BROADCAST PROGRAM ACCUMULATION/REPRODUCTION DEVICE AND BROADCAST PROGRAM ACCUMULATION/REPRODUCTION METHOD

摘要

There is provided a broadcast program accumulation/reproduction device capable of continuously reproducing a program which is distributed/recorded in a plurality of devices. A reception level detection unit (105) detects the reception level of the received broadcast electric wave. When the reception level becomes a predetermined reception level or below, an accumulation request transmission unit (106) generates an accumulation start request packet and transmits it to a server (20). A management information write unit (107) writes management information in a terminal storage unit (104). A continuous reproduction control unit (108) judges whether a program is distributed/accumulated in storage means and an external device according to the management information. When the program is distributed/accumulated, the continuous reproduction control unit (108) acquires parts of the program from the terminal storage unit (104) and the server (20) so as to continuously reproduce them. When the program is not distributed/accumulated, the continuous reproduction control unit (108) acquires the program from the terminal storage unit (104) and reproduces it.
