Personal Digital Assistant Apparatus

Abstract

A personal digital assistant (PDA) apparatus and a recording and reproduction apparatus improved in convenience in use by reflecting the viewing situation in the PDA into the recording and reproduction apparatus are provided. The PDA includes a reception unit for perceiving a broadcast signal including program information, a communication unit for communicating with the recording and reproduction apparatus, which records/reproduces a broadcast signal, a display unit for displaying the program information and video information included in the broadcast signal, a storage unit for storing viewing history of a received and displayed video signal, and an operation unit for operating viewing in the apparatus. Based on viewing history stored in the storage unit, an order signal is sent to the recording and reproduction apparatus via the communication unit to order reproduction of information relating to the viewing history from among information stored in the recording and reproduction apparatus.

1 . A video processing device able to communicate with a portable terminal, comprising: 
 a receiver which receives specification information and time information from the portable terminal, the specification information specifies video information and the time information indicates a time when the portable terminal displayed the video information;    a acquisition unit which acquires video information related to the specification information received by the receiver;    a reproducer which reproduces the video information acquired by the acquisition unit;    an output unit which outputs the video information reproduced by the reproducer to an external display apparatus;    a controller which controls the external display apparatus so as to display log information indicating the time when the portable terminal displayed the video information in addition to a time frame representing a time ranging from a start of the video information and a end of the video information.    
   
   
       2 . The video processing device according to  claim 1 , wherein the video information is a program content.  
   
   
       3 . The video processing device according to  claim 1 , wherein the log information is displayed on the time frame with a color being changed.  
   
   
       4 . The video processing device according to  claim 1 , further comprising a memory which stores a plurality of video information, wherein the acquisition unit acquires the video information related to the specification information from the memory.  
   
   
       5 . A video processing device able to communicate with a portable terminal, comprising: 
 a receiver which receives specification information and time information from the portable terminal, the specification information specifies a program content and the time information indicates a time when a user viewed the program content on the portable terminal;    an acquisition unit which acquires program content related to the specification information received by the receiver;    a reproducer which reproduces the program content acquired by the acquisition unit;    an output unit which outputs the program content reproduced by the reproducer to an external display apparatus;    a controller which controls the external display apparatus so as to display log information indicating the time when the user viewed the program content on the portable terminal in addition to a time frame representing a time ranging from a start of the program content and an end of the program content.
