Description

  The present invention relates to a technique for presenting content acquired from a communication network and content acquired from a broadcast network to a user.

  In recent years, various electronic devices have been widely equipped with a function for connecting to a communication network and expanded. For example, television receivers and the like that are equipped with an Internet connection function and can browse not only digital broadcasts but also contents on the Internet are also commercially available.

  In digital broadcasting, data broadcasting content is transmitted together with stream data of the broadcasting content. A television receiver compatible with digital broadcasting can watch a TV program and also watch data broadcasting content. It is possible.

  As described above, apparatuses capable of acquiring and displaying contents from a plurality of data sources are becoming popular.

  Here, when displaying the content acquired from such various data sources, it is also assumed that the data source cannot be determined from the displayed content itself.

  For example, when browsing the content on the Internet and the content of the data broadcast with the same browser, whether the content on the Internet is displayed only by the information contained in the displayed browser screen, the content of the data broadcast It may not be possible to determine whether is displayed.

  One method for enabling such a determination is to display a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) used to access the content on the Internet (see, for example, Patent Document 1 below). .

JP 2011-114674 A (released on June 9, 2011)

  However, even if the URL is displayed while displaying the data broadcast content, it is difficult for the user to recognize the transmission source (provider or source) of the content based on the URL. The URL of the data broadcast content is a value used for convenience by a program for displaying the content in order to refer to a file temporarily stored in the receiver of the data broadcast, and is on a communication network such as the Internet. This is because the address is not shown.

  This is not limited to displaying data broadcast content and content on the Internet, but is a common problem when displaying the transmission source of content acquired from a communication network and content acquired from a broadcast network. is there.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and its purpose is to allow a user to display a content transmission source acquired from a communication network and a content transmission source acquired from a broadcast network. It is an object of the present invention to provide a display control device or the like that can easily recognize the transmission source of each content.

  In order to solve the above problems, the display control device of the present invention includes communication content acquired from a communication network by access using an address, and accompanying content accompanying broadcast content transmitted via the broadcast network. A display control apparatus to be displayed, wherein the determination unit determines whether the content to be displayed is the communication content or the accompanying content, and the determination unit has the display target content as the communication content. When the determination is made, the address is displayed, and when the determination means determines that the content to be displayed is an accompanying content, a transmission source display means for displaying broadcast-related information related to the broadcast content; It is characterized by having.

  A display control method by a display control device for displaying communication content acquired from a communication network by access using an address and accompanying content accompanying broadcast content, and whether the content to be displayed is the communication content If the determination step determines whether the content is the accompanying content and the determination step determines that the content to be displayed is communication content, the address is displayed, and the display target is determined in the determination step. When the content is determined to be accompanying content, a transmission source display step of displaying broadcast related information related to the broadcast content is included.

  According to the configuration described above, it is determined whether the content to be displayed is communication content or accompanying content. When it is determined that the content is communication content, the address used to acquire the communication content is determined. Display. Therefore, in this case, the transmission source (provider) of the communication content can be recognized by the user by the displayed address.

  According to the above configuration, when it is determined that the content to be displayed is accompanying content, broadcast related information related to the broadcast content from which the accompanying content is acquired is displayed. Therefore, in this case, the broadcast-related information displayed allows the user to recognize that the transmission source (provider) of the accompanying content is a specific broadcast content.

  Thus, even if the communication content and the accompanying content are based on the same specification and the content is displayed by a single browser program, the user can easily identify the content transmission source (provider), Can be recognized.

  Note that the determination as to whether the content to be displayed is communication content or accompanying content may be made, for example, by referring to identification information for identifying communication content and accompanying content. For example, when the accompanying content is acquired from the stream data of the broadcast content, a flag indicating that the acquired content is the accompanying content may be recorded as the identification information. In this case, the above determination can be made depending on whether or not a flag is recorded.

The broadcast-related information may be information related to broadcast content, and may be, for example, a channel number, a channel name (broadcast station name), a program name, or the like. Such information can be easily obtained because it is transmitted together with stream data of broadcast contents in general digital broadcasting.

