To provide a digital broadcast receiver capable of executing higher value-added functions. [Solution] A broadcast receiving device capable of receiving video data of a digital broadcast program, program linkage data for the digital broadcast program, and screen layout control information for the digital broadcast program includes: a receiving unit that receives the video data of the digital broadcast program, the program linkage data, and the screen layout control information; a video generating unit that divides a video display area of ​​an output video into multiple areas based on the screen layout control information, and arranges, in each of the multiple areas, program video information generated based on the video data of the received digital broadcast program and text information, graphic information, or video information generated based on the received program linkage data, and generates video information obtained by combining the multiple areas as output video information; a display unit that displays the output video information; an operation input unit that inputs user operation instructions; and a control unit.

A portable information terminal includes a controller configured to control a communication interface to transmit a charging permission response to a broadcast receiving apparatus in response to a charging permission request data transmitted when a broadcasting program that a user of the broadcast receiving apparatus desires to view contains an asset that requires charging. The charging permission response is allowed to be transmitted when positional information indicates that the portable information terminal is positioned inside of a predetermined positional range and apparatus identification information in the charging permission request data, by which the broadcast receiving apparatus is allowed to be identified, coincides with apparatus identification information stored in a memory. The controller controls the communication interface to transmit a charging denial response to the broadcast receiving apparatus when the positional information indicates that the portable information terminal is positioned outside of the predetermined positional range.

To provide a broadcast receiving device capable of executing a more added-value high function.SOLUTION: A broadcast receiving device comprises: a reception part that receives a digital broadcast signal containing a first data flow; a communication part 121 that acquires a second data flow corresponded to the first data flow from a server device via a communication circuit; a video image decoding part 141 that decodes a video image data contained in the first data flow and / or a video image data contained in the second data flow and can generate a decoding video image data; and a digital interface 40125 that can output a video image to an external device and can acquires performance information of the external device. In a video image output control state by a digital interface, an output control state that outputs only a decoding video image of the video image data of the first data flow in accordance with the performance information of the external device and a second output control state that outputs both of the video image data of the first data flow and the video image data of the second data flow are included.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 29A
