Abstract

A content display apparatus includes a plurality of communication antennas arranged on the same side as the display portion, a non-contact communication portion which performs non-contact communication with an information terminal apparatus by using each of the plurality of communication antennas, a content display control portion which displays a content on the display portion; and a communication antenna control portion which performs control to validate one communication antenna of the plurality of communication antennas based on a display position of the content displayed by the content display control portion, in which the information terminal apparatus performs non-contact communication with the validated communication antenna and obtains additional information of the displayed content.

Claims (29)

1. A content display apparatus, comprising:

a display portion which displays a content;

a plurality of communication antennas arranged on the same side as the display portion;

a non-contact communication portion which performs non-contact communication by using each of the plurality of communication antennas;

a content display control portion that is configured to display the content on the display portion; and

a communication antenna control portion that is configured to perform control to validate one communication antenna of the plurality of communication antennas based on a display position of the content displayed by the content display control portion.

2. The content display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the communication antenna control portion performs control to validate a communication antenna included in a display range of the content on the display portion.

3. The content display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the communication antenna control portion performs control to validate a communication antenna that is the most largely included in a display range of the content on the display portion.

4. The content display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

additional information is stored in association with the content, and

the non-contact communication portion performs communication to transmit the additional information.

5. The content display apparatus according to claim 4 , further comprising a content identification information display control portion that is configured to display identification information to the content on the display portion based on the additional information.

6. The content display apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a communication antenna identifiable display control portion that is configured to display a position of the one communication antenna in an identifiable manner when the one communication antenna is validated by the communication antenna control portion.

7. The content display apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising

a touch detection portion which detects a touch operation, wherein

while the non-contact communication is performed by the non-contact communication portion, touch detection by the touch detection portion is invalidated.

8. The content display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein when the one communication antenna which is validated by the communication antenna control portion is not included in the display position of the content, the content display control portion adjusts the display position of the content to include the one communication antenna in the display position of the content.

9. A non-transitory recording medium recorded with a program for causing a computer, mounted in a content display apparatus including a display portion which displays a content; a plurality of communication antennas arranged on the same side as the display portion; and a non-contact communication portion which performs non-contact communication by using each of the plurality of communication antennas, to execute:

a content display step of displaying the content on the display portion; and

a communication antenna control step of performing control to validate one communication antenna of the plurality of communication antennas based on a display position of the content displayed in the content display step.

10. A content providing system, comprising:

a content display apparatus having a display portion which displays a content; and

an information terminal apparatus, wherein

the content display apparatus includes

a plurality of communication antennas arranged on the same side as the display portion;

a non-contact communication portion which performs non-contact communication with the information terminal apparatus by using each of the plurality of communication antennas;

a content display control portion that is configured to display the content on the display portion; and

a communication antenna control portion that is configured to perform control to validate one communication antenna of the plurality of communication antennas based on a display position of the content displayed by the content display control portion, and

the information terminal apparatus performs non-contact communication with the one communication antenna validated by the communication antenna control portion to obtain additional information of the displayed content.
