast program instructing recording is read. The program information and “communication position (previous)” are discriminated to determine whether or not recording is possible, and the discrimination result is temporarily stored (step F8). Even in this case, whether or not recording is possible is determined according to the broadcast area in the program information and the “communication position (previous)”. If the broadcast area is not included in the program information, the broadcast area is set as a TV / radio program. After receiving and acquiring from the information server 6, it is determined whether or not recording is possible according to the broadcast area and the “location information of address”.

  In addition, the address information and the previous communication location information are not registered, but if the telephone number (home) information is registered (YES in step F9), the corresponding “area code area location information” is displayed. Reading (step F10), it is determined whether or not recording is possible from the program information of the broadcast program for which recording is instructed and “location information of the area code area”, and the determination result is temporarily stored (step F11). In this case as well, whether or not recording is possible is determined according to the broadcast area in the program information and the "location information of the area code area". If the broadcast area is not included in the program information, the broadcast area is After receiving and acquiring from the radio program information server 6, whether or not recording is possible is determined according to this broadcast area and "location information of the area code area".

  In addition, if the address information, the previous communication position information, and the telephone number (home) information are not registered, but the telephone number (mobile) information is registered (YES in step F12), the corresponding “contract area” "Position information" is read out (step F13), the recordability is discriminated from the program information of the broadcast program instructed to be recorded and "position information of the contract area", and the determination result is temporarily stored (step F14). Even in this case, whether or not recording is possible is determined according to the broadcast area in the program information and the “location information of the contract area”, and if the broadcast area is not included in the program information, the broadcast area is set as a TV / radio program. After receiving and acquiring from the information server 6, whether or not recording is possible is determined according to the broadcast area and the “location information of the contract area”.

  Thereafter, until reading of all address book data is completed (YES in step F15), after adding “1” to the address book pointer N (step F16), the process returns to the above-described step F2 and returns to the Nth address. The above operation is repeated while reading the book data. When reading of all items is completed (YES in step F15), only recordable communication partners are extracted from the recordability determination result temporarily stored for each communication partner as described above (step F17). . In this case, an upper limit of the number of people to be extracted may be provided.

  When such extraction processing is completed, the flow proceeds to the flow of FIG. 13, and an initial value “1” is set to the narrowing pointer NN for further narrowing down from the communication partners extracted as described above (step). F18), the position information (current position information) of the NNth communication partner designated by the value of the narrowing pointer NN is acquired and temporarily stored (step F19). As described above, the location information of the communication partner may be received and acquired from the mobile phone device 1 of the partner via the wireless communication network 4 or from the location information management server 7 via the wireless communication network 4. You may make it receive and acquire. Next, it is determined whether or not recording is possible from the program information of the broadcast program to be recorded and the position information (current position information) of the communication partner, and the determination result is temporarily stored (step F20). In this case, whether or not recording is possible is determined depending on whether or not the current position of the communication partner falls within or near this broadcast area.

  Thereafter, it is checked whether or not all the communication partners extracted as described above have been specified (step F21), and update processing is performed to add “1” to the value of the narrow-down pointer NN until all of the communication partners have been specified (step F22). ), Returning to the above-described step F19, and thereafter repeating the above-described operation. When the determination of whether or not everyone can record is completed (YES in step F21), the recordable / non-recordable determination result temporarily stored for each communication partner as described above is referred to, and the recordable communication partner is recorded from among the results. Is extracted (step F23).

  In this case, in the state in which the extracted identification information of the communication partner is read from the address book and displayed in a list, any communication partner may be selectable from the list screen by a user operation. By accessing the address book based on the other party and comparing the “instruction transmission count” or “recording execution count” of each communication counterpart, the communication counterpart with the highest “instruction transmission count” or the “recording execution count” is the highest. A communication partner may be automatically selected. Note that the number of persons to be extracted is not limited to one person, and a plurality of persons may be extracted.

