Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A digital broadcasting reception apparatus ( 100 ) is provided with: a reception unit ( 111, 121 ) that receives a signal; a signal strength detection unit ( 112, 122 ) that detects the received strength of the received signal; a channel scan control unit ( 125 ) that detects receivable physical channels; an area map storage unit ( 129 ) that stores coverage area information indicating coverage areas; a current position detection unit ( 127 ) that detects the current position; a tuning control unit ( 118 ) that determines a distance threshold value on the basis of the received strength detected by the signal strength detection unit when the channel scan control unit ( 125 ) detects a physical channel and the current position, at which the detection was made, is not included within the coverage area of the detected physical channel; and an area map generating unit ( 128 ) that expands the coverage area on the basis of the determined distance threshold value.
First claim