  The display control device may or may not include a display device. If a display device is provided, the display device may be displayed. If the display device is not provided, data to be displayed on an external display device may be output and displayed.

  Further, the display control device includes an accompanying content receiving unit that receives the accompanying content and the broadcast-related information from another communication device, and the determination unit determines whether the content to be displayed is the communication content. The accompanying content receiving means determines whether or not the accompanying content is received, and the transmission source display means determines the address when the determining means determines that the content to be displayed is communication content. Preferably, the broadcast-related information received by the accompanying content receiving means is displayed when the determining means determines that the content to be displayed is accompanying content.

  According to the above configuration, the accompanying content and the broadcast-related information are received from another communication device, so that the accompanying content can be displayed even if the display control device does not have a broadcast content receiving function.

  Then, when it is determined that the content to be displayed is the accompanying content received by the accompanying content receiving unit, the broadcast related information received by the broadcasting accompanying content receiving unit is displayed.

  Therefore, according to said structure, it can be made to recognize a user that the transmission origin (provider) of this accompanying content is a specific broadcast content by the displayed broadcast related information. Further, simultaneously with displaying the broadcast content on another communication device, the accompanying content can be displayed on the display control device, that is, the broadcast content and the accompanying content can be displayed on different devices.

  The display control apparatus includes an input unit that receives a user operation, and the transmission source display unit is configured to display a display target when the input unit receives a user operation for displaying a content transmission source. Preferably, the address is displayed when it is determined that the content is communication content, and the broadcast-related information is displayed when the determination unit determines that the content to be displayed is accompanying content.

  According to the above configuration, when it is determined that the content to be displayed is communication content when a user operation for displaying the content transmission source is received, the address is displayed. If it is determined that the content to be displayed is accompanying content, the broadcast related information is displayed.

  Therefore, the user simply performs an operation for displaying the content transmission source, and the information corresponding to the content displayed at that time, that is, the address used for obtaining the communication content, or the broadcast related to the broadcast content. Information can be confirmed. In addition, information such as a URL used for the accompanying content that cannot be easily recognized by the user even when viewed by the user is not presented.

The display control device includes an input unit that receives a user operation, and the transmission source display unit receives the user operation for displaying the content by the input unit, and the determination unit determines that the content to be displayed is When it is determined that the content is communication content, when the user operation for displaying the address is displayed and the input unit displays the content transmission source, the determination unit determines that the content to be displayed is accompanying content. If you decide,
It is preferable to display broadcast related information.

  According to the above configuration, when a user operation for displaying content is accepted, if it is determined that the content to be displayed is communication content, an address is displayed. That is, the address is displayed at the timing when the communication content is displayed.

  Also, according to the above configuration, when a user operation for displaying the content transmission source is received, if it is determined that the content to be displayed is an accompanying content, broadcast related information is displayed. That is, the broadcast related information is displayed at the timing when the user operation for displaying the content transmission source is performed.

  Therefore, for the communication content, the user can recognize the address immediately after display. As for the accompanying content, the broadcast related information can be recognized by the user by using a user operation for displaying the content transmission source as a trigger.

  The transmission source display unit displays the address together with the communication content when the content determined by the determination unit as the communication content and the content determined by the determination unit as the accompanying content are displayed simultaneously. The broadcast related information is preferably displayed together with the accompanying content.

  According to the above configuration, when the content determined as the communication content and the content determined as the accompanying content are displayed at the same time, the address is displayed together with the communication content. Also, broadcast related information is displayed together with accompanying content.

  Therefore, the communication content and the accompanying content can be simultaneously confirmed by the user, and the transmission source (providing source) of each content can be recognized by the user.

  Note that the mode of simultaneous display of the communication content and the accompanying content is not particularly limited. For example, the communication content and each of the plurality of display areas set in one screen, such as a two-screen display of a television receiver, are displayed. You may display accompanying content. Further, for example, a communication content window and an accompanying content window may be displayed as in a multi-window display of a personal computer.