  And a recording instruction | indication is transmitted with respect to the communicating party extracted as mentioned above (step F24). In this case, the “mail address” of the communication partner is read from the address book, and a recording request mail including program information to be recorded is transmitted to the mail address. Next, the “address book ID” of the communication partner is read from the address book, and the reservation information is updated by storing this “address book ID” in the “recording instruction” of the reservation information storage unit RV (step F25). .

In addition, when the timing for detecting whether recording is possible is reached every predetermined time (for example, 10 minutes) in the standby state (YES in step A13 in FIG. 7), the process proceeds to recording availability detection processing (step A14). FIG. 14 is a flowchart for explaining in detail the record availability detection process (step A14 in FIG. 7).
First, the CPU 11 refers to the recording instruction transmission condition storage unit CD, reads out the recording instruction transmission condition whose “setting flag” is “1” (step G1), and sets the condition of “send when recording is impossible”. (Step G2), and if the condition of “send when recording is not possible” is not set (NO in step G2), the process exits the flow to end the recordability detection process at this point. If the condition “send when recording is not possible” is set (YES in step G2), the reservation information storage unit RV is searched, “record flag” is “0”, and “record instruction” is “−”. Is checked for reservation information (step G3).

  In other words, it is checked whether or not there is reservation information for which no data has been recorded yet and no recording instruction has been given (reservation information for a broadcast program to be recorded from now). Read (step G4). Then, the self position information is acquired and stored (step G5). As described above, the position information may be calculated and acquired based on the signal received from the GPS satellite 8 or received from the position information management server 7 via the wireless communication network 4. You may make it do. Alternatively, the position information of the user may be periodically acquired and stored, and the latest position information may be read and acquired. Then, the process proceeds to a discrimination process for discriminating whether or not the reserved program can be normally recorded by the own mobile phone device 1 (step G6).

FIG. 15 is a flowchart for explaining the discrimination process (step G6 in FIG. 14) in detail.
First, the CPU 11 determines whether or not recording is possible from the program information of the broadcast program to be recorded and its own position information, and temporarily stores the determination result (step H1). In this case, when information indicating a broadcast area is included in the program information, it is determined whether or not recording is possible depending on whether or not the own position information corresponds to or near the broadcast area. If the broadcast information indicating the broadcast area is not included in the program information, information indicating the broadcast area of the program is received and acquired from the TV / radio program information server 6 via the Internet 5, and then the broadcast area is displayed. Whether or not recording is possible is determined depending on whether or not its own position information corresponds to or near the inside.

  Next, it is determined whether recording is possible from the program information of the broadcast program to be recorded and the current reception status of the television broadcast / radio broadcast communication unit 16, and the determination result is temporarily stored (step H2). In this case, whether or not recording is possible is determined based on whether or not the “channel / frequency” broadcast included in the program information can be normally received. In addition, the remaining storage capacity of the recording data storage unit RD is calculated and acquired, the recordability is determined from the remaining storage capacity and the program information, and the determination result is temporarily stored (step H3). In this case, the storage capacity required for recording is calculated from the time information (broadcast time zone) included in the program information, the storage capacity is compared with the remaining storage capacity, and the storage capacity ≦ the remaining storage capacity. If the storage capacity is greater than the remaining storage capacity, it is determined that the recording is impossible.

  Further, the detection result is acquired from the remaining battery level detection unit 22, and whether or not recording is possible is determined from the remaining battery level and the program information, and the determination result is temporarily stored (step H4). In this case, the battery consumption required for the recording is calculated from the time information (broadcast time zone) included in the program information, and the battery consumption is compared with the remaining battery charge. If it is an amount, it is determined that recording is possible, but if battery consumption is greater than the remaining battery level, it is determined that storage is impossible.

  When such determination processing (step G6 in FIG. 14) is completed, the determination result temporarily stored as described above is referred to determine whether or not recording is possible (step G7). If there is recording failure, the recording instruction transmission process shown in FIGS. 12 and 13 is performed (step G8). In other words, on the condition that the reserved broadcast program cannot be normally recorded in its own mobile phone device 1 (YES in step G7), a process (recording) for requesting recording to a recordable communication partner. The process proceeds to the instruction transmission process.

