Broadcast receiving apparatus for receiving program contents based on location information
A digital broadcast receiving apparatus capable of executing a function with a higher added value can include: a broadcast receiving unit configured to receive broadcasting data of broadcasting program contents and location information from a broadcast transmission path, a reference destination for obtaining data related to the broadcasting data being described in the location information; a communication unit configured to receive communication data of the program contents from the reference destination described in the location information via a communication line; a recording/reproducing unit configured to record and reproduce the broadcasting data of the broadcasting program contents received by the broadcast receiving unit; an outputting unit configured to output the broadcasting data of the broadcasting program contents reproduced from the recording/reproducing unit to external equipment; and a server function unit for external equipment. The outputting unit can include a state where the location information is outputted together with reproduced broadcasting data.
1. A broadcast receiving apparatus, comprising:
a broadcast receiver configured to receive broadcasting data of broadcasting program contents and location information from a broadcast transmission path, a reference destination for obtaining data related to the broadcasting data being described in the location information;
a network transceiver configured to receive data related to the broadcasting program contents from the reference destination described in the location information via a network;
a storage configured to store and reproduce the broadcasting data of the broadcasting program contents received by the broadcast receiver;
an outputting interface configured to output the broadcasting data of the broadcasting program contents reproduced from the storage to external equipment; and
a memory configured to store a server function program of a server function for the external equipment,
wherein as an output state of the outputting interface, there is a state where the location information in which a description of the reference destination is rewritten into a description indicating the server function of the server function program in the broadcast receiving apparatus is outputted together with the broadcasting data reproduced from the storage.
2. The broadcast receiving apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein a format of the rewritten location information is the same as a format of the location information received by the broadcast receiver.
3. A broadcast receiving apparatus, comprising:
a broadcast receiver configured to receive broadcasting data of broadcasting program contents, location information, and layout control information from a broadcast transmission path, a reference destination for obtaining data related to the broadcasting data being described in the location information, the layout control information relating to a display layout of the broadcasting program contents;
a network transceiver configured to receive data related to the broadcasting program contents from the reference destination described in the location information via a network;
a storage configured to store and reproduce the broadcasting data of the broadcasting program contents received by the broadcast receiver;
an outputting interface configured to output the broadcasting data of the broadcasting program contents reproduced from the storage to external equipment; and
a memory configured to store a server function program of a server function for the external equipment,
wherein as an output state of the outputting, there is a state where the location information in which a description of the reference destination is rewritten into a description indicating the server function of the server function program in the broadcast receiving apparatus and the layout control information maintained in the state received by the broadcast receiver are outputted together with the broadcasting data reproduced from the storage.
4. The broadcast receiving apparatus according to claim 3 ,
wherein a format of the rewritten location information is the same as a format of the location information received by the broadcast receiver.
