Patent ID: 8798151

Claim:
A video display device that displays a video distributed via broadcast, the video display device comprising: a data extraction section for extracting additional data indicating information regarding a program or regarding a video of the program from a broadcast signal; and a frame interpolation processing section for generating an image of an interpolated frame based on images, of respective frames, represented by video data extracted from the broadcast signal and a content of the additional data, wherein the frame interpolation processing section determines, in accordance with vigorousness of movement between the images of the respective frames estimated based on the content of the additional data, at least a search range of a motion vector to be used for generating the image of the interpolated frame, wherein the data extraction section extracts, as the additional data, area specification data for specifying an area, included in an entire area of images to be displayed on a display device, in which a moving picture is displayed, wherein the frame interpolation processing section executes a calculation process of the motion vector only in the area specified by the area specification data, wherein the area specification data indicates an area, included in the entire area of each of the images to be displayed on the display device, in which each of the images represented by the video data is displayed, and wherein the frame interpolation processing section determines, based on the area specification data, the area in which the calculation process of the motion vector is executed.
