A digital broadcast receiving apparatus capable of executing a function with a higher added value is provided. A broadcast receiving apparatus configured to receive contents includes: a receiving unit configured to receive the contents; an interface via which the contents received by the receiving unit is outputted; a control unit configured to control an output state of the contents from the interface. In this case, the control unit is configured to determine the output state of the contents from the interface in accordance with a combination of control information indicating a copy control state of the contents, control information for specifying necessity or not of protection when to output the contents, information indicating resolution of video of the contents, and information indicating transmission characteristics of video of the contents, which are received by the receiving unit together with the contents.

Broadcast receiving apparatus

The present invention is intended to permit both real-time display of a picture represented by a non-compressed video signal on a television and display of a picture represented by a compressed video signal at any desired time by simultaneously transmitting the compressed video signal and non-compressed video signal via one interface. An STB packetizes a compressed video signal, and multiplexes the compressed video signal and a blanking signal combined with a non-compressed video signal. Thus, both the video signals are transmitted simultaneously. A picture represented by the non-compressed video signal is displayed on a television in real time. The compressed video signal is stored in a storage medium incorporated in the television, read at any user's desired time, and decoded so that a picture represented by the compressed video signal can be viewed at the user's desired time.

Video processing system for demultiplexing received compressed and non-compressed video signals and transmitting demultiplexed signals

A digital broadcast receiving apparatus capable of executing a function with a higher added value is provided. A broadcast receiving apparatus configured to receive contents includes: a receiving unit configured to receive the contents; an interface through which the contents received by the receiving unit are outputted; and a control unit configured to control an output state of the contents from the interface. The control unit is configured to determine an output state of the contents from the interface in accordance with a combination of control information indicating a copy control state of the contents, control information for specifying whether protection is required or not when the contents are to be outputted, information indicating resolution of video of the contents, and information indicating transmission characteristics of the video of the contents, which are received by the receiving unit together with the contents.

A broadcast reception device receives a digital broadcast service capable of executing an application cooperating with a broadcast program, and is provided with: a broadcast reception unit which receives broadcast waves of the digital broadcast service; a separation unit which separates video information relating to the broadcast program and application-related information from the received broadcast waves; a broadcast video decoding unit which decodes the video information relating to the broadcast program; an application acquisition unit which acquires an application on the basis of location information included in the application-related information; an application execution unit which executes the acquired application and acquires additional data from a server device; a video conversion unit which converts broadcast program video decoded by the broadcast decoding unit into high-quality video having a higher quality than the video using the acquired additional data; and a display unit which is able to display the high-quality video.

Broadcast reception device and video display method

A video receiver apparatus, for receiving video from a video transmitter apparatus, comprises: a memory portion for memorizing receiver apparatus information of the video receiver apparatus; and a transmitter/receiver portion for receiving a request for obtaining the receiver apparatus information transmitted from the video transmitter apparatus, and also for transmitting the receiver apparatus information memorized in the memory portion responding to the obtaining request, and wherein, further within the memory portion is memorized history information, changing depending on alternation of the receiver apparatus information, and wherein the receiver portion is able to receive the history information, which the video transmitter apparatus holds therein, as well as, the obtaining request from the video transmitter, and when the received history information from the video transmitter apparatus and the history information, which the video transmitter apparatus holds therein, are inconsistent with each other, then the receiver apparatus information memorized in the memory portion is transmitted to the video transmitter apparatus.

Video transmitter apparatus and video receiver apparatus

An image display device is for displaying an image including a user in, and comprises: a display processing unit displaying an image within a user's visual field display range; and a processor controlling the entire operation including a display operation on the display processing unit. The processor controls the display processing unit such that, in a state where information is displayed at a low content level within a visual field display range by control of the display processing unit, when an observation point which a user observes closely stays within a prescribed display range for a prescribed period of time, the vicinity of the observation point is displayed as information of a high content level, whereas when the observation point has deviated from the location of said information of the high content level, the vicinity of the observation point is returned to the information display at the low content level.

Image display device and image display method

An information processing method in a content viewing system that includes: a first display apparatus and a second display apparatus configured to communicate with each other via a home network, receive and reproduce contents of a content distribution service from a server on a network; and a mobile terminal configured to communicate with each of the display apparatus, includes: a first step of obtaining account information, which the mobile terminal has, from the mobile terminal by the first display apparatus, the account information being associated with the content distribution service; a second step of transferring the account information to the second display apparatus by the first display apparatus; and a third step of receiving the contents from the server by using the account information by the second display apparatus to reproduce the contents.

Information processing method, and display apparatus

A relay device or a connection cable for relaying a video signal from a transmission device to a reception device includes a control unit for detecting whether the received video signal is an AC signal output or a DC signal output, and a current pulling unit for pulling a predetermined current from the received video signal. If the received video signal is an AC signal output, the control unit is configured to control the current pulling unit to pull the predetermined current. If the received video signal is a DC signal output, the control unit is configured to control the current pulling unit to stop the pulling of current, and to transfer the video signal from the transmission device to the reception device.

Transmission device, relay device, and reception device

An image display system is configured such that an image display device and an image processing device are connected to each other through a network. The image display device is provided with an instruction information generation unit for generating instruction information pertaining to image-processing to be performed on an image input signal; an image signal transmission unit for transmitting the instruction information to the image processing device; a corrected signal reception unit for receiving a corrected image input signal obtained through image-processing performed by the image processing device on the basis of the instruction information; and a display signal output unit for outputting an image output signal based on the corrected image input signal, to an object where an image is to be displayed. The image processing device receives the image input signal connected through the network and performs image-processing on the image input signal according to the instruction information.
