RECEPTION DEVICE, RECEPTION METHOD, PROGRAM, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM.

摘要

The present technology relates to a reception device, reception method, program and information processing system whereby it is possible to change over contents using a contents identification technique. A reception section receives broadcast contents. A characteristic quantities extraction section extracts characteristic quantities from data of the received broadcast contents. An identification result acquisition section acquires the results of identification of the broadcast contents identified using the extracted characteristic quantities. A command acquisition section acquires a video switching command for controlling operation to perform changeover of broadcast contents and delivered contents in accordance with the identification result that has thus been obtained. A control section controls the operation of changing over to the delivered contents from the broadcast contents in accordance with the video switching command that has thus been acquired. This technique can be applied for example to a digital television receiver that receives a digital television broadcast signal.
