Abstract

An information processing system serves to input a timer record setting of a content. The system includes a dividing unit that divides a first timer record setting to record the content delivered from a predetermined source for a predetermined period into a plurality of second timer record settings each designed to record the content corresponding thereto, which is expected to be delivered for the predetermined period; a change unit that determines whether the content corresponding to each of the second timer record settings satisfies a predetermined condition, and changes a predetermined setting of the second timer record setting to record the corresponding content which has been determined to satisfy the predetermined condition using a change process preliminarily correlated with the predetermined condition; and an input unit that inputs the second timer record settings to record the corresponding contents, respectively, including the second timer record setting having the changed predetermined setting.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . An information processing system which serves to input a timer record setting of a content, comprising:
 a dividing unit that divides a first timer record setting to record a content delivered from a predetermined source for a predetermined period into a plurality of second timer record settings each designed to record the content corresponding thereto, which is expected to be delivered for the predetermined period;   a change unit that determines whether the content corresponding to each of the second timer record settings satisfies at least one of a plurality of predetermined conditions, and changes a predetermined setting of the second timer record setting to record the corresponding content which has been determined to satisfy the predetermined condition using a change process preliminarily correlated with the predetermined condition; and   an input unit that inputs the second timer record settings to record the corresponding contents, respectively, including the second timer record setting having the changed predetermined setting.   
     
     
         2 . The information processing system according to  claim 1 , wherein
 a plurality of the predetermined conditions are provided to which corresponding priority orders are assigned, respectively; and   the change unit determines whether the content corresponding to each of the second timer record settings satisfies at least one of the plurality of predetermined conditions, and changes the predetermined setting of the content corresponding to the second timer record setting which has been determined to satisfy the at least one of the predetermined conditions using a change process preliminarily correlated with the condition assigned with the highest priority order among the at least one of the predetermined conditions determined to be satisfied.   
     
     
         3 . The information processing system according to  claim 2 , wherein:
 the change process preliminarily correlated with the predetermined condition assigned with the predetermined priority order among the plurality of predetermined conditions is used to change a first setting for recording the content that satisfies the predetermined condition assigned with the predetermined priority order to a second setting for inhibiting the recording thereof; and   the input unit inhibits an input of the second timer record setting having the setting changed to the second setting through the change unit among the plurality of second timer record settings for recording the corresponding contents.   
     
     
         4 . The information processing system according to  claim 3 , further comprising a set unit which sets at least one of the plurality of predetermined conditions, the priority orders respectively assigned to the plurality of predetermined conditions, and the change process correlated with the plurality of predetermined conditions upon a command of a user. 
     
     
         5 . An information processing method of an information processing system for inputting a timer record setting of a content, the method comprising:
 dividing a first timer record setting to record the content delivered from a predetermined source for a predetermined period into a plurality of second timer record settings each designed to record the content corresponding thereto, which is expected to be delivered for the predetermined period;   determining whether the content corresponding to each of the second timer record settings satisfies at least one of a plurality of predetermined conditions, and changing a predetermined setting of the second timer record setting to record the corresponding content which has been determined to satisfy the predetermined condition using a change process preliminarily correlated with the predetermined condition; and   inputting the second timer record settings to record the corresponding contents, respectively, including the second timer record setting having the changed predetermined setting.   
     
     
         6 . A program executable by a computer that controls a process of inputting a timer record setting of a content, the process comprising:
 dividing a first timer record setting to record the content delivered from a predetermined source for a predetermined period into a plurality of second timer record settings each designed to record the content corresponding thereto, which is expected to be delivered for the predetermined period;   determining whether the content corresponding to each of the second timer record settings satisfies at least one of a plurality of predetermined conditions, and changing a predetermined setting of the second timer record setting to record the corresponding content which has been determined to satisfy the predetermined condition using a change process preliminarily correlated with the predetermined condition; and   inputting the second timer record settings to record the corresponding contents, respectively, including the second timer record setting having the changed predetermined setting.
