Abstract

L'invention porte sur une télévision (1) affichant une image en traitant des données d'affichage comprenant une image et un script de commande définissant au moins une première fonction d'affichage de l'image, et une deuxième fonction de commande s'effectuant pendant l'affichage de l'image. La télévision (1) comporte: une unité d'exécution (42) d'un programme de fonction de base stocké dans une unité (29) de stockage de programmes de fonctions de base et appelée par un script de commande; et une unité d'exécution (41) du script de commande commandant l'unité d'exécution (42) de fonctions de base pour qu'elle exécute la première fonction et la deuxième fonction définies dans le script de commande. Le script de commande définit en outre la correspondance entre une opération d'utilisateur s'exécutant sur la télévision (1) et la première ou la deuxième fonction devant s'exécuter sur la télévision (1) lors de la réception de l'opération. L'unité de commande d'exécution (41) exécute la première et la deuxième fonction correspondant à l'opération reçue de l'utilisateur. Il est ainsi facile de procéder à une modification d'une fonction du dispositif.