Further, every time the time update is detected in the standby state (every second) (YES in step A15 in FIG. 7), the process proceeds to execution of the reservation recording process (step A16). FIG. 16 is a flowchart for explaining the reservation recording process (step A16 in FIG. 7) in detail.
First, the CPU 11 refers to the recording instruction transmission condition storage unit CD, reads the recording instruction transmission condition whose “setting flag” is “1” (step J1), and sets the condition of “send one hour before recording”. (Step J2), and if the condition “send one hour before recording” is not set (NO in Step J2), the process proceeds to Step J9 described later, but “send one hour before recording” If the condition “Yes” is set (YES in Step J2), the current time is acquired from the RTC 21 and the reservation information storage unit RV is searched. The “record flag” is “0” and the “record instruction” is set. The presence or absence of reservation information “-” and one hour after the current time is checked (step J3).

  That is, it is checked whether or not there is reservation information for a broadcast program that is scheduled to be recorded one hour from now. If there is no corresponding reservation information (NO in step J3), the process proceeds to step J9 described later. If there is (YES in step J3), the reservation information is read (step J4). Then, after acquiring and storing its own location information (step J5), the process proceeds to a discrimination process (see FIG. 15) for discriminating whether or not the reserved program can be normally recorded by the mobile phone device 1 (step 15). J6). As a result, it is checked whether or not recording is possible (step J7). If there is no recording impossible, the process proceeds to step J9 described later. If there is recording impossible (YES in step J7), the recording shown in FIGS. The process proceeds to instruction transmission processing (step J8). That is, on the condition that the reserved broadcast program cannot be normally recorded in its own mobile phone device 1 (YES in step J7), a process for requesting recording to a communication partner capable of recording the program (YES in step J7). (Recording instruction transmission processing) is executed.

  On the other hand, in step J9 described above, the current time is acquired from the RTC 21, and the presence or absence of reservation information that matches the current time is checked. As a result, if there is no corresponding reservation information, the process exits the flow to end the reservation recording process at this point, but if there is reservation information that matches the current time (YES in step J9), the reservation information is changed. Read (step J10). Then, it is checked whether the “recording instruction” is “−” (step J11). Here, if the “recording instruction” is not “−”, the recording instruction has already been issued to one of the communication partners, so that the flow is skipped, but if it is “−” (YES in step J11), the television The broadcast / radio broadcast communication unit 16 is driven to receive the broadcast program indicated by the reservation information (step J12), and the operation of recording the broadcast program in the recording data storage unit RD is started (step J13). Then, in addition to setting “1” to the “record flag” of the reservation information, the storage destination of the recording data storage unit RD is set to “record ID” to update the reservation information (step J14).

Further, in the standby state, when the recording data recorded by the partner apparatus that has instructed recording of the reserved program is received (YES in step A17 in FIG. 7), the process proceeds to the reception data storing process (step A18). . FIG. 17 is a flowchart for explaining the received data storing process (step A18 in FIG. 7) in detail.
First, when the CPU 11 receives the recording data recorded by the counterpart apparatus that has instructed recording of the reserved program, the CPU 11 fetches the received data from the wireless communication unit 14 and stores it in the recording data storage unit RD (step K1). Then, the “record flag” “1” in the reservation information is set, the storage destination of the recording data storage unit RD is set to “record ID”, and the reservation information is updated (step K2). "1" is added to the "recording execution count" in the address book data and updated (step K3).

  If a power-off operation is performed in the standby state (YES in step A19), the CPU 11 performs a power-off process (step A20), and if any other operation is performed (YES in step A21), this operation is performed. As a corresponding process, for example, a website browsing process, a reproduction process for arbitrarily reading and reproducing the contents of the recording data storage unit RD, and the like are performed (step A22).

  As described above, in this embodiment, when the CPU 11 extracts a communication partner instructing recording of a broadcast program from a plurality of communication partners stored in the address book storage unit AD, the program information and the address book are extracted. Since one of the communication partners is extracted from the address book on the basis of the communication partner information and the position information is acquired, the load of the position acquisition process can be reduced. In other words, without acquiring all the location information of a plurality of communication partners, it is possible to acquire the location information after narrowing down the communication partners to be position acquisition targets from among the plurality of communication partners. The load can be reduced.

