1. A content receiving apparatus comprising:
- a network interface receiving first content from a first transmitting apparatus and receiving second content from a second transmitting apparatus; and
a controller selecting the first content based on a user'"'"'s input, from the first content and the second content,wherein the controller increases a first bandwidth of a bandwidth of the network interface, which is allotted to the first transmitting apparatus, and decreases a second bandwidth of the bandwidth of the network interface, which is allotted to the second transmitting apparatus, based on an increased first bandwidth,wherein the first transmitting apparatus and the second transmitting apparatus are independent from each other,wherein the first content is different from the second content,wherein the controller determines a second target transmission rate corresponding to the decreased second bandwidth, and does not decrease the second bandwidth below the determined second target transmission rate, andwherein the determined second target transmission rate is a minimum transmission rate required for the second transmitting apparatus to transmit the second content to the network interface.

Abstract
A content receiving apparatus includes a network interface receiving first content from a first transmitting apparatus and receiving second content from a second transmitting apparatus, and a controller selecting the first content based on a user'"'"'s input, from the first content and the second content, in which the controller increases a first bandwidth of a bandwidth of the network interface, which is allotted to the first transmitting apparatus, and decreases a second bandwidth of the bandwidth of the network interface, which is allotted to the second transmitting apparatus, based on an increased first bandwidth.

8. A content receiving method comprising:
-
receiving first content from a first transmitting apparatus and second content from a second transmitting apparatus through a network interface; selecting the first content based on a user'"'"'s input, from the first content and the second content; and controlling a first bandwidth of a bandwidth of the network interface, which is allotted to the first transmitting apparatus to increase, and a second bandwidth of the bandwidth of the network interface, which is allotted to the second transmitting apparatus, to decrease based on the increased first bandwidth, wherein the first transmitting apparatus and the second transmitting apparatus are independent from each other, wherein the first content is different from the second content, wherein, in the controlling of the first bandwidth and the second bandwidth, a second target transmission rate corresponding to the decreased second bandwidth is determined, and the second bandwidth is not decreased below determined second target transmission rate, and wherein the determined second target transmission rate is a minimum transmission rate required for the second transmitting apparatus to transmit the second content to the network interface. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having embodied thereon a computer program, which when executed by a computer, perform a content receiving method comprising:
-
receiving first content from a first transmitting apparatus and second content from a second transmitting apparatus through a network interface; selecting the first content based on a user'"'"'s input, from the first content and the second content; and controlling a first bandwidth of a bandwidth of the network interface, which is allotted to the first transmitting apparatus to increase, and a second bandwidth of the bandwidth of the network interface, which is allotted to the second transmitting apparatus, to decrease based on the increased first bandwidth, wherein the first transmitting apparatus and the second transmitting apparatus are independent from each other, wherein the first content is different from the second content, wherein, in the controlling of the first bandwidth and the second bandwidth, a second target transmission rate corresponding to the decreased second bandwidth is determined, and the second bandwidth is not decreased below the determined second target transmission rate, and wherein the determined second target transmission rate is a minimum transmission rate required for the second transmitting apparatus to transmit the second content to the network interface. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)