  The transmission source display means preferentially displays the communication content when simultaneously displaying the content determined by the determination means as communication content and the content determined by the determination means as accompanying content. In this case, it is preferable to display the address, and to display the broadcast-related information when the accompanying content is preferentially displayed.

  According to the above configuration, when the content determined to be communication content and the content determined to be accompanying content are displayed at the same time, if the communication content is preferentially displayed, an address is displayed. When the accompanying content is preferentially displayed, broadcast related information is displayed.

  Therefore, the communication content and the accompanying content can be simultaneously confirmed by the user, and the transmission source (providing source) of each content can be recognized by the user.

Note that priority display refers to a display state that attracts the user's attention than the other content, or a state that is subject to control from the input unit by a remote controller or the like. For example, the display is larger than the other content. For example, this may be displayed in front, displayed as an audio output target, or marked (eg, framed or added icon) indicating priority. In the case of displaying in the multi-window format, the content displayed in the window (active window) selected by the user is the content preferentially displayed.

  In addition, when recording the broadcast content, the display control device includes recording means for recording accompanying content accompanying the broadcast content and recording the date and time of the recording, and the transmission source display means is recorded. In addition, when the determination unit determines that the content displayed during the reproduction of the broadcast content is the accompanying content, it is preferable to display the date and time recorded by the recording unit together with the broadcast related information.

  According to the above configuration, when recording broadcast content, the accompanying content accompanying the broadcast content is recorded, and the recording date and time is recorded. When it is determined that the content displayed during the reproduction of the recorded broadcast content is the accompanying content, the recording date and time of the accompanying content is displayed together with the broadcast related information.

  Therefore, the broadcast related information displayed allows the user to recognize that the transmission source (provider) of the accompanying content is a specific broadcast content, and allows the recording date and time of the content to be recognized.

  The display control device may be realized by a computer. In this case, a control program for realizing the display control device by a computer by causing the computer to operate as each unit of the display control device, and A computer-readable recording medium on which it is recorded also falls within the scope of the present invention. And if it is a television receiver provided with the said display control apparatus, there exists an effect similar to the said display control apparatus.

  As described above, the display control apparatus according to the present invention includes a determination unit that determines whether the content to be displayed is the communication content or the accompanying content, and the determination unit communicates with the content to be displayed. When it is determined to be content, the address is displayed, and when the determination means determines that the content to be displayed is accompanying content, transmission for displaying broadcast-related information related to the broadcast content And an original display means.

  In addition, as described above, the display control method of the present invention includes the determination step of determining whether the content to be displayed is the communication content or the accompanying content, and the display step includes: When it is determined that the content is communication content, the address is displayed. When it is determined in the determination step that the content to be displayed is accompanying content, broadcast-related information related to the broadcast content is displayed. And a transmission source display step for displaying.

  According to the above configuration, when it is determined that the content to be displayed is communication content, the address used to acquire the communication content is displayed. Therefore, in this case, the transmission source (provider) of the communication content can be recognized by the user by the displayed address.

According to the above configuration, when it is determined that the content to be displayed is accompanying content, broadcast related information related to the broadcast content from which the accompanying content is acquired is displayed. Therefore, in this case, the broadcast-related information displayed allows the user to recognize that the transmission source (provider) of the accompanying content is a specific broadcast content.

  That is, according to the above configuration, when displaying the communication content acquired from the communication network and the accompanying content acquired from the broadcasting network, even if the communication content and the accompanying content are based on the same specification, a single browser program Even when the content is displayed, the user can easily identify and recognize the transmission source of each content.

Embodiment 1
Hereinafter, Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.

<Device configuration>
First, the configuration of the display device according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a main configuration of a display device (display control device) 1. In the figure, a server 100 that is a WWW (World Wide Web) server that provides contents on the Internet and an antenna 200 that receives broadcast waves are also shown.

  The display device 1 is a device that can display content acquired from a communication network and content acquired from a broadcast network. Here, an example will be described in which the communication network is the Internet, the broadcast network is a digital broadcast network, and the display device 1 is a television receiver capable of acquiring content from these networks.

