Reception device, reception method, transmission device, and transmission method

A reception method of a reception device, the method comprising:

• receiving, by circuitry of the reception device, a digital broadcast signal including an internet protocol (IP) transport stream;
• acquiring, by the circuitry, one or more components of a specific service of a plurality of services included in the digital broadcast signal in accordance with control information, the control information including transfer type information of the one or more components of the specific service, wherein the first control information is transferred by a first layer which is higher than an IP layer of a protocol stack used to transmit the digital broadcast signal;
• and
• acquiring, by the circuitry, second control information that is transferred by a packet having a structure which is different from a structure of an IP packet, and acquire the one or more components of the specific service in accordance with the second control information, wherein the second control information is transferred by a second layer which is higher than a lowest layer and lower than the first layer within the protocol stack.

A transmission device comprising:

• circuitry configured to
• acquire one or more components of a specific service;
• acquire first control information including transfer type information of the one or more components of the specific service, wherein the first control information is transferred by a first layer which is higher than an IP layer of a protocol stack used to transmit the digital broadcast signal;
• acquire second control information;
• and
• transmit a digital broadcast signal including the one or more components of the specific service and the control information, the digital broadcast signal including an internet protocol (IP) transport stream,
• wherein the first control information is transferred by a first layer which is higher than an IP layer of a protocol used to transmit the digital broadcast signal, second control information is transferred by a packet having a structure which is different from a structure of an IP packet, and the second control information is transferred by a second layer which is higher than a lowest layer and lower than the first layer within the protocol stack.

A transmission method of a transmission device, the method comprising:

• acquiring one or more components of a specific service;
• acquiring, by circuitry of the transmission device, first control information including transfer type information of the one or more components of the specific service, wherein the first control information is transferred by a first layer which is higher than an IP layer of a protocol stack used to transmit the digital broadcast signal;
• acquiring, by the circuitry, second control information;
• and
• transmitting, by the circuitry, a digital broadcast signal including the one or more components of the specific service and the control information, the digital broadcast signal including an internet protocol (IP) transport stream,
• wherein the first control information is transferred by a first layer which is higher than an IP layer of a protocol used to transmit the digital broadcast signal, second control information is transferred by a packet having a structure which is different from a structure of an IP packet, and the second control information is transferred by a second layer which is higher than a lowest layer and lower than the first layer within the protocol stack.

A non-transitory computer readable medium that stores a program which when executed by a reception device, causes the reception device to perform a method comprising:

• receiving, by circuitry of the reception device, a digital broadcast signal including an internet protocol (IP) transport stream;
• acquiring, by the circuitry, one or more components of a specific service of a plurality of services included in the digital broadcast signal in accordance with control information, the control information including transfer type information of the one or more components of the specific service, wherein the first control information is transferred by a first layer which is higher than an IP layer of a protocol stack used to transmit the digital broadcast signal;
• and
• acquiring, by the circuitry, second control information that is transferred by a packet having a structure which is different from a structure of an IP packet, and acquire the one or more components of the specific service in accordance with the second control information, wherein the second control information is transferred by a second layer which is higher than a lowest layer and lower than the first layer within the protocol stack.
