技术领域
本公开的实施方式涉及广播信号的发送。
背景技术
数字地面电视广播的IP(Internet Protocol,互联网协议)再广播(也称为IP再发布)作为地面波中继站的补充措施是在广播信号的接收条件不佳的地域中能够用于接收数字地面电视广播的有效手段。另外,由于例如不需要设置天线等理由,无论广播信号的接收条件如何,IP再广播都能作为数字地面电视广播的观看方法的一个选择项而被有效利用。在BS(Broadcasting Satellite,广播卫星)数字广播中,也同样存在IP再广播。
这些数字地面电视广播、BS数字广播中的IP再广播在IPTV(Internet Protocol Television,互联网协议电视)论坛中已经标准化,并正在进行商用服务。例如,在数字地面电视广播的IP再广播服务中,如非专利文献7(后述)记载的那样,数字地面电视广播同样地,针对各广播业务商的广播信号发送装置(例如广播电台)规定一个网络。这里,网络是针对一个广播分配系统规定的MPEG2-TS(Moving Picture Experts Group-2 Transport Stream,动态图像专家组-2传输流)多路复用的集合体。
基于网络ID(network_id)来识别网络。IP再广播服务中的网络ID被分配有与数字地面电视广播、BS数字广播的网络ID相同的值。一般来说,IP再广播是将各广播信号发送装置发送的广播信号(TS:Transport Stream,传输流),经由IP再广播服务业务商运营的发送设备,作为IP再广播服务通过IP组播向接收装置发送。
各广播信号发送装置发送的各广播信号(TS)中包含的SI(Service Information,业务信息)等节目相关信息、控制信息的信号,在IP再广播服务业务商运营的发送设备中,如非专利文献7记载那样根据其种类经由两个传送路径向接收装置发送。
第一个传送路径是与各广播信号发送装置发送的广播信号(TS)中多路复用的节目(影像、声音)信息一并,通过IP组播发送的各台IP组播。第二个传送路径是将各广播信号发送装置发送的广播信号(TS)包含的SI等节目相关信息、控制信息的信号取出并汇集,通过另一个IP组播发送的SI专用组播。在地面广播的再广播的情况下,SI专用组播是将由不同网络ID的多个网络发送的SI信号作为广播信号汇总为一个流来发送。
SI专用组播对应的接收装置需要能够判别由SI专用组播发送的SI等节目相关信息、控制信息的各信号是被多路复用于哪个广播信号发送装置发送的(持有哪个ID的网络或者哪个TS发送的)广播信号。因此,由SI专用组播发送的SI等的节目相关信息、控制信息的各信号包含有能够正确识别原先的广播信号的信息。能够识别原先的广播信号(TS)的信息是非专利文献1(后述)记载的transport_stream_id。在数字地面电视广播、数字地面电视广播的IP再广播的情况下,该transport_stream_id的值是与network_id、original_network_id相同的值。

此外,术语“第一”、“第二”仅用于描述目的,而不能理解为指示或暗示相对重要性或者隐含指明所指示的技术特征的数量。由此,限定有“第一”、“第二”的特征可以明示或者隐含地包括至少一个该特征。
伴随着由高级BS产生的4K/8K的高级BS数字广播的正式广播从2018年12月开始,预想在高级BS数字广播中也要提供IP再广播服务。高级BS数字广播中的TLV(Type-Length-Value,类型长度值)包以及MMT(MPEG Media Transfer,MPEG媒体传输)的控制信息、即SI(Signaling Information,信令信息)信号大多会沿袭数字地面电视广播、BS数字广播的SI(Service Information,业务信息)信号、PSI(Program Specific Information,节目特定信息)信号等节目相关信息、控制信息的内容、传送形式。
因而,设想在高级BS数字广播的IP再广播服务中,各广播信号发送装置发送的广 播信号包含的节目相关信息、控制信息(SI信号)也是在IP再广播服务业务商运营的发送设备中,分为各台IP组播与SI专用组播这两个传送路径向接收装置发送。
