<p>Method for providing a multimedia service from a media server (1) to a mobile device (2), said method including the following steps:
- the mobile device (2) providing the media server (2) with a predicted path (3) to be followed;
- the mobile device (2) repetitively providing the media server (3) with its current location;
- as long as the current location of the mobile device (2) is in a area (4) of deemed network coverage, the media server (1) providing the mobile device with real time media streams;
- the mobile device (2) playing the media streams real time;
- as soon as the current location of the mobile device (2) approaches an area (5) of deemed network unavailability along the predicted path (3), the media server (1) providing the mobile device (2) with non-real-time media data;
- the mobile device (2) collecting the non-real-time media data in a buffer;
- as long as the current location of the mobile device (2) is in the area (5) of deemed network unavailability, the mobile device (2) playing back the non-real-time media data.</p> |