  As illustrated, the display device 1 includes a control unit 2, a storage unit 3, a communication unit 4, a broadcast receiving unit 5, an input unit 6, and a display unit 7. In addition to the above, the display device 1 includes a block that outputs sound, but is not illustrated because it is not directly related to the present invention.

  The control unit 2 controls the operation of the display device 1 in an integrated manner, and includes a content reception unit 10, a content extraction unit 11, a transmission source determination unit (determination means) 12, and a browser 13. The browser 13 includes a transmission source display unit (transmission source display means) 14 and a display control unit 15.

  The content receiving unit 10 accesses the server 100 and acquires content. Specifically, the content receiving unit 10 transmits a content transmission request to the server 100 via the communication unit 4, receives the content transmitted from the server 100, and stores it in the storage unit 3. The content receiving unit 10 also stores the URL used when accessing the content together with the content.

  The content transmission request may be made by, for example, the “GET” method. Further, the URL may store a value defined in RFC1738 “Uniform Resource Locators”, for example.

  The content extraction unit 11 extracts content and broadcast attribute information from the broadcast stream received by the broadcast reception unit 5 and stores the content and broadcast attribute information in the storage unit 3. Hereinafter, the content extracted from the broadcast stream is referred to as extracted content (accompanying content). Further, the content extraction unit 11 records an extracted content flag indicating that the content is the extracted content together with the extracted content to be stored.

The extracted content is not a digital broadcast program (broadcast content) itself but a data broadcast content associated therewith, for example. The extracted content is, for example, DSM-CC (Digital Storage Media Command) defined by ISO / IEC 13818-6.
and control) data transmitted from a broadcasting station by a data carousel (the substance is an HTML file, an image file, or the like). For example, BML (Broadcast Markup Language) format content in Japanese terrestrial digital broadcasting, HTML format content in European digital broadcasting, and the like correspond to this.

  The broadcast attribute information is information indicating the attributes of the broadcast being received. For example, the channel number, channel name, program name, program start time, program length, etc. of the broadcast can be used as the broadcast attribute information. As the channel number, the value of the remote control key ID of the broadcast described in the NIT (network information table) can be used. As the channel name, an organization channel name described in SDT (service description table) can be used. As the program name, program start time, and program length, values described in the EIT (event information table) can be used.

  Note that the broadcast attribute information is not limited to the above example as long as the user can recognize to some extent what kind of broadcast the broadcast is. Further, for example, the file name of the extracted content (file name of an HTML file or the like) may be used as one piece of broadcast attribute information.

  The transmission source determination unit 12 determines the transmission source of the content displayed on the display unit 7. Specifically, the transmission source determination unit 12 determines whether the content displayed on the display unit 7 is the WEB content (communication content) acquired by the content reception unit 10 or the extracted content acquired by the content extraction unit 11. Judge whether there is.

  The browser 13 is software that allows the user to browse content in a format such as HTML. The main functions of the browser 13 are content display and presentation of the transmission source of the content being displayed. These functions are realized by the transmission source display unit 14 and the display control unit 15.

  The transmission source display unit 14 displays a transmission source presentation image that is an image for presenting the transmission source of the content being displayed to the user according to the determination result of the transmission source determination unit 12. Specifically, when the transmission source determination unit 12 determines that the WEB content is being displayed, a transmission source presentation image for the WEB content is displayed on the display unit 7. When the transmission source determination unit 12 determines that the extracted content is being displayed, a transmission source presentation image for the extracted content is displayed on the display unit 7.

Note that the transmission source presentation image for WEB content includes the URL (address) of the content. In addition, the transmission source presentation image for the extracted content includes broadcast-related information (for example, one or more of a channel number, a channel name, and a program name) related to the broadcast content of the extraction source. This broadcast-related information is based on broadcast attribute information. For example, when a channel number and a channel name are included in the broadcast attribute information, “xxx channel television ○○” (xxx: channel number, television ○○ ○: A character string such as a channel name may be included.

