Patent ID: 8248478

Claim:
A receiver comprising: a band detection unit that detects a frequency band within which the receiver can be connected to a transmitter by radio; a quality detection unit that detects transmission quality level of video data, which is transmitted from the transmitter, using the frequency band detected by the band detection unit; and a notification unit that provides a notification for a user as to whether or not a current position of the receiver enables detection of the frequency band within which the receiver can be connected to the transmitter by radio and the transmission quality level to be higher than a predetermined threshold, so as to notify the user if the current position of the receiver is acceptable or not, in which when the notification indicates that the current position of the receiver is unacceptable the notification indicates (i) a cause as to why the current position of the receiver is unacceptable or (ii) a countermeasure to change an unacceptable condition to an acceptable condition.
