Transmitting method, receiving method, transmitting device, and receiving device

A receiving method of receiving a predetermined data unit in which data configuring an application is stored, the receiving method comprising:

• receiving (i) the predetermined data unit, and (ii) control information which includes:
• time specification information indicating an operation time of the application;
• and identification information indicating whether or not the time specification information is time information indicating a time that is before a leap second adjustment, and
• executing the application stored in the received predetermined data unit, based on the received control information.

A transmitting device which stores data configuring an application into a predetermined data unit and transmits the stored data in the predetermined unit, the transmitting device comprising:

• a generator which generates time specification information indicating an operation time of the application, based on reference time information received from an external source;
• and
• a transmitter which transmits (i) the predetermined data unit and (ii) control information indicating the time specification information generated by the generator,
• wherein the control information includes the time specification information generated by the generator and identification information indicating whether or not the time specification information is time information indicating a time that is before a leap second adjustment.

A receiving device which receives a predetermined data unit in which data configuring an application is stored, the receiving device comprising,

• a receiver which receives (i) the predetermined data unit and (ii) control information which includes:
• time specification information indicating an operation time of the application;
• and identification information indicating whether or not the time specification information is time information indicating a time before a leap second adjustment,
• wherein the application stored in the predetermined data unit received by the receiver is executed based on the control information received by the receiver.
