Abstract
Methods, apparatuses, and non-transitory computer-readable storage mediums for providing and/or processing non-closed caption data. The reception apparatus includes a receiver, a parser, and a processor. The receiver receives closed caption service data. The closed caption service data includes closed caption data within a first service block having a service number in the range of 1-6, and non-closed caption data within a second service block having a different service number in the range of 1-6. The closed caption data includes closed caption text. The parser parses the non-closed caption data within the second service block having the different service number in the range of 1-6. The processor performs a function based on the parsed non-closed caption data.
Claims20
A reception apparatus, comprising:
- circuitry configured to
- receive closed caption service data, the closed caption service data including closed caption data within a first service block having a service number in the range of 1-6, and non-closed caption data within a second service block having a different service number in the range of 1-6, the closed caption data including closed caption text;
- parse the non-closed caption data within the second service block having the different service number in the range of 1-6;
- process the non-closed caption data within the second service block irrespective of whether closed caption text from any service block included in the closed caption service data is to be processed for presentation to a user;
- and
- perform a function based on the processed non-closed caption data.
A method of a reception apparatus for processing non-closed caption data, the method comprising:
- receiving, by circuitry of the reception apparatus, closed caption service data, the closed caption service data including closed caption data within a first service block having a service number in the range of 1-6, and non-closed caption data within a second service block having a different service number in the range of 1-6, the closed caption data including closed caption text;
- parsing the non-closed caption data within the second service block having the different service number in the range of 1-6;
- processing, by the circuitry, the non-closed caption data within the second service block irrespective of whether closed caption text from any service block included in the closed caption service data is to be processed for presentation to a user;
- and
- performing, by the circuitry, a function based on the processed non-closed caption data.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions which when executed by a computer causes the computer to perform a method of a reception apparatus for processing non-closed caption data, the method comprising:
- receiving, by the reception apparatus, closed caption service data, the closed caption service data including closed caption data within a first service block having a service number in the range of 1-6, and non-closed caption data within a second service block having a different service number in the range of 1-6, the closed caption data including closed caption text;
- parsing the non-closed caption data within the second service block having the different service number in the range of 1-6;
- processing, by the reception apparatus, the non-closed caption data within the second service block irrespective of whether closed caption text from any service block included in the closed caption service data is to be processed for presentation to a user;
- and
- performing a function based on the parsed non-closed caption data.
An information providing apparatus, comprising:
- circuitry configured to
- generate or receive closed caption service data associated with audio/video (A/V) content;
- and
- provide to a reception apparatus the A/V content and the closed caption service data, the closed caption service data including closed caption data within a first service block having a service number in the range of 1-6, and non-closed caption data within a second service block having a different service number in the range of 1-6, the closed caption data including closed caption text, wherein
- the reception apparatus is configured to process the non-closed caption data within the second service block irrespective of whether closed caption text from any service block included in the closed caption service data is to be processed for presentation to a user.
A method of an information providing apparatus for providing non-closed caption data, the method comprising:
- generating or receiving, by circuitry of the information providing apparatus, closed caption service data associated with audio/video (A/V) content;
- and
- providing, by the circuitry, to a reception apparatus the A/V content and the closed caption service data, the closed caption service data including closed caption data within a first service block having a service number in the range of 1-6, and non-closed caption data within a second service block having a different service number in the range of 1-6, the closed caption data including closed caption text, wherein
- the reception apparatus is configured to process the non-closed caption data within the second service block irrespective of whether closed caption text from any service block included in the closed caption service data is to be processed for presentation to a user.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions which when executed by a computer causes the computer to perform a method of an information providing apparatus for providing non-closed caption data, the method comprising:
- generating or receiving, by the information providing apparatus, closed caption service data associated with audio/video (A/V) content;
- and
- providing, by the information providing apparatus, to a reception apparatus the A/V content and the closed caption service data, the closed caption service data including closed caption data within a first service block having a service number in the range of 1-6, and non-closed caption data within a second service block having a different service number in the range of 1-6, the closed caption data including closed caption text, wherein
- the reception apparatus is configured to process the non-closed caption data within the second service block irrespective of whether closed caption text from any service block included in the closed caption service data is to be processed for presentation to a user.
