ある。The registration determination unit 7 calculates the tuning frequency of each broadcasting station for each predetermined time period on each day of the week based on the outputs from the clock unit 1 and the tuning identification unit 3, and stores the results in the data registration unit 9. It is something. Specifically, for example, for each day of the week, (a
) From 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. in units of 30 minutes, (b) From 8:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. in units of 1 hour divided into 55 minutes and 5 minutes, (C) At other times, 1 hour. In addition to setting time zones in hours, in each time zone,
A register (frequency register) is set to count the tuning frequency for each broadcast station, and 80% of each time slot is counted.
The contents of the frequency register of the broadcasting station that has been selected for the above period of time are incremented, and the result is stored in the data recording section 9. Note that the registration determination section 7 and the data registration section 9 constitute a frequency IA calculation means.

するものである。The warning display control unit 11 receives the warning signal from the warning determination unit 5 and displays a message on the television screen, for example, ``This station (channel number) is different from the station (channel number) you usually watch.''
なお、警告判定部５および警告表示制御部１１は制御手
段を構成するものである。Note that the warning determination section 5 and the warning display control section 11 constitute a control means.
次に、本実施例の作用を第２図に示す処理フローチャー
トを用いて説明する。Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained using the processing flowchart shown in FIG.
テレビ受像中においては、警告判定部５が計時部１によ

１００〜１２０）。During television reception, the warning determination section 5 determines the time zone to which the current time belongs based on the time measurement data by the timekeeping section 1, searches the data registration section 9, and searches the data registration section 9 to find the maximum frequency register value in the corresponding time zone. Check the broadcast station (steps 100-120).
そして、警告判定部５は、この放送局が選局識別部３か
らの選局データに基づき選局されている放送局と相異す
れば警告表示制御部１１を介してテレビ画面に上述した
如き警報を行う（ステップ１３０〜１５０）。Then, if this broadcasting station is different from the broadcasting station selected based on the channel selection data from the channel selection identification section 3, the warning determination section 5 displays the above-mentioned message on the TV screen via the warning display control section 11. A warning is issued (steps 130-150).

る（ステップ１７０．１８０）。When the time slot to which it belongs ends in the processing from step 130 to step 150 (step 160), the registration determination unit 7 receives the data supplied from the clock unit 1 and the channel selection identification unit 3 during the time slot to which it belongs. Based on this, if there is a broadcasting station that was tuned in for more than 80% of the time in that time period, the contents of the frequency register of the broadcasting station will be incremented and the process will be returned. (steps 170 and 180).

ことができる。In addition, in this embodiment, a warning message is displayed on the screen when the currently selected broadcasting station differs from the broadcasting station having the maximum frequency register value. It may be displayed, etc., as long as the user can confirm it. Furthermore, in addition to simply notifying users, it is also possible to actively automatically switch to the broadcasting station with the highest frequency register value, or even turn the power to A to start receiving images. It can save the labor of the person.
