Abstract
Abstract A data broadcast receiving apparatus used in a system is combined with another transmission line such as telephone circuit. By receiving a television broadcast having a data broadcast signal, such as a teletext signal, superposed on the television broadcast signal, in which a first auxiliary information signal contained in the data broadcast signal and a second auxiliary information signal from the other transmission line are extracted, a control procedure is created responsive to the first and second auxiliary information signals, and the data broadcast signal and main information from the other transmission line are processed responsive to the control procedure.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
123 words
A data broadcast receiving apparatus for receiving a television broadcast signal with a data broadcast signal superposed thereon comprising: a data broadcast decoder unit for extracting the data broadcast signal, a display unit for displaying at least one of the television broadcast signal and the data broadcast signal, and a modem connected to a telephone circuit, wherein decoded data in the data broadcast decoder unit is evaluated to determine whether a valid term is contained therein in addition to a telephone number, and if the valid term is contained in the decoded data, the decoded data is added to a process waiting list, and the decoded data is deleted from the process waiting list if the valid term is evaluated as being expired.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
123 words
