METHOD FOR MANAGING THE SELECTION OF THE REPRESENTATION OF SEGMENTS OF MULTIMEDIA CONTENT TRANSMITTED OVER A COMMUNICATION NETWORK

摘要

The invention relates to a method for managing the representation of data segments of content received by a terminal from a server, the method comprising a step of obtaining a document from which universal addresses are generated, one address being associated with a representation of the segment in question selected by the terminal among a plurality of representations described in the document, the segment being capable of being received from the server and decoded by the terminal, characterised in that it includes the following steps at the terminal: a step of transmitting a request to access at least one segment according to a first selected representation, and a step of receiving said at least one segment according to a second representation, as well as information relating to the second representation suitable for being taken into consideration for decoding the received segment.

1. A method for managing the representation of the data segments of a content received by a terminal from a server, the method comprising a step of obtaining a document from which universal addresses are generated, one address being associated with a representation of the segment concerned selected by the terminal from multiple representations described in the document, the segment being capable of being received from the server and decoded by the terminal, characterized in that it includes the following steps at the terminal:
a step of transmitting (ET7) a request for access to at least one segment according to a first selected representation, a step of receiving (ET8) said at least one segment according to a second representation, and a piece of information relating to the second representation capable of being taken into account for decoding the received segment.
