Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide the service of broadcast program relating information from a server to a communication terminal equipment and of reservation of a video program recording by connecting the server conducting the service such as provision of the broadcast program relating information to a conventional network such as the Internet. SOLUTION: A communication terminal equipment TA1 or TA2 is in use to access a server BSV via a network INT. A broadcast program guidance and broadcast program relating information of the server BSV are selected and the terminal equipment requests reservation of program recording to the server BSV. Upon the receipt of a request of the program recording reservation, the server BSV sends a video recording reservation command to the request terminal equipment TA1 or TA2 to allow the telephone set to record a program. A video tape recorder VTR connecting to the terminal equipment records the reserved program. When a time of the reserved program is subject to change, the server BSV changes the setting of the recording time to the reserved terminal equipment.
