Patent ID: 10615895

Abstract:
The present technology relates to a transmitting apparatus, a transmitting method, a receiving apparatus, and a receiving method that facilitate tuning setting.A transmitting apparatus generates and transmits transmission data including an index in data of a physical layer, the index being associated with predetermined processing-related information in a relation table in which processing-related information related to setting processing of tuning on a receiving side is registered in association with an index representing a region to be subjected to the setting processing corresponding to the processing-related information and provided as being included in data of an upper layer higher than the physical layer. A receiving apparatus acquires the relation table, while receiving the transmission data, and acquires the index included in the data of the physical layer from the transmission data. Then, the receiving apparatus executes setting processing corresponding to the processing-related information associated with the index included in the data of the physical layer in the relation table. The present technology can be applied to, for example, setting of tuning, such as television broadcasting.
