Abstract: A digital receiver to effect display of at least one of video or a plurality of background information blocks each indicative of a program time period, including: a display change controller provided in the digital receiver, which changes a displayed shape of a particular background information block indicative of a program time period in the grid when the program time period indicated by the particular background information block exceeds a program time period which is displayed in a first prescribed zone; a full display controller controlling display of the program start time and program end time to occur concurrently together with the selected background information block on a same display whenever the selected background information block is selected.

Abstract: A movie data indexing apparatus of the present invention comprises a movie data scene character data input processing unit, a movie data genre decision processing unit, a formatted phrase keyword dictionary input processing unit for inputting a formatted phrase keyword dictionary inherent to the determined movie data genre, a movie data information input processing unit, a movie data inherent dictionary generation processing unit for generating a dictionary inherent to the movie data, a scene character string coding processing unit for encoding a character string for a scene of the movie data, a proposal keyword dictionary for formatted phrase input processing unit for inputting a dictionary prescribing keywords, and a scene indexing processing unit for performing indexing to a scene of the movie data on the basis of the scene character string coded data, the movie data inherent dictionary and the proposal keyword dictionary for formatted phrase.

Abstract: In a video recorder, closed caption sentence data is outputted by analyzing digital broadcasting data including closed caption information. Index data is generated on the basis of a feature extraction rule and the effectiveness of an appearing keyword by analyzing closed caption sentence data. Closed caption feature data including a type of a closed caption sentence and a display time is generated by analyzing a closed caption ES (Elementary Stream). The broadcasting data is stored as record data, the closed caption feature data is analyzed, chapter data for reproducing a program is generated by a chapter designated by the user, and the chapter data is outputted to a storage. In the case of recording and reproducing the digital broadcasting program, it is possible to perform both the reproduction by the optimal index using the closed caption and the reproduction by the keyword voluntarily inputted by the user.

Abstract: A broadcasting and communication receiver apparatus for displaying program-associated information, in which, in addition to a predetermined display zone, another display zone is provided so that display data of specific information selected by a viewer is wholly displayed and, when the display data is displayed as omitted, a symbol indicative of the information omission is attached to the display data to display the display data within the limited display zone. The apparatus comprises a receiver for receiving the program-associated information including a title, start and end times of a broadcast program together with a video signal and an audio signal, a decoder for decoding the program-associated information, a display unit for displaying the decoded program-associated information thereon, a command receiver for receiving an input signal from a remote controller or from a key or keys provided to the receiver, and a display controller for controlling a display screen on the basis of the input signal.
