摘要:
A broadcasting system comprises a transmission apparatus, which multiplexes stream-format data based on a stream transmission protocol and file-format data based on a file transmission protocol with each other and sends them as a single stream, and receiving apparatuses which receive and temporarily accumulate stream-format data and file-format data which are sent as they are multiplexed with each other, and stream-format data and file-format data are temporarily accumulated as they directly are in the form of a single stream, all or some of file-format data are reproduced later at predetermined timing and accumulated once again as a file.

In a receiving device, a receiver receives extended program information. A user selects a program to be reserved by a selection operation using an operation input unit. An extended reservation manager causes an instruction receiver to transmit an extended reservation instruction based on an extended program identifier for identifying the selected program. In a recording device, a receiver receives program data, mapping information, and program information. The instruction receiver receives the extended reservation instruction transmitted from the receiver. An extended reservation executer acquires an extended program identifier from the received extended reservation instruction and acquires a program identifier corresponding to the extended program identifier on the basis of the mapping information, to store a program reservation on the basis of the program identifier. A program recorder/reproducer records and/or reproduces the program data in accordance with the stored program reservation. The extended reservation instruction is configured so as not to be recognized as a reservation instruction by a recording/reproducing appliance that is not adapted to the extended program information.

A user is prompted to turn on power supply of a device to be connected with a screen. When it is detected that the power supply is turned on, the screen is displayed for confirming a user whether the device whose power supply is turned on should be connected or not. Thus, connection is carried out. With such a method, a communication connection method capable of selecting a device to be connected reliably is provided.

A same scene detecting apparatus includes comparison video storing unit that stores video and audio, video comparing unit that detects same scenes having same contents, and loop detecting unit that detects repeated appearance of the same scenes. With this configuration, when a user watches video and audio including same scenes or video and audio in which same scenes appear repeatedly, by detecting a loop, portions which are not overlapped can be selectively presented to the user.

A program table generator 100 generates an electronic program table corresponding to multichannel broadcasting in which a plurality of programs are broadcast via one transponder by one broadcaster at the same time. The program table generator 100 includes: an information obtaining part 103 that obtains electronic program information relating to programs to be broadcast; a processing part 104 that determines, based on the electronic program information, whether or not the multichannel broadcasting is carried out, and that, when multichannel broadcasting is carried out, determines the number of non-display programs that are broadcast by the multichannel broadcasting but are not displayed on an electronic program table, and broadcast times of the non-display programs; and a program table generation part 108 that generates an electronic program table such that the number of the non-display programs and the broadcast times of the non-display programs determined by the processing part 104 are suggested.

When detecting the start of a recommended program, a recommended program notification device displays a notification screen (121) indicating the existence of a recommended program. When a recommendation control instruction is input while the notification screen (121) is being displayed, the recommended program notification device displays a recommendation list window (132) indicating a list of recommended programs. When a predetermined time has elapsed, and when an instruction other than the recommendation control instruction is input, while the notification screen (121) is being displayed, the recommended program notification device erases the notification screen (121). The recommended program notification device may display the notification screen when selected stations are changed. Thereby, a user can obtain information about a recommended program without inputting any instruction.

In a speculative recording device (1200a), a profile extracting unit (110) extracts a user profile (Pu) which indicates a preference of a user in viewing programs based on an operation by the user, a program list managing unit (106) acquires attributes (IP) of a program, a speculation selecting unit (111) selects a program to be speculatively recorded based on a user profile (Pu) and the attributes (IP) of the program, a storage managing unit (107) accumulates program data (DP), and a speculative recording managing unit (112) erases the program data (DP) accumulated in the storage managing unit (111) when necessary and records program data (DP) selected by the speculation selecting unit (111).
摘要:
An object of the present invention is to provide a service-extensible, completely new “safe service extension platform” in which false access by an execute form which implements a digital content providing service can be eliminated without the need to deny that a process which might cause the false access is included in the execute form. A safe service extension platform (SEP), in which services (S) are associated with an execute form (DE) and the services (S) are extended by changing or adding the execute form (DE), comprises a service-dependent API for extending the services, and the service extension from the execute form (DE) is carried out only by calling the service-dependent API.

In a pay broadcasting system, data of a broadcast program is scrambled with a scramble key updated in a short period. The scramble key is encrypted with a first key assigned to the subscriber terminal. The first key is encrypted with a first master key set in the subscriber terminal. The security of a broadcast program stored for subsequent use in the subscriber terminal is enhanced as follows. A central station generates a second key-encrypted scramble key by encrypting the scramble key with a second key different from the first key and changeable in an interval shorter than a update interval of the first key; generates an encrypted second key by encrypting the second key with a second master key which has been commonly issued to subscriber terminals of the system; and broadcast the second key-encrypted scramble key and the encrypted second key together with the scrambled data of the program, the first key-encrypted scramble key and the encrypted first key in a multiplexed manner. When a broadcast program is to be stored, the subscriber terminal stores the scrambled data of the broadcast program and the second key-encrypted scramble key; decrypt the encrypted second key with the second master key into the second key, which is added to a stored program second key list. If the stored program is to be executed, the second key-encrypted scramble key is decrypted with a corresponding one of the second keys in the stored program second key list into a decrypted scramble key; and the scrambled data of the broadcast program is unscrambled with the decrypted scramble key.

A video processing apparatus includes: an obtainment unit which obtains a stereoscopic video, a subtitle data item, and subtitle depth information indicating a position of the subtitle data item in a depth direction; a depth level input unit which receives an input of depth level information for adjusting a depth effect of the stereoscopic video; a depth adjustment unit which adjusts, according to the depth level information, the depth effect of the stereoscopic video and a depth effect of the subtitle depth information in association with each other; a subtitle video generation unit which generates a subtitle video from the subtitle depth information adjusted by the depth adjustment unit and the subtitle data item; a video combining unit which combines the stereoscopic video and the subtitle video to generate a combined video; and an output unit which outputs the combined video generated by the video combining unit.
