Abstract

It is an object of the present invention to provide a content receiving apparatus capable of receiving, storing, and externally exporting content distributed from various networks. A receiving apparatus for receiving a digital signal in which a 3D video program and a 2D video program are mixedly present, includes a program selection unit configured to display and select a received program list; and a function determination unit configured to determine a function of viewing the 3D video program and 2D video program included in the receiving apparatus, wherein the program selection unit displays a viewable program list of the receiving apparatus according to a determination result of the function determination unit at the time of displaying the received program list.

Claims (26)

1 . A receiving apparatus for receiving a digital signal in which a 3D video program and a 2D video program are mixedly present, comprising:

a program selection unit configured to display and select a received program list; and

a function determination unit configured to determine a function of viewing the 3D video program and 2D video program included in the receiving apparatus,

wherein the program selection unit displays a viewable program list of the receiving apparatus according to a determination result of the function determination unit at the time of displaying the received program list.

2 . The receiving apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the function determination unit determines whether the receiving apparatus can receive a 3D video program, the receiving apparatus can receive a 3D video program by adding a 3D viewing unit for viewing the 3D video program, and the receiving apparatus includes a display unit for displaying a 3D video program.

3 . The receiving apparatus according to claim 1 or 2 ,

wherein the program selection unit displays, according to the selected program, conditions that the receiving apparatus can view a 3D video program.

4 . A method for receiving a digital signal in which a 3D video program and a 2D video program are mixedly present, comprising:

determining a function of viewing the 3D video program and the 2D video program; and

displaying a viewable program list at the time of selecting a program for displaying and receiving a program list.

5 . A receiving apparatus for receiving a digital signal in which a 3D video program and a 2D video program are mixedly present, comprising:

a program selection unit configured to display and select a received program list; and

a storage unit configured to store device specification information indicating whether the 3D video program included in the receiving apparatus can be displayed,

wherein:

when a device specification determination command transmitted from a server is executed, the receiving apparatus creates a character string indicating whether to correspond to a display of the 3D video program based on the device specification information; and

at the time of displaying a received program list, the program selection unit displays a viewable program list of the receiving apparatus according to whether the receiving apparatus indicated by the character string corresponds to a display of the 3D video program.

6 . The receiving apparatus according to claim 5 ,

wherein the function determination unit determines whether the receiving apparatus can receive a 3D video program, the receiving apparatus can receive a 3D video program by adding a 3D viewing unit for viewing the 3D video program, and the receiving apparatus includes a display unit for displaying a 3D video program.

7 . The receiving apparatus according to claim 5 ,

wherein the program selection unit displays, according to the selected program, conditions that the receiving apparatus can view a 3D video program.

8 . The receiving apparatus according to claim 6 ,

wherein the program selection unit displays, according to the selected program, conditions that the receiving apparatus can view a 3D video program.

9 . A method for receiving a digital signal in which a 3D video program and a 2D video program are mixedly present, comprising:

creating a character string indicating whether a receiving apparatus corresponds to a display of the 3D video program based on device specification information indicating whether the receiving apparatus can display a display of the 3D video program when a device specification determination command transmitted from a server is executed; and

displaying a viewable program list according to whether the receiving apparatus indicated by the character string corresponds to a display of the 3D video program at the time of selecting a program for displaying and receiving a program list.
