An image data processing apparatus includes a processing unit that detects an attribute of image data input. The image data processing apparatus also includes a network interface that receives content data from an external section. When the processing unit detects that the image data is contained in a predetermined location of the content data, the processing unit processes, based on the attribute detected and in accordance with an aspect ratio of a display section where the image data is to be displayed, the image data such that a horizontal to vertical ratio of the image data is kept when the image data is displayed on the display section.
An image data processing apparatus, comprising:
An image data processing method implemented by an image data processing apparatus, the image data processing method comprising:
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium encoded with an image data processing program, the image data processing program, when executed by a computer, causing the computer to execute a method, comprising:

The present invention relates to an image data processing apparatus, and is preferably applied to an image display device that displays, based on image data supplied from outside, an image, for example.
In the field of this kind of image display device, various types of image display devices with different aspect ratios are here to stay, such as an image display device capable of displaying an image in aspect ratio of 4:3 and an image display device capable of displaying an image in aspect ratio of 16:9.
For example, there are two types of image display devices: an image display device (also referred to as a first image display device) having a display section DP10 (FIG. 22B) capable of displaying an image in aspect ratio of 3:2 (720×480 pixels); and an image display device (also referred to as a second display device) having a display section DP20 (FIG. 22B) capable of displaying an image in aspect ratio of 8:6 (640×480 pixels).
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the overall configuration of a music related service provision system in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the hardware configuration of a client terminal using functional circuit blocks.
FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram showing a directory structure.
An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
(1-1) Configuration of the System
Referring to FIG. 1, the reference numeral 1 represents a music related service provision system as a whole. The music related service provision system 1 includes a client terminal 2 whose user has contracted with a company operating the music related service provision system 1; a portal server 3, which controls the client terminal 2; and a plurality of servers SV1 through SV5, which provides the client terminal 2 with various services related to music.
