Label creating apparatus and label creating program stored in computer-readable recording medium
First Claim
1. A label creating apparatus comprising:
- a receiving device that receives program information, which is information relating to broadcast programs;
a program information storing device that stores the program information received by the receiving device;
a video-recording device that video-records the broadcast programs;
an associating device that associates, with each other, the video-recorded information of the broadcast program video-recorded by the video-recording device and the program information of the broadcast program stored in the program information storing device;
a searching device that searches the program information stored in the program information storing device for such program information as to have been associated with the video-recorded information;
a program specifying device that specifies the broadcast program for which a label is to be created, from among the broadcast programs that correspond to the program information stored in the program information storing device;
a program information receiving device that receives the program information about the broadcast program specified by the program specifying device, from the program information storing device; and
a label creating device that creates the label by arranging the program information received by the program information receiving device in a print region, in which if the program information associated with the video-recorded information is found by the searching device, the program specifying device specifies the broadcast program for which a label is to be created, from among the broadcast programs that correspond to the associated program information.

Abstract
To program video-recording (YES at S1), the process receives EPG data to accumulate information of a program to be video-recorded into an EPG information DB (S4). To create a label immediately (YES at S5), the process uses the accumulated EPG information to create the label by arranging a template arbitrarily (S9). To create a label of a program previously video-recorded (YES at S7), the process searches the EPG information DB for the EPG information associated with video-recorded data during video-recording (S8). If there is a plurality of programs for which a label is to be created, the process determines whether they constitute a program series and, if such is the case, can use a dedicated template to create the label. If the plurality of programs does not constitute a program series, the process can use the template or arbitrarily arrange it to create the label.

11. A label creating apparatus comprising:
-
a receiving device that receives program information, which is information relating to broadcast programs;
a program information storing device that stores the program information received by the receiving device;
a video-recording device that video-records the broadcast programs;
a controller that;
associates, with each other, the video-recorded information of the broadcast program video-recorded by the video-recording device and the program information of the broadcast program stored in the program information storing device;

21. A label creating program stored in a computer-readable recording medium, the program comprising:
-
a receiving step of receiving program information, which is information relating to broadcast programs;
a program information storing step of storing the program information received in the receiving step;
a video-recording step of video-recording the broadcast programs;
an associating step of associating, with each other, the video-recorded information of the broadcast program video-recorded in the video-recording step and the program information of the broadcast program stored in the program information storing step;
a searching step of searching the program information stored in the program information storing step for such program information as to have been associated with the video-recorded information;
a program specifying step of specifying the broadcast program for which a label is to be created, from among the broadcast programs that correspond to the program information stored in the program information storing step;
a program information receiving step of receiving the program information about the broadcast program specified in the program specifying step, from the program information stored in the program information storing step; and
a label creating step of creating the label by arranging the program information received in the program information receiving step in a print region, in which if the program information associated with the video-recorded information is found in the searching step, the program specifying step specifies a broadcast program for which a label is to be created, from among the broadcast programs that correspond to the associated program information. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
