Abstract

A terminal apparatus having a function of remotely controlling a video display apparatus includes a communication unit that transmits a command related to setting of the video display apparatus and receives status information, a signal receiving unit that receives a signal output from a broadcast station and decodes a video content, a memory unit that stores a content of a command including a channel of the video content, and a display unit that displays the video content and various types of information. In this terminal apparatus, the communication unit transmits an identification code specific to the terminal apparatus when transmitting the command, and when the status information is received after a channel of the video display apparatus is set by remote control, the video content of the channel stored in the memory unit is decoded by the signal receiving unit and is displayed on the display unit.

Claims (11)

1 . A mobile terminal configured to remotely control a video display apparatus, the mobile terminal comprising:

network interface circuitry configured to transmit a command for controlling the video display apparatus and receive status information, and receive a signal containing a video content via a network;

a decoder configured to decode the video content;

a storage configured to store information;

a display configured to display the decoded video content; and

a processor configured to control so as to:

transmit an identification code unique to the mobile terminal when the network interface circuitry transmits a command to switch the video content displayed on the video display apparatus into a first video content by remote control, and store video content information of the first video content in the storage; and

in a case where the network interface circuitry receives a notification indicating that the first video content has terminated from the video display apparatus as the status information after the first video content displayed on the video display apparatus is switched into a second video content by remote control from another mobile terminal, receive the first video content by the network interface circuitry on a basis of the video content information stored in the storage, and decode the video content by the decoder to cause the display to display the decoded video content.

2 . The mobile terminal according to claim 1 ,

wherein the storage is further configured to store a video content, and

wherein the processor is further configured to control, in a case where the network interface circuitry receives the notification indicating that the first video content has terminated from the video display apparatus as the status information, so as to receive the first video content by the network interface circuitry on the basis of the video content information stored in the storage, and store the first video content in the storage.
