Abstract
1. A multi-media receiving device, comprising a contents input unit that receives contents data input from multiple connected external devices, a contents transmission unit that transmits input contents data to a terminal device, a storing unit that stores multiple application programs corresponding to the types of multiple connected devices, and an application transmission unit that transmits an application program, selected from the multiple application programs, based on the types of multiple connected external devices, to the terminal device. The application transmission unit transmits an application program to the aforementioned terminal device, the program being selected from the multiple application programs based on the type of the recording/playback device that is supplying the contents data to the contents input unit, thereby providing an environment wherein various operations can be performed with portable equipment while the user is viewing and listening to contents.
