Abstract
A received broadcast data dynamic editing device for dynamically editing received broadcast data comprises a TV tuner for receiving broadcast data of one or more broadcast programs which are broadcasted by broadcast stations, an HDD for storing the received broadcast data, a modem for acquiring a script for editing the broadcast data stored in the HDD, a main memory for temporarily storing the script acquired by the modem, and a CPU for playing back the broadcast data stored in the HDD according to the script and thereby displaying the broadcast data on a video output device in the order that is designated by the script, for example. The script is, for example, data which includes information concerning playback order, a channel, actual broadcast starting time and actual broadcast ending time with respect to each broadcast data to be played back by the CPU. By the received broadcast data dynamic editing device, scenes of broadcast programs once broadcasted can be shown to the viewer not only in order of broadcasting but also in a variety of styles according to intention of the script. For example, program summarization, scene rearrangement, scene selection-rearrangement across two or more broadcast programs, etc. are possible.