  In this way, the display device 1 makes it easy for the user to check the content transmission source by determining the content transmission source and displaying the transmission source presentation image corresponding to the determination result.

  The display control unit 15 causes the display unit 7 to display the content 50 stored in the storage unit 3 (the WEB content acquired by the content receiving unit 10 or the extracted content acquired by the content extracting unit 11). Specifically, the file of the web content or the extracted content is interpreted and displayed based on, for example, RFC1866 “Hypertext Markup Language-2.0”.

  The storage unit 3 is a storage device that stores various data used by the display device 1. In the illustrated example, the storage unit 3 stores content 50. As described above, the content 50 includes the extracted content extracted from the broadcast stream and the WEB content received from the server 100. The extracted content is recorded together with the broadcast attribute information and the extracted content flag, and the WEB content is recorded together with the URL.

  The communication unit 4 is for the display device 1 to communicate with other devices. Here, since it is assumed that the communication unit 4 communicates with the server 100 via the Internet, the communication unit 4 can communicate with devices on the Internet.

The broadcast receiving unit 5 receives a digital broadcast. The digital broadcast may be, for example, DVB (Digital Video Broadcasting) standard broadcast or ISDB (Integrated
(Service Digital Broadcasting) and the like.

  The input unit 6 receives a user input operation on the display device 1. The input unit 6 may be, for example, a receiving unit that receives a transmission signal of a remote controller that remotely operates the display device 1.

  The display unit 7 displays an image according to the control of the control unit 2. The display unit 7 may be an external device externally attached to the display device 1. The same applies to the storage unit 3 and the input unit 6.

<Display screen example>
Next, a display screen example of the display device 1 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of a display screen displayed by the display device 1. FIG. 4A shows an example of a screen when a transmission source presentation image for WEB content is displayed, and FIG. 4B shows an example of a screen when a transmission source presentation image for extracted content is displayed. Yes.

  In the examples of FIGS. 2 (a) and 2 (b), the browser screen is displayed, and the transmission source presentation image is displayed in a pop-up on the browser screen. The contents are different.

That is, the URL (http: //xxx/yyy/zzz.html) is displayed as the page transmission source in the transmission source presentation image in FIG. On the other hand, in the transmission source presentation image of FIG. 5B displaying the extracted content, the channel name (xxx channel) and the broadcast station name (TV ○○) are displayed as the transmission source of the page.

  In addition, the transmission source presentation images in the examples of FIGS. 5A and 5B each include an item “OK”. This item is for the user who has completed the content confirmation of the transmission source presentation image to end the display of the transmission source presentation image.

  As described above, the display device 1 displays a transmission source presentation image having contents corresponding to the transmission source. Thereby, when the user performs an operation for displaying the transmission source presentation image, if the WEB content is displayed, the URL can be confirmed.

  Also, if the extracted content is displayed when an operation to display the transmission source presentation image is performed, information about the broadcast from which the content is extracted is displayed, so confirm the transmission source of the content. Can do.

  Note that the URL or broadcast-related information may be displayed in a form in which the user can recognize it, and is not limited to the form in which the transmission source presentation image as shown in FIGS. For example, URL or broadcast related information may be displayed temporarily or constantly in a predetermined area on the screen (may be a position superimposed on broadcast content or WEB content, or a position not superimposed). .

<Process flow>
Next, the flow of processing executed by the display device 1 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating an example of processing executed by the display device 1 when the user performs an input operation.

  When detecting the user operation (S1), the input unit 6 outputs a signal indicating the detected operation content to the control unit 2. As a result, the control unit 2 analyzes the output signal and determines whether the operation detected in S1 is a broadcast receiving operation (S2).

  Note that the broadcast reception operation refers to an operation for starting reception of a broadcast, for example, an operation of turning on the power of the display device 1 or switching from display of WEB content to display of broadcast. When channel switching is performed, since broadcast reception is started after channel selection to a different channel, channel switching may also be determined as one of broadcast reception operations.

