Patent ID: 7826793

Claim:
A method of reproducing broadcast content received by a mobile terminal, the method comprising: reproducing the broadcast content received in real-time at approximately a constant first reproduction rate; receiving, in response to a detection of a first event, a timeshift recording request to delay reproduction of the broadcast content; discontinuing, in response to receiving the timeshift recording request, the reproduction of the broadcast content and storing, in a first region of a storage medium, first broadcast content received between a time when the timeshift recording request is received and a time when a timeshift reproduction request is received; reproducing, in response to receiving the timeshift reproduction request, the first broadcast content stored in the first region of the storage medium at a constant second reproduction rate that is approximately equal to the constant first reproduction rate; storing, in a second region of the storage medium, second broadcast content received after the time when the timeshift reproduction request is received and while the first broadcast content continues to be reproduced at the constant second approximately the constant first reproduction rate; deleting the first broadcast content from the first region of the storage medium after the first broadcast content is reproduced while maintaining the second broadcast content in the second region of the storage medium; reproducing the second broadcast content after the first broadcast content is reproduced; and no longer storing the second broadcast content stored in the second region of the storage medium in response to a determination determining that a predetermined amount of the second broadcast content is deleted from the second region of the storage medium; wherein the timeshift reproduction request is received in response to detection of a second event.
