Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a data processing device, a receiving device, a data processing method, and a program capable of suppressing degradation in quality in a case of reproducing data. In one example, a packet selection units selects one service stream from a multiplexed stream obtained by multiplexing a plurality of service streams. An insertion unit inserts null packets with time information, in which predetermined time information has been given to payloads, to spaces that become empty when the packet selection unit generates the one service stream. Thereafter, in the streams which have been demultiplexed after being multiplexed, the timing to output the null packets is adjusted with reference to the time information inserted in-to the null packets.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A data processing device comprising:
one or more packet selection units that generate one service stream of a plurality of service streams by selecting packets configuring the one service stream from a multiplexed stream obtained by multiplexing the plurality of service streams;
one or more insertion units that insert null packets with time information, in which predetermined time information has been given to payloads, to spaces that become empty when the one or more packet selection units generate the one service stream;
a multiplexer that multiplexes a predetermined number of streams in which the null packets with time information have been inserted by the one or more insertion units;
a demultiplexer that demultiplexes the stream multiplexed by the multiplexer into the predetermined number of streams; and
one or more output timing adjusting units that adjust a timing to output the null packets with reference to the time information inserted into the null packets.

2. The data processing device according to claim 1 , wherein a predetermined number of the output timing adjusting units are provided after the demultiplexer.

3. The data processing device according to claim 1 , wherein only one of the output timing adjusting units is provided before the demultiplexer.

4. The data processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the insertion units detect packets having information on timing for reproduction included in an original stream, trace back the time axis from the detected packets, and insert the null packets with time information into the nearest empty spaces.

5. The data processing device according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a clock generation unit that supplies time information generated with a fixed clock to the insertion units and the output timing adjusting units.

6. A receiving device comprising:
the data processing device according to claim 1 ;
a demodulation unit that demodulates broadcast waves and acquires the multiplexed stream; and
a decoding unit that decodes video and audio included in output from the output timing adjusting unit.

7. A data processing method comprising the steps of:
generating one service stream of a plurality of service streams by selecting packets configuring the one service stream from a multiplexed stream obtained by multiplexing the plurality of service streams;
inserting null packets with time information, in which predetermined time information has been given to payloads, to spaces that become empty when the one service stream is generated;
multiplexing a predetermined number of streams in which the null packets with time information have been inserted;
demultiplexing the multiplexed stream into the predetermined number of streams; and
adjusting a timing to output the null packets with reference to the time information given to the null packets.

8. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program that is executable by a computer to perform operations comprising:
generating one service stream of a plurality of service streams by selecting packets configuring the one service stream from a multiplexed stream obtained by multiplexing the plurality of service streams;
inserting null packets with time information, in which predetermined time information has been given to payloads, to spaces that become empty when the one service stream is generated;
multiplexing a predetermined number of streams in which the null packets with time information have been inserted;
demultiplexing the multiplexed stream into the predetermined number of streams; and
adjusting a timing to output the null packets with reference to the time information given to the null packets.

9. A data processing device comprising:
packet selection circuitry configured to generate one service stream of a plurality of service streams by selecting packets configuring the one service stream from a multiplexed stream obtained by multiplexing the plurality of service streams;
insertion circuitry configured to insert null packets with time information, in which predetermined time information has been given to payloads, to spaces that become empty when the packet selection circuitry generates the one service stream;
a multiplexer that multiplexes a predetermined number of streams in which the null packets with time information have been inserted by the one or more insertion units;
a demultiplexer that demultiplexes the stream multiplexed by the multiplexer into the predetermined number of streams; and
output timing adjusting circuitry configured to adjust a timing to output the null packets with reference to the time information inserted into the null packets.

10. The data processing device according to claim 9 , wherein the insertion circuitry detects packets having information on timing for reproduction included in an original stream, trace back the time axis from the detected packets, and insert the null packets with time information into the nearest empty spaces.

11. The data processing device according to claim 9 , further comprising:
clock generation circuitry configured to supply time information generated with a fixed clock to the insertion circuitry and the output timing adjusting circuitry.
