Disclosed herein is a receiving device for receiving AV contents, the receiving device including: an obtaining section configured to obtain a description document described in a program language for displaying contents from a server present on a network connected with the receiving device; a determining section configured to determine whether the obtained the description document is obtained from a first server managed on a broadcaster side broadcasting the AV contents; and a controlling section configured to control execution of the obtained the description document according to a result of determination by the determining section.

Claims (34)

1. A receiving device for receiving AV content, the receiving device comprising:

an AV content receiving section configured to receive location information of data content corresponding to the AV content;

a communication section configured to access a server corresponding to the location information and to obtain the data content via a network;

a control section configured to execute the data content, wherein

when the data content executed by the control section is managed on a provider side, the data content is permitted to perform a specific process, and

when the data content executed by the control section is not managed on the provider side, performance of the specific process by the data content is prohibited.

2. The receiving device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

an output section configured to output video including an image of the data content superimposed on video of the AV content.

3. The receiving device according to claim 1 , wherein

the control section is configured to permit the data content to perform the specific process, or prohibit the performance of the specific process by the data content, according to a management mode set in the receiving device.

4. The receiving device according to claim 1 , wherein

the specific process is a predetermined process that needs to be prevented from being performed when the server from which the data content is obtained is not a provider server.

5. A method of a receiving device for receiving audio/video (AV) content, the method comprising:

receiving, by the receiving device, location information of data content corresponding to the AV content;

accessing, by the receiving device, a server corresponding to the location information and obtaining the data content via a network; and

executing, by the receiving device, the data content, wherein the step of executing includes

when the data content executed by the receiving device is managed on a provider side, permitting the data content to perform a specific process, and

when the data content executed by the receiving device is not managed on the provider side, prohibiting performance of the specific process by the data content.

6. The method according to claim 5 , further comprising:

outputting video including an image of the data content superimposed on video of the AV content.

7. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the step of executing comprises:

permitting the data content to perform the specific process, or prohibiting performance of the specific process by the data content, according to a management mode set in the receiving device.

8. The method according to claim 5 , wherein

the specific process is a predetermined process that needs to be prevented from being performed when the server from which the data content is obtained is not a provider server.

9. A transmitting device for transmitting audio/video (AV) content, the transmitting device comprising:

a transmitter configured to transmit, to a receiving device, location information of data content corresponding to the AV content, wherein

the location information corresponds to a server that stores the data content, the data content being managed by a provider side or not managed by the provider side,

when the data content is managed by the provider side and is executed by the receiving device, the data content is permitted to perform a specific process, and

when the data content is not managed by the provider side and is executed by the receiving device, prohibiting performance of the specific process by the data content.

10. A method of a transmitting device for transmitting audio/video (AV) content, the method comprising:

transmitting, by a transmitter of the transmitting device and to a receiving device, location information of data content corresponding to the AV content, wherein

the location information corresponds to a server that stores the data content, the data content being managed by a provider side or not managed by the provider side,

when the data content is managed by the provider side and is executed by the receiving device, the data content is permitted to perform a specific process, and

when the data content is not managed by the provider side and is executed by the receiving device, performance of the specific process by the data content is prohibited.
