Sony patents TV signal method that syncs video timing with data packets

1. A reception apparatus, comprising: first reception circuitry configured to receive first clock information, the first clock information being information for obtaining at least one of a decoding time and a presentation time, said at least one of the decoding time and the presentation time corresponding to the first reception circuitry; second reception circuitry configured to receive a transport stream via an RF transmission path, the transport stream comprising a first transport packet including media data and a second transport packet including control information, each of the first transport packet and the second transport packet comprising a first header portion and a first payload portion, wherein the first payload portion of each of the first transport packet and the second transport packet comprises a second header portion and a second payload portion, the second header portion of each of the first payload portion of the first transport packet and the second transport packet includes a fragmentation indicator, the fragmentation indicator being configured to indicate whether (i) the second payload portion corresponding to the respective second header portion includes a non-fragmented data or (ii) the second payload portion corresponding to the respective second header portion includes a fragmented data, and a value of a presentation time of the media data included in the first transport packet is included in the control information included in the second transport packet; and processing circuitry configured to: set a clock based on the first clock information; and process the media data extracted from the transport stream based on the value of the presentation time, wherein the second header portion of the first payload portion of the first transport packet further includes a type information field, the type information field is configured to indicate the second payload portion corresponding to the second header portion corresponds to the media data, the processing circuitry is further configured to process the transport stream based on the fragmentation indicator and the type information field, the value of the presentation time is inserted into the second payload portion of the second transport packet.
