Description

  The present invention relates to an information display system, a broadcast distribution center device, a broadcast reception server device, an information display method used therefor, and a program thereof, and in particular, the broadcast distribution center device distributes broadcast video from a broadcast station to the broadcast reception server device. The present invention relates to an information display method for displaying from a broadcast receiving server device on a television receiver.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, television receivers can be broadly classified into two types with respect to presentation methods of a sound image reproduced from a sound image signal provided by a plurality of viewable sound image signal sources. The first type displays only the video from one projection image signal source on the screen of the monitor which is a video display, and outputs the audio from the projection image signal source from the speaker which is an audio display. Yes (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  In the second type, the monitor screen is divided into a plurality of sub-screens, each displaying a video from a different image signal source, and the speaker outputs sound from one image signal source. is there. The first type of television receiver is called a single screen display television receiver, and the second type of television receiver is called a multi-screen television receiver.

  In the single-screen display television receiver, only a video image provided from one video signal source selected from a plurality of video signal sources is displayed to the viewer. On the other hand, in a multi-screen television receiver, video provided from a plurality of sound image signal sources is simultaneously displayed as the number of small screens on one screen, but the sound is a specific selected sound image. Only what is provided by the signal source is output.

  Here, an emergency notification message typified by an emergency telop that is broadcast in order to make it known in the event of a disaster or a serious incident is usually superimposed on radio waves transmitted from a general broadcasting station or the same. Broadcast on radio waves in the band.

  In the single-screen display television receiver, when the broadcast station that broadcasts the emergency notification message is selected as the image signal source, the emergency notification message is started when the normal broadcast content is displayed. In addition, the emergency notification is automatically displayed by video or audio. However, when an external device such as a video tape recorder or a video game is selected as the projection image signal source, the emergency notification message cannot be displayed as video or audio. This is because even if the single-screen display television receiver can receive the emergency notification message itself, the emergency notification cannot be displayed as a projection image.

  Further, in the multi-screen television receiver, when an image provided from a broadcasting station is displayed on one or more of the small screens, an emergency notification message can be displayed on the small screen. However, if the emergency notification message is displayed in voice instead of characters or images such as telops, the viewer has received the emergency notification message unless the small screen is selected for voice display. I can't know.

  Furthermore, when the emergency notification message is displayed in characters or images, the emergency notification that is displayed small on one of a plurality of small screens is inconspicuous, so it is very difficult for the viewer to notice its presence. . In this way, unlike a single-screen display television receiver, a multi-screen television receiver can technically display an emergency notification message. It is not very different from a single-screen display television receiver that it is very difficult to fulfill the original purpose of the emergency notification message.

  Therefore, when receiving a signal from an external device such as a video tape recorder or a video game machine and displaying a video on the display device, when an emergency notification message such as serious news is broadcast from the broadcasting station, the external device A method has been proposed in which an emergency notification message is synthesized and displayed on the video (see, for example, Patent Document 2).
