LIVE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM, WEB SERVER, ENCODER, AND DISTRIBUTION MANAGEMENT METHOD IN LIVE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a live distribution system which can stably distribute a live image to audience (clients) even when a network between an encoder and a distribution server becomes unstable.

SOLUTION: Encoders 200-1 and 200-2 which divide an image for a live distribution into blocks at cut editable spots, compress the blocks, and transfer compressed image data block-divided to a server, and the server 300 which combines the image data block-divided and prepares a distribution program in response to distribution states and/or a request of the client are provided. Thus, a live distribution system 100 can be realized which can stably distribute a live image to audience without a particular server or viewer, i.e. without changing a prior art distribution system infrastructure.
