Abstract

See full text

A data provision apparatus enabling users to browse previously viewed broadcast content or related content. While viewing a television broadcast on a TV receiver, the user pushes a button labeled 'Mark' on the remote controller to clip content. As a result, a request to 'clip' content including program and user identifiers is transmitted via a network to a server at a 'clipping center.' The program identifier is recorded under the user identifier in a user database. Subsequently, the user can browse recorded content by pushing an 'Information' button on a cellular phone or the like to transmit a browsing request to the server at the clipping center. The server references program content recorded under the corresponding user identifier to generate a menu of the content that is transmitted back to the cellular phone. By selecting content in the menu displayed on the cellular phone, the user can send a transmission request to the clipping server and view the broadcast content returned in response to this request.
