Abstract
According to one embodiment, a broadcast receiver has a receiving module, a display controller and an output module. The output module is configured to output, when a first display module changes from a first state where a first video image is displayed to a second state where a second video image is displayed, first instruction to at least a first information processor configured to switch a second display module of the first information processor from a third state where first content is displayed to a fourth state where second content is displayed and configured to maintain a third display module of a second information processor in the third state. The first and second content are based upon the first and second video images, respectively.
Claims5
A broadcast receiver comprising:
- a receiving module configured to receive broadcast waves;
- a display controller configured to output display data causing a first display module to display a video image based upon the broadcast waves;
- and
- an output module configured to output, when the first display module changes from a first state where a first video image is displayed to a second state where a second video image is displayed, first instruction to at least a first information processor configured to switch a second display module of the first information processor from a third state where first content is displayed to a fourth state where second content is displayed and configured to maintain a third display module of a second information processor in the third state, the first and the second information processors being coupled to the broadcast receiver, the first and second content based upon the first and second video images, respectively.
A broadcast receiver comprising:
- a receiving module configured to receive broadcast waves;
- a display controller configured to output display data causing a first display module to display a video image based upon the broadcast waves;
- and
- an output module configured to output, when the first display module changes from a first state where a first video image is displayed to a second state where a second video image is displayed, instruction to an information processor configured to cause the information processor to control a second display module of the information processor so that the second display switches from a third state where first content is displayed to a fourth state where second content is displayed or the second display maintains the third state, the information processor being couples to the broadcast receiver, the first and second content based upon the first and second video images, respectively.
A computer program product having a non-transitory computer readable medium including programmed instructions, wherein the instructions, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform:
- acquiring first data indicating that a first display module of a broadcast receiver changes from a first state where a first video image is displayed to a second state where a second video image is displayed;
- and
- controlling, when an information processor acquires the first data, a second display module of the information processor in accordance with second data stored in the information processor configured to switch the second display module from a third state where first content is displayed to a fourth state where second content is displayed or configured to maintain the second display module in the third state, the first and second content based upon the first and second video images, respectively.
