A television () includes: an image data receiving section () for receiving, from the outside, image data storing therein process specifying information; and a controlling section () for controlling an image processing section () so as to carry out a process specified by the process specifying information stored in the received image data. Thus, it is possible to cause the television () to carry out the desired process by causing the television () to receive the image data including the process specifying information for specifying the process which should be carried out by the television ().

Operating system that includes an image data receiving device and an operation device for processing image data sets

A televisionof the present invention is a televisionfor processing display data and displaying an image based on the processed display data, the display data containing the image and a control script that defines at least a function of displaying the image, wherein the televisionincludes a basic function executing sectionfor executing a basic function program called from the control script, the basic function program being stored in a basic function program storage section; and a control script executing sectionfor controlling basic function executing sectionaccording to the control script so as to perform a first function for displaying the image, the first function being defined by the control script, the control script further defines a second function which the televisionperforms while the image is being displayed by the first function, and the control script executing sectioncontrols the basic function executing sectionaccording to the control script so as to execute the second function.

Image display apparatus, image data providing apparatus, and image display system providing a control script for executing basic functions

A control section of a slideshow display device includes a display control section. The display control sectioncauses a list of thumbnails to be displayed when a display timing at which a target image other than a currently displayed image is to be displayed comes before a predetermined point in time. As such, when display delay occurs, a list of thumbnails can be displayed, instead of the target image. This realizes an image display device which prevents a user from being subject to stress when display delay occurs in slideshow display.

When a content playback apparatus has detected a content data acquisition error in a process of acquiring title screen content serving as next content that is to be reproduced after top screen content, the content playback apparatus reproduces sub-content contained as error-handling information in the top screen content, and then displays an error screen. The error screen is contained as sub-content in the top screen content, and therefore can be changed flexibly. This makes it possible to provide a content playback apparatus capable of performing error handling flexibly in accordance with the content being reproduced.

A picture display apparatus, comprising: a synthesizing section for synthesizing divided screens to display a plurality of pictures on a single screen; a menu display section for displaying a menu in which a list of options is displayed, the options enabling a user to select a change to be made to at least one of a number, shapes, relative sizes, and relative positions of the divided screens and types of the pictures, so that the user can select from the options to switch to a corresponding screen arrangement; an icon display section for displaying an icon indicating a border between the divided screens in association with the options; and a border changing section for updating the divided screens according to a change in position of the border, wherein the icon display section displays the icon indicating a result of the change in position of the border before the border changing section updates the divided screens according to the change in position of the border. Thus, the user is informed of what the screen will look like before entering a change of the border.

Picture display apparatus with selectively divided screens, picture display method for selectively dividing screens, and storage medium

Upon receipt of operation entry for processing and editing a currently displayed slide, an operation information generating section generates operation information corresponding to this entry. An operation information reflecting section performs editing on the basis of the operation information and stores the operation information regarding the editing in a storage section. Upon receipt of slide data from the server device, the operation information reflecting section reads operation information of the past regarding this slide data, and generates a display screen in such a manner that editing corresponding to the read operation information is reflected in the received slide data. This makes it possible to display slide data stored in the server device on an image display device in a manner that a user wants, without increasing load on the server device.
