Information processing device and information processing method

An information processing method of an information processing device, the method comprising:

• receiving, by processing circuitry of the information processing device, a segment request from a receiving device, the segment request requesting delivery of a segment of a piece of content and including
• a segment identifier identifying the segment of the piece of content,
• a broadcast identifier identifying a broadcast signal that is receivable by the receiving device, and
• a content identifier identifying the piece of content;
• and
• controlling, by the processing circuitry of the information processing device, the delivery of the segment of the piece of content to the receiving device in response to the segment request, including selecting one of broadband communication and broadcast transmission as a delivery path for the delivery of the segment of the piece of content to the receiving device, on a basis of the segment identifier, the broadcast identifier, and the content identifier, the broadcast transmission being configured based on the broadcast identifier.

An information processing device, comprising:

• processing circuitry configured to:
• generate a segment request requesting delivery of a segment of a piece of content, the segment request including a segment identifier, a broadcast identifier, and a content identifier, the segment identifier identifying the segment of the piece of content, the broadcast identifier identifying a broadcast signal that is receivable by the information processing device, and the content identifier identifying the piece of content;
• transmit the segment request to a server device;
• and
• receive the segment of the piece of content delivered in response to the segment request and through a delivery path selected from broadband communication or broadcast transmission, the broadcast transmission being configured based on the broadcast identifier.

An information processing method of an information processing device, the method comprising:

• generating, by processing circuitry of the information processing device, a segment request requesting delivery of a segment of a piece of content the segment request including a segment identifier, a broadcast identifier, and a content identifier, the segment identifier identifying the segment of the piece of content, the broadcast identifier identifying a broadcast signal that is receivable by the information processing device, and the content identifier identifying the piece of content;
• transmitting the segment request to a server device;
• and
• receiving the segment of the piece of content delivered in response to the segment request of contents and through a delivery path selected from broadband communication or broadcast transmission, the broadcast transmission being configured based on the broadcast identifier.