  When extracting a communication partner for location acquisition from the address book, the communication partner is extracted based on the broadcast area information of the broadcast program and the “location information of the address” corresponding to the “address” in the address book. Therefore, it is possible to narrow down the communication partners whose position is to be acquired depending on whether the address information is within or close to the broadcasting area.

  In addition, when extracting the communication partner to be acquired from the address book, the communication partner is extracted based on the broadcast area of the broadcast program and the communication position (previous) in the address book. It is possible to narrow down the communication partners whose positions are to be acquired, depending on whether the position of the other party corresponds to the broadcasting area or an area close thereto.

  In addition, when extracting the communication partner for location acquisition from the address book, the “location information of the area code area” corresponding to the broadcast area of the broadcast program and the “phone number (home)” in the address book Since the communication partner is extracted based on the information, the communication partner whose position is to be acquired can be narrowed down from the position information derived from the “telephone number (home)”. In addition, when extracting the communication partner for which location information is to be acquired from the address book, the communication partner is extracted based on its own location information and “location information of contract area” corresponding to “phone number (mobile)” As a result, it is possible to narrow down the communication partners of the position acquisition target from the position information derived from the “telephone number (mobile)”.

  Compared to the "communication transmission count" in the address book from the communication partners extracted as recordable communication partners, and sent broadcast program recording instructions to communication partners with a large number of Can be requested to the other party, and the probability of recording being rejected can be reduced and the probability of recording can be increased.

  Compared to the number of recording executions in the address book among the communication partners extracted as recordable communication partners, and sent broadcast program recording instructions to communication partners with a large number of It is possible to request the other party who has recorded in response to the request, to reduce the probability of recording being rejected and to increase the probability of recording.

  By transmitting a broadcast program recording instruction a predetermined time before the broadcast start time (one hour before), there is a time to transmit a recording instruction to another communication partner when recording is rejected by the communication partner. it can. Further, when the communication partner manually performs a recording operation, it is possible to have the time. That is, since it is possible to have time corresponding to various situations, the probability of recording can be increased.

  In the mobile phone device provided with the television broadcast / radio broadcast communication unit 16, when the CPU 11 cannot record a broadcast program, the CPU 11 prevents other communication partners from recording the broadcast program, thereby preventing oversight and oversight. be able to.

  In the above-described embodiment, as shown in the flow of FIG. 12, the address information (step F3), the communication position, and the like when the recording possibility is estimated from the program information of the broadcast program to be recorded and the position of the communication partner. Information (step F5), telephone number (home) information (step F8), and telephone number (mobile) information (step F11) are estimated in the priority order, but the priority order is arbitrary, and either The estimation is not limited to a single piece of information but may be a combination of a plurality of pieces of information. Moreover, you may make it display guidance which information was estimated using.

In the above-described embodiment, when a recording instruction is transmitted to the communication partner extracted from the address book, the “mail address” of the communication partner is read from the address book, and the recording request includes program information to be recorded. The e-mail is transmitted to the e-mail address, but a control signal instructing recording is transmitted to the other device (broadcast recording device such as a mobile phone device) via the wireless communication network 4 and the Internet 5 and the other party's The apparatus may be remotely controlled.
In the above-described embodiment, a recording instruction is transmitted to one or more extracted communication partners. However, the “instruction transmission count”, “recording execution count”, or “ Priority is given based on `` position information '', a recording instruction is sent to a communication partner with a high priority, and if a reply indicating that recording is not possible is received from that communication partner, the communication partner with the next priority is sent However, this operation may be continued until a recording instruction is transmitted, and thereafter, a reply that the recording is accepted is received.
In the above-described embodiment, the recording instruction includes program information to be recorded. However, the recording instruction may further include information indicating whether or not to transmit the recording data of the program to the mobile phone device 1. Good. For example, when the transmission destination of the recording instruction is a home broadcast recording apparatus, the user may view the recorded data after returning home. This information may be specified in advance for each communication partner by the user, or may be specified when a recording instruction is transmitted.

