A broadcast receiving terminal, which implements a service executing method, includes a receiver operable to receive a service that uses a plurality of resources, a recording medium, and a service executor operable to execute a service that uses the plurality of resources in a service execution environment intended for the service. The terminal also includes an associater operable to associate the service execution environment with resource set information indicating the plurality of resources used by the service, when an application requests the service executor to execute the service, and a storager operable to store a plurality of service execution environments together with the associated resource set information. The terminal further includes a resource manager operable to provide, to a selected service, the plurality of resources indicated in the resource set information in the associated service execution environment.

Service executing apparatus

A broadcast receiving terminal, which implements a service executing method, includes a receiver operable to receive an application, a recording medium, and a service executer operable to execute a service that uses one or more resources in a service execution environment intended for the service. The terminal also includes an associater operable to associate the service execution environment with resource set information indicating the one or more resources used by the service, when the application requests the service executer to execute the service, and a storager operable to store, into the recording medium, a plurality of service execution environments together with the associated resource set information that are associated by the associater. The terminal further includes a resource manager operable to provide, to a selected service, one or more resources indicated in the resource set information in the associated service execution environment, in the recording medium, stored by the storager.

A device manager () of a broadcast receiving apparatus includes a device basic information management unit () operable to hold a type and the number of devices handled by the device manager (), and information regarding the individual devices, a device object management unit () operable to manage one-to-one correspondences of objects representing devices, a device physical connection management unit () operable to manage hardware configuration physical connection information of devices, a device logical connection management unit () operable to manage logical connection statuses of devices, a device logical connection unit () operable to logically connect devices, and a device logical connection cancellation unit () operable to perform cancellation of a logical connection of devices.

Information processing apparatus
