Abstract
Disclosed herein is a reception apparatus including: a reception block configured to receive AV content; a trigger information capture block configured to capture trigger information for controlling an operation of an application program to be executed in coordination with said AV content; and a control block configured to control an operation of said application program in accordance with an operation mode specified in said trigger information.
Claims4
A reception apparatus comprising:
- circuitry configured to
- receive audio/visual (AV) content,
- extract a feature quantity from data of said audio/visual content,
- capture trigger information for controlling an operation of an application program to be executed in coordination with said audio/visual content, said trigger information corresponding to an identification result of said audio/visual content identified by use of said feature quantity, and
- control an operation of said application program in accordance with an operation mode specified in said trigger information.
A reception method of a reception apparatus comprising the steps of:
- receiving audio/visual content;
- extracting a feature quantity from data of said audio/visual content;
- capturing, by circuitry of the reception apparatus, trigger information for controlling an operation of an application program to be executed in coordination with said audio/visual content, said trigger information corresponding to an identification result of said audio/visual content identified by use of said feature quantity;
- and
- controlling, by the circuitry, an operation of said application program in accordance with an operation mode specified in said trigger information.
A transmission apparatus comprising:
- circuitry configured to
- generate trigger information for controlling an operation of an application program to be executed in coordination with audio/visual content, said trigger information being specified with an operation mode defined in accordance with a control scheme of said application program, said trigger information corresponding to an identification result of said audio/visual content identified by use of a feature quantity extracted from data of said audio/visual content, and
- transmit said trigger information along with said audio/visual content.
A transmission method of a transmission apparatus comprising:
- generating, by circuitry of the transmission apparatus, trigger information for controlling an operation of an application program to be executed in coordination with audio/visual content, said trigger information being specified with an operation mode defined in accordance with a control scheme of said application program, said trigger information corresponding to an identification result of said audio/visual content identified by use of a feature quantity extracted from data of said audio/visual content;
- and
- transmitting said trigger information along with said audio/visual content.