  In the above-described embodiment, the determination process is executed in step J6 of the flow (reservation recording process) in FIG. 16. However, in the case of “send one hour before recording”, this determination process (step J6) may not be executed (regardless of whether or not recording is possible), and the reservation information to be recorded after one hour may be transmitted to the communication partner as it is. In this reservation recording process, it is determined whether or not the recording instruction is “-” (step J11). Regardless of whether the recording instruction is transmitted or not, its own television broadcast / radio is transmitted. A broadcast program received by the broadcast communication unit 16 may be recorded.

  In the embodiment described above, all the data received in the flow (reception data storage process) of FIG. 17 is stored in the recording data storage unit RD, but only the data to be reproduced may be stored. Good. In this case, only the data designated as the reproduction target may be selected from the received data and stored in the recording data storage unit RD.

  In the recording instruction transmission process of FIG. 12, when it is determined whether or not recording is possible from the program information of the broadcast program to be recorded and “address location information” in the address book, information indicating the broadcast area is included in the program information. If this is the case, it is determined whether or not recording is possible depending on whether or not “address location information” of the communication partner is included in this broadcast area, and if the broadcast indicating the broadcast area is not included in the program information, After receiving and acquiring information indicating the broadcast area of the program from the TV / radio program information server 6, it is determined whether or not recording is possible depending on whether or not “address location information” of the communication partner is included in this broadcast area. However, for example, the position and program information indicated by the other party's address are transmitted to the TV / radio program information server 6 via the wireless communication network 4 and the Internet 5, and the position indicated by the other party's address is indicated in the broadcast area of the program. Included When whether Luke is judged in the server 6 side, the result of determination television and radio program information server 6 wireless communication network 4 from may be received via the Internet 5.

  Similarly, in the determination process of FIG. 15, when information indicating the broadcast area is included in the program information, it is determined whether or not recording is possible depending on whether or not its own position information is included in this broadcast area. If the broadcast information indicating the broadcast area is not included in the program information, information indicating the broadcast area of the program is received and acquired from the TV / radio program information server 6 and then it is located in this broadcast area. Whether or not recording is possible is determined depending on whether or not information is included. For example, the own position information and program information are transmitted to the television / radio program information server 6 via the wireless communication network 4 and the Internet 5. When the server 6 determines whether or not its own location information is included in the broadcast area of the program, the determination result is transmitted from the TV / radio program information server 6 to the wireless communication network 4 and the Internet 5. It may be received via.

  Further, in the reservation recording process of FIG. 16, in the determination process (step J6) in the case where the condition to be transmitted one hour before recording is satisfied, it is not determined from the current position and the current remaining amount, but one hour later. It is also possible to predict the position and remaining amount from the current position and the current remaining amount, and determine whether or not recording is possible from this predicted value. For example, it may be determined whether or not recording is possible from the position and remaining amount after 1 hour in consideration of the predicted movement amount per hour and the predicted storage capacity and predicted battery remaining amount after 1 hour.

In the above-described embodiment, when the address book is registered, the database server 6 is accessed via the wireless communication network 2 and the Internet 5, and “phone number (home)”, “phone number (mobile)”, “address” ”Based on the data, and correspondingly registered as“ location information of area code area ”,“ location information of contract area ”,“ location information of address ” The registration of “location information of area code area”, “location information of contract area”, and “location information of address” is not limited to registration in the address book, and may be arbitrary. Further, the registration is not limited to the address book, and may be registered in another table in association with the communication partner.
In the embodiment described above, a database in which “address” and “position information” are associated with each other, a database in which “area (location name) indicated by area code” and “position information” are associated with each other, “mobile phone” The database server 9 is provided with a database in which the “number”, “contracted area (place name) indicated by the mobile phone number” and “location information” are associated with each other. May be provided.

  In addition, the present invention is not limited to the mobile phone device, and can be similarly applied to a communication terminal device such as a PDA with a communication function, an electronic camera, an electronic wristwatch, and a music player.
