Patent ID: 7590995

Claim:
An EPG display apparatus comprising: storage means of storing three-dimensional EPG data obtained by mapping all or part of two-dimensional EPG data on a surface of a cylinder-like shape in a virtual three-dimensional space, and control means of displaying all or part of said three-dimensional EPG data stored in said storage means on a display screen, wherein when said control means displays said three-dimensional EPG data on said display screen, said control means (i) reverses three-dimensional EPG data which are mapped on a rear face of said cylinder-like shape and (ii) disposes at least a portion of said three-dimensional EPG data on at least one of a right-hand side and a left-hand side of said cylinder-like shape, except that for the three-dimensional EPG data of each channel data disposed on the right-hand side and left-hand side of said cylinder-like shape, a part of said EPG data of said each channel data is displayed at a position corresponding to a front face of said cylinder-like shape and a rest of said EPG data of said each channel data is displayed at a position corresponding to said rear face.
