CHANNEL SELECTIVE INFORMATION TRANSMITTING DEVICE, CHANNEL SELECTIVE INFORMATION TRANSMITTING METHOD AND ITS PROGRAM, AND MEMORY MEDIUM

摘要

A channel selective information transmitting device is provided for making it possible to carry out the collection of watching information more accurately even if there is dispersion of watching channels while suppressing useless facility arrangements. The present invention is directed to a channel selective information transmitting device that transmits channel selective information to inform channels of broadcast signals selected by the users to a watching information receiving server. The channel selective information transmitting device is provided with a channel change detecting unit for detecting channel changes, a transmission waiting time acquiring unit for acquiring a transmission waiting time until channel selective information in connection with the changes is transmitted, and a transmitting unit for transmitting the channel selective information after a lapse of the acquired transmission waiting time.
