Patent ID: 8584179

Claim:
An information output apparatus, comprising: a first interface to receive an equipment operational signal from a short-range wireless communication apparatus; a second interface to receive broadcast wave data based on the equipment operational signal; a third interface transmit the equipment operational signal to an information generating apparatus; a fourth interface to receive video data transmitted from the information generating apparatus; a fifth interface to receive a control command transmitted from the information generating apparatus in response to the equipment operational signal transmitted from the third interface part; an information superimposing part to transmit the equipment operational signal from the third interface part to the information generating apparatus and then to superimpose video data updated by the information generating apparatus and received from the fourth interface part with the broadcast wave data to display the superimposed data on a display part; a first connection establishing part to establish a connection for transmitting the equipment operational signal to the information generating apparatus via the third interface part; a second connection establishing part to establish a connection for receiving video data via the fourth interface part; a third connection establishing part to establish a connection for receiving the control instruction transmitted from the information generating apparatus; a control command executing part to execute the control command received via the fifth interface part; and a connection managing part to confirm that the first, second and third connection establishing parts establish connections with the same information generating apparatus.
