Abstract

Provided is a receiving apparatus, including: a stream receiver unit configured to receive a broadcast transport stream; a partial-transport-stream recorder configured to create a partial transport stream from the received broadcast transport stream, and to record the partial transport stream in a recording medium; an event generating section configured to generate an event, the event relating to the received broadcast transport stream; and a private-descriptor inserting section configured to create a private descriptor, the private descriptor being information on the generated event, and to insert the private descriptor in a section of the partial transport stream.

Claims (37)

1. A receiving apparatus, comprising:

a stream receiver unit configured to receive a broadcast transport stream;

a partial-transport-stream recorder configured

to create a partial transport stream from the received broadcast transport stream, and

to record the partial transport stream in a recording medium;

an event generating section configured to generate an event, the event relating to the received broadcast transport stream and the event being one of a number of events; and

a private-descriptor inserting section configured

to create a private descriptor, the private descriptor being information on the generated event, and

to insert the private descriptor in a section of the partial transport stream,

in which one said event pertains to a bookmark specified by a user, and

in which the private-descriptor inserting section is configured to create a respective private descriptor being bookmark information on the specified bookmark and to enable the bookmark information to be changed after creation of the partial transport stream.

2. The receiving apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the event generating section is a conditional access module, the event generating section being configured to generate the event in a case where the received broadcast transport stream is parental-controlled, and

the private-descriptor inserting section is configured to create the private descriptor, information on the event being stored in the private descriptor, the information on the event being information on a parental control of the parental-controlled broadcast transport stream.

3. The receiving apparatus according to claim 2 , further comprising

a reproduction controller configured to output information on the parental control to the conditional access module, the parental control being detected when reproducing the partial transport stream recorded in the recording medium.

4. The receiving apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the private-descriptor inserting section is configured

to record an entity of the information on the event in the recording medium, and

to store reference information in the private descriptor, the reference information being used to refer to an entity of the information on the event.

5. A receiving method, comprising:

receiving, by a stream receiver unit, a broadcast transport stream;

generating, by an event generating section, an event, the event relating to the received broadcast transport stream to be reproduced and the event being one of a number of events;

creating, by a partial-transport-stream recorder, a partial transport stream from the broadcast transport stream, and recording the partial transport stream in a recording medium; and

creating, by a private-descriptor inserting section, a private descriptor, information on the generated event being stored in the private descriptor, and inserting the private descriptor in a section of the partial transport stream, the partial transport stream being recorded in the recording medium,

in which one said event pertains to a bookmark specified by a user, and

in which the private-descriptor inserting section is configured to create a respective private descriptor being bookmark information on the specified bookmark and to enable the bookmark information to be changed after creation of the partial transport stream.

6. A non-transitory computer readable memory having stored thereon a program, causing a computer to function as:

a stream receiver unit configured to receive a broadcast transport stream;

a partial-transport-stream recorder configured

to create a partial transport stream from the received broadcast transport stream, and

to record the partial transport stream in a recording medium; and

a private-descriptor inserting section configured

to create a private descriptor, the private descriptor being information on an event generated by an event generating section, the event generating section being configured to generating an event, the event relating to the received broadcast transport stream and the event being one of a number of events, and

to insert the private descriptor in a section of the partial transport stream,

in which one said event pertains to a bookmark specified by a user, and

in which the private-descriptor inserting section is configured to create a respective private descriptor being bookmark information on the specified bookmark and to enable the bookmark information to be changed after creation of the partial transport stream.
