Publication number: 20100110286Abstract: A display apparatus includes a receiving unit, which is configured to receive video data, caption data, and program information data, a first on-screen unit, which is configured to display a caption, upon a basis of a second on-screen unit, which is configured to display program information, a format converting unit, and a display unit. When a video on which a caption is displayed is displayed by the display unit, a picture format of a caption is converted by the format converting unit in accordance with conversion of a picture format of a video, and when a video on which program information is displayed by the display unit, a picture format of a program information is not converted.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 29, 2009Publication date: May 6, 2010Inventors: Masuo Oku, Hironori Komi, Keisuke Inata, Ryosuke Toya, Kenji Katsumata, Shigeru Komatsu, Shinobu Torikoshi, Takaaki Matono, Fumihito Tanaka, Masaaki Hisanaga

Patent number: 7643089Abstract: A decoder apparatus which includes a de-multiplexer, which is configured to divide motion picture data from a transport stream, a video decoder, which is configured to decode the divided motion picture data, and a first re-formatter on-screen unit, which is configured to display motion picture data and at least one of first and second graphic data on a screen. The first re-formatter on-screen unit converts motion picture data of a first aspect ratio, which is decoded by the video decoder, and first graphics data, which is produced by applying information relating to a caption corresponding to the motion picture data, into a second aspect ratio, when outputting the motion picture data of the first aspect ratio after conversion into the second aspect ratio, without converting the aspect ratio of second graphic data, which is produced by applying information relating to a program guide.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2008Date of Patent: January 5, 2010Assignees: Hitachi, Ltd., Hitachi ULSI Systems Co., Ltd.Inventors: Masuo Oku, Hironori Komi, Keisuke Inata, Ryosuke Toya, Kenji Katsumata, Shigeru Komatsu, Shinobu Torikoshi, Takaaki Matono, Fumihito Tanaka, Masaaki Hisanaga

Patent number: 7375761Abstract: A receiver includes a motion picture data decoder which decodes motion picture data to obtain decoded motion picture data, a memory which stores the decoded motion picture data, a video processing unit which mixes the decoded motion picture data with first graphics data and converts the motion picture data to obtain first on-screen data mixed and first format-converted motion picture data, and a second on-screen data multiplexer which mixes the decoded motion picture data with second graphics data to obtain second on-screen data-mixed motion picture data. A first output device outputs the first on-screen data mixed and first format-converted motion picture data, a second output device outputs the second on-screen data mixed motion picture data.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2004Date of Patent: May 20, 2008Assignees: Hitachi, Ltd., Hitachi ULSI Systems Co., Ltd.Inventors: Masuo Oku, Hironori Komi, Keisuke Inata, Ryosuke Toya, Kenji Katsumata, Shigeru Komatsu, Shinobu Torikoshi, Takaaki Matono, Fumihito Tanaka, Masaaki Hisanaga
