Abstract
A method, reception apparatus, and computer-readable medium for communicating with a server to download or upload data. The method includes acquiring a URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) message that includes a DNS (Domain Name System) name registered with the IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority). A URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is generated based on the registered DNS name in the acquired URI message and a predetermined domain name. The data is downloaded from, or uploaded to, the server using the generated URL.
Claims18
A method of a reception apparatus for communicating with a server to download or upload data, the method comprising:
- receiving a URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) message, the URI message including a DNS (Domain Name System) name registered with the IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority);
- generating a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) based on the registered DNS name included in the received URI message and a predetermined domain name;
- and
- downloading the data from, or uploading the data to, the server using the generated URL, wherein
- the predetermined domain name includes a top-level domain name and a second-level domain name of the URL.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions which when executed by a computer cause the computer to perform a method for communicating with a server to download or upload data, the method comprising:
- receiving a URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) message, the URI message including a DNS (Domain Name System) name registered with the IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority);
- generating a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) based on the registered DNS name included in the received URI message and a predetermined domain name;
- and
- downloading the data from, or uploading the data to, the server using the generated URL, wherein
- the predetermined domain name includes a top-level domain name and a second-level domain name of the URL.
The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 11, wherein the URI type indicates that the URL corresponds to a signaling server, an electronic service guide server, a service usage data gathering report server, an emergency information server, or an application manifest server.
A reception apparatus, comprising:
- circuitry configured to
- receive a URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) message, the URI message including a DNS (Domain Name System) name registered with the IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority);
- generate a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) based on the registered DNS name included in the received URI message and a predetermined domain name;
- and
- download the data from, or upload the data to, the server using the generated URL, wherein
- the predetermined domain name includes a top-level domain name and a second-level domain name of the URL.
