PROCESSING METHOD TO BE IMPLEMENTED UPON THE OCCURRENCE OF AN EXPRESSION SWITCH IN HTTP STREAMING

摘要

Disclosed is a processing method which enables natural reproduction in the event an expression switch occurs during an HTTP streaming transmission. The method involves: receiving a first media information file which stores information regarding segments in the event no expression switch occurs, and a second media information file which stores information regarding segments in the event an expression switch occurs; and receiving and reproducing segments of the content to be received with reference to the first information in the event no expression switch occurs, and receiving and reproducing segments of the content to be received with reference to the second information in the event an expression switch occurs. Thus, multimedia content may be provided without screen stoppage errors arising from changes in the dynamic environment of a channel.
