First Claim
1. A transmission method for enabling transmission of content using a broadcast wave and a communication channel, the transmission method comprising:
- generating a first content data and a second content data in a format in accordance with an MPEG Media Transport (MMT) standard;
transmitting auxiliary information using at least the broadcast wave, the auxiliary information being information for synchronizing the first content data and the second content data;
hybrid-transmitting the first content data and the second content data, the first content data being transmitted using the broadcast wave and the second content data being transmitted using the communication channel so that the first content data and the second content data constitute the content, and when the content is hybrid-transmitted using the broadcast wave and the communication channel, the auxiliary information causing a reception side to perform the synchronization when the reception side receives the auxiliary information;
wherein, in the transmitting of the auxiliary information, the auxiliary information includes attribute information indicating that the first content data and the second content data constitute the content and difference information between a reference clock of the content transmitted using the broadcast wave and a reference clock of the content transmitted using the communication channel,the first content data and the second content data are (i) identical video and audio data each indicating the content, or (ii) video data, audio data, or video and audio data that constitute the content, andthe hybrid-transmitting of the first content and the second content is in the format in accordance with the MMT standard.

Abstract
According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a transmission method for enabling transmission of content using a broadcast wave and a communication channel includes: transmitting auxiliary information using at least the broadcast wave, the auxiliary information being information for synchronizing content transmission using the broadcast wave and content transmission using the communication channel when the content is transmitted using the broadcast wave and the communication channel, and the auxiliary information causing a reception side to perform the synchronization when the reception side receives the auxiliary information. Therefore, even if timing of starting reception of the content through the communication is delayed, the reception side can play back the content by a combination of the broadcasting and the communication.

5. A reception method comprising:
-
receiving content hybrid-transmitted as first content data transmitted using a broadcast wave and a second content data transmitted using a communication channel, the content being generated and hybrid-transmitted in a format in accordance with an MPEG Media Transport (MMT) standard; and playing back the content transmitted using the broadcast wave and the content transmitted using the communication channel by synchronizing the first content data transmitted using the broadcast wave and the second content data transmitted using the communication channel so that the first content data and the second content data constitute the content, when auxiliary information for synchronizing the content transmitted using the broadcast wave and the content transmitted using the communication channel is received, wherein, in the playback of the content, the content is played back while the synchronization is performed through synchronization of the reference clock of the content transmitted using the communication channel with the reference clock of the content transmitted using the broadcast wave based on the difference information, when the auxiliary information including attribute information indicating that the first content data and the second content data constitute the content and difference information between a reference clock of the content transmitted using the broadcast wave and a reference clock of the content transmitted using the communication channel is received in the receiving step, the reference clock of the content transmission using the broadcast wave differs from the reference clock of the content transmission using the communication channel, and the first content data and the second content data are (i) identical data each indicating the content, or (ii) video data, audio data, or video and audio data that constitute the content. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7)
