Abstract
In a digital contents receiver for receiving transmitted digital contents, the digital contents include at least component information indicating an element which constitutes a program of the contents. When the component information indicates that the received digital contents are a 3D component, it is determined whether a display part corresponds to display of the 3D component. If the display part corresponds to display of the 3D component, the received digital contents are displayed in 3D.

A display apparatus comprising:
- a network interface configured to receive video content and content information including information which identifies whether video content to be transmitted via network for next viewing by a viewer includes 3D video content or not;
- a video processing unit configured to conduct video processing of video content, and
- a display unit configured to display video content in 3D view or in 2D view,
- wherein, in case that the received content information indicates that the video content to be transmitted for next viewing includes 3D video content, the display unit is configured to display an indication indicating the video content to be transmitted for next viewing includes 3D video content, and requesting viewer-determination of whether the video content to be transmitted for next viewing is to be displayed in 3D view or not, and the video processing unit configured to conduct 3D video processing of the video content to be viewed next in accordance with the viewer-determination.
A video processing method comprising:
- receiving content information including information which identifies whether a video content to be transmitted via network for next viewing by a viewer includes a 3D video content or not;
- displaying an indication informing the video content to be transmitted for next viewing includes a 3D video content, and requesting viewer-determination of whether the video content to be transmitted for next viewing is to be displayed in 3D view or not, in a case that the content information indicating that the video content to be transmitted for next viewing includes a 3D video content;
- and
- receiving an operation instruction signal responding to the viewer-determination;
- and
- displaying the video content processed by video processing in accordance with the operation instruction signal.
A video processing method in an display apparatus which displays video content on a display unit, the video processing method comprising:
- receiving content information including information which identifies whether a video content to be transmitted via network for next viewing by a viewer includes 3D video content or not and information which identifies a 3D method of the video content;
- displaying an indication indicating the video content to be transmitted for next viewing includes 3D video content, and requesting viewer-determination of whether the video content to be transmitted for next viewing is to be displayed in 3D view or not, in a case that the content information indicating that the video content to be transmitted for next viewing includes 3D video content;
- receiving an operation instruction signal responding to the viewer-determination;
- and
- displaying the video content processed by 3D video processing, if the operation instruction signal instructing the video content to be viewed in 3D view and the display unit is capable of displaying a 3D video content by a 3D method identified in the content information.
A content outputting apparatus comprising:
- a network interface configured to receive video content and content information including information which identifies whether video content to be transmitted via network for next viewing by a viewer includes three-dimensional video content;
- a video processing unit configured to change video processing of video content, and
- an outputting unit configured to output video content in three-dimensional viewing format or in two-dimensional viewing format, wherein,
- in response to determining that the received content information indicates that the video content to be transmitted for next viewing includes three-dimensional video content, the outputting unit is configured to output indication information indicating the video content to be transmitted for next viewing includes three-dimensional video content, and requesting viewer-determination of whether the video content to be transmitted for next viewing is to be viewed in three-dimensional view or not, and
- the video processing unit configured to conduct 3D video processing of the video content to be viewed next according to the viewer-determination.
A video processing method comprising:
- receiving content information including information which identifies whether a video content to be transmitted via network for next viewing includes a three-dimensional video content;
- outputting indication information informing the video content to be transmitted for next viewing includes a three-dimensional video content, and
- requesting viewer-determination of whether the video content to be transmitted for next viewing is to be viewed in three-dimensional view or not, upon determining that the content information indicating that the video content to be transmitted for next viewing includes a three-dimensional video content;
- receiving an operation instruction command corresponding to the viewer-determination;
- and
- outputting the video content that is processed according to the operation instruction command.
A video processing method in an outputting apparatus which outputs video content to a display, the video processing method comprising:
- receiving content information including information which identifies whether video content to be transmitted via network for next viewing by a viewer includes three-dimensional video content and information which identifies a three-dimensional method of the video content;
- outputting indication information indicating the video content to be transmitted for next viewing includes three-dimensional video content, and requesting viewer-determination of whether the video content to be transmitted for next viewing is to be viewed in three-dimensional view or not, upon determining that the content information indicating that the video content to be transmitted for next viewing includes three-dimensional video content;
- receiving an operation instruction command corresponding to the viewer-determination;
- and
- outputting the video content processed by three-dimensional video processing, upon determining that the operation instruction command instructing the video content to be viewed in three-dimensional view and that the display, to which the video content is to be outputted from the outputting unit, is capable of displaying a three-dimensional method identified in the content information.
