Reception device, reception method, and program

1. A reception device comprising:

circuitry coupled to a memory and configured to:

acquire station information regarding a station transmitting a broadcasting wave of broadcasting on an arbitrary segment;

store the station information;

select a station transmitting a broadcasting wave that is receivable at a predetermined position as a tunable station to be tuned to using the station information;

specify a transmission frequency used at a transmission point of a broadcasting wave of the broadcasting performed by the tunable station using the station information; and

perform tuning control to tune to the transmission frequency such that a service of the broadcasting performed by the tunable station is received by a mobile station at the predetermined position.

2. The reception device according to claim 1 , wherein the circuitry coupled to the memory is further configured to:

acquire frequency information regarding frequencies for transmission of respective transmission points of a broadcasting wave of the broadcasting,

wherein the circuitry specifies the transmission frequency from frequencies for transmission of respective transmission points designated using the frequency information based on frequency specification information for specifying the transmission frequency included in the station information.

3. The reception device according to claim 2 , wherein the broadcasting wave of the broadcasting is transmitted on a multi-frequency network (MFN) via a relay station.

4. The reception device according to claim 3 , wherein the station information is arranged in an area broadcasting descriptor included in a network information table (NIT) transmitted by a broadcasting wave of the broadcasting, and wherein the frequency information is arranged in a terrestrial delivery system descriptor included in the NIT.

5. The reception device according to claim 1 , wherein the circuitry selects a station transmitting the broadcasting that is receivable in an area that a user selects as the tunable station using the station information.

6. The reception device according to claim 1 , wherein the circuitry causes information of the tunable station to be displayed, and causes a service of the broadcasting performed by a station that a user selects to be tuned to from the display of the information of the tunable station.

7. The reception device according to claim 1 , wherein the circuitry performs checking of reception to check whether or not the broadcasting by the tunable station is receivable, and causes information of only the tunable station of which reception of broadcasting was able to be checked to be displayed.

8. The reception device according to claim 1 , wherein the broadcasting is one-segment broadcasting.

9. A reception method performed by a reception device, the method comprising the steps of:

acquiring, with circuitry, station information regarding a station transmitting a broadcasting wave of broadcasting on an arbitrary segment;

storing, with the circuitry, the station information;

selecting, with the circuitry, a station transmitting a broadcasting wave that is receivable at a predetermined position as a tunable station to be tuned to using the station information;

specifying, with the circuitry, a transmission frequency used at a transmission point of a broadcasting wave of the broadcasting performed by the tunable station using the station information; and

performing tuning control to tune to the transmission frequency such that a service of the broadcasting performed by the tunable station is received by a mobile station at the predetermined position.

10. A non-transitory computer-readable medium encoded with computer-readable instructions that, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform a method comprising:

acquiring station information regarding a station transmitting a broadcasting wave of broadcasting on an arbitrary segment;

storing the station information;

selecting a station transmitting a broadcasting wave that is receivable at a predetermined position as a tunable station to be tuned to using the station information;

specifying a transmission frequency used at a transmission point of a broadcasting wave of the broadcasting performed by the tunable station using the station information; and

controlling tuning to the transmission frequency such that a service of the broadcasting performed by the tunable station is received by a mobile station at the predetermined location.