与该SI专用组播对应的接收装置必须能够判别由SI专用组播发送的、MMT-TLV方式的SI(Signaling Information)的各信号是被多路复用于哪个广播信号发送装置发送的广播信号(TLV流)。因此,由SI专用组播发送的SI的各信号需要包含能够正确识别原先被多路复用的广播信号(TLV流)的信息。
在高级BS数字广播的情况下,能够识别原先的广播信号(TLV流)的信息是数字地面电视广播等的与MPEG-2多路复用方式的广播信号(TS)的transport_stream_id相当的tlv_stream_id。
但是,如非专利文献1、非专利文献3所示,广播系统的ID的体系在数字地面电视广播的情况下与在高级BS数字广播的情况下会不同,因而tlv_stream_id的值与network_id、original_network_id并不相同。因此,在高级BS数字广播中,使用网络ID无法识别SI信号原先被多路复用的广播信号。存在如下问题:接收到这样的SI信号的接收装置无法使用网络ID来识别由SI专用组播发送的SI信号原先被多路复用的广播信号(TLV流)。
另外,还设想在高级BS数字广播的IP再广播服务中,没有沿袭数字地面电视广播、BS数字广播的节目相关信息、控制信息的内容、传送形式的SI信号由SI专用组播传送的情况。只设想在原先被多路复用的广播信号(TLV流)内传送,从被多路复用的广播信号(TLV流)中取出并汇集再多路复用于另一个流的情况下,SI信号中也存在没有持有tlv_stream_id那样不重复而能够唯一地识别的信息的信息表。
因此,也考虑在高级BS数字广播中,由SI专用组播新传送的SI信号中不包含能够识别原先被多路复用的广播信号(TLV流)的信息的情况。存在如下问题:接收到这样的SI信号的接收装置无法识别由SI专用组播发送的SI信号原先被多路复用的广播信号(TLV流)。
因此,本实施方式中,目的在于提供在高级BS数字广播中能够用于IP再广播服务的SI信号。
下面,使用附图来详细地说明实施方式。

将影像编码器211对影像数据进行编码而生成的影像流、声音编码器212对声音数据进行编码而生成的声音流、字幕编码器213对字幕数据进行编码而生成的字幕流、由控制数据生成单元214生成的控制数据以MMT-TLV方式进行多路复用的多路复用单元采用附图标记215表示。多路复用单元215生成将影像流、声音流、字幕流、TLV包以及MMT的控制信息进行多路复用而成的TLV流。

具体地,发送装置110利用调谐器(1)301-1来接收经由天线113而得到的广播信号(节目1)。所接收到的广播信号(节目1)被发送到解调处理(1)302-1并且进行16APSK等解调、纠错解码,通过TLV/MMT解多路复用(1)303-1分离为影像流、声音流、字幕流、TLV包以及MMT的控制信息。
其中,TLV/MMT解多路复用(1)303-1将分离出的数据中的包含在TLV包以及MMT的控制信息中的一部分控制信息发送到SI专用TLV流送出处理305,将影像流、声音流、字幕流与剩余的TLV包以及MMT的控制信息以MMT-TLV方式再进行多路复用,向IP送出处理(1)304-1发送。
同样地,发送装置110利用调谐器(2)301-2来接收经由天线113而得到的广播信号(节目2)。所接收到的广播信号(节目2)被发送到解调处理(2)302-2并且进行 解调、纠错解码,通过TLV/MMT解多路复用(2)303-2分离为影像流、声音流、字幕流、TLV包以及MMT的控制信息。
其中,TLV/MMT解多路复用(2)303-2将分离出的数据中的包含在TLV包以及MMT的控制信息中的一部分控制信息发送到SI专用TLV流送出处理305,将影像流、声音流、字幕流与剩余的TLV包以及MMT的控制信息以MMT-TLV方式再进行多路复用,向IP送出处理(2)304-2发送。
同样地,发送装置110利用调谐器(2)301-n来接收经由天线113而得到的广播信号(节目n)。所接收到的广播信号(节目n)被发送到解调处理(n)302-n并且进行解调、纠错解码,通过TLV/MMT解多路复用(n)303-n分离为影像流、声音流、字幕流、TLV包以及MMT的控制信息。
