Provided is a server device including one or more processors including hardware, in which the one or more processors acquire pieces of meta information of a plurality of players, use the pieces of meta information of the plurality of players to generate a plurality of groups with different play styles, acquire meta information of a user who is playing a game, use the meta information of the user to identify a corresponding one of the groups to which the user belongs, and provide the user with information concerning the group to which the user belongs.

The present technique relates to a data processing apparatus and a data processing method each of which enables a burden imposed on processing on a reception side to be reduced. A data processing apparatus produces signaling containing a Null cell number exhibiting the number of Null cells of cells of a sub-frame included in a physical layer frame, and processes the signaling so as for the signaling to be contained in a preamble of the physical layer frame, thereby enabling a burden imposed on processing on a reception side to be reduced. The present technique, for example, can be applied to data transmission complying with the broadcasting standards such as ATSC3.0.

Data processing apparatus and data processing method

A communication apparatus performs communication while suppressing an increase in power consumption. The communication apparatus includes a periodic signal generating unit, a clocking unit, a multiplication unit, and a communication processing unit. The periodic signal generating unit generates a predetermined periodic signal. The clocking unit clocks time in synchronization with the predetermined periodic signal generated by a frequency signal generating unit. The multiplication unit multiplies the predetermined periodic signal generated by the frequency signal generating unit to supply the signal as a multiplied signal. The communication processing unit performs predetermined communication processing in synchronization with the multiplied signal generated by the multiplication unit.

A position data acquiring unitacquires position data indicating a position of a real object. A delay deriving unitderives delay time in an information processing system. A motion predicting unitpredicts a movement of the object, and identifies an object position at a future time on the basis of the position data acquired by the position data acquiring unit, the predetermined length of time being equal to or longer than the delay time.

The present technique relates to signal processing apparatus and method that can reduce power consumption. A receiver that receives a broadcast signal includes a demodulation unit that demodulates the broadcast signal, and a reception control unit that controls the demodulation by the demodulation unit. In a section not including PLPs to be received in the broadcast signal, the reception control unit controls the demodulation unit to stop the demodulation by the demodulation unit on the basis of subframes or OFDM symbols. The present technique can be applied to a receiver.

A method for signaling preamble structure parameters. The method includes generating a bootstrap symbol that signals a single 8-bit preamble structure value. The single 8-bit preamble structure value identifies four different preamble structure parameters of a preamble that follows the bootstrap symbol. The method further includes generating a transmission frame including the bootstrap symbol, the preamble, and a data payload, and outputting the transmission frame for transmission via a terrestrial broadcast. The single 8-bit preamble structure value is limited to signaling a subset of different combinations of the four different preamble structure parameters.

An arrangement for detecting signaling data from bootstrap Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexed (OFDM) symbols in the frequency domain, which can provide a more accurate estimate of the signaling data than other arrangements that operate in the time domain. The arrangement includes detecting a cyclic shift of a signature sequence, which has been applied to represent the signaling data, as an average phase change between each of the sub-carriers of the bootstrap OFDM symbol. As a result the signaling data can be more accurately detected or detected at lower signal to noise ratio.
