Video display apparatus, video display method, and computer program product

Abstract

According to one embodiment, a video display apparatus includes: a broadcast data input module; a data input module; a restricting module; and a video processor. The broadcast data input module inputs broadcast contents including first video data. The data input module inputs information including the second video data from an information processor connected via a network. The information complies with a standard different from that of the broadcast contents. The restricting module sets a value related to an item so as to restrict reproduction of the first video data. The video processor restricts, when a value of the item of the first video data input from the broadcast data input module deviates from the value set by the restricting module while the data input module is inactive, reproduction of the first video data, and disables, when the data input module is active, the restriction restricted by the restricting module.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A video display apparatus comprising:
 a first receiver configured to receive broadcast contents comprising first video data;   a second receiver configured to receive information comprising second video data from an information processor connected to the video display apparatus via a network, the information complying with a standard different from that of the broadcast contents; and   a controller configured to execute, upon receipt of the broadcast contents by the first receiver, a first application for displaying the first video data on a display, and to execute, upon receipt of the information by the second receiver, a second application for displaying the second video data on the display, wherein,   upon receipt of the information by the second receiver while executing the first application, the controller is configured to display a notification indicating that the information has been received on the display without executing the second application.   
     
     
         2 . The video display apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising a third receiver configured to receive an operation of a user, wherein,
 while the notification has been displayed on the display, the controller is configured to stop executing the first application upon receipt of a first operation of the user, and to start executing the second application upon receipt of a second operation of the user while stop executing the first application.   
     
     
         3 . A video display method of a video display apparatus, comprising:
 first receiving broadcast contents comprising first video data; second receiving information comprising second video data from an information processor connected to the video display apparatus via a network, the information complying with a standard different from that of the broadcast contents; and   executing, upon receipt of the broadcast contents at the first receiving, a first application for displaying the first video data on a display, and executing, upon receipt of the information at the second receiving, a second application for displaying the second video data on the display, wherein,   upon receipt of the information at the second receiving while executing the first application, a notification indicating that the information has been received is displayed on the display without executing the second application.   
     
     
         4 . The video display method of  claim 3 , further comprising third receiving an operation of a user, wherein
 while the notification has been displayed on the display, the execution of the first application is stopped upon receipt of a first operation of the user, and the execution of the second application is started upon receipt of a second operation of the user while the execution the first application has been stopped.   
     
     
         5 . A computer program product having a non-transitory computer readable medium including programmed instructions, wherein the instructions, when executed by a computer of a video display apparatus, cause the computer to perform:
 first receiving broadcast contents comprising first video data;   second receiving information comprising second video data from an information processor connected to the video display apparatus via a network, the information complying with a standard different from that of the broadcast contents; and   executing, upon receipt of the broadcast contents at the first receiving, a first application for displaying the first video data on a display, and executing, upon receipt of the information at the second receiving, a second application for displaying the second video data on the display, wherein,   upon receipt of the information at the second receiving while executing the first application, a notification indicating that the information has been received is displayed on the display without executing the second application.   
     
     
         6 . The computer program product of  claim 5 , further causes the computer to perform third receiving an operation of a user, wherein
 while the notification has been displayed on the display, the execution of the first application is stopped upon receipt of a first operation of the user, and the execution of the second application is started upon receipt of a second operation of the user while the execution the first application has been stopped.
