An information processing system, comprising: circuitry configured to receive a broadcast; acquire a first application information table via a communication network (200, 600), the first application information table storing at least first usage permission information indicating a first usage permission range of a broadcast resource corresponding to a broadcast station by an application when using the broadcast resource, said first usage permission information including a first permission bitmap for determining availability of access to the broadcast resource upon an access request by the application; store the first permission bitmap in memory; acquire a second application information table via the broadcast network, different from the communication network, to control the operation of the application, the second application information table storing at least second usage permission information indicating a second usage permission range of the broadcast resource by the application during execution of the application, said second usage permission information including a second permission bitmap for determining availability of access to the broadcast resource upon an access request by the application; and acquire the application based on information of the first application information table and activate the acquired application, wherein, when a difference is detected as a result of comparing the first permission bitmap to the second permission bitmap, the circuitry switches from the first usage permission information to the second usage permission information to control a usage range of the broadcast resource by the application, and wherein information on a behavior of the information processing system at the time of a permission error is included in the first permission bitmap or in both permission bitmaps, the information on the behavior at the time of a permission error specifying one of (i) hiding display of the application, (ii) hiding display of a video of a broadcast resource, and (iii) hiding display of the application and suspending the operation of the application. circuitry configured to receive a broadcast; acquire a first application information table via a communication network (200, 600), the first application information table storing at least first usage permission information indicating a first usage permission range of a broadcast resource corresponding to a broadcast station by an application when using the broadcast resource, said first usage permission information including a first permission bitmap for determining availability of access to the broadcast resource upon an access request by the application; store the first permission bitmap in memory; acquire a second application information table via the broadcast network, different from the communication network, to control the operation of the application, the second application information table storing at least second usage permission information indicating a second usage permission range of the broadcast resource by the application during execution of the application, said second usage permission information including a second permission bitmap for determining availability of access to the broadcast resource upon an access request by the application; and acquire the application based on information of the first application information table and activate the acquired application, wherein, when a difference is detected as a result of comparing the first permission bitmap to the second permission bitmap, the circuitry switches from the first usage permission information to the second usage permission information to control a usage range of the broadcast resource by the application, and wherein information on a behavior of the information processing system at the time of a permission error is included in the first permission bitmap or in both permission bitmaps, the information on the behavior at the time of a permission error specifying one of (i) hiding display of the application, (ii) hiding display of a video of a broadcast resource, and (iii) hiding display of the application and suspending the operation of the application.
