1. A method of a reception apparatus for processing a trigger, comprising:
- receiving content included in a transport stream from a content source, the transport stream including a trigger associated with the content;
retrieving the trigger from the transport stream, the trigger including a resource location of a trigger parameters table (TPT);
retrieving the TPT based on the resource location in the trigger; and
executing an interactive event corresponding to the received content based on the retrieved trigger and the retrieved TPT, wherein timing of the execution of the interactive event is indicated in at least one of the retrieved trigger and the retrieved TPT.

Abstract
Reception apparatus, method, computer-readable storage medium, and information providing apparatus for a trigger. The reception apparatus includes a tuner/demodulator and a processor. The tuner/demodulator is configured to receive content included in a transport stream from a content source. The transport stream includes a trigger associated with the content and references information included in the transport stream. The processor is configured to retrieve the trigger from the transport stream, and to retrieve the information from the transport stream based on the reference in the trigger.
