Method and device for dynamically editing received broadcast data
First Claim
1. A received broadcast data dynamic editing method for dynamically editing received broadcast data, comprising the steps of:
- a broadcast data storage step in which received broadcast data including one or more broadcast programs, each broadcast program containing video and audio content data and being other than program scheduling information is stored in a broadcast data storage device, each program having a plurality of scenes;
a script acquisition and editing step in which a received broadcast data dynamic editing device acquires a script and edits the broadcast data stored in the broadcast data storage device utilizing said script, said script indicating directly or indirectly broadcast start times for each of the plurality of scenes, said editing including at least one of (1) changing the order of scenes within the one or more programs and (2) skipping scenes within the one or more programs; and
a playback step in which the received broadcast data dynamic editing device plays back the broadcast data stored in the broadcast data storage device according to the edited broadcast data based on the script acquisition and editing step and thereby the broadcast data is displayed on a display device in the order that is designated by the edited broadcast data.

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.
