A peripheral information display with enhanced expandability by enabling the customization and display of peripheral related data such as status information for each peripheral. The peripheral information display system is configured from a TV () and a recorder () connected with a HDMI connection. The TV () is equipped with a memory portion () that stores display region information comprising region identification information used to identify a display region for arranging the peripheral related data of the recorder (). The recorder () is equipped with a LAN I/Fwhich transmits the peripheral related data of the recorder () in association with the region identification information to the TV () in response to the display region information acquired from the TV (). The TV () displays the peripheral related data transmitted from the recorder () in the display region identified using the region identification information.

Peripheral information display system, display device, and peripheral

A peripheral control system enhances expandability in the operation of peripheral by enabling the customization and display of operation panels for each of the peripherals, regardless of whether any operation panel exists at the display device side. The peripheral control system is configured by connecting a TV and a recorder via an HDMI connection. The TV stores operation panel information that includes array information for arraying, on the screen, image data of the operation buttons that comprise the operation panel of the recorder. The recorder stores image data of the operation buttons, and sends, according to operation panel information obtained from the TV, the aforementioned stored image data of the operation buttons in association with the array information to the TV. The TV disposes and displays image data of the operation buttons sent from the recorder, at a position that is in accordance with the array information.

Peripheral control system, display device, and peripheral

Disclosed is a television () that outputs a content supplied from a source apparatus, which television includes an address acquiring section () that acquires a logical address from the source apparatus, a device type acquiring section () that acquires a device type from the source apparatus, and a UI section () that identifies which kind of apparatus the source apparatus is, based on a combination of the logical address and the device type.

Output device, source apparatus, television set, system, output method, program, and recording medium

A source device such as a mobile phone terminal can provide more surely a user with a notification of a status of the source device. A mobile phone terminal () serving as the source device includes a command processing section () which issues a command which (A) has an event ID which designates a status of the source device and (B) causes a TV () to display the status of the source device.

Source device, sink device, system, and recording medium

If a device non-compatible with CEC is contained in an input path when a display apparatus is HDMI-connected hierarchically to a plurality of external devices, an external device which has transmitted &#x3c;Active Source&#x3e; is selected as an operation object device. A TV () is HDMI-connected hierarchically to external devices (an AV amplifier (), recorders (), a DVD player ()) in a tree shape. The TV () receives &#x3c;Active Source&#x3e; indicating an active state capable of video output from the DVD player () and transmits &#x3c;Set Stream Path&#x3e; for switching the input path to the DVD player (). When a device non-compatible with CEC (AV amplifier ()) is contained in the input path which transmits &#x3c;Set Stream Path&#x3e;, the TV () selects the DVD player () specified &#x3c;Active Source&#x3e; as an operation object device.
