主权项

1. A digital broadcast receiver in which a plurality of applications, including a first application and a second application, are configured to operate, the receiver comprising:
a controller configured to set a time for channel selection for a scheduled program display, wherein if either the first application or the second application can use a resource used for the scheduled program display execution in such a manner that the other is excluded from using the resource, the time for channel selection includes a time required for processing with respect to terminating an active application from among the first application and the second application, wherein the controller is configured to
evaluate, before a time for starting execution of processing based on the scheduled program display, whether or not a program is delayed is based on an event information table (EIT)determine an execution start time; andreset the time for channel selection for the scheduled program responsive to a delayed program start time as a result of an evaluation based on the EIT, wherein resetting the time takes processing time for terminating the active application into account.
