Information processing device, information processing method, and program

An information processing device, comprising:

• circuitry configured to:
• receive content from a content distribution device;
• output the received content for display to a user;
• acquire sample data from video data or audio data of the received content;
• provide the acquired sample data to a content identification device;
• based on a content identification result received from the content identification device when the content is identified, acquire management information from a management information distribution device that distributes the management information for an application relating to the identified content;
• execute processing related to the application based on the acquired management information;
• acquire the application from an application distribution device that distributes the application.

A method of an information processing device for executing an application, the method comprising:

• receiving content from a content distribution device;
• outputting the received content for display to a user;
• acquiring, by circuitry of the information processing device, sample data from video data or audio data of the received content;
• providing, by the circuitry, the acquired sample data to a content identification device;
• based on a content identification result received from the content identification device when the content is identified, acquiring by the circuitry management information from a management information distribution device that distributes the management information for the application relating to the identified content;
• executing, by the circuitry, processing related to the application based on the acquired management information;
• and
• acquiring the application from an application distribution device that distributes the application.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, which when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform a method of an information processing device for executing an application, the method comprising:

• receiving content from a content distribution device;
• outputting the received content for display to a user;
• acquiring sample data from video data or audio data of the received content;
• providing the acquired sample data to a content identification device;
• based on a content identification result received from the content identification device when the content is identified, acquiring management information from a management information distribution device that distributes the management information for the application relating to the identified content;
• executing processing related to the application based on the acquired management information;
• and
• acquiring the application from an application distribution device that distributes the application.
