RECEIVING APPARATUS AND METHOD, TRANSMISSION APPARATUS AND METHOD, AND PROGRAM

摘要

The present invention relates to a receiving device and method, transmitting device and method, and program that allow widening of the opportunity for download reservation of AV content. A trigger detector detects trigger information transmitted together with AV content. An application engine acquires an application program for allowing selection of AV content for which download reservation is possible and that is transmitted in non-real time based on the trigger information. A tentative reservation registering part registers AV content selected based on the application program as tentative reservation. A definitive reservation registering part registers the tentatively reserved AV content as definitive reservation if the identifier of downloadable AV content included in download information periodically transmitted together with AV content is identical to the identifier of the tentatively reserved AV content. The present invention can be applied to the case in which data broadcasting is realized in the United States and so forth for example.
