Abstract
The present technology relates to an information processing apparatus enabling services using broadcasting and communication to be more flexibly served, a client apparatus, and a data processing method. An information processing apparatus inserts identification information for identifying the identity of a source of content into a request for the content to more flexibly serve services using broadcasting and communication. For example, the present technology can be applied to a gateway apparatus connected to a network such as home LAN or a client apparatus capable of reproducing content.
Claims20
An information processing apparatus comprising:
- circuitry configured to:
- acquire control information from a broadcast wave using an Internet protocol transmission system, wherein the control information includes low level signaling or service layer signaling transmitted in a layer of the Internet protocol transmission system;
- and
- execute browser functions as a DASH player;
- and
- a local proxy configured:
- to be accessed by the DASH player;
- to communicate with a server on the Internet;
- to send a request including segment information of content to the server when the request is transmitted via communication with a broadcasting service as a service entry, the request includes a proxy standby address request;
- and
- to insert identification information for identifying identity of a source of the content into the request, wherein the identification information includes at least a service identifier included in the low level signaling or the service layer signaling for identifying the broadcasting service.

A data processing method performed by an information processing apparatus, comprising:
- acquiring control information from a broadcast wave using an Internet protocol transmission system, wherein the control information includes low level signaling or service layer signaling transmitted in a layer of the Internet protocol transmission system;
- executing browser functions as a DASH player;
- communicating with a server on the Internet via a local proxy that is accessed by the DASH player;
- sending via the local proxy a request including segment information of content to the server when the request is transmitted via communication with a broadcasting service as a service entry, the request includes a proxy standby address request, and inserting via the local proxy identification information for identifying identity of a source of the content into the request, wherein the identification information includes at least an identifier included in the low level signaling or the service layer signaling for identifying the broadcasting service.
1 more element
A client apparatus comprising:
- circuitry configured to:
- process a connection with a gateway apparatus configured to transfer content distributed via broadcasting or via communication;
- execute browser functions as a DASH player;
- and
- reproduce the content transferred from the gateway apparatus via a network,
- wherein the gateway apparatus functions as a proxy, the circuitry establishes connection with the proxy on a basis of connection information associated with an IP address and a port number by which the proxy waits for a request, the connection information being provided from the gateway apparatus via the network, the gateway apparatus acquires control information from a broadcast wave using an Internet protocol transmission system, the control information includes low level signaling or service layer signaling transmitted in a layer of the Internet protocol transmission system;
- and
- a local proxy that is accessed by the DASH player configured to
- communicate with a server on the Internet;
- to send a request including segment information of the content to the server when the request is transmitted via communication with a broadcasting service as a service entry, the request includes a proxy standby address request, and
- to insert identification information for identifying identity of a source of the content into the request, wherein the identification information includes at least an identifier included in the low level signaling or the service layer signaling for identifying the broadcasting service.
8 more elements
A data processing method in a client apparatus, comprising:
- by the client apparatus, in a case where connection with a gateway apparatus configured to transfer content distributed via broadcasting or via communication is established, establishing connection with a proxy on a basis of connection information associated with an IP address and a port number by which the proxy waits for a request, the connection information being provided from the gateway apparatus functioning as a proxy via a network;
- reproducing the content transferred from the gateway apparatus via the network,
- wherein the gateway apparatus acquires control information from a broadcast wave using an Internet protocol transmission system, the control information includes low level signaling or service layer signaling transmitted in a layer of the Internet protocol transmission system;
- communicating with a server on the Internet via a local proxy that is accessed by a DASH player which executes browser functions;
- and
- sends via the local proxy a request including segment information of the content to the server, the request includes a proxy standby address request, and inserts identification information for identifying identity of a source of the content into the request, wherein the identification information includes at least an identifier included in the low level signaling or the service layer signaling for identifying the broadcasting service.
