Abstract

A communication apparatus including multiplexed data receiving unit that receives multiplexed data including at least audio data, an extracting unit that extracts the audio data from the multiplexed data, a telephone unit that transmits/receives telephone audio data, and an audio output unit that outputs at least one of the extracted audio data and the telephone audio data. The telephone unit continues to transmit/receive the telephone audio data when an occurrence of an initiating event of the multiplexed data receiving unit is detected while the telephone audio data is being received. The audio output unit outputs the telephone audio data when the occurrence of the initiating event is detected while the telephone audio data is being received. The multiplexed data receiving unit initiates receiving the multiplexed data when the occurrence of the initiating event is detected while the telephone audio is being received.

Dependent claims

A communication apparatus comprising:

An extracting unit that extracts video data, text data and audio data from multiplexed data received by the extracting unit;
a telephone unit that transmits/receives telephone audio data;
an audio output unit that outputs at least one of the audio data extracted by the extracting unit and the telephone audio data received by the telephone unit;
a display output unit configured to display the at least one of the video data and the text data from the extracting unit;
and
an event analysis processing unit that detects an initiating event and whether or not the telephone unit currently transmits or receives the telephone audio data, wherein the event analysis processing unit instructs the telephone unit to continue to transmit/receive the telephone audio data, instructs the extracting unit to initiate receiving the multiplexed data, to begin extracting video data and text data and to stop extracting audio data instructs the audio output unit to output the telephone audio data path in place of the audio data extracted by the extracting unit, and instructs the display output unit to output both the video data and the text data in the form of a caption when detecting an occurrence of an initiating event of the extracting unit starting reception of the multiplexed data is while the telephone audio data is being received by the telephone unit.
