Transmission apparatus, information processing method, program, reception apparatus, and application-coordinated system

摘要

Disclosed herein is a transmission apparatus including: at least one content recognition section; and a timeline data generation section. The content recognition section has a database block configured to store reference data including at least signature data and a content identifier, and timeline data including at least an application identifier and timeline information. The content recognition section further has a response generation block configured to recognize content from which signature data included in a query, generate a response including the timeline data including a content identifier and the application identifier, and return the generated response to the reception apparatus. The timeline data generation section is configured to generate the timeline data and collectively supply the generated timeline data to the at least one content recognition section, the generated timeline data being common to the at least one content recognition section.

1. A transmission apparatus comprising:
content recognition circuitry configured to:
generate and store reference data including at least signature data, a content identifier and timeline data, the signature data including features of content that is reproduced on a reception apparatus and the signature data being generated from the content, the content identifier identifying the content from which the signature data is generated, the timeline data including at least an application identifier and reproduction time information, the application identifier identifying an application to be executed in coordination with the content, and the reproduction time information including an execution timing of the application and a progression time for reproducing the content at a time of generating the signature data, the progression time represented by an elapsed time amount from a beginning of the content;in response to a query transmitted from the reception apparatus, recognize content from which signature data included in the query is extracted, based on the reference data;generate a response including a content identifier of the recognized content and the timeline data, the timeline data including the application identifier of an application to be executed in coordination with the progression time of the recognized content; andreturn the generated response to the reception apparatus, and timeline data generation circuitry configured to:generate the timeline data; andcollectively supply the generated timeline data to the content recognition circuitry, the generated timeline data being common to the content recognition circuitry.
