CONTENT VIRTUAL SEGMENTATION METHOD, AND METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING STREAMING SERVICE USING THE SAME

摘要

PURPOSE: A content virtual segmentation method, streaming service providing method using the same, and system thereof are provided to control the size of a segment file by controlling a location information value in the segment file according to the changed segment size. CONSTITUTION: An index file storage(304) stores an index table which indicates a mapping relation between visual information and location information. Segments are created by classifying raw content files which are stored in a content storage unit(300) according to a time unit. An encoder(316) extracts the segments from the raw content file based on the index table. A streaming server(56) transmits the segments to a client apparatus through a network using a streaming method.
