Title:
ネットワークで装置に関連するコンテンツ情報の動的表示を提供する方法及び装置
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2007511181
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
A television apparatus is operable to display table of content information from one or more peripheral devices interconnected to the television apparatus via a digital serial bus regardless of whether the television apparatus is currently tuned to the peripheral device. Particularly, table of content information is provided on a per peripheral device basis upon user request. The present invention allows the user to move through tracks of the displayed table of contents and play them, delete them, etc. The user will also be able to cycle through serial bus peripheral devices through the use of an input key on the remote, offering him easy access to multiple tables of contents, and giving the user an easy way to find a desired track. If the user has reached the last serial bus peripheral device in the serial bus list and attempts to input again, the display is wrapped back around to the first serial bus peripheral device. This is useful for allowing the user to start in the middle of the serial bus peripheral device list, as is the case when the user opens the menu when the television apparatus is already using the digital serial bus peripheral device as a current source input.
