Methods and apparatuses for resuming paused media

摘要

Methods and apparatuses in a user equipment (300) and a control server (302) for enabling resumption of a paused media information stream sent in a live broadcast (3:1) of a TV program. When a user has paused (3:2) the broadcasted media information stream, the user equipment obtains (3:3) an indicator of a pause time in the stream and sends a pause request (3:4) to the control server. The control server then sends to the user equipment an answer message (3:6) with a file location address of a recorded version of the TV program and an indicator of a start time of the broadcasted media information stream. The user equipment then calculates (3:7) an offset value indicating a pause point in the stream where the pause occurred, based on the obtained indicator of pause time and the received indicator of start time. The user equipment can then resume the media information stream (3:8 - 3:10) from said pause point based on the received file location address and offset value, by fetching the recorded version of the remains from a media server (306). Thereby, any gap or jump in the resumed TV program due to inaccurate offset can be minimised or avoided. (Fig. 3)
