Commercial processing apparatus

Abstract

A commercial processing apparatus which can improve an commercial effect and can arbitrarily select a means used for the improvement is provided. The commercial processing apparatus acquires an AV stream by using a tuner (2), a streaming processing unit (3), or a DVD drive (4). A demultiplexer (5) demultiplexes the AV stream to acquire commercial metadata. A web browser (7) acquires a script document in which a procedure for processing the commercial metadata is described. A JavaScript VM (6) interprets the script document acquired by the web browser (7), and performs a process on the commercial metadata demultiplexed and acquired by the demultiplexer (5) according to the description of the script document.
