Abstract
Description
[放送システムの構成例]
図2は、第1の実施の形態である放送システム30を示している。この放送システム30は、例えば現状の米国において、いわゆるデータ放送のサービスを実現するために取得されるファイルの取得先に拘らず、同一の名前空間を用いてファイルを取得できるようにするものである。
次に、図3は、受信装置60が、放送装置41からのトリガ信号に基づいて、データ放送用コンテンツにより実現される映像を、図示せぬモニタに表示させる場合の一例を示している。
次に、図4は、受信装置60の構成例を示している。受信装置60は、チューナ81、多重分離部82、オーディオデコーダ83、音声出力部84、ビデオデコーダ85、映像出力部86、ファイル受信処理部87、ストレージ88、トリガ処理部89、アプリ制御部90、アプリエンジン91、及び通信I/F92から構成される。
図5は、トリガ信号がTSのPCRパケットに格納されて送信される場合の概念を示している。同図に示すように、トリガ信号は全てのPCRパケットに格納されるわけではなく、テレビジョン番組に相当するAVコンテンツと連動させるための適切なタイミングにおいてのみ、PCRパケットに格納される。
次に、受信装置60がトリガ信号を受信したときに行なうトリガ信号対応処理について説明する。
次に、図14のフローチャートを参照して、図13のステップS4又はステップS11におけるファイル取得処理について説明する。
次に、図15乃至図19を参照して、放送装置41により放送されるデジタルテレビジョン放送信号について説明する。
第1の実施の形態では、図11及び図12に示されるように、対象ファイルを、URLにより指定するようにしたが、対象ファイルの指定方法は、これに限定されない。
コマンドコードがアプリイベントである場合についても同様に、共通の名前空間を用いて、イベントの実行時に用いられるデータを取得することができる。
第1及び第2の実施の形態では、受信装置60は、取得先フラグに基づいて、対象ファイルの取得先を決定するようにしたが、その他、取得先フラグを用いずに、取得先からファイルが取得されるまで、予め決められた順序で、取得先を順次決定してファイルの取得を試みるようにしてもよい。
図27は、上述した一連の処理をプログラムにより実行するコンピュータのハードウェアの構成例を示すブロック図である。
