FIELD: physics, computer engineering.SUBSTANCE: invention relates to hybrid broadcast broadband television (HBBTV), particularly an information processing apparatus, capable of receiving data via broadcast or over a network, as well as a data management method which is based on information defining the life cycle of data. A browser acquires, via a network, description information which includes second defining information (XML-AIT) having content equivalent to a broadcast application information table (AIT) defining a life cycle of a broadcast application while voice over data (VoD) content is reproduced after being switched from the broadcast application. The browser manages the broadcast application based on the XML-AIT and resumes the reception of the broadcast application after the reproduction of the VoD content is ended. The processing for separating two transport streams at the same time becomes unnecessary, and one demultiplexer only needs to be provided.EFFECT: realising processing for switching a reproduction state from broadcast data to network data and resuming the reproduction of the original broadcast data.6 cl, 3 dwg |
