Abstract

This technology relates to a transmitting device, a transmitting method, a receiving device, and a receiving method capable of easily obtaining a mosaic screen. Metadata described by using an attribute and an attribute value, the metadata of content including signaling information indicating that video is thumbnail video suitable for forming the mosaic screen and the attribute indicating minimum buffer time required before replay of the content starts is delivered. This technology may be applied when the content is delivered, for example.

Claims (81)

a memory configured to store metadata of content, the metadata included in a Media Presentation Description (MPD) of Moving Picture Experts Group-Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (MPEG-DASH) and a User Service Description (USD) of Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (MBMS); and

circuitry configured to deliver the metadata including signaling information indicating that video is thumbnail video suitable for forming a mosaic screen, the signaling information being included in a MPD/Period/AdaptiveSet/ViewPoint@schemeIdURI attribute of the MPD or in a /@r7 serviceClass attribute in the USD,

wherein the MPD includes

an MPD element as a root element,

air MPD/@profiles attribute indicating an operational profile which the MPD follows,

an MPD/Period element being information of a segment obtained by dividing the content in the time direction, and

an MPD/@minBufferTime attribute indicating a minimum buffer time required before the replay of the content starts.

2. The transmitting device according to claim 1 , wherein

the MPD includes the MPD/Period/AdaptationSet/ViewPoint/@schemeIdURI attribute.

3. A transmitting method comprising:

an MPD element as a root element,

an MPD/@profiles attribute indicating an operational profile which the MPD follows,

an MPD/Period element being information of a segment obtained by dividing the content in the time direction, and

an MPD/@minBufferTime attribute indicating a minimum buffer time required before replay of the content starts.

4. A transmitting device comprising

a memory configured to store metadata of content, the metadata included in a Media Presentation Description (MPD) of Moving Picture Experts Group-Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (MPEG-DASH) and a User Service Description (USD) of Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (MBMS); and

circuitry configured to deliver the metadata including signaling information indicating that video is thumbnail video suitable for forming a mosaic screen, the signaling information being included in a MPD/Period/AdaptationSet/ViewPoint@schemeIdURI attribute of the MPD or in a /@r7 ServiceClass attribute in the USD, wherein

the metadata includes content description metadata being an attribute in which contents of the content are described, and

the MPD includes

an MPD element as a root element,

an MPD/@profiles attribute indicating an operational profile which the MPD follows,

an MPD/Period element being information of a segment obtained by dividing the content in a time direction, and

an MPD/@minBufferTime attribute indicating a minimum buffer time required before replay of the content starts.

5. The transmitting device according to claim 4 , wherein

the metadata further includes specification of a dictionary which defines a component of the content description metadata.

6. The transmitting device according to claim 5 , wherein

the content description metadata is used iii filtering to select the thumbnail video used for forming the mosaic screen.

7. The transmitting device according to claim 6 , wherein

the content description metadata is the attribute of an MPD/Period/AdaptationSet/ViewPoint element.

8. A transmitting method comprising:

delivering, by circuitry of a transmitting device, metadata of content, the metadata included in a Media Presentation Description (MPD) of Moving Picture Experts Group-Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (MPEG-DASH) and a User Service Description (USD) of Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (MBMS), the metadata including

signaling information indicating that video is thumbnail video suitable for forming a mosaic screen, the signaling information being included in a MPD/Period/AdaptationSet/ViewPoint@schemeIdURI attribute of the MPD or in a /@r7 serviceClass attribute in the USD, wherein

the metadata includes content description metadata being an attribute in which contents of the content are described, and

the MPD includes

an MPD element as a root element,

an MPD/@profiles attribute indicating an operational profile which the MPD follows,

an MPD/Period element being information of a segment obtained by dividing the content in a time direction, and

an MPD/@minBufferTime attribute indicating a minimum buffer time required before replay of the content starts.

9. A receiving device comprising:

a memory configured to store metadata of content, the metadata included in a Media Presentation Description (MPD) of Moving Picture Experts Group-Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (MPEG-DASH) and a User Service Description (USD) of Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (MBMS); and

circuitry configured to receive the metadata including signaling information indicating that video is thumbnail video suitable for forming, a mosaic screen, the signaling information being included in a MPD/Period/AdaptationSet/ViewPoint@schemeIdURI attribute of the MPD or in a /@r7 serviceClass attribute in the USD,