  When it is determined that the operation is a broadcast reception operation (YES in S2), the content extraction unit 11 accompanies the digital broadcast program (broadcast content) from the broadcast stream received by the broadcast reception unit 5. Content (extracted content) and broadcast attribute information are acquired (S3).

  Then, the content extraction unit 11 stores the acquired content and broadcast attribute information in the storage unit 3 (S4). Further, the content extracting unit 11 records the extracted content flag together with the stored extracted content (S5). Furthermore, the content extraction unit 11 instructs the display control unit 15 to display the stored extracted content.

  Upon receiving this instruction, the display control unit 15 reads out the stored extracted content (S6) and analyzes it (S7). Then, an image based on the result of this analysis is displayed on the display unit 7 (S8), and the process is terminated. The extracted content may be controlled to be displayed after the input unit 6 receives a display instruction from the user.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in S2 that the operation is not a broadcast reception operation (NO in S2), it is determined whether the operation is a content reception operation from the server 100 (S9). The content receiving operation from the server 100 is an operation for starting reception of WEB content. For example, an operation of switching from broadcasting display to WEB content display or an operation of selecting a link to the WEB content. It corresponds to.

  If it is determined that the operation is a reception operation from the server 100 (YES in S9), the content receiving unit 10 transmits a request to the server 100 to acquire content (WEB content) (S10). Then, the content receiving unit 10 stores the acquired WEB content and the URL thereof in the storage unit 3 (S11), and instructs the display control unit 15 to display the stored WEB content. Thereafter, the processes of S6 to S8 described above are performed, the WEB content is displayed, and the process ends.

  If it is determined in S9 that the operation is not a reception operation from the server 100 (NO in S9), it is determined whether a display operation of the transmission source has been performed (S12). The display operation of the transmission source is an operation that serves as a trigger for displaying the transmission source presentation image. For example, an operation for pressing a predetermined button of the remote controller or an item for displaying the transmission source presentation image from the menu screen is displayed. It may be an operation to select.

  Here, when it is determined that the display operation of the transmission source is not performed (NO in S12), another process (not shown) according to the user operation is performed, and the process ends.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the display operation of the transmission source has been performed (YES in S12), a transmission source display process is performed by the transmission source determination unit 12 and the browser 13 (S13), and transmission according to the content being displayed is performed. The original presentation image is displayed and the process ends. The transmission source display process will be described below.

<Sender display processing>
Next, the transmission source display process (display control method) performed in S13 of FIG. 3 will be described based on FIG. FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a transmission source display process.

  First, the transmission source determination unit 12 refers to the content 50 in the storage unit 3 and determines whether the extracted content flag is recorded in association with the displayed content (S20). That is, S20 is a determination step of determining whether the content to be displayed is WEB content or extracted content with reference to the extracted content flag.

  Here, when it is determined that the extracted content flag is recorded in association (YES in S20), the transmission source determination unit 12 reads the broadcast attribute information of the content from the storage unit 3 (S21), and the transmission source Output to the display unit 14.

  Next, the transmission source display unit 14 generates a character string (broadcast related information) indicating the transmission source based on the output broadcast attribute information (S22). The character string generated here is a character string indicating a channel number, a channel name, or a broadcasting station name, as described above.

  Then, the transmission source display unit 14 generates a transmission source presentation image including the generated character string, and instructs the display control unit 15 to display the transmission source presentation image on the display unit 7 (S23, transmission source). Display step). Thereby, the display as shown in FIG. 2B is performed, and the transmission source display process is completed.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the extracted content flag is not recorded in association (NO in S20), the transmission source determination unit 12 reads the URL of the content from the storage unit 3 (S24), and the transmission source display unit 14 Output to.

  In this case, the transmission source display unit 14 generates a transmission source presentation image including the output URL and instructs the display control unit 15 to display the transmission source presentation image on the display unit 7 (S25, transmission source). Display step). Thereby, the display as shown in FIG. 2A is performed, and the transmission source display process is completed.

