To realize processing for switching a reproduction state from broadcast data to network data and resuming the reproduction of the original broadcast data. 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.

There is provided an information processing apparatus including a broadcast receiving unit and a controller. The broadcast receiving unit is configured to be capable of receiving a broadcast. The controller is configured to acquire a first application information table by communication, the first application information table storing at least first usage permission information indicating a usage permission range of a resource of the broadcast by an application using the resource, to control an operation of the application, and to acquire a second application information table storing at least second usage permission information indicating the usage permission range of the resource by the application by using the broadcast receiving unit during execution of the application, to control the operation of the application.

The present disclosure provides a receiving device including, a receiver that receives AV content, a detector, an acquirer, a tentative reservation registering part, and a definitive reservation registering part.

A video aggregation system for providing a user personalized video content from videos available on the Internet generates a selective feed by combining a first feed and a second feed. The video aggregation system receives a search request from an Internet service and transmits a search reply containing a separately resolvable link to a video content object from the selective feed.

The present invention provides a digital broadcast receiver capable of executing functions having higher added values. The broadcast receiver receives a broadcast wave of a digital broadcast service, controls an operation including activation and end of an application that is in cooperation with a broadcast program based on application-related information, and selects control relating to reactivation of the application based on a user's operation. If activation of the application is requested after the end of the application, the broadcast receiver controls the reactivation or non-reactivation of the application in accordance with the selection of control by the user.

Methods, apparatuses, and non-transitory computer-readable storage mediums for providing and/or processing non-closed caption data. The reception apparatus includes a receiver, a parser, and a processor. The receiver receives closed caption service data. The closed caption service data includes closed caption data within a first service block having a service number in the range of 1-6, and non-closed caption data within a second service block having a different service number in the range of 1-6. The closed caption data includes closed caption text. The parser parses the non-closed caption data within the second service block having the different service number in the range of 1-6. The processor performs a function based on the parsed non-closed caption data.

The present technology relates to a receiving device, a transmitting device, and a data processing method that can flexibly control operation of an application associated with content.

Effective period information indicating a period in which an application associated with content can specify one of a first mode for controlling operation of the application according to the period and a second mode for controlling the operation of the application according to intention of an end user and, in a case where the second mode is specified as the effective period information, the operation of the application is controlled in response to an operation by the end user. The present technology can be applied to a television receiver or the like, which can receive terrestrial broadcast, for example.

In one aspect, an example method involves: using, by a computing device, data associated with multiple elections to generate a set of ordered content items, wherein each content item of the set of ordered content items includes content associated with a respective one of the multiple elections, and wherein the set of ordered content items is used to generate a video stream representing video content; using, by a computing device, at least a portion of the data to make a determination that a status of one of the multiple elections satisfies each condition in a condition set; and based, at least in part, on the determination, while the video stream is being generated, modifying, by the computing device, the set of ordered content items, thereby causing the video content to be modified.

Methods and devices for inserting an event into a transport flow, for monitoring, managing and receiving the transport flow, and computer program all corresponding thereto. The invention relates to a method for monitoring a transport flow at the output of an equipment of a broadcast network, implementing at least one iteration of the following steps: obtaining (61) the transport flow delivered by said equipment, detecting (62) a current event packet associated with content carried by said transport flow, said event packet carrying a synchronization header comprising: reference time information defined with respect to a reference clock of said content; a desired delay between said current event packet and a reference packet of said content identified based on said reference time information, determining (63) an offset between an actual position of said current event packet in said transport flow and a desired position of said current event packet in said transport flow, determined based on said reference time information and on said desired delay, called processing offset.

A media system includes a plurality of set-top boxes coupled to a coax network and a controller. The controller displays a first passkey to a user in response to receiving a request from the user to activate playback of a media content on a particular set-top box. The set-top box receives the first passkey from the user and determines whether the user is authorized to activate playback of the media content by comparing the first passkey received from the user with a second passkey obtained from a passkey module on the set-top box. When the user is determined by the set-top box to be authorized to activate playback of the media content, the set-top box determines a radio frequency channel of the coax network according to the first passkey received from the user and begins playback of the media content received on the radio frequency channel on a display device.
