## Abstract

A contents receiving system can include a content receiver and a portable terminal storing ID information. The content receiver can further include: a receiving unit capable of receiving content and subsidiary content from at least one of a broadcast wave and a network; an output unit capable of outputting, as audio video content, a video and/or audio of the content received by the receiving unit; a transmission unit capable of transmitting the subsidiary content to the portable terminal, the transmission unit enabling information on a payment transaction corresponding to an ID information of the portable terminal to be transmitted to the portable terminal individually, the portable terminal including: a second transmission unit capable of receiving the subsidiary content and the information on the payment transaction transmitted from the transmission unit of the content receiver; and a processing unit for performing a processing regarding the payment transaction.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A contents receiving system comprising:
a content receiver; and
a portable terminal storing ID information with which its user can be distinguished from other users of other portable terminals,
the content receiver including:
a receiving unit capable of receiving content and subsidiary content from at least one of a broadcast wave and a network;
an output unit capable of outputting, as audio video content, a video and/or audio of the content received by the receiving unit;
a transmission unit capable of transmitting the subsidiary content to the portable terminal, the transmission unit enabling information on a payment transaction corresponding to an ID information of the portable terminal to be transmitted to the portable terminal individually,
the portable terminal including:
a second transmission unit capable of receiving the subsidiary content and the information on the payment transaction transmitted from the transmission unit of the content receiver; and
a processing unit for performing a processing regarding the payment transaction of the content by use of the information on the payment transaction received at the second transmission unit.
