Abstract: Disclosed herein is a receiving device for receiving AV contents, the receiving device including: an obtaining section configured to obtain a description document described in a program language for displaying contents from a server present on a network connected with the receiving device; a determining section configured to determine whether the obtained the description document is obtained from a first server managed on a broadcaster side broadcasting the AV contents; and a controlling section configured to control execution of the obtained the description document according to a result of determination by the determining section.

Abstract: A receiving apparatus has a first memory area accessible by a first provider providing first contents and a second memory area accessible by a second provider providing second contents. A receiving unit receives a first access right file and a second access right file. An output unit outputs the first contents or the second contents. A memory control unit stores first information associated with the first contents in the first memory area and stores second information associated with the second contents in the second memory area. A switching unit switches from outputting the first contents to outputting the second contents. A determining unit determines whether the second provider is permitted to access the first memory area. An output controller reads the first information and outputs the second contents based on the first information to the output unit when the second provider is permitted to access the first memory area.

Abstract: The present invention provided a content delivery system that can deliver content by way of the Internet. In the system, a browser requests a content server to deliver a startup file. The content server transmits the startup file to the browser. The startup file describes that the content is to be delivered by streaming or that it is to be delivered by downloaded files. A content reproducing section determines if the content is that to be delivered by streaming or that to be delivered by downloaded files according to the description of the startup file it receives from the browser. A television receiving set may be used as content processing apparatus for receiving the delivery of the content from a content delivery apparatus of such a system.

The information mediation apparatus collects information from the plurality of information sources, analyzes the information, and generates one or more guideposts corresponding to information values thereof and data indicating a correlation between the plurality of information sources relative to the guideposts. A client apparatus receives one or more guideposts and a set of data containing information indicating the correlation of the information sources relative to the guidepost from the information mediation apparatus, and displays the correlation between these information sources in such a mode that the user can easily understand.

Abstract: [Object] To realize processing for switching a reproduction state from broadcast data to network data and resuming the reproduction of the original broadcast data. [Solving Means] A browser (241) acquires, via a network, an XML-AIT having a content equivalent to a broadcast AIT defining a life cycle of a broadcast application while a VoD content is reproduced after being switched from the broadcast application. The browser (241) manages the broadcast application based on the XML-AIT and resumes the reception of the broadcast application after the reproduction of the VoD content is ended. With this structure, processing of separating two transport streams at the same time becomes unnecessary, and one demultiplexer (23) only needs to be provided.
