Abstract:
The present technology relates to a receiver for efficiently acquiring a component configuring a service, a reception method, a transmitter, and a transmission method. The receiver acquires first signaling data distributed on a broadcast wave of digital broadcasting in an IP transmission system, acquires broadcast signaling data as second signaling data, acquires communication signaling data as the second signaling data when flag information included in the broadcast signaling data indicates that the communication signaling data is provided from a server over the Internet together with the broadcast signaling data, and connects to a stream of a broadcast component or a stream of a communication component thereby to control reproduction of the component on the basis of at least one of the broadcast signaling data and the communication signaling data. The present technology is applicable to TV receivers, for example.
Abstract:
The present technology relates to a reception apparatus, a reception method, a transmission apparatus, and a transmission method which can use binary format signaling data and text format signaling data in combination. There is provided a reception apparatus including a first acquisition unit which acquires, preceding text format second signaling data to be transmitted in a lower-level layer than an IP layer in a hierarchy of a protocol of an IP transmission system and containing control information independent of a service identified by an IP address, binary format first signaling data containing a flag indicating whether the second signaling data exists in digital broadcast using the IP transmission system, a second acquisition unit which acquires the second signaling data on the basis of the first signaling data, and a control unit which controls operation of the units which perform various types of processing on the basis of the second signaling data. The present technology can be applied to, for example, a television receiver.
Abstract:
The present technology relates to a reception apparatus, a reception method, a transmission apparatus, and a transmission method, by which efficient filtering processing can be performed. Provided is a reception apparatus, including: a reception unit that receives a broadcast wave of digital broadcasting using an IP (Internet Protocol) transmission system; and a filtering processing unit that performs filtering processing on a packet by using filtering information, the filtering information being provided in a header of the packet, the packet being transmitted in a baseband stream in a first layer via the broadcast wave, the first layer being lower than an IP layer in a hierarchy of a protocol of the IP transmission system. The present technology is applicable to a television receiver, for example.
Abstract:
The present technology relates to a reproduction apparatus, a reproduction method, and a program that are configured to provide application programs that are executed in operative connection with content provided by a VOD service. An analysis block obtains and analyzes a reproduction control meta file for controlling the reproduction of distribution content. A streaming reproduction processing block executes the streaming reproduction of the distribution content in accordance with an analysis result of the reproduction control meta file. A control block controls an application engine in accordance with information associated with a VOD application described in the reproduction control meta file, thereby controlling an operation of the VOD application that is executed in operative connection with the distribution content being reproduced. The present technology is applicable to digital television receivers for receiving digital television broadcast signals, for example.
Abstract:
The present technique relates to a receiving device that can promptly present receivable one-segment broadcasts, a receiving method, and a program. Station information acquiring units (111 through 113) acquire area broadcast information about stations that transmit broadcast waves of arbitrary one-segment broadcasting through arbitrary segments. Using the area broadcast information, a station selecting unit (117) selects stations of one-segment broadcasts receivable at a predetermined location as selectable stations that can be selected by tuning. A tuning control unit (118) performs tuning control to select a one-segment broadcast of a selectable station. The present invention can be applied to mobile one-segment broadcast receiving terminals, for example.
Abstract:
There is provided a reception device configured to receive content broadcast via a broadcasting network, the reception device including an application execution unit configured to execute a link application that is able to change a layout of a screen with reference to a video of the received content, and an application control unit configured to control the application execution unit based on application control information relating to the link application so that activation of the link application is restricted.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a reception apparatus, a reception method, and a program capable of preventing any process not intended by a user from being performed where a data broadcast service is implemented through transitions of documents. The reception apparatus acquires a description document described in a predetermined computer language for displaying a type of content different from AV content; determines whether the acquired description document is managed by a broadcasting organization broadcasting the AV content or by a business operator other than the broadcasting organization; and controls execution of the acquired description document in accordance with the result of the determination. This technology may be applied when data broadcasting is implemented in the United States for example.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a receiving device, a receiving method, and a program that can promptly present receivable one-seg broadcast to the user so that the user may easily discovers the user's desired broadcast. A station information acquiring unit (111) acquires station information including broadcasting area information on a broadcasting area capable of receiving a broadcast wave from a station which broadcasts arbitrary one-seg broadcast through an arbitrary segment, and a registering unit (114) causes only station information requested to be registered by the user to be stored in a storage unit (115). A station selecting unit (117) selects a station that broadcasts one-seg broadcast receivable at a predetermined position as a channel-selectable station whose channels are selectable by using the broadcasting area information included in the station information stored in the storage unit (115), and a channel selection control unit (118) carries out channel selection control of selecting the one-seg broadcast of the channel-selectable station. The present invention is applicable to a portable one-seg broadcast receiving terminal, for example.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a transmitting apparatus and transmitting method as well as a receiving apparatus and receiving method configured to be able to recognize only channel selection information for digital broadcasting that is viewable at the receiving end. A communication unit 79 transmits a viewing license and channel selection information to a receiving apparatus that receives digital broadcasting. The viewing license includes a license expiration date given as terms of use for content of digital broadcasting, and a scramble key for unlocking scrambling applied to content. The channel selection information is information related to digital broadcasting channel selection. The present invention can be applied to a server that communicates with a receiving terminal which receives digital broadcasting, for example.
