In-vehicle digital broadcast reception apparatus
First Claim
1. A digital broadcast reception apparatus for receiving a digital broadcast containing image information for an input operation, wherein the image information accepts the input operation of a user, provides broadcast information reflecting the input operation result, and is prepared to presume that the user operates a key of a remote control having a predetermined function, the digital broadcast reception apparatus comprising:
- a touch panel for enabling the user to touch a surface of the touch panel for performing the input operation;
a display unit for displaying the image information for the input operation;
an analysis unit for analyzing an operation concerning the remote control contained in the image information for the input operation and pseudo-assigning a function of the input operation to the remote control to a touch operation area of the touch panel on the basis of the analysis result; and
a control unit being responsive to the touch operation to the touch panel, the control unit for making a response corresponding to the pseudo input operation to the remote control in response to the touched area of the touch panel according to the assignment of the analysis unit.

Abstract
A display and a touch panel can replace operation of a remote control. Conversion/management analyzes BML description for realizing the software remote control function corresponding to operation of a special key of the remote control on display with a BML browser and makes function assignment of the touch panel. When event elements are crowded, the proximity of the specified position is once enlarged for preventing erroneous operation from occurring.
