摘要:
General electronic program information described on a general level and individual electronic program information described on an individual level are prepared according to electronic program information of a channel service of a broadcast service provider for each channel service according to electronic program information degree of detail setting information. The electronic program information degree of detail setting information indicates a degree of detail for the contents of the individual electronic program information described on an individual level and a degree of detail for contents of the general electronic program information described on a general level. The general level corresponds to a low degree of detail, and the individual level corresponds to a high degree of detail. One piece of individual electronic program information of a particular channel service and pieces of general electronic program information of channel services, other than the particular channel service, are multiplexed and transmitted to each viewer. Accordingly, the general electronic program information and the individual electronic program information can be transmitted while effectively using a data transmission band.

A program information producing apparatus broadcasts program information of a next program belonging to the same program group as a subjective program in addition to the program information of the subjective program. A broadcast receiving apparatus displays the program information of the next program based on the received program information of the subjective program, thereby allowing a viewer to make a reservation of the next program after checking its content during the user viewing each event of a series of programs.

General electronic program information described on a general level and individual electronic program information described on an individual level are prepared according to electronic program information of a channel service of a broadcast service provider for each channel service according to electronic program information degree of detail setting information. The electronic program information degree of detail setting information indicates a degree of detail for the contents of the individual electronic program information described on an individual level and a degree of detail for contents of the general electronic program information described on a general level. The general level corresponds to a low degree of detail, and the individual level corresponds to a high degree of detail. One piece of individual electronic program information of a particular channel service and pieces of general electronic program information of channel services, other than the particular channel service, are multiplexed and transmitted to each viewer. Accordingly, the general electronic program information and the individual electronic program information can be transmitted while effectively using a data transmission band.

The present invention makes arrangements for preventing data overflow from storage areas of store-type terminals in a data broadcast system distributing data over broadcast. There are provided a storage management part for managing storage areas of receiving machines, a database part for holding contents data and storage management information, which is data for managing the capacities of storage areas of the receiving machines, and a schedule management part for scheduling data distribution, wherein the storage management part uses a change history of storage management information and data contents held in the database part to perform control such as deletion, size decrease, addition, and size increase of the contents data, and the schedule management part manages the capacities of storage areas of the receiving machines by scheduling the distribution of data to the receiving machines.
摘要:
A control information generating apparatus is provided which is used in broadcast systems designed to transmit audio and video signals and/or teletext signals together with video control information and program information in multiplexed form. The control information generating apparatus transmits EPG (Electronic Program Guide) information (i.e., control information) for transmission of the audio and video signals and includes a control information generating circuit and a control information outputting circuit. The control information generating circuit receives program schedule information on a program from a broadcast database to generate and output control information. The control information outputting circuit receives and output the control information to a multiplexer in which the control information and a data signal from an audio/video data transmitter are multiplexed and transmitted on a carrier wave.
