ABSTRACT:
A resource reservation management apparatus that manages equipment resources connected to an AV network includes an EPG processing device for acquiring starting/ending time information of a broadcast program from an EPG (electronic program guide) superimposed on a broadcast wave, a frequency band information processing device for acquiring frequency band information of the program from the EPG, a frequency band information processing device for time managing an AV network frequency band resource reservation management table, a controller, and a communication interface using an allocated secured frequency band at the start time of the reserved program. Upon receiving a reservation request, the controller acquires the frequency band at the starting/ending time information of the reserved program and, with reference to the table, determines whether the frequency band of the reserved program can be allocated so that, when the band can be allocated, reservation of the band is registered in the table.