其中,TLV/MMT解多路复用(n)303-n将分离出的数据中的包含在TLV包以及MMT的控制信息中的一部分控制信息发送到SI专用TLV流送出处理305,将影像流、声音流、字幕流与剩余的TLV包以及MMT的控制信息以MMT-TLV方式再进行多路复用,向IP送出处理(n)304-n发送。
IP送出处理(1)304-1将TLV/MMT解多路复用(1)303-1发送的被多路复用的广播信号(节目1)作为包含影像流、声音流、字幕流和TLV包以及MMT的控制信息的节目(1)流,向IP组播网121发送。
同样地,IP送出处理(2)304-2将从TLV/MMT解多路复用(2)303-2发送的被多路复用的广播信号(节目2)作为包含影像流、声音流、字幕流和TLV包以及MMT的控制信息的节目(2)流,向IP组播网121发送。
同样地,IP送出处理(n)304-3将从TLV/MMT解多路复用(n)303-n发送的被多路复用的广播信号(节目n)作为包含影像流、声音流、字幕流和TLV包以及MMT的控制信息的节目(n)流,向IP组播网121发送。
另一方面,SI专用TLV流送出处理305将从TLV/MMT解多路复用(1)303-1、TLV/MMT解多路复用(2)303-2、TLV/MMT解多路复用(n)303-n各自发送的TLV包以及MMT的控制信息以MMT-TLV方式进行多路复用,作为一个SI专用流,向IP组播网121发送。
关于作为节目(1)流而从IP送出处理(1)304-1向IP组播网121作为IP组播发送、或者作为节目(2)流而从IP送出处理(2)304-2向IP组播网121作为IP组播发 送、或者作为节目(n)流而从IP送出处理(n)304-n向IP组播网121作为IP组播发送,基于SI传送路径的观点,也可以称为各台SI组播。
另外,关于作为SI专用流而从SI专用TLV流送出处理305向IP组播网121作为IP组播发送,基于相同的SI传送路径的观点,也可以称为SI专用组播。
图4是概略地示出接收装置130的结构的图。
图4的接收装置130的例子是IP再广播服务专用的接收装置的例子。
接收装置130包括网络接口400、通信处理401、流接收处理402。这些网络接口400、通信处理401、流接收处理402作为IP再广播服务专用的接收装置来发挥功能。与访问线路122连接的接口、即网络接口采用附图标记400表示。
对访问线路122中的协议栈进行处理的通信处理采用附图标记401表示。对边缘路由器123发送的节目流、SI专用流进行接收处理的流接收处理采用附图标记402表示。接收装置130除了包括这些作为IP再广播服务专用的接收装置的功能以外,还包括解扰码器403、TLV/MMT分离处理404、声音解码处理405、影像解码处理406、控制数据解析单元407、CAS模块408、提示处理409、扬声器410、显示画面411。这些解扰码器403、TLV/MMT分离处理404、声音解码处理405、影像解码处理406、控制数据解析单元407、提示处理408、提示处理409、扬声器410、显示画面411形成的功能是与电视接收装置持有的功能相同。
另外,还包括用于使接收装置130的这些功能进行工作的CPU(Central Processing Unit,中央处理器)425、ROM(read only memory,只读存储器)423、RAM(Random Access Memory,随机存取存储器)424、NVRAM(Non-Volatile Random Access Memory,非易失性随机访问存储器)421的资源。这里,访问线路122发送的节目流、SI专用流是接收装置130的用户选择的频道(A)的节目(A)的流。
接收装置130从访问线路122获取用户选择的频道(A)的节目(A)的流的顺序如下所述。当接收装置130的用户选择作为要观看的节目,即频道(A)的节目(A)时,流接收处理402为了接收频道(A)的节目(A)的流,首先对边缘路由器123发送频道(A)的流(A)的发送请求。
