Receiving device, receiving method, transmitting device, and transmitting method for controlling applications
First Claim
1. A receiving device comprising:
- circuitry configured toreceive broadcast content;
extract from the received broadcast content trigger information identifying a correspondence table and a command included in the identified correspondence table;
acquire the correspondence table identified in the acquired trigger information; and
execute the command identified in the trigger information and included in the acquired correspondence table by controlling operations of a predetermined application program and another application program, which is not associated with the identified command, whereinthe trigger information and the correspondence table are acquired separately.

Abstract
Disclosed herein is a receiving device including: a receiver configured to receive broadcast content; a trigger information acquirer configured to acquire trigger information for identifying a command to control an operation of an application program that is run in conjunction with the broadcast content and is delivered via a network; a correspondence table acquirer configured to acquire a correspondence table in which the command is associated with information for identifying the command; and a control section configured to control operations of a subject application program and another application program other than the subject application program in response to the command identified by the trigger information and the correspondence table.

12. A receiving method of a receiving device, the method executed by the receiving device, comprising:
-
receiving broadcast content; extracting from the received broadcast content, by circuitry of the receiving device, trigger information identifying a correspondence table and a command included in the identified correspondence table; acquiring, by the circuitry, the correspondence table identified in the acquired trigger information; and executing the command identified in the trigger information and included in the acquired correspondence table by controlling, by the circuitry, operations of a predetermined application program and another application program other than the predetermined application program, wherein the trigger information and the correspondence table are acquired separately.

13. A transmitting device comprising:
circuitry configured to generate trigger information identifying a correspondence table and a command included in the correspondence table, to control an operation of a predetermined application program that is run in conjunction with broadcast content and is delivered via a network, the trigger information causing a receiving device to acquire the correspondence table identified in the trigger information and execute the command identified in the trigger information and included in the acquired correspondence table by controlling operations of the predetermined application program and another application program, which is not associated with the command, in direct response to the same command identified by the trigger information and in the correspondence table; and transmit the trigger information together with the broadcast content.
-
14. A transmitting method of a transmitting device, the method executed by the transmitting device, comprising:
-
generating, by circuitry of the transmitting device, trigger information identifying a correspondence table and a command included in the correspondence table, to control an operation of a predetermined application program that is run in conjunction with broadcast content and is delivered via a network, the trigger information causing a receiving device to acquire the correspondence table identified in the trigger information and execute the command identified in the trigger information and included in the acquired correspondence table by controlling operations of the predetermined application program and another application program, which is not associated with the command, in direct response to the same command identified by the trigger information and in the correspondence table; and transmitting, by the circuitry, the trigger information together with the broadcast content.
