METHOD FOR DISTRIBUTING DYNAMIC IMAGE AND SOUND OVER NETWORK, THE APPARATUS, AND METHOD FOR GENERATING DYNAMIC IMAGE AND SOUND

摘要

A method and an apparatus for starting reproduction and display of a dynamic image and sound quickly over network through a simple arrangement without interrupting the reproduction and display and further distributing and displaying a dynamic image and sound corresponding to a user input interactively. A method for transmitting streams (s(1), s(2), s(n)) generated by multiplexing a plurality of compressed dynamic images and sound from a server (1) to a client (3) through a network and reproducing and displaying the streams on the client side characterized in that the server transmits the streams sequentially to the client, and the client receives the streams sequentially, stores the received streams sequentially in a memory independently of the server, expands the streams sequentially, and reproducing and displaying the streams parallel with the receiving and expanding.
