Abstract
[Object] To enable a user to conveniently use broadcast of a data program that the user wishes to view under an environment where data broadcast and Internet-related broadcast coexist. [Solving Means] There is provided an information processing apparatus that acquires a startup document of data broadcast including instruction information that instructs to acquire an application information table related to an application for presenting a data program related to a television program, acquires the application information table based on the instruction information stored in the startup document, acquires the application based on the application information table, and executes the application to present the data program.
Claims9
An information processing apparatus, comprising
- a controller that acquires a multimedia document of data broadcast including instruction information that instructs to acquire application control information related to an application for presenting a data program related to a television program provided via broadcast wave transmission, acquires, based on a determination whether a predetermined indicia on a display screen is operated by a user, in which by execution of a script as the instruction information of the multimedia document the display screen is generated when a connection to a network is determined to be possible, the application control information via the network, acquires the application based on the application control information, and executes the application to present the data program which is provided via the network,
- wherein the controller, based on a determination whether switching of the multimedia document is indicated by information for indicating multimedia document switching in the data broadcast, ends, along with a switch of the multimedia document of the data broadcast accompanied by an update of the multimedia document while the data program is being presented based on the application, the execution of the application and acquires the switched multimedia document.
An information processing method, comprising:
- acquiring, by a controller, a multimedia document of data broadcast including instruction information that instructs to acquire application control information related to an application for presenting a data program related to a television program provided via broadcast wave transmission;
- acquiring, by the controller, based on a determination whether a predetermined indicia on a display screen is operated by a user, in which by execution of a script as the instruction information of the multimedia document the display screen is generated when a connection to a network is determined to be possible, the application control information via the network;
- acquiring, by the controller, the application based on the application control information;
- executing, by the controller, the application to present the data program which is provided via the network, and
- based on a determination whether switching of the multimedia document is indicated by information for indicating multimedia document switching in the data broadcast, ending by the controller, along with a switch of the multimedia document of the data broadcast accompanied by an update of the multimedia document while the data program is being presented based on the application, the execution of the application and acquiring by the controller the switched multimedia document.
A non-transitory storage medium on which is recorded a program that causes a computer to function as a controller that:
- acquires a multimedia document of data broadcast including instruction information that instructs to acquire application control information related to an application for presenting a data program related to a television program provided via broadcast wave transmission,
- acquires, based on a determination whether a predetermined indicia on a display screen is operated by a user, in which by execution of a script as the instruction information of the multimedia document the display screen is generated when a connection to a network is determined to be possible, the application control information via the network,
- acquires the application based on the application control information,
- executes the application to present the data program which is provided via the network, and
- based on a determination whether switching of the multimedia document is indicated by information for indicating multimedia document switching in the data broadcast, ends, along with a switch of the multimedia document of the data broadcast accompanied by an update of the multimedia document while the data program is being presented based on the application, the execution of the application and acquires the switched multimedia document.
