Apply the processing of

  The speaker 77 outputs voice based on the voice signal input from the voice processing unit 76.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining an example of setting information R of the broadcast receiving apparatus 1 according to the embodiment.

  The control unit 81 is a circuit that controls each unit in the broadcast receiving apparatus 1. The control unit 81 has a processor 82 and a memory 83. The function of the control unit 81 is realized by the processor 82 reading and executing various programs and data stored in the memory 83. The control unit 81 can also execute various applications stored in the memory 83. The control unit 81 may further be provided with an internal storage device such as an HDD.

  The memory 83 has, for example, a readable and writable storage element such as a flash ROM. The memory 83 stores programs of various applications executed on the broadcast receiving apparatus 1.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 3, the memory 83 also includes setting information R including valid / invalid of display of the message Ms (FIG. 6), discrimination information of display target, and valid / invalid of automatic change of operation authority. It is memorized. The setting information R can be set by a user's instruction input.

  In the setting information R, when the display of the message Ms is set to be effective, the message Ms can be displayed according to the determination result of the operation authority switching determination process described later. On the other hand, when the display of the message Ms is set to be invalid, the display of the message Ms is not performed.

  The message Ms is displayed to inquire the user about the change of the operation right. When the message Ms is displayed, the user can input an instruction to respond to the message Ms. The message Ms may be stored in advance in the memory 83, or may be generated based on character information included in predetermined notification information.

  The display target determination information is information for determining the display target video content of the message Ms, and is set by a channel, a program, or the like. In the example of FIG. 2, the discrimination information can be set to either “all” in which all video contents are to be displayed or “partial” in which a part of video contents is to be displayed. When the discrimination information is set to "partial", the discrimination information can further set the video content to be displayed by the channel or the program, etc., for the channels X1, X2, ..., the programs Y1, Y2, ... is there. The determination information is not limited to the setting by the channel or the program, and may be set according to other conditions. For example, the determination information may be set by the day of the week or the program start time.

  When the operation right automatic change is set to be valid, the operation right is changed when predetermined notification information is received and the message Ms is not displayed.

  In addition to the program for controlling each unit in the broadcast receiving apparatus 1, the memory 83 also includes a timer T, a message display determination unit P1, an object determination unit P2, a recording and reproduction determination unit P3, a non-display period determination unit P4, and operation invalidation. Programs of the period determination unit P5, the mark display unit P6, the operation right change determination unit P7, the non-display setting instruction determination unit P8, the continuous non-change instruction determination unit P9, and the continuous instruction suspension determination unit P10 are also stored.

  The timer T starts operation in response to an instruction from the processor 82, and outputs the time elapsed from the start of the operation.

  Based on the setting information R stored in the memory 83, the message display determining unit P1 determines whether the display of the message Ms is set to be valid.

  The object determination unit P2 determines, based on the determination information, whether the video content being output by the video and audio output unit 71 is set as a display target of the message Ms. The control unit 81 hides the message Ms of the display screen D when determining that the video content is not a display target of the message Ms based on the determination information.

  The recording / reproduction determination unit P3 determines whether the video content output by the video / audio output unit 71 is one obtained by reproducing a recording. The control unit 81 hides the message Ms when the video content reproduced from the recording is output to the display area D2.

  The non-display period determination unit P4 determines whether it is within the non-display period of the message Ms. The non-display period is a period from when the user inputs an instruction to not change the operation right to when the first predetermined time elapses. The control unit 81 estimates that the user desires not to change the operation right until the first predetermined time elapses from the time when the instruction to not change the operation right is input by the processing of the non-display period determination unit P4. The message Ms is not displayed until the first predetermined time elapses from the time when there is an instruction input for not changing the operation right.

  The first predetermined time is, for example, the time until the program being watched is changed to another program, the time until the channel being watched is changed to another channel, the time until power off or on standby Are set beforehand so as not to make the user feel bothersome.

  The operation invalid period determination unit P5 determines whether or not the operation invalid period is within. The operation invalid period is a period until the second predetermined time elapses from the time when the message Ms is displayed. The control unit 81 invalidates the instruction input operation until the second predetermined time elapses from the time when the message Ms is displayed.

  The second predetermined time is set empirically or experimentally so that, for example, a user operating an application does not erroneously input an instruction to the message Ms when the message Ms is displayed. The second predetermined time is, for example, one second.

  While the viewer participation corner is being performed, the mark display unit P6 arranges a mark Mk indicating that participation in the viewer participation corner is possible in the vicinity of the display area D2 to which the operation right is not assigned. When the predetermined notification information is transmitted at predetermined intervals by the transmitter of the broadcast signal, the mark display unit P6 displays the mark Mk near the display area D2 while the predetermined notification information is being received. It may be configured to be displayed in the vicinity of the display area D2 until a broadcast signal or an instruction to end the viewer participation corner is received from the server Sv. When the mark Mk is displayed, the user can recognize that the user can participate in the viewer participation corner, and can change the operation right to the display area D2 by the operation unit 41 or the remote controller Rc.

