At step S1, a URI of a desired content is input. At step S3, corresponding to the input URI, a proper resolution executing portion is selected. A plurality of resolution executing portions perform processes in parallel. At step S4, with reference to a correlation table that correlates identification names of contents and file names in a storing unit, a name resolving process is performed. At step S6, with reference to name resolution table data transmitted as an MPEG2 section table in a satellite broadcast, a name resolving process is performed. At step S8, by communicating with a name resolving service on a network such as DNS, a name resolving process is performed. After the name resolving processes in all methods have been completed, at step S10, an acquired location list L is sent to a content acquiring portion. The content acquiring portion references the list L and acquires a content designated by the URI.

Notification of lapse information of a public key certificate from a PKI directory server to a PKI directory client. Certificate authority information in a certificate authority structure is made to correspond to a container entry, end entity information is made to correspond to a leaf entry, and the certificate authority structure is assigned to a directory tree. If a certain certificate is lapsed and a certificate is newly issued, the newly issued certificate and its serial number are stored in the entry. After a predetermined time elapses, the certificate is put into a certain URL and the certificate stored in the entry is replaced with the URL information. At a receiver, a filtering mask is set on the basis of a certificate pass for obtaining the necessary certificate. A directory tree in which URL information and the serial number have been stored is repetitively transmitted from the transmission side. At the receiver, only the entries selected by the filtering mask are updated.

Transmitting apparatuses, transmitting methods, receiving apparatuses, receiving methods, and transmitting and receiving systems for transmitting and receiving a hierarchical structure of a directory for hierarchically managing locations of contents data is disclosed. The apparatuses, methods and systems manage a hierarchical structure of a directory composed of a container entry and a leaf entry. The container entry contains information of the lower hierarchical level thereof, a leaf entry being located directly below a container entry. The leaf entry does not contain information of the lower hierarchical level thereof.

In order to reduce the amount of data to be transmitted by a transmission apparatus, the transmission apparatus transmits control sub-information to a receiving apparatus separately from video data which is actually distributed, and eliminates redundant distribution of video data. The receiving apparatus stores the received video data and creates content in accordance with the control sub-information.

A transmitting apparatus for transmitting a hierarchical structure of a directory for hierarchically managing locations of contents data is disclosed, that includes a managing unit for managing a hierarchical structure of a directory composed of a container entry and a leaf entry, a container entry containing information in the immediately lower hierarchical level thereof, a leaf entry being disposed in the immediately lower hierarchical level of a container entry, a leaf entry not containing information in the immediately lower hierarchical level thereof, a detecting unit for detecting a change of the hierarchical structure of the directory managed by the managing unit and obtaining position information and identification information corresponding to the detected result, the position information representing the position of a container entry in the hierarchical structure of the directory, the identification information identifying a leaf entry corresponding to the hierarchical structure of the directory, and a transmitting unit for transmitting the position information and the identification information.
摘要:
At a server 2, a subject for updating an object registered in a database 3 and an event for obtaining the subject are generated, while a request for the subject from a receiving terminal 5 is received and totaled so that a resource necessary for providing the subject is allocated on the basis of the result of totaling. Then, the event is transmitted and the subject is provided on the basis of the resource allocated thereto. At the receiving terminal 5, the event is received and the necessity of the subject to be obtained on the basis of the event is evaluated so that request data requesting the subject is transmitted to the server 2 on the basis of the result of evaluation. Then, the subject provided by the server 2 in response to the request data is obtained on the basis of the event.

摘要:
A transmitting system for transmitting contents data, meta data, and meta data schema. A meta data schema that represents the structure of meta data of contents data is stored in a meta data schema storing portion. A contents segmenting portion generates segmentation data for selecting a particular segment from successive contents data supplied from a contents storing portion and supplies the generated segmentation data to a meta data combining portion. The meta data combining portion correlates meta data with corresponding segmentation data in a format corresponding to the structure of the meta data schema, combines the meta data with the segmentation data, and outputs the combined data. The meta data schema, meta data with segmentation data, and contents data are converted in a transmission format.
