ABSTRACT:
An information processing system includes a receiving apparatus receiving a broadcast signal; and a data generating unit creating notice information relating to download for update data multiplexed with the broadcast signal for transmission and updating software in the receiving apparatus. The data generating unit includes a device operable to describe a prescribed model ID defined by a predetermined standard in the notice information and to describe an extended model ID used in combination with the prescribed model ID in the notice information; and a device operable to generate the notice information having the IDs described. The receiving apparatus includes a device operable to determine whether the prescribed model ID matches an owned prescribed model ID; a device operable to determine whether the extended model ID matches the owned extended model ID when the prescribed model ID is so determined; and a device operable to acquire update data when the extended model ID is so determined.
