Abstract

For executing a graphic display without generating the sense of incompatibility in a view, within a receiver apparatus enabling 3D display, and also for an improvement of usability thereof, a receiver apparatus or a reproducing apparatus for obtaining digital information including information of whether a cubic display can be made or not, together with video information, comprises a controller portion for producing graphic data for use of display added with a parallax thereto, wherein the graphic data without generating a sense of incompatibility to a user by changing all or a part of the graphic data for use of display into data for use of cubic display, when producing the data fitting to a condition of a cubic display of an output video. In particular, when producing data of electronic program table, the cubic display is executed, partially, fitting to an object, and thereby increasing usability for a user.

Claims (23)

1. A receiver apparatus, comprising:

a receiver portion configured to receive digital information;

a divider portion configured to divide the received digital information into video data/audio data and program information data;

a decoder configured to decode the video data/audio data, which is divided in said divider portion, for viewing/listening the video data/audio data; and

a display controller portion configured to produce program information display data for use of a display based on said program information data divided, and configured to conduct a display control for displaying the program information display data produced piling on a decoded video by said decoder, wherein:

said display controller portion is configured to conduct a display control for displaying all or a part of the program information display data in 3D when said decoded video is displayed in 3D, and

the display controller portion is configured control the program information display data, which is displayed in 3D in front of the decoded video, when the said decoded video is displayed in 3D.

2. The receiver apparatus, as is described in claim 1 , wherein the data production by said display controller portion includes a process for giving parallaxes to video for left eye and video for right eye.

3. The receiver apparatus, as is described in claim 1 , wherein said display controller portion identifies a program of a cubic broadcast with said program information data received, and determines a portion to be displayed in a cubic manner within a portion for displaying the program information display data based on a result of the identification.

4. The receiver apparatus, as is described in claim 1 , wherein said display controller portion identifies predetermined taste information of a user, and determines a portion to be displayed in a cubic manner, when producing the program information display data, based on said program information data and said predetermined taste information of the user.

5. The receiver apparatus, as is described in claim 1 , further comprising:

a video controller portion configured to produce a cubic video through decoding said video data, wherein:

said display controller portion judges whether said video controller portion is outputting the video in a cubic manner or not, and

said display controller portion determines, based on a result of the judgment, whether said program information display data are to be displayed in a cubic manner or not.

6. The receiver apparatus, as is described in claim 1 , wherein said display controller portion identifies a program of a cubic broadcast with said program information data received, and produces, when producing said program information display data, particular program information display data having a line for displaying therein only program information of the identified program of the cubic broadcast.

7. The receiver apparatus, as is described in claim 2 , wherein said display controller portion changes the volume of jumping or projecting of the program information display data when changing the number of programs in the program information display data.

8. The receiver apparatus, as is described in claim 2 , wherein parallax volumes of all or a part of plural portions in the program information display data are different when producing the program information display data displaying the plural portions in a cubic manner.

9. The receiver apparatus, as is described in claim 2 , wherein parallax volumes of all or a part of plural portions in the program information display data are different when producing the program information display data displaying the plural portions in a cubic manner.

10. The receiver apparatus, as is described in claim 3 , wherein parallax volumes of all or a part of plural portions in the program information display data are different when producing the program information display data displaying the plural portions in a cubic manner.

11. The receiver apparatus, as is described in claim 4 , wherein parallax volumes of all or a part of plural portions in the program information display data are different when producing the program information display data displaying the plural portions in a cubic manner.

12. The receiver apparatus, as is described in claim 5 , wherein parallax volumes of all or a part of plural portions in the program information display data are different when producing the program information display data displaying the plural portions in a cubic manner.

13. The receiver apparatus, as is described in claim 6 , wherein parallax volumes of all or a part of plural portions in the program information display data are different when producing the program information display data displaying the plural portions in a cubic manner.

14. The receiver apparatus, as is described in claim 7 , wherein parallax volumes of all or a part of plural portions in the program information display data are different when producing the program information display data displaying the plural portions in a cubic manner.
