Abstract: Provided is a configuration that permits confirmation of emergency information viewing results on a reception apparatus, an endpoint of emergency information such as TV. A data processing section of a reception apparatus such as TV that receives and outputs emergency information generates an emergency information viewing result report that contains a record of emergency information viewing result information and sends the generated emergency information viewing result report to a management server and so on. The data processing section generates an emergency information viewing result report that contains a record of an identifier of emergency information output by the reception apparatus and emergency information output time information in accordance with a CDM (Consumption Data Message) format. The CDM keeps a record of not only emergency information output time information but also reception apparatus position information, emergency information sender information, and so on.

Abstract: The present technology relates to an information processing device and an information processing method, in which streaming traffic can be subjected to a load dispersion by using a broadcast network.An information processing device processes a request of contents, to be transmitted from a plurality of receiving devices, and dynamically switches return through communication and return through broadcast, as a return path of a response with respect to the request, on the basis of first identification information for identifying a broadcast area capable of being received by the receiving device, and second identification information for identifying the contents, the first identification information and the second identification information being included in the request, and thus, streaming traffic can be subjected to a load dispersion. The present technology, for example, can be applied to a dedicated server (a switching server) provided on a server backend side.
