Abstract: A reception apparatus that receives push-distributed data from another apparatus determines, based on information of data to be push-distributed, whether to register a predetermined function used to allow a predetermined application to use the data, registers the predetermined function determined to be registered in the determining, and executes the predetermined function when the push-distributed data is received if, concerning the data, the predetermined function has been registered in the registering.

Abstract: A transmission apparatus that transmits media data to a reception apparatus generates segments each corresponding to a predetermined time length portion of the media data, the segments including a first segment including predetermined reference data serving as a reference for play of the media data, and a second segment not including the predetermined reference data; and transmits the generated segment to the reception apparatus in response to a request for a segment from the reception apparatus. In the transmitting, based on that the segment requested by the reception apparatus is the second segment, the second segment is changed to the first segment and transmitted to the reception apparatus.
