20090049500 | RECEIVING DEVICE - A receiving device is one capable of processing a first application received from a broadcast station and a previously built-in second application, including: a first application management unit operable to control the first application; a second application management unit operable to control the second application; an operation management unit operable to hold operating states of the first application and the second application; and a duplicate function management unit operable to hold exclusion/sharing information showing priorities of the first application and the second application, and operable to make the first application management unit or the second application management unit perform an exclusion control based upon the exclusion/sharing information or the operating state managed by the operation management unit, in which the duplicate function management unit terminates the second application in activation, upon activation of the first application. | 02-19-2009 |
20090055881 | DIGITAL BROADCAST RECEIVER - There is provided a cable broadcast receiver for solving problems arising in the switching between execution of a download application and reproduction of video audio information from an external device. The receiver has operating modes including a first mode and a second mode. Under the first mode, the receiver is operated based on a download application acquired through a network. Under the second mode, the receiver is operated based on a receiver application. The receiver is operated under the second mode when information inputted from an external device is to be displayed. A key delivery unit delivers, upon receiving a key code instructing a channel change during the operation under the second mode, the key code indicating the channel change to a download application management unit which controls the key delivery to the download application, and a receiver application management unit which controls the key delivery to the receiver application. | 02-26-2009 |
20090282434 | Digital broadcast receiver - There is provided a digital broadcast receiver for solving various problems regarding a display which arise due to the switching of a mode. For example, there is provided a digital broadcast receiver capable of displaying an emergency alert broadcast by an EAS even when a mode is switched from an OCAP mode to an external input mode. The receiver has a plane management unit for managing a receiver only plane and a download application plane. The receiver prohibits the emergency alert broadcast from being displayed in the receiver only plane when, under an OCAP mode, a download application takes away an EAS function of the receiver, and then permits the emergency alert broadcast to be displayed in the receiver only plane when the mode is switched from the OCAP mode to an external input mode. | 11-12-2009 |
20100013841 | DISPLAY DEVICE AND ITS CONTROL METHOD - When an operation mode of a television receiver is a normal mode, insertion of a memory card having trigger information stored therein into a card insertion portion causes a storefront mode setting screen to be displayed on a video display unit. When the operation mode of the television receiver is a storefront mode, detection of supply of power by a power supply detector causes a storefront mode release screen to be displayed on the video display unit. Users performs selection and setting on the storefront mode setting screen and the storefront mode release confirmation screen by operating a remote controller to switch the operation mode of the television receiver. | 01-21-2010 |
20100060789 | RECEPTION DEVICE AND RECEPTION METHOD - The display information generating unit manages a first plane that contains video information and a second plane that contains first still information and second still information, and merges the first plane and second plane. The control unit adds at least one of the first still information and second still information to the second plane when an interrupt signal is generated. If the display area of the video information is the full display area of the display screen, the control unit starts a screen saver operation that changes the first still information after a first predetermined period from a time point of the interrupt signal. If the display area of the video information is smaller than the full display area of the display screen, the control unit starts a screen saver operation that changes the second still information after a second predetermined period from a time point of the interrupt signal. | 03-11-2010 |
20100287596 | RECEIVING DEVICE - In a power-on operation of a receiving device that receives digital broadcasting, when PIN information for setting a parental control function of a download application obtained via a network is set, a video output is turned to an off state during a time period before a download application is received from the power-on until a predetermined time elapses, a download application is executed when the download application is received during the time period from the power-on until the predetermined time elapses, and the setting of the PIN information is cancelled when a download application is not received during the time period from the power-on until the predetermined time elapses. | 11-11-2010 |
20140067558 | IMAGE DISPLAY APPARATUS, IMAGE DISPLAY METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - The image display apparatus includes: a switch unit which receives a user control input; an advertisement storage for storing a first advertisement which is to be displayed upon receiving the user control input, and previously storing a second advertisement which is to be displayed at a next power-up of the image display apparatus and a third advertisement which is to be displayed upon receiving the user control input after the next power-up; an advertisement player which causes the first advertisement to be displayed on a screen upon receiving the user control input and causes the second advertisement to be displayed on the screen upon powering up the image display apparatus; and an advertisement manager which updates the first advertisement with the third advertisement upon powering up the image display apparatus. | 03-06-2014 |
