TRIGGER COMPACTION
First Claim
1. A method of a reception apparatus for processing one or more triggers associated with audio/video (A/V) content, the method comprising:
- receiving by the reception apparatus the A/V content;
receiving a first trigger associated with the received A/V content; and
retrieving by the reception apparatus a trigger parameters table (TPT), associated with the A/V content, from a TPT server identified in the received first trigger, the TPT defining at least one event associated with the A/V content and defining, for each of the at least one event, a parameter used to perform a process and corresponding to the respective event.

Abstract
A method, non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, and reception apparatus for processing one or more triggers associated with audio/video (A/V) content, and an information providing apparatus for providing the one or more triggers. The method includes receiving by the reception apparatus the A/V content and a first trigger associated with the received A/V content. Further, the reception apparatus retrieves a trigger parameters table (TPT), associated with the A/V content, from a TPT server identified in the received first trigger. The TPT defines at least one event associated with the A/V content and defines, for each of the at least one event, a parameter used to perform a process and corresponding to the respective event.

10. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program which when executed by a computer causes the computer to perform a method of a reception apparatus for processing one or more triggers associated with audio/video (A/V) content, the method comprising:
-
receiving by the reception apparatus the A/V content; receiving a first trigger associated with the received A/V content; and retrieving by the reception apparatus a trigger parameters table (TPT), associated with the A/V content, from a TPT server identified in the received first trigger, the TPT defining at least one event associated with the A/V content and defining, for each of the at least one event, a parameter used to perform a process and corresponding to the respective event.

11. A reception apparatus, comprising:
-
a first receiver configured to receive audio/video (A/V) content; a second receiver configured to receive a first trigger associated with the received A/V content; and a processor configured to retrieve a trigger parameters table (TPT), associated with the A/V content, from a TPT server identified in the received first trigger, the TPT defining at least one event associated with the A/V content and defining, for each of the at least one event, a parameter used to perform a process and corresponding to the respective event. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. An information providing apparatus, comprising:
-
a controller configured to retrieve and/or generate a plurality of triggers, the plurality of triggers including two or more of a first trigger that includes a current media time of audio/video (A/V) content to be received by a reception apparatus, a second trigger that includes an identifier of a triggered parameters table (TPT) event corresponding to a parameter to be used by the reception apparatus to perform a process when the second trigger is received by the reception apparatus, and a third trigger that includes an event time and an identifier of a TPT event that is to be executed when an elapsed media time of the A/V content received by the reception apparatus is equal to the event time; and a communication unit configured to provide the plurality of triggers to the reception apparatus, the communication unit being one of a satellite broadcast transmitter, a cable television transmitter, a terrestrial television broadcast transmitter, and a network interface card.
