In a portable terminal apparatus, a CPU determines receiving condition of broadcast data received by a television broadcast receiving unit, while recording the received data, and records information indicating receiving condition according to the determination result. The CPU obtains information indicating recording condition of the recorded broadcast data based on information indicating receiving condition, and displays the obtained information on a main display unit. Specifically, the CPU sequentially receives time stamps synchronous with broadcast data while receiving and recording the broadcast data, and records them in time series as information indicating receiving condition. The CPU determines whether time stamps recorded in time series are temporally continuous, and specifies any error portion where the recorded broadcast data has not been received normally, according to the determination result. The CPU displays a bar chart showing distribution of error portions in the total broadcast data recorded, as information indicating recording condition.

In a mobile phone, a display section capable of 3D display, which includes a high-definition liquid crystal, has a liquid crystal layer for generating a parallax barrier on the front surface thereof. A central controlling section judges suitability in 3D display of content based on the contents of the content before displaying the content in the display section, and displays the content in 3D when the content is judged to be suitable for 3D display.

Terminal device including a three-dimensional capable display

When an instruction to change the display size of the content of a 1-segment broadcast received by a television broadcast communication unit is given while the content is being displayed on a display screen, and if it is possible to receive the content of a 12-segment broadcast continuously to the content of the 1-segment broadcast, a CPU switches to receiving the 12-segment broadcast and displays the broadcast content in the standard display size (second display size) of the 12-segment broadcast. If it is not possible to receive the 12-segment broadcast continuously to the 1-segment broadcast, the CPU displays the content of the 1-segment broadcast by changing it to the second display size.

Broadcasting receiver and information recording medium

Contents reserved to be recorded by a user manually operating a switch unit are stored in an EPG/reservation information memory as first reservation information. A CPU having acquired EPG data by a TV unit or a communication interface stores the acquired EPG data in the memory. By referring to the stored EPG data, program information corresponding to the stored first reservation information is extracted, and an ID of the extracted program information is added to the first reservation information. Therefore, the subsequent change of a broadcast schedule is made by referring to the EPG data to be acquired later. Even if a manual reservation is made, the user can reliably view or record a program desired to be reserved.

Apparatus and program for updating a reservation of a broadcast program based on program guide data

A controller of a handy terminal such as a cellular phone determines whether a headphone is connected or not when discriminating that reproduction output of sound data ends. With the headphone connected, the controller stores an end time in a time memory. When reproduction output of sound data is necessary, the controller determines whether or not a predetermined time has passed after the stored end time. When the controller detects that the predetermined time has passed, the controller changes the output destination of sound data from the headphone to a speaker for generation of a sound therefrom.

Sound outputting apparatus and sound outputting method

A cellular phone set comprises a control device, a display device, a speaker, a microphone, a camera, a storage device, a power supply section, a communication device, an opened and closed state detector, and an acceleration sensor for detecting a state in which a second case has been started to be opened with respect to a first case, a state in which the second case has been started to be superimposed (closed) with respect to the first case, or an acceleration in a state in which the second case is completely superimposed (closed).

Moving image capture device, moving image capture control method, and moving image capture control program

A portable device includes a data file storage device, a camera section with an image pickup function and a schedule management section that manages a user's schedule. The data file storage device includes a picture file storage region for storing picture files and a schedule storage region for storing schedule data. When storing a picture file of a picture picked up by the camera section in the picture file storage region, schedule data that matches the file creation date and time of the picture file is searched among the entire schedule data stored in advance in the schedule storage region. When there is schedule data that matches the file creation date and time, schedule character data that represents the content of the schedule is obtained and a filename and/or a folder name is created based on the schedule character data obtained, or the schedule character data is embedded in EXIF data and stored.

Data file storage device with automatic filename creation function, data file storage program and data file storage method
