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

摘要

The invention relates to a method for managing the representation of the data segments (0.mp4v, 180180.mp4v) of a content received by a terminal from a server. Said method comprises a step (ET2) of producing a document from which universal addresses are generated, a representation of the segment in question selected by the terminal from a plurality of representations described in the document being associated with an address, the segment being able to be received from the server according to the selected representation. The method comprises the following steps on the terminal: a first step of transmitting an access inquiry to a first segment according to a first selected representation; a first step of receiving a response to the inquiry including a request for the modification of the first representation; a second step of transmitting an access inquiry to the first segment according to a second representation; and a second step of receiving the first segment from the server according to the second representation.

1. A method for managing the representation of the data segments (0.mp4v, 180180.mp4v) of a content received by a terminal from a server, the method comprising a step (ET2) of obtaining a document on the basis of which are generated universal addresses, with an address there being associated a representation of the segment concerned, chosen by the terminal from among several representations described in the document, the segment being able to be received from the server according to the chosen representation, characterized in that it comprises the following steps at the level of the terminal,
a first step of transmitting (ET7) a request for access to a first segment according to a first chosen representation, a first step of receiving (ET8) a response to the request including a demand for modification of the first representation; a second step of transmitting (ET10) a request for access to the first segment according to a second representation; a second step of receiving (ET11) from the server the first segment according to the second representation.
