Title:
DIGITAL SIGNAL RECEPTION TERMINAL EQUIPMENT
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3586082
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To shorten time required for reception and reproduction while reducing procedures by a viewer even when selectively performing limited reception of plural networks.
SOLUTION: In the case of network switching, it is investigated whether an IC card is ejected or not (S41), and when that IC card is not ejected, a designation request of a network registered on that IC card (S45), a judgment of network designation acceptance (S46) and a setting of network designation (S47) are performed. When the IC card is ejected, an insertion of a new IC card is prompted, the insertion of the IC card is detected (S42), an object network is detected (S44) while referring to a system management ID described on the IC card (S43), and execution setting of a processing program for the network to be identified by the network ID is performed based on this detection (S47). Thus, network switching is enabled only by exchanging IC cards and while reducing the burden of a viewer, time required for reception and reproduction can be shortened.