  The operation authority change determination unit P7 determines whether to change the operation authority based on the setting information R. When the control unit 81 determines that the change of the operation right is valid based on the setting information R acquired from the memory 83 when the predetermined notification information is acquired, the display area D1 corresponding to the instruction input is received. , Change to D2. For example, when the automatic change of the operation right is effective in the setting information R, the control unit 81 changes the operation right even if the message Ms is not displayed.

  The non-display setting instruction determination unit P8 determines whether or not the non-display setting of the message Ms from the next time onward is input by the user. The control unit 81 sets the display of the message Ms in the setting information R to invalid when there is an instruction input for non-display setting of the message Ms.

  The continuous non-modification instruction determination unit P9 determines whether or not the user has made an instruction input for non-modification of the operation right continuously for the first predetermined number of times. The first predetermined number is set empirically or experimentally so that the user can estimate that he does not want to change the operation right even after the next time. The control unit 81 sets the display of the message Ms in the setting information R to invalid when the instruction input for not changing the operation right is continuously performed for the first predetermined number of times.

  The continuous instruction suspension determining unit P10 determines whether or not there is an instruction input of the end button M4 and the like and a change and non-change instruction of the operation right is suspended continuously for the second predetermined number of times. The second predetermined number is set empirically or experimentally so that it can be estimated that the user does not change the operation right even after the next time. The control unit 81 sets the display of the message Ms in the setting information R to invalid when the user's instruction input in response to the message Ms is neither the change nor the non-change of the operation right continuously for the second predetermined number of times.

  That is, the video and audio output unit 71 outputs the display screen D including the first display area to which the operation right of the user's instruction input operation is assigned and the second display area for displaying the video content. When the predetermined notification information is acquired, the control unit 81 causes the display screen D to display a message Ms inquiring whether the operation right from the first display area to the second display area is changed or not changed. More specifically, the control unit 81 causes the display screen D to display the message Ms when predetermined notification information is acquired and the display of the message Ms is set to be effective. The memory 83 stores setting information R including either valid or invalid display of the message Ms, and also stores discrimination information for discriminating the video content to be displayed of the message Ms, valid or invalid for the change of the operation right It also stores setting information R including one of them.

  It is determined whether predetermined notification information, for example, notification information notifying that a viewer participation corner is to be started, has been received (S1). The control unit 81 determines whether or not there is predetermined notification information in the control information input from the signal processing unit 31 in the video content of the display area D2 to which the operation right is not assigned. The process of S1 is repeated until there is predetermined notification information (S1: NO), and when there is predetermined notification information (S1: YES), the process proceeds to S2.

  The setting information R is read (S2). The setting information R is read from the memory 83.

  It is determined whether the display of the message Ms is set to be effective (S3). The control unit 81 determines whether the display of the message Ms is valid based on the setting information R read in S2. When the display of the message Ms is valid (S3: YES), the process proceeds to S4. On the other hand, when the display of the message Ms is invalid (S3: NO), the process proceeds to S10.

  It is determined whether it is video content to be displayed (S4). In this S4, for example, it is determined whether or not it is a program of a specific genre, and in the case of a program of a specific genre, a message such as S7 is displayed. The control unit 81 determines whether the video content displayed on the video display unit 75 is included in the display target of the message Ms based on the setting information R read in S2. First, the control unit 81 acquires the channel and the program name of the video content being received from the control information input from the signal processing unit 31. Subsequently, the control unit 81 determines whether the video content is included in the display target, based on the display target determination information included in the setting information R. When the video content is included in the display target (S4: YES), the process proceeds to S5. On the other hand, when the video content is not included in the display target (S4: NO), the process proceeds to S10.

  It is judged whether it is recording reproduction (S5). The control unit 81 determines whether the video content output by the video and audio output unit 71 is one obtained by reproducing a recording. When the video content is not the one for reproducing the recording (S5: NO), the process proceeds to S6. On the other hand, when the video content is one obtained by reproducing a recording (S5: YES), the process proceeds to S10.

  It is determined whether it is within the non-display period (S6). In S6, the processing is different between the first round and the second round, and the processing is skipped in the first round. After the second round, the control unit 81 reads the elapsed time from the timer T which has started operation in response to the instruction input for not changing the operation right in S10 described later, and there is an instruction input for not changing the operation right. It is determined whether or not a first predetermined time has elapsed from the current time. When the first predetermined time has elapsed (S6: NO), the process proceeds to S7. On the other hand, when the first predetermined period has not elapsed (S6: YES), the process proceeds to S10.

  The message Ms is displayed (S7). The control unit 81 causes the message Ms to be displayed on the display screen D displayed by the video display unit 75 via the OSD signal generation unit 72, the graphic processing unit 73, and the video processing unit 74.
