Abstract
The present invention provides a receiving apparatus for receiving digital broadcast having a plurality of channels including a transition unit configured to transit a mode for controlling channel selection from a normal mode to a warning mode in the case that a determining unit determines that the broadcasting program is allowed to obtain a right to receive a reward, and a notifying unit configured to notify, in the warning mode, that the right to receive the reward will be lost, in the case that a detecting unit detects a channel selection operation that selects another channel from the viewing channel broadcasting a broadcast program which is allowed to obtain the right to receive the reward.
Claims15
A receiving apparatus for receiving digital broadcast having a plurality of channels comprising:
- a detecting unit configured to detect a channel selection operation that conducts channel selection;
- a determining unit configured to determine whether or not the viewing state of a viewer satisfies a predetermined viewing condition of a broadcasting broadcast program so that the viewer of the broadcast program is able to obtain a right to receive a reward;
- a transition unit configured to transit a mode for controlling channel selection from a normal mode to a warning mode in the case that the determining unit determines that the broadcasting program is allowed to obtain the right to receive the reward;
- and
- a notifying unit configured to notify, in the warning mode, that the right to receive the reward will be lost, in the case that the detecting unit detects a channel selection operation that selects another channel from the viewing channel broadcasting a broadcast program which is allowed to obtain the right to receive the reward.
A receiving apparatus for receiving digital broadcast having a plurality of channels comprising:
- a recording control unit configured to record a designated broadcast program, as well as playback or stop the recorded broadcast program;
- a detecting unit configured to detect a stop operation that stops a playback of the recorded broadcast program;
- a determining unit configured to determine whether or not the viewing state of a viewer satisfies a predetermined viewing condition of the recorded broadcast program so that the viewer of the recorded broadcast program is able to obtain a right to receive a reward;
- a transition unit configured to transit a mode for controlling playback of the recorded broadcast program from a normal mode to a warning mode in the case that the determining unit determines that the recorded broadcasting program is allowed to obtain the right to receive the reward;
- and
- a notifying unit configured to notify, in the warning mode, that the right to receive the reward will be lost, in the case that the detecting unit detects the stop operation that stops the playback of the recorded broadcast program while playing back the recorded broadcast program.
A receiving apparatus for receiving a digital broadcast having a plurality of channels comprising:
- a detecting unit configured to detect a channel selection operation that conducts channel selection;
- a determining unit configured to determine whether or not the viewing state of a viewer satisfies a predetermined viewing condition of a broadcasting broadcast program so that the viewer of the broadcast program is able to obtain a right to receive a reward;
- a notifying unit configured to notify that the right to receive the reward will be lost, in the case that the detecting unit detects a channel selection operation that selects another channel from the viewing channel broadcasting a broadcast program which is allowed to obtain the right to receive the reward.
A controlling method of a receiving apparatus for receiving digital broadcast having a plurality of channels comprising:
- a detecting step for detecting a channel selection operation that conducts channel selection;
- a determining step for determining whether or not the viewing state of a viewer satisfies a predetermined viewing condition of a broadcasting broadcast program so that the viewer of the broadcast program is able to obtain a right to receive a reward;
- a transition step for transiting a mode for controlling channel selection from a normal mode to a warning mode in the case that the determining unit determines that the broadcasting program is allowed to obtain the right to receive the reward;
- and
- a notifying step for notifying, in the warning mode, that the right to receive the reward will be lost, in the case that the detecting unit detects a channel selection operation that selects another channel from the viewing channel broadcasting a broadcast program which is allowed to obtain the right to receive the reward.
A controlling method of a receiving apparatus for receiving digital broadcast having a plurality of channels comprising:
- a recording-control step for recording a designated broadcast program, as well as playing back or stopping the recorded broadcast program;
- a detecting step for detecting a stop operation that stops a playback of the recorded broadcast program;
- a determining step for determining whether or not the viewing state of a viewer satisfies a predetermined viewing condition of the recorded broadcast program so that the viewer of the recorded broadcast program is able to obtain a right to receive a reward;
- a transition step for transiting a mode for controlling playback of the recorded broadcast program from a normal mode to a warning mode in the case that the determining step determines that the recorded broadcasting program is allowed to obtain the right to receive the reward;
- and
- a notifying step for notifying, in the warning mode, that the right to receive the reward will be lost, in the case that the detecting unit detects the stop operation that stops the playback of the recorded broadcast program while playing back the recorded broadcast program.
