Digital broadcast receiver for a digital broadcasting system
First Claim
1. A digital broadcast 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 transmitted by a digital broadcast;
a decoder that decodes the video data, the audio data and the application received by the receiver;
a processor that executes the application received by the receiver;
an input section that receives the input from the user; 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 which identifies an event that can be received by the executing application in the digital broadcast receiver,the event controlling program sends the event corresponding to the user input to the executing application when the receivable event information identifies that the event corresponding to the user input can be received by the executing application,the event controlling program is updated by a memory card medium, that stores updating data, that is interfaced to the digital broadcast receiver.

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.
