Digital broadcasting receiver for a digital broadcasting system
First Claim
1. A digital broadcasting receiver that sends an event corresponding to an input from a user to an application, comprising:
- a receiver that receives video data, audio data, and the application via a transmitted digital broadcast;
a decoder that decodes the video data and the audio data received by said receiver;
a processing section that executes the application received by said receiver;
an input section that receives the user input; and
an event controlling program that sends the event corresponding to the user input to the executing application;
wherein the executing application registers receivable event information in said digital broadcasting receiver that identifies an event corresponding to the user input received by said input section that can be received by the executing application, and said event controlling program sends the event corresponding to the user input received by said input section to the executing application when the receivable event information identifies that the event corresponding to the user input received by said input section can be received by the executing application.

Abstract
To provide a device capable of determining a delivery destination of an event automatically without requiring choosing operation of an operator. An event entered through an event input means 4 is given to a delivery destination determining means 6 which in turn determines to which of applications AP1, AP2, . . . , APn the given event is to be delivered according to the contents of the event and according to delivery destination determining information stored in a delivery destination determining information storing section, and delivers accordingly. Therefore, the event is delivered to an appropriate application even if the operator does not choose an addressed application.
