Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A digital broadcast receiving apparatus includes a receiving unit configured to receive a digital broadcast signal in which predetermined data is transmitted repeatedly. A transmission time estimating unit estimates a transmission time for transmitting data per transmission unit, by analyzing separation information contained in the digital broadcast signal where the separation information describes a time for the transmission unit of data corresponding to the predetermined data. A determining unit determines whether content of the predetermined data has been updated for each data reception starting time after the transmission time has been estimated. If the content has not been updated, the control unit inhibits reception processing by the receiving unit for a predetermined period of time based on the estimated transmission time, and if the content has been updated, the control unit permits the reception processing by the receiving unit.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A digital broadcast receiving apparatus comprising: a receiving unit having a first tuner and a second tuner; the first tuner configured to receive a first digital broadcast signal having media content, the media content operatively output to a speaker; the second tuner configured to receive a second digital broadcast signal in which predetermined data is transmitted repeatedly, the second tuner storing portions of data corresponding to the digital broad…
