ABSTRACT:
A broadcast program related information processor is provided wherein a user can easily create a message containing a program tag corresponding to a program during watching. When externally receiving a program tag capture request, the program display controller2captures the program-related information of a program in displaying from the recorded-video management data3, creates a program tag based on the program information, and then returns the created program tag to the request source. When the program tag further contains scene information, the program display controller2captures the scene information regarding a scene in replay at the time of capturing program related information and then utilizes the scene information at the program tag creation time. The message creator1transmits the program tag capture request to the program display controller2and then, when the program tag is returned, inserts it into the message5.
