Abstract
A reception apparatus includes: a reception section adapted to receive an AV content; a trigger extraction section adapted to extract trigger information transmitted together with the AV content for rendering an application program, which is to be executed in a linked relationship with the AV content, operative; a command acquisition section adapted to acquire a command for controlling the operation of the application program in response to the extracted trigger information; and a control section adapted to control the operation of the application program in response to the acquired command.
Claims12
A reception apparatus, comprising:
- a reception section adapted to receive an AV content;
- a trigger extraction section adapted to extract trigger information transmitted together with the AV content for rendering an application program, which is to be executed in a linked relationship with the AV content, operative;
- a command acquisition section adapted to acquire a command for controlling the operation of the application program in response to the extracted trigger information;
- and
- a control section adapted to control the operation of the application program in response to the acquired command.
A reception method for a reception apparatus, comprising:
- receiving an AV content;
- extracting trigger information transmitted together with the AV content for rendering an application program, which is to be executed in a linked relationship with the AV content, operative;
- acquiring a command for controlling operation of the application program in response to the extracted trigger information;
- and
- controlling the operation of the application program in response to the acquired command.
A program for causing a computer to function as:
- a reception section adapted to receive an AV content;
- a trigger extraction section adapted to extract trigger information transmitted together with the AV content for rendering an application program, which is to be executed in a linked relationship with the AV content, operative;
- a command acquisition section adapted to acquire a command for controlling the operation of the application program in response to the extracted trigger information;
- and
- a control section adapted to control the operation of the application program in response to the acquired command.
An information processing system, comprising:
- a reception apparatus adapted to receive an AV content;
- a first information processing apparatus adapted to specify an acquisition destination of a command for controlling operation of an application program to be executed in a linked relationship with the AV content;
- a second information processing apparatus adapted to provide the command;
- and
- a third information processing apparatus adapted to provide the application program;
- said reception apparatus including
- a reception section adapted to receive the AV content,
- a trigger extraction section adapted to extract trigger information transmitted together with the AV content for rendering the application program operative,
- a specification information acquisition section adapted to acquire specification information for specifying said second information processing apparatus from said first information processing apparatus in response to the extracted trigger information,
- a command acquisition section adapted to access said second information processing apparatus specified by the specification information acquired from said first information processing apparatus to acquire the command, and
- a control section adapted to control the operation of the application program acquired from said third information processing apparatus in response to the command acquired from said second information processing apparatus,
- said first information processing apparatus including a first provision section adapted to provide the specification information in response to an inquiry from said reception apparatus,
- said second information processing apparatus including a second provision section adapted to provide the command in response to an inquiry from said reception apparatus,
- said third information processing apparatus including a third provision section adapted to provide the application program in accordance with the command in response to an inquiry from said reception apparatus.