边缘路由器123当接收到频道(A)的节目(A)的流的发送请求时,将由各台IP组播发送的频道(A)的节目流(A)向流接收处理402发送。另外,在接收装置130需要通过SI专用流发送的节目(A)的TLV包以及MMT的控制信息的情况下,流接 收处理402为了接收所需要的节目(A)的TLV包以及MMT的控制信息,对边缘路由器123发送SI专用流的发送请求。
边缘路由器123当接收到SI专用流的发送请求时,从SI服务器(后述)获取SI专用流中所需要的节目(A)的TLV包以及MMT的控制信息,向流接收处理402发送。流接收处理402通常向解扰码器403输入如边缘路由器123发送的频道(A)的节目流(A)那样的加扰信号。
解扰码器403将节目流(A)进行解扰码,将解扰码的数据向TLV/MMT分离处理404输入。另外,流接收处理402将如SI专用流那样的不加扰信号原样向TLV/MMT分离处理404输入。
TLV/MMT分离处理404将解扰码后的节目流(A)分离为声音流、影像流、TLV包以及MMT的控制信息。另外,TLV/MMT分离处理404将SI专用流分离为TLV包以及MMT的控制信息。
TLV/MMT分离处理404将从节目流(A)分离出的声音流输入到声音解码器405、将影像流输入到影像解码器406、将TLV包以及MMT的控制信息输入到控制数据解析单元407。另外,TLV/MMT分离处理404将从SI专用流分离出的TLV包以及MMT的控制信息也输入到控制数据解析单元407。这样,从节目流(A)分离出的TLV包以及MMT的控制信息的信号或者从SI专用流分离出的TLV包以及MMT的控制信息被输入到控制数据解析单元407。
声音解码器405将所输入的声音流进行解码,通过解码而生成的声音信号由扬声器410输出。影像解码器406将所输入的影像流进行解码,通过解码而生成的影像信号显示于显示装置411。
控制数据解析单元407对所输入的TLV包以及MMT的控制信息进行解析,对声音解码器405的解码处理、影像解码器406的解码处理和播放进行必要的控制,将作为TLV包以及MMT的控制信息发送的图像数据保存到NVRAM 421。另外,在从SI专用流分离出的TLV包以及MMT的控制信息中,控制数据解析单元407取出频道(A)的节目(A)的TLV包以及MMT的控制信息。在从SI专用流分离出的TLV包以及MMT的控制信息中,流接收处理402取出频道(A)的节目(A)的TLV包以及MMT的控制信息时,判定SI专用流包含的TLV包以及MMT的控制信息中是否包含与频道(A)相关的信息并且取出。与频道(A)相关的信息例如是频道(A)的流的tlv_stream_id。
使用图10、图11说明在接收装置130与边缘路由器123之间选台时的序列、获取SI专用流时的序列。外部接口430例如可以是HDMI(High Definition Multimedia Interface,高清多媒体接口)(注册商标)、USB(Universal Serial Bus,通用串行总线)。
图5是示出在IP再广播中由SI专用组播发送的控制信息的列表的图。图5的(A)示出了在非专利文献7记载的数字地面电视广播的IP再广播中由SI专用组播发送的SI等节目相关信息以及控制信息的列表。
另外,图5的(B)示出根据在目前的数字地面电视广播中的IP再广播中所使用的SI等节目相关信息以及控制信息的种类而设想的、在高级BS数字广播中进行IP再广播的情况下由SI专用组播发送的TLV包以及MMT的控制信息的例子的列表。MH-SDT(MH-Service Description Table,消息处理-业务描述表)、MH-EIT(MH-Event Information Table,消息处理-事件信息表)、MH-CDT(MH-Common Date Table,消息处理-通用数据表)、TLV-NIT(Type Length Value-Network Information Table,类型长度值-网络信息表)、MH-BIT(MH-Broadcaster Information Table,消息处理-广播信息表)、AMT(Address Map Table,地址映射表)是非专利文献3记载的TLV包以及MMT的控制信息。
