DATA PROCESSING UNIT FACILITATING DATA SELECTION AND/OR PROCESSING OF DATA, AND DATA PROCESSING METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a data processing unit that can enhance the operability by displaying an operation menu in response to contents of displayed document data. SOLUTION: A document storage section 104 stores data sent from a broadcast station together with its contents information. An entry operation section 108 accepts the operation from a user. An input signal reception section 109 gives an instruction in response to the operation to a control section 110, the control section 110 instructs a display control section 112 to display a document, a menu generating section 111 to generate the operation menu, and an operation execution section 106 to perform an operation respectively. The display control section 112 reads data from the document storage section 104 and allows the display section 103 to display the data. The menu generating section 111 reads the menu information stored in a menu information storage section 105 in pairs with the contents information of the data that are displayed to generate the operation menu. The display control section 112 allows the display section 103 to additionally display the generated operation menu. The operation execution section 106 performs the operation of the menu item in the operation menu selection state.
