Transmission apapratus, transmission method, reception apparatus, reception method, program, and broadcasting system
Disclosed herein is a transmission apparatus for transmitting AV (Audio/Video) content, including: an acquirer configured to acquire an estimated number of audience terminals indicative of an estimated number of reception apparatuses receiving the AV content; a computer configured, in conjugation with the AV content, to compute, on the basis of the estimated number of audience terminals, a validity probability of trigger information associated with control of an application program to be executed in the reception apparatus; a generator configured to generate the trigger signal including the computed validity probability; and a transmitter configured to transmit the generated trigger information with the AV content.
1. A reception apparatus, comprising:
circuitry configured to
receive at least one of multiple instances of data acquisition information including validity information and location information to access data on a server, wherein the multiple instances of the data acquisition information are transmitted via a broadcast signal with audio/video content and each of the multiple instances includes the same location information,
determine whether or not to access the data on the server based on the validity information included in the received at least one of the multiple instances of the data acquisition information, and
retrieve the data from the server based on the location information included in the received at least one of the multiple instances of the data acquisition information when the data on the server is determined to be accessed based on the validity information included in the at least one of the multiple instances of the data acquisition information.
2. The reception apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the data retrieved from the server is an application program.
3. The reception apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
the location information corresponds to a URL to access the data.
4. The reception apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
each of the multiple instances of the data acquisition information includes same validity information.
5. The reception apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
each of the multiple instances of the data acquisition information includes different validity information.
6. A method for retrieving data, the method comprising:
receiving, by circuitry of a reception apparatus, at least one of multiple instances of data acquisition information including validity information and location information to access the data on a server, wherein the multiple instances of the data acquisition information are transmitted via a broadcast signal with audio/video content and each of the multiple instances includes the same location information;
determining, by the circuitry, whether or not to access the data on the server based on the validity information included in the received at least one of the multiple instances of the data acquisition information; and
retrieving, by the circuitry, the data from the server based on the location information included in the received at least one of the multiple instances of the data acquisition information when the data on the server is determined to be accessed based on the validity information included in the at least one of the multiple instances of the data acquisition information.
7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the data retrieved from the server is an application program.
8. The method according to claim 6 , wherein
the location information corresponds to a URL to access the data.
9. The method according to claim 6 , wherein
each of the multiple instances of the data acquisition information includes same validity information.
10. The method according to claim 6 , wherein
each of the multiple instances of the data acquisition information includes different validity information.
11. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a program which when executed by a computer causes the computer to perform a method for retrieving data, the method comprising:
receiving at least one of multiple instances of data acquisition information including validity information and location information to access the data on a server, wherein the multiple instances of the data acquisition information are transmitted via a broadcast signal with audio/video content and each of the multiple instances includes the same location information;
determining whether or not to access the data on the server based on the validity information included in the received at least one of the multiple instances of the data acquisition information; and
retrieving the data from the server based on the location information included in the received at least one of the multiple instances of the data acquisition information when the data on the server is determined to be accessed based on the validity information included in the at least one of the multiple instances of the data acquisition information.
12. The reception apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is configured to receive a broadcast signal including the at least one of the multiple instances of the data acquisition information.
13. The method according to claim 6 , further comprising:
receiving a broadcast signal including the at least one of the multiple instances of the data acquisition information.
14. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 11 , the method further comprising:
receiving a broadcast signal including the at least one of the multiple instances of the data acquisition information.
15. The reception apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the validity information is an integer value.
16. The reception apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the multiple instances of the data acquisition information are encoded within same lines of a plurality of different video frames of the audio/video content.
17. The reception apparatus according to claim 16 , wherein the circuitry is configured to determine whether or not to access the data based on the lines of at least two of the plurality of different video frames of the audio/video content in which the multiple instances of the data acquisition information is encoded.