如上所述,数字地面电视广播中的网络的网络ID与高级BS数字广播中的广播系统的ID的体系不同。图6是概略地示出数字地面电视广播中的网络ID(network_id)、传输流ID(ts_id)、业务ID(service_id)的关系以及高级BS数字广播中的网络ID(network_id)、TLV流ID(tlv_stream_id)、业务ID(service_id)的关系的图。
图6的(A)表示数字地面电视广播中的网络ID、传输流ID(ts_id)、业务ID的关系。如非专利文献4所记载,网络ID是网络的标识,TS_ID(transport_stream_id)是MPEG2-TS的TS(Transport Stream,传输流)的标识,service_id是业务的标识。
针对各中心控制室分配一个网络ID。中心控制室例如是广播信号发送装置100。因为按每个TS来分配TS_ID,所以在数字地面电视广播中,网络ID与TS_ID为一对一的关系。
业务(service)是广播业务商编制的编制频道。一个TS中可以包含多个业务。也就是说,TS_ID与业务ID(service_id)一般来说为1对n(n是1以上的整数)的关系。
某广播信号发送装置A中的网络ID、传输流ID、业务ID的关系由附图标记601示出。示出如下:针对广播信号发送装置A规定一个网络ID=A的网络601-1,针对该网 络601-1存在一个TS_id=A的TS601-2,在该TS601-2中存在业务ID=A1的业务601-31、业务ID=A2的业务601-32的多个业务。
同样地,602示出了某广播信号发送装置B中的网络ID、传输流ID、业务ID的关系。示出如下:针对广播信号发送装置B规定一个网络ID=B的网络602-1,针对该网络602-1存在一个TS_id=B的TS602-2,在该TS602-2中存在业务ID=B1的业务602-31、业务ID=B2的业务602-32的多个业务。
图6的(B)表示高级BS数字广播中的网络ID、TLV流ID、业务ID的关系。如非专利文献6所记载,网络ID是网络的标识,tlv_stream_id是MMT-TLV方式的TLV流的标识,service_id是业务的标识。
高级BS数字广播分配有一个网络ID。因为按每个TLV流分配tlv_stream_id,所以在高级BS数字广播中,网络ID与tlv_stream_id为一对n(n是1以上的整数)的关系。
业务(service)是广播业务商编制的编制频道。一个TLV流中也可以包含多个业务。也就是说,TLV流与业务ID(service_id)一般来说为1对n(n是1以上的整数)的关系。
这里,与数字地面电视广播的情况不同,高级BS数字广播中的网络ID与广播信号发送装置发送的广播波(即TLV流)的标识(即tlv_stream_id)为一对n(n是1以上的整数)的关系,所以无法根据网络ID来确定广播信号发送装置发送的广播波(即TLV流)。
因此,在包含网络ID的TLV包以及MMT的控制信息是通过SI专用流发送的情况下,接收到SI专用流的接收装置130无法根据网络ID来识别SI专用流中包含的TLV包以及MMT的控制信息原先被多路复用的广播信号的tlv_stream_id。
虽然作为网络的标识,除了网络ID(network_id)以外还存在original_network_id,但如非专利文献6记载,original_network_id设定为network_id的值。
在图5的(B)所示的TLV包以及MMT的控制信息的例子的列表中,在包含network_id或者original_network_id的TLV包以及MMT的控制信息中有MH-CDT(MH-Common_Data_Table)。
图7是表示MH-CDT的构成规则的图。701所示的字段为original_network_id。而且,设想高级BS数字广播中,MH-CDT仅在各广播业务商提供的TLV流内被传送。虽然在MH-CDT的构成规则(syntax)中存在download_data_id,但该标识是在各广播 业务商的管理的基础上在TLV流内独自分配的,在网络内无法保证唯一性。因而,在MH-CDT通过SI专用流发送的情况下,download_data_id无法作为用于识别原先被多路复用的广播信号的信息来利用。
