Abstract:
There are provided a content data transmission method, device, and program that minimize serious disturbances in reproduced content on the reception side, caused by a transmission error of encoded data, without sending feedback information from the reception side to the transmission side. When an encoder creates encoded data to be distributed, the encoder creates plural items of encoded data at the same time or creates FEC data at the same time in advance and, when storing the data in a file, stores the data as if the data were one item of encoded data. When a distribution server distributes the data using the file, the plurality of items of encoded data are automatically distributed at the same time and the FEC data is distributed. A client receives the plurality of items of encoded data or the FEC data to reduce the probability of data shortage due to a packet loss and, as a result, the deterioration in the image quality and the audio quality is reduced.
Abstract:
A system and a method of suppressing outstanding degradation of decoded audio quality due to a transmission error of audio coded data are provided without feedback information from a receiver, thereby reducing the increase of the number of necessary transmission bands and the arithmetic complexity on the receiving side. A code conversion and transmission apparatus 100 for inputting audio coded data includes first to N-th code conversion and transmission units 102 and 104 to 106 for converting audio data to N pieces of coded data, and transmitting the data at predetermined or adaptively variable time intervals to M transmission lines 130. The second to N-th audio code conversion and transmission units 104 to 106 codes a frame at a compression rate equal to or higher than the rate of input coded data. The code conversion and reception apparatus 120 selects a transmission line using a selection unit 107, and selecting data from correctly received coded data in a frame or packet unit, thereby reconfiguring the coded data using a coded data reconfiguration unit 112.
Abstract:
An image data distribution device (101) includes an image coded data 1 transmission unit (105), an image coded data 2 transmission unit (106), and a session management unit (103). A plurality of image coded data of the same image is distributed in different sessions or image data having different types of image frame and image block is distributed in different sessions. Here, for each session, the routing priority control is performed in the transmission path and power control is performed if the path is a radio transmission path. An image data reception device (108) includes an image coded data 1 reception unit (110), an image coded data 2 reception unit (111), a session information reception unit (109), a coded data reconstruction unit (112) for reconstructing the coded data, and a decoder (113). Among the image coded data normally received from at least one session, coded data is selected according to the image quality and decoded.

Abstract:
A transit control apparatus connects a plurality of terminals participating in a multipoint conference to each other for relaying and controlling speech data. A terminal connected to the transit control apparatus transmits speech data. A DTMF signal extracting instruction decoder extracts a DTMF signal from the speech data transmitted from the terminal, and decodes the extracted DTMF signal into an instruction. A mixer adjusts the volume level of the speech data based on the instruction, and outputs the adjusted speech data.
Abstract:
A code conversion/transmission apparatus for being supplied with compressed encoded data and converting and outputting the data to a transmission path has code converter/transmitters for outputting the encoded data input thereto and encoded data produced by re-encoding the encoded data input thereto, or outputting a plurality of encoded data comprising encoded data produced by separately re-encoding the encoded data input thereto, respectively, and transmitting the plurality of encoded data to at least one transmission path. At least a portion of the encoded data input thereto and at least a portion of the re-encoded encoded data are transmitted to the transmission path.
Abstract:
An information processing apparatus receives index information about an expansion function realized by being linked to a predetermined service provided by an external apparatus from a server apparatus connected via a network, displays a menu of information representing the expansion functions on a display screen, based on the index information, downloads software for executing the expansion function based on location information of the software when the expansion function being executed in accordance with a user selection on the menu on the display screen; the location information contained in the index information, and uses the downloaded software to executes the expansion function selected by an user.

Abstract:
A content distribution device includes data output means for outputting encoded data and transmission means for transmitting encoded data which is outputted from the data output means. The data output means outputs encoded data obtained by hierarchical encoding as the encoded data. The transmission means transmits at least a part of data of at least one layer among the encoded data obtained by the hierarchical encoding.
