Claim:
1. A receiving device comprising: circuitry configured to: receive a stream of a content to be distributed live; analyze fragmented text information corresponding to subtitle data included in the received stream; and control display of first text information received at a first timing, the first text information including a first character string, so as to continue display of the first character string when second text information received at a second timing after the first timing, the second text information including a second character string, is displayed based on a result of the analysis, the second character string being started to be displayed temporally after the first character string is displayed, wherein the text information includes a structured document that describes the content, and a display definition document that defines a display format which is applied to the structured document, the first text information received at the first timing includes a first structured document that describes the first character string and a time indicating start of display of the first character string, and the first text information does not include a time indicating end of display of the first character string, the second text information received at the second timing after the first timing includes a second structured document that describes the second character string, the time indicating end of display of the first character string, and a time indicating start of display of the second character string, and the circuitry is configured to start display of the first character string at the time indicating the start of display of the first character string described in the first structured document received at the first timing, and later end display of the first character string at the time indicating the end of display of the first character string described in the second structured document received at the second timing after the first timing, based on a result of the analysis.
