1. A transmission apparatus comprising:

  • content recognition circuitry configured to;

    generate and store reference data including at least signature data, a content identifier and timeline data, the signature data including features of content that is reproduced on a reception apparatus and the signature data being generated from the content, the content identifier identifying the content from which the signature data is generated, the timeline data including at least an application identifier and reproduction time information, the application identifier identifying an application to be executed in coordination with the content, and the reproduction time information including an execution timing of the application and a progression time for reproducing the content at a time of generating the signature data, the progression time represented by an elapsed time amount from a beginning of the content;

    in response to a query transmitted from the reception apparatus, recognize content from which signature data included in the query is extracted, based on the reference data;

    generate a response including a content identifier of the recognized content and the timeline data, the timeline data including the application identifier of an application to be executed in coordination with the progression time of the recognized content; and

    return the generated response to the reception apparatus, and timeline data generation circuitry configured to;

    generate the timeline data; and

    collectively supply the generated timeline data to the content recognition circuitry, the generated timeline data being common to the content recognition circuitry.
