Abstract

Provided is a configuration that permits confirmation of emergency information viewing results on a reception apparatus, an endpoint of emergency information such as TV. A data processing section of a reception apparatus such as TV that receives and outputs emergency information generates an emergency information viewing result report that contains a record of emergency information viewing result information and sends the generated emergency information viewing result report to a management server and so on. The data processing section generates an emergency information viewing result report that contains a record of an identifier of emergency information output by the reception apparatus and emergency information output time information in accordance with a CDM (Consumption Data Message) format. The CDM keeps a record of not only emergency information output time information but also reception apparatus position information, emergency information sender information, and so on.