因此,本实施方式的广播信号发送装置具备将用于识别广播信号的信息附加到MH-CDT、生成扩展MH-CDT的MMT控制信号的功能。
图8A是示出扩展MH-CDT的构成规则的例子的图。图8A示出的例子如下:作为附加的用于识别广播信号的信息,用tlv_stream_id的字段801替换MH-CDT的original_network_id的字段。伴随着字段的替换,再次计算并重新设定CRC_32(Cyclic Redundancy Check 32,循环冗余校验32)802的值。
还有,为明确与以往的MH-CDT的区别,也可以将table_id的字段(表的识别值)803的值设定为与MH-CDT的table_id的字段设定的值不相同。伴随着table_id的字段的值的更改,再次计算并重新设定CRC_32(Cyclic Redundancy Check 32)802的值。
图8B是示出扩展MH-CDT的构成规则的其它例子的图。图8B示出的例子如下:作为附加的用于识别广播信号的信息,在MH-CDT的构成规则中增加了tlv_stream_id的字段811。伴随着字段的增加,再次计算并重新设定CRC_32(Cyclic Redundancy Check 32)812的值。
还有,为明确与以往的MH-CDT的区别,也可以将table_id的字段(表的识别值)813的值设定为与MH-CDT的table_id的字段设定的值不相同。伴随着table_id的字段813的值的更改,再次计算并重新设定CRC_32(Cyclic Redundancy Check 32)812的值。
通过在MH-CDT中将构成规则的original_network_id字段替换为tlv_stream_id字段、或者增加tlv_stream_id字段,使得接收到扩展MH-CDT的接收装置130能够识别扩展MH-CDT被包含在哪个广播信号的TLV流。
关于图8A示出的例子,由于被替换的original_network_id字段与替换的tlv_stream_id为相同的字段大小,因此扩展MH-CDT的数据大小与以往的MH-CDT相同,生成和发送SI专用流时的速率控制能够设为与以往的使用MH-CDT的情况相同,从而能够使IP再广播发送装置中的处理变得容易。
关于图8B示出的例子,能够对以往的MH-CDT的各字段不施加语义上的变更而构成扩展MH-CDT。另外,由于数据大小与MH-CDT基本相同,生成和发送SI专用流时的速率控制能够设为与以往的使用MH-CDT的情况基本相同,从而能够使IP再广 播发送装置中的处理变得容易。
第二实施方式
另外,设想如下情况:没有沿袭数字地面电视广播、BS数字广播的IP再广播服务中由SI专用组播发送的SI(Service Information)等节目相关信息、控制信息的内容、传送形式的TLV包以及MMT的控制信息,其在高级BS数字广播的IP再广播服务中也由SI专用组播传送。在该情况下,需要在相应的TLV包以及MMT的控制信息中包含能够识别原先被多路复用的广播信号(TLV流)的信息。
作为这样的TLV包以及MMT的控制信息的例子,存在AMT(Address Map Table,地址映射表)。AMT是提供将用于识别广播节目的业务ID和IP包传送信息关连的信息的表。但是,AMT没有包含能够识别原先被多路复用的广播信号(TLV流)的信息。
因此,在AMT通过SI专用流发送的情况下,接收到SI专用流的接收装置130无法确定原先被多路复用的广播信号的tlv_stream_id。其结果是,接收到AMT的接收装置130无法容易地确定是业务的IP传送信息由哪个TLV流传送的。
因此,本实施方式的广播信号发送装置具备将用于识别广播信号的信息附加到AMT、生成扩展AMT的TLV包控制信息的功能。图9是示出扩展AMT的构成规则的例子的图。图9示出的例子是用tlv_stream_id字段901替换了AMT的table_id_extension字段的例子。伴随着字段的替换,再次计算并重新设定CRC_32(Cyclic Redundancy Check 32)902的值。