<< Embodiment 2 >>
The display device 1 of the above embodiment has a WEB content reception function and a broadcast reception function, and is configured to acquire both WEB content and extracted content. However, since the main feature of the present invention is the display of the transmission source presentation image corresponding to the content being displayed, the content acquisition route is not particularly limited.

  In the present embodiment, an example in which the display of the transmission source presentation image corresponding to the content being displayed is realized by a display system in which the reception function of the WEB content and the reception function of the broadcast are installed in separate apparatuses is shown in FIG. This will be explained based on.

<System configuration>
FIG. 5 is a block diagram illustrating an example of a main configuration of the broadcast receiving device (another communication device) 20 and the display terminal (display control device) 30 included in the display system 40 according to the present embodiment. In addition, about the structure similar to the said embodiment, the same reference number is attached | subjected and the description is abbreviate | omitted.

  In the display system 40, the broadcast receiving device 20 receives the broadcast, extracts the content included in the broadcast, and transmits the extracted content (extracted content) to the display terminal 30. One display terminal 30 can display the extracted content received from the broadcast receiving apparatus 20 and can receive and display the WEB content from the server 100. Then, the display terminal 30 displays a transmission source presentation image corresponding to the content being displayed.

  That is, in the display system 40, the broadcast receiving device 20 performs the functions of the broadcast receiving unit 5 and the content extracting unit 11 in the display device 1 of the above embodiment, and the display terminal 30 performs the remaining functions.

<Configuration of broadcast receiving device>
The broadcast receiving device 20 is a device that acquires content from a broadcast network. The content received by the broadcast receiving device 20 is the same as the content received by the display device 1. As illustrated, the broadcast receiving device 20 includes a receiving device control unit 21, a receiving device storage unit 22, a broadcast receiving unit 5, and a receiving device communication unit 23. Note that the illustration of the configuration of the display unit and the like is omitted.

  The reception device control unit 21 controls the operation of the broadcast reception device 20 in an integrated manner, and includes a content extraction unit 11 and a content transmission unit 24.

The content transmitting unit 24 transmits the extracted content extracted by the content extracting unit 11 from the broadcast and stored in the receiving device storage unit 22, the broadcast attribute information, and the extracted content flag to the display terminal 30. The transmission mode of these data is not particularly limited. For example, the data may be transmitted based on RFC 2616 using the HTTP POST method. In this case, the Request-URI may be a different value for content and broadcast attribute information, and transmission may be performed separately for each Request-URI. Also, a single request
-For URI, content and broadcast attribute information may be transmitted as separate entities at once in the form of a multipart message body.

  Note that the value of the Request-URI may be acquired from a transmission destination device (here, the display terminal 30) and stored in advance. For example, when registering information of the display terminal 30 to the broadcast receiving device 20, a value of Request-URI is transmitted from the display terminal 30 to the broadcast receiving device 20, and this value is stored in the broadcast receiving device 20.

<Modification>
In the above description, the display device 1 that acquires the extracted content and the WEB content has been described, and the display system 40 that includes the broadcast receiving device 20 that acquires the extracted content and the display terminal 30 that acquires the WEB content has been described.

  However, the present invention can be applied to any device that can display the extracted content and the WEB content on its own device or another device, and is not limited to these examples. That is, the present invention can be applied to a display control device (for example, a desktop personal computer or a television receiver in which a display and a broadcast receiving device are separated) that causes other devices to perform display. is there.

  In addition, the display terminal 30 of the above-described embodiment receives the WEB content by its own device and acquires the extracted content from the broadcast receiving device 20, but acquires both the extracted content and the WEB content from an external device. There may be.

<Simultaneous display of multiple contents>
In each of the above-described embodiments, the example in which the content to be displayed on one screen is either the WEB content or the extracted content has been described. However, these contents may be simultaneously displayed on one screen by, for example, multi-window display. .

In this case, when a user operation for displaying the content transmission source is performed, the WEB content transmission source presentation image (including the URL) is displayed together with the WEB content, and the extracted content transmission source is displayed together with the extraction content. A presentation image (including broadcast-related information) may be displayed.

