Terminal apparatus, server apparatus, information processing method, program, and linking application supply system
First Claim
1. A reception apparatus comprising:
- circuitry configured tooutput content for display to a user;
extract signature data from the content based on a watermark embedded in, or a finger print of, the content that is output for display to the user;
generate a query based on the signature data, the query including an extraction time of the signature data;
transmit the generated query to a server apparatus;
receive a response to the generated query from the server apparatus, the response to the generated query including a data structure that includes both an application URL (Uniform Resource Locator) and content reproduction time information;
obtain an application based on the application URL and the content reproduction time information; and
execute the application in synchronization with the display of the content.

Abstract
To execute applications in link with the progression of content being viewed at user'"'"'s home.
A terminal apparatus practiced as one embodiment of the present disclosure has an extracting block configured to extract signature data indicative of features of content to be reproduced, a query generating block configured to generate a query that at least includes the above-mentioned extracted signature, a communication block configured to transmit the above-mentioned generated query to a server apparatus and receive a response returned by this server in response to the above-mentioned response, and an application executing block configured to obtain an application on the basis of an application URL (Uniform Resource Locator) in which at least application identification information is written, this URL being included in the above-mentioned received response, and execute the obtained application. The above-mentioned terminal apparatus practiced as one embodiment of the invention is applicable to TV receivers.
