Reception device, reception method, transmission device, and transmission method

Abstract

A reception device is provided that comprises a tuner and processing circuitry in which the tuner is configured to receive a digital broadcast signal based on an Internet Protocol (IP) transmission scheme. The processing circuitry is configured to store preference information of a user, and extract, from the digital broadcast signal, a signaling packet that includes a service table including tuning information and bootstrap information for accessing service signaling information. The processing circuitry is further configured to acquire the service signaling information based on the bootstrap information, parse the service signaling information to obtain another preference information associated with a file in the broadcast signal in which the second preference information indicating a preference set by a provider, determine whether the first preference information stored matches the second preference information obtained by parsing the service signaling information, and in response to the preference information being determined as matching the another preference information, acquire the file from the digital broadcast signal.
