Provided are a device and a method which are capable of realizing an efficient search of metadata such as access information corresponding to acquisition-scheduled data in a reception device. A reception device receives a token which is auxiliary search information for efficiently searching for metadata such as access information related to acquisition-scheduled data of the reception device and performs a search process using the token. The token includes a service worker (SW) search scope token capable of limiting a search scope of access information corresponding to data serving as a management target of a specific service worker (SW) which is a data management program and a service worker (SW) cache scope token indicating that access information corresponding to data serving as a management target of a service worker (SW) is collectively recorded.

Over-the-air radio broadcast signals are commonly used to deliver a variety of programming content (e.g., audio, etc.) to radio receiver systems. Supplemental data (e.g., metadata) may be provided to radio broadcast receiver systems, where such supplemental data is associated with the programming content delivered via the over-the-air radio broadcast signals. In exemplary embodiments described herein, a radio receiver system receives both (i) primary programming content via over-the-air radio broadcast transmission, and (ii) metadata related to the programming content via wireless Internet. This use of metadata provides a user with an enhanced experience regardless of the type of terrestrial broadcast signal that is received at the user's radio receiver system. Users receiving radio broadcast signals at a receiver system may view images, videos, multimedia displays, text, etc., that is related to the programming content received via the over-the-air radio broadcast signals.

The present invention provides a method of transmitting broadcast signals. The method includes, receiving an uncompressed broadcast content from an external receiving unit, wherein an watermark is embedded in a frame of the uncompressed broadcast content; extracting the embedded watermark from the uncompressed broadcast content; parsing the extracted watermark; generating an URL by using information in the parsed watermark; and launching an application by using the generated URL, wherein the application provides the interactive services related to the uncompressed broadcast content.

Apparatus, methods, processors and computer programs products for generating or processing a broadcast radio transmission comprising multimedia content and supplemental information corresponding to the multimedia content. The supplemental information comprises a selected data group from a plurality of predetermined data groups each comprising different data, wherein the selected data group further comprises a tag and a corresponding set of text data operable to initiate a predetermined capability of a wireless device.

An internet of things (IOT) system includes an IOT server and multiple IOT devices and a voice-controlled device connected to the IOT server and the multiple IOT devices. The voice-controlled device receives a voice-controlled message of environmental sound information through a voice control interface, and broadcasts the voice-controlled message to neighboring IOT devices to drive a corresponding IOT device according to the voice-controlled message. When failing to recognize the voice-controlled message, the voice control interface uploads the voice-controlled message to a cloud server for query through the IOT server, and broadcasts a result of the query returned from the cloud server. A way of chain broadcasting is employed by the voice-controlled device to drive selected IOT device or receive returned information so as to enhance operational convenience in using IOT devices.