还有,为了明确与以往的AMT的区别,也可以将table_id的字段(表的识别值)903的值设定为与以往的AMT的table_id的字段设定的值不相同。伴随着table_id的字段903的值的变更,再次计算并重新设定CRC_32(Cyclic Redundancy Check 32)902的值。
而且,与扩展MH-CDT的情况同样地,也可以在AMT的构成规则中增加tlv_stream_id的字段。伴随着字段的增加,再次计算并重新设定CRC_32(Cyclic Redundancy Check 32)902的值。
在该情况下,为了明确与以往的AMT的区别,也可以将table_id的字段(表的识别值)903的值设定为与以往的AMT的table_id的字段设定的值不相同。伴随着table_id的字段903的值的变更,再次计算并重新设定CRC_32(Cyclic Redundancy Check  32)902的值。
将AMT的table_id_extension字段替换为tlv_stream_id字段,由此接收到扩展AMT的接收装置能够容易地识别业务的IP传送信息或者事件ID是由哪个TLV流传送的。
如上所述,本实施方式的广播信号发送装置生成扩展MH-CDT、扩展AMT,由此能够正确处理通过IP再广播中的SI专用流发送的TLV包以及MMT的控制信息。因此,能够在MMT-TLV方式的多路复用方式下实现IP再广播。
图10是IP再发送服务中的选站时的序列例。IP再发送服务送出服务器1001、选台控制信息服务器1002、SI服务器1003设在图1的IP发送装置112中。选台控制信息服务器1002是提供用于接收IP再发送服务的选站控制信息文件的服务器。SI服务器1003是进行SI专用组播的服务器。
图10示出了IP再发送服务送出服务器1001正在将S1010所示的节目(1)流、S1011所示的节目(2)流、S1012所示的节目(3)流向IP组播网121发送的状态。另外,接收装置1005向边缘路由器1004发出S1010所示的节目(1)的观看请求,由此如S1013所示,接收由S1010发送的节目(1)流。
在这样的状态下,当接收装置1005的用户将要观看的节目从节目(1)切换为节目(2)(S1014)时,接收装置1005对边缘路由器1004进行离开(leave)当前观看中的节目(1)的频道对应的组播地址的请求(S1015)。然后,接收装置1005进行加入(join)切换目的地的节目(2)的频道对应的组播地址的请求(S1016)。
由此,边缘路由器1004对接收装置1005发送切换目的地的节目(2)流、即S1011的流(S1017)。由此,接收装置1005能够将节目(2)流显示于接收装置1005的显示画面(S1018)。
通过这种频道切换,能够同时接收例如在节目(2)流中多路复用的TLV包以及MMT的控制信息。另外,通过这种频道切换,也存在例如通过频道切换在SI专用组播中也需要接收TLV包以及MMT的控制信息的情况。
图11是在IP再发送服务中的SI专用组播中接收TLV包以及MMT的控制信息的情况的序列例。与图10同样地,IP再发送服务送出服务器1001将S1110所示的节目(1)流、S1111所示的节目(2)流、S1112所示的节目(3)流向IP组播网121发送。
在接收装置1005通过SI专用组播接收TLV包以及MMT的控制信息的情况下, 接收装置1005从选台控制信息服务器1002获取SI专用组播的访问目的地信息(组播地址)(S1113)。接收装置1005使用获取到的访问目的地信息,进行加入(join)SI专用组播的组播地址的请求(S1114)。
由此,SI专用组播S1115从SI服务器1003发送到边缘路由器1004,再从边缘路由器发送到接收装置1005(S1116)。由此,接收装置1005能够获取SI专用组播。
接收装置1005在接收SI专用组播后,进行离开(leave)SI专用组播的组播地址的请求(S1116)。在接收到SI专用组播的接收装置1005中,从所接收到的SI专用组播中提取所需要的TLV包以及MMT的控制信息。接收装置1005,如上所述,能够使用用于识别原先被多路复用的广播信号的流的信息,提取所需要的TLV包以及MMT的控制信息。
