VIDEO DISPLAY APPARATUS AND VIDEO DISPLAY METHOD
First Claim
1. A video display apparatus comprising:
- first video signal generating means for generating a first video signal;
second video signal generating means for generating a second video signal different from said first video signal;
video signal synthesizing means for synthesizing said first video signal and said second video signal to generate a single synthesized video signal; and
display means for reproducing and displaying any one of said first video signal, said second video signal, and said synthesized video signal,wherein said second video signal generating means includesWeb page obtaining means, connected to a network, for obtaining a Web page through said network,data converting means for converting said Web page into image data,extracting means for extracting a designated area from the Web page converted into the image data,display size setting means for setting a Web page image in said designated area to a designated display size, anddisplay position setting means for setting a display position of the Web page image in said designated area,said video signal synthesizing means generates the synthesized video signal based on said designated display size setting and said display position setting, andsaid second video signal generating means further includesstoring means for holding display information of the Web page obtained by said Web page obtaining means,page update obtaining means for obtaining a new Web page from a supplying source of said Web page every predetermined period,comparing means for comparing the display information of said Web page held in said storing means with display information of said new Web page and discriminating the presence or absence of the updating of said Web page, andupdate notifying means for notifying of said updating when said comparing means determines the presence of the updating.

Abstract
A video display apparatus which can display only an arbitrary area of a Web page in an arbitrary size and at an arbitrary position on a main image. The video display apparatus which forms a single synthesis video image by synthesizing different video images has: Web page obtaining means for obtaining the Web page through a network; data converting means for converting the Web page into image data; extracting means for extracting a designated area from the Web page converted into the image data; display size setting means for setting a Web page image of the designated area to a designated display size; and display position setting means for setting a display position of the Web page image of the designated area, wherein a video signal synthesizing means forms a synthesized video signal on the basis of the designated display size setting and the display position.
