Abstract:
A method for operating a terminal that can request stopping the transmission of an entire content including key frames and non-key frame, and receiving only the key frames from the entire content being previously transmitted by a server. The method includes requesting one or more key frames included in contents from a server, generating by the terminal the one or more skipped frames corresponding to non-key frames by receiving the key frames, and inserting the generated skipped frames between the key frames. The skipped frames are generated by the terminal, are identical to the key frames and are placed in positions by the terminal where non-key frames were once part of the entire content at the server.
