ABSTRACT:
A technology is disclosed to enable a transfer to be made quickly and easily to a screen layout and an audio output mode preferred by a user when there is a change in an input source. Past viewing and listening history information regarding the attribute and the output state of an input source is stored beforehand, for example, which input source was viewed and listened to in what screen and audio structure, or which multi-window displaying a transfer was made to when an interrupt input source came in, depending on a relationship with a video being viewed and listened to at the time. Then, when an image regarding the input source is displayed, a screen layout and an audio output state are determined, and controlled based on the viewing and listening history information.
