METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SUPPORTING MULTIMEDIA STREAMING SERVICE

摘要

PURPOSE: A method for supporting a multimedia streaming service is provided to control a communication between a streaming client and a streaming server through a local buffer of a streaming reproducing device. CONSTITUTION: If a measured buffer amount exceeds a predetermined upper threshold value, a streaming unit requests a pause of the streaming communication to a streaming serve(310,320). If the measured buffer amount is lower than a predetermined lower threshold value, the streaming unit requests a resume of the streaming communication to the streaming server(330,340).
