Abstract: A technique capable of allowing a reception side to easily select components is provided. A transport stream in which a first transport packet including predetermined components and a second transport packet including signaling information related to the predetermined components are time-division multiplexed is transmitted via a predetermined transport path. Component selection information is inserted in the second transport packet. The component selection information includes information on a selective layer in which static selection is performed, information on a composite layer in which composition is performed, and information on an adaptive layer in which dynamic switching is performed, and these layers being arranged in that order from top to bottom. The acquisition destination information of a component which is a target of adaptive switching among the components selectable in the adaptive layer is information that designates specific information location of a metafile having data stream acquisition information for adaptive streaming.

Abstract: To provide an information processing apparatus capable of using an application seamlessly executable across channels of different broadcast stations. 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.

Abstract: Clock synchronization and presentation synchronization are appropriately achieved in the case where transmission is performed by carrying, on a broadcast signal, a transmission media packet obtained by fragmenting transmission media such as video and audio.A clock of 27 MHz synchronized with time information acquired from a time information server is generated. Time information including frequency information of the clock of 27 MHz and synchronized with the time information acquired from the time information server is generated. A transmission medium is encoded. The encoded transmission medium is fragmented in a predetermined unit, and a transmission media packet including each fragment is generated. A stream that includes, on time division basis, the transmission media packet, a packet including the time information, and a packet having a control signal is carried on a broadcast wave and transmitted.

Abstract: Transmission of emergency alert information using a broadcasting service in an appropriate manner is achieved. A transmitter 200 (broadcasting station) inserts a wake-up signal as signaling of emergency alert information, describes information including a scale (category), type, occurrence time, and occurrence position of disaster, and version information as a message of emergency alert information, and transmits the message using a packet structure of a physical layer. A simple and inexpensive receiver 300 equipped with only a receiving antenna for broadcasting and a demodulator can receive the message of emergency alert information. An evacuation direction and a map or route to a shelter can be displayed using digital signage or streetlights, and an evacuation route can be instructed using streetlights.
