Abstract: This technique relates to a receiving device, a receiving method, a providing device, a providing method, a program and a broadcasting system that can notify the receiving side of control information such as the timing to synchronize an application program with progress of a show without using a television broadcast signal. When the application control type written in the application control descriptor is 3, the receiving device acquires application control data from a server, and, for example, acquires and starts a new information service application in accordance with the segment data forming the application control data. When an external device is designated as the command destination device, the receiving device generates a command for the external device, and outputs the command to the external device. In accordance with the command from the receiving device, the external device, for example, acquires and starts the new information service application. This disclosure can be applied in a case where the receiving device is controlled from the broadcasting side.

Abstract: The present technology relates to an information processing device, an information processing method, and a program that can ensure content-related application programs can be reliably utilized. A client 11 reproduces content distributed from a content server 12 via a network 21, and if the content being reproduced is identified by an ACR server 13, a T/SS for managing an application relating to the identified content is acquired from a T/SS server 14, a predetermined application distributed from an application server 15 is acquired on the basis of the T/SS acquired, and the activation and so on of that application is managed, and the application can therefore be reliably utilized. The present technology can, for example, be applied to a content distribution system that distributes content and content-linked applications.

Abstract: [Object]To provide an information processing apparatus capable of using an application seamlessly executable across channels of different broadcast stations.[Solving Means]Identification information “common” that is common to all business operators can be set as an organization ID for specifying a business operator providing an application. In addition, when the common identification information “common” is set as an organization ID of an acquired XML-AIT, an application controller (508) does not judge that an activation of an application corresponding to the XML-AIT is unpermitted based on the organization ID. Accordingly, it becomes possible to use an application seamlessly executable across channels of different broadcast stations, such as an application for a rating survey.
