摘要

PURPOSE: A method for searching, reserving, viewing and recording TV broadcasting programs using the Internet is provided to enable a customer to access a Web site and search broadcasting programs from TV broadcasting channels, to reserve a desiring program at a designated time for viewing/recording. CONSTITUTION: If a customer accesses a server unit over the Internet and performs log-in, the server unit opens reservation DBs for the corresponding customer(S110). If the customer searches TV programs through a search/reservation screen provided by the server unit, to repeat a process of selecting and reserving a desiring program and transmit selected reservation contents, the server unit stores the transmitted reservation contents in a Web database with the reservation DBs(S120-S151). A screen of a reservation result is transmitted to a terminal unit of the customer(S160) and stored in an application DB in a supplementary memory(S170). The reservation contents are confirmed and deleted with the open of the application DB according to an operation of an application program(S180). The reserved TV program is televised at a designated time according to the application program installed in the terminal unit of the customer(S190). And the customer revises the reservation DBs through the terminal(S200).
