摘要:
A receiver comprises a program acceptor for accepting program contents, and a program identifier to identify the program contents; a display unit for displaying the program contents; an input acceptor for accepting an input from a user; a display attribute acquisition unit for obtaining a display attribute by which the program contents are displayed; and a viewing information recorder for recording viewing information including the program identifier and the display attribute, on a removable recording medium, when the input acceptor accepts a predetermined user input. Therefore, the receiver can record the viewing information indicating that the user has viewed a specific program, on the removable recording medium.

A terminal apparatus is provided for displaying an image by reproducing a piece of image information and for interactively changing the image using navigation information. The image is a moving picture, a still picture, or a mixture of them. The image information and the navigation information together are broadcast by a broadcasting station to the terminal apparatus. The navigation information indicates a plurality pieces of link-target image information. The cache unit stores a pair of image information and navigation information. The reproducing unit reproduces the image information. The monitoring unit monitors whether an operator has performed a certain operation responding to the image displayed. The receiving unit, before the operator performs the certain operation, receives a plurality pieces of image information which have possibility of being displayed and a plurality pieces of correspondinq naviqation information based on the navigation information, and stores the plurality pieces of image information and navigation information in the cache unit. The specifying unit specifies a piece of link-target image information based on the certain operation. The identifying unit identifies the piece of link-target image information as a piece of image information. The first controlling unit reads the piece of link-target image information and instructs the reproducing unit to reproduce the piece of link-target image information, and instructs the receiving unit to receive other plurality pieces of image information and navigation information based on a piece of navigation information corresponding to the link-target image information identified by the identifying unit.

摘要:
When one program is divided into a plurality of partial programs and transmitted, and when even only necessary partial programs are received, the partial programs are executed. When it is detected that the execution must be continued from a partial program to another partial program, and when the other partial program is received, the other partial program is executed.

摘要:
An object is to perform retrial processing according to the allowable volume on communication lines made available at response information receiving equipment. A broadcast unit 140, when broadcasting video and audio, includes retrial information in that broadcast, according to the allowable volume on the communication lines between the television receivers and the response information receiving equipment 150. Television receivers effect display based on the received digital data. Response information input by users is sent to the response information receiving equipment 150. The television receivers make retrial transmissions based on the received retrial information when communications could not be established with the response information receiving equipment 150. This retrial information is responsive to the allowable volume on the communication lines between the television receivers and the response information receiving equipment 150, wherefore retrial transmissions are made according to the allowable volume on the communication lines.
