Abstract: A configuration is realized that receives advertisements highly likely to be viewed and ensures enhanced likelihood for reproduction on a reception apparatus by controlling a transmission order of advertisements that can be selected and output. A transmission apparatus determines a transmission order of a plurality of pieces of advertisement content that can be selected and output during an advertisement output time of a given duration on a reception apparatus and sends the pieces of content. The transmission apparatus arranges the transmission time of content highly likely to be viewed closest to the advertisement output time and arranges the transmission time of content unlikely to be viewed before the transmission time of content highly likely to be viewed. Further, the transmission apparatus sends delivery priority information (Delivery Priority) specified for each of the plurality of pieces of advertisement content to the reception apparatus so that the reception apparatus can decide whether caching is required based on priority information.

Abstract: There is provided an arrangement for executing an application on the condition that the application has been confirmed as authorized. A transmitting apparatus sends an application and signaling data in which authentication information capable of confirming the application as authorized is recorded. A receiving apparatus receives these data, performs an authentication process based on the authentication information to confirm the application as authorized, and executes the application that has been confirmed as authorized. The application is an application used in a process of selecting advertisement contents depending on user information. It is possible to provide the user reliably with a proper advertisement according to the user information.

Abstract: A configuration is realized such that a playback application applied in a receiving device can be determined using a service category identifier recorded in an SLT that can be received in advance. The service category identifier capable of identifying an application applied to a provided service such as a program provided by a transmitting device is transmitted to the receiving device. The receiving device performs a continuation process on an application applied before service transition when the service transition occurs and when applications applied to services before and after the transition are same. The service category identifier is an identifier capable of identifying the service by determining whether to apply a residential playback application or a broadcast playback application for playback of the service.

Abstract: A configuration in which a reception device can determine whether or not data reception via a network is permitted on the basis of signaling data is implemented. A class identifier indicating a group of reception devices or users that are permitted to perform data reception via a network is recorded in signaling data transmitted from a transmission device to a reception device. A reception device determines whether or not a class identifier is identical to a class identifier set to a reception device or a user and performs data reception via a network when the class identifiers are identical to each other. A URL base pattern applied to data reception via a broadcast wave or a network is recorded in signaling data, and a reception device performs data acquisition to which the URL base pattern is applied.