  That is, the transmission source display unit 14 displays the URL together with the communication content when the content determined by the transmission source determination unit 12 as the communication content and the content determined by the transmission source determination unit 12 as the extracted content are displayed simultaneously. Then, the broadcast related information may be displayed together with the extracted content.

<Display timing of sender-presented image>
In each of the embodiments described above, the example in which the transmission source presentation image is displayed according to the user operation for displaying the transmission source has been described, but the display timing of the transmission source presentation image is not limited to this.

  For example, you may display at the timing which starts the display of a content. For example, when a plurality of contents can be displayed on one screen at the same time, the window may be displayed at the timing when the window is preferentially displayed. That is, the transmission source display unit 14 may display the URL when the communication content is preferentially displayed, and may display the broadcast related information when the extracted content is preferentially displayed.

  Note that the priority display refers to a display state that attracts the user's attention than the other content or a state that is controlled by the input unit 6 using a remote controller or the like. For example, a large display, a front display, a voice output target, a marking indicating priority (such as a frame or an additional display of an icon) corresponds to this. In the case of displaying in the multi-window format, the content displayed in the window (active window) selected by the user is the content preferentially displayed.

  Moreover, you may change the timing which displays a transmission source presentation image with a WEB content and an extraction content. For example, in the case of WEB content, it may be displayed at the timing when the display of the WEB content is started, and in the case of extracted content, it may be displayed according to a user operation.

  That is, when the input unit 6 receives a user operation for displaying content, if the transmission source determination unit 12 determines that the content to be displayed is WEB content, the URL is displayed and the content is extracted content. If it is judged, it is not displayed. When the input unit 6 accepts a user operation for displaying the content transmission source, the transmission source determination unit 12 displays the broadcast-related information when it is determined that the content to be displayed is the extracted content. It may be a configuration.

  Further, the timing for terminating the display of the transmission source presentation image and the display position are not particularly limited. For example, the display may be automatically ended at a certain time after the display is started, or is always displayed at a predetermined position on the screen (for example, the end of the screen) until the user operation for ending the display is performed. You may let them.

<Display recorded content>
In each of the above embodiments, an example of displaying a transmission source presentation image of content being broadcasted has been shown. However, a transmission source presentation image may be displayed even during playback of recorded content. Further, when considering the reproduction of the recorded content, information indicating the storage date and time may be recorded when the extracted content is stored, and a transmission source presentation image including the storage date and time of the extracted content may be displayed.

  That is, the display device 1 or the display terminal 30 described above may include recording means for recording the extracted content and recording the recording date and time when recording the broadcast content. The transmission source display unit 14 records the content displayed during the reproduction of the recorded broadcast content by the recording unit together with the broadcast related information when the transmission source determination unit 12 determines that the content is the extracted content. The date and time may be displayed.

  Note that it is preferable to display the date and time only when the recorded content is played back, and not when displaying the content being broadcast.

  In addition, recently, there are also WEB contents that are distributed live, so that when a recorded live-distributed WEB content is played back, a transmission source presentation image including the recording date and time may be displayed in the same manner as described above. .

<Identification of WEB content and extracted content>
In each of the above-described embodiments, the extracted content flag is used as identification information to determine whether the displayed content is WEB content or extracted content. However, the identification information is not limited to this example.

  For example, a flag indicating that the content is the WEB content may be recorded as the identification information together with the WEB content, and the above determination may be performed based on the flag.

  For example, when the file formats of the WEB content and the extracted content are different (BML, HTML, etc.), the above determination may be made by referring to the file format as identification information.

  In addition, it may be determined that the content stored in association with the broadcast attribute information is the extracted content, or the URL is also stored in the storage unit 3 for the extracted content, and the URL scheme unit is specified by the specific part. Content that is a character string may be determined to be extracted content. Alternatively, the content stored in association with the URL may be determined as the WEB content. In this case, the identification information is broadcast attribute information or URL.
