CRTC unit 1 that converts into TV image signals, etc.
0, a video switching unit 11 that switches between the signal obtained by the CRTC unit 10 and the television signal obtained by the demodulation unit 3 to enable subtitles, etc., and a remote control unit 12 that receives a remote control signal from the remote control unit 12. An input section 13, an EEPROM section 14 that stores data from the teletext (product number and telephone number data) and address and name data, are connected to a telephone line, automatically dial a predetermined telephone, and store the EEPROM A modem section 15 and an NCU section 1 that transmit predetermined data stored in the section 14 via a telephone line.
6 is provided.

In addition, as shown in Figure 2, the remote control of the teletext receiver has, in addition to keys for normal operations, the following keys:
A "Purchase" key 12a and an rYEsJ key 12b are provided. Note that when the "subtitle" key 12c of the remote control 12 is operated, the subtitles of the teletext broadcast are displayed on the screen of the television program as usual.

As shown in FIG. 3, a sales company 17 that sells products conducts television shopping (
A request for product introduction via television and text broadcasting is made, and the television shopping is broadcasted to each household 19 by the broadcasting station 18. On the other hand, the television receiver 20 equipped with the above-configured teletext receiver displays television broadcasts and teletext broadcasts from the broadcasting station 18, and the teletext receiver is connected to a telephone network 21, for example. The line with sales company 17 is now connectable.

Next, the fourth step is to purchase products using the teletext receiver with the above configuration.
This will be explained with reference to the figure and the television screen shown in FIG. Note that the EEPROM section 14 of this teletext receiver stores the address and name of the house where the teletext receiver is installed.

First, it is assumed that the broadcasting station 18 is broadcasting a TV shopping program based on a request from the sales company 17, and a text broadcast corresponding to the TV shopping program is also being performed. Then, the TV shopping is broadcast on the TV receiver receiving the TV broadcast of the broadcast station 18, but when the "subtitle" key 12c of the remote control 12 is operated, for example, the screen of the TV receiver is In addition to the TV shopping, text programs are displayed with subtitles on 20a (
(shown in Figure 4). In other words, the products sold by sales company 17,
For example, paintings, vases, etc. are displayed on the screen 20a, and at the bottom of the screen 20a, the number (for example, r 123'') and price (for example, r
loo.

000 yen") etc. are displayed. Note that the product number, price, etc. in the text broadcast may be displayed as a subtitle, and may be displayed several times. Furthermore, since the broadcasting station 18 broadcasts to introduce sales products in sequence, the sales products, product numbers, and prices are sequentially displayed on the screen 20a, as described above.

Here, when the "purchase" key 12c of the remote control 12 is operated while the purchased product is displayed, the code of the remote control signal is analyzed by the CPU 9, and the display processing shown in FIG. 5, for example, is performed. . At this time, the display data may be transmitted from the broadcasting station 18 as teletext data, for example, and stored in the EEPRoM section 14 in the teletext receiver that receives the teletext. Then, when the rYEsJ key L2b is operated according to the display in order to purchase the product with the number displayed on the screen 20a, the code of the remote control signal is analyzed in the CPtJ9, and the control of the NCU section 16 is executed. Then, the telephone number of the sales company stored in the EEPROM section 14 is automatically dialed. In addition, the telephone number data of the sales company may be transmitted to the broadcasting station 18 as teletext data, for example.
and is stored in advance in the EEPROM section 14 of the teletext receiver.

Subsequently, when a line is connected between the teletext receiver and the sales company 17, the CPU 9 of the teletext receiver transmits data such as the number of the purchased product, the address, and the name to the E.
These data are read from the EPROM unit 14 and transmitted to the sales company 17 via the modem unit 15. Then, the sales company 17 can accept the purchase application based on the transmitted data, and can, for example, send an invoice for the purchase together with the product at a later date. In this case, the product purchaser pays for the product, for example, by cash on delivery or by bank transfer.

In this way, the broadcasting station transmits the product number and price as teletext data along with the TV shopping broadcast, and the teletext receivers of the specified majority of people transmit the above characters to the TV shopping. Subtitles were added to the broadcast, and a line was connected to the TV shopping sales company by pressing a button on a remote control, etc., and the number of the purchased product and the address and name of the purchaser were automatically transmitted. Therefore, when you want to purchase a product on TV shopping, you can apply to purchase the product with a simple operation, and there is no need to memorize the product number, sales company, etc. There's nothing you can't do, and you have plenty of leeway when choosing products.
