  • Patent number: 11418273
    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.

  • Publication number: 20210314657
    Abstract: Provided are a device and a method capable of efficiently performing a synthesis process of broadcast reception data and network reception data. Broadcast reception data received by a receiving device via a communication unit is set as a media source object corresponding to a processing object of an application executed by the receiving device under an application programming interface (API). The application executes a synthesis process of the broadcast reception data and network reception data received via a network as processing for the media source object. The application obtains a time offset corresponding to a time difference between an application time axis and a broadcast time axis on the basis of an API application process to execute a high-accuracy and low-delay data synthesis process.

  • Patent number: 11102536
    Abstract: A configuration is implemented by which, in a case where delivery time periods of transmission contents through different channels overlap with each other, a reception apparatus can select an acquisition target on the basis of priority information. A transmission apparatus sets, for each of transmission contents, service selection priority information (Service Selection Priority) capable of being utilized as a cache process priority criterion in the reception apparatus, and transmits the service selection priority information to the reception apparatus. The service selection priority information is utilized as priority information that makes it possible, in a case where delivery time periods of transmission contents through different channels overlap with each other, for the reception apparatus to select a content having a high value of the service selection priority information as a cache target.

  • Patent number: 11064231
    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.
