METHOD OF VIDEO ON DEMAND STREAMING AND STORAGE MEDIUM STORING PROGRAM THEREFOR

摘要

A VOD(Video On Demand) service providing method and a recording medium for recording a program thereof are provided to manage a bandwidth of a content server efficiently in consideration of the number of terminals which request or receive a VOD service. A VOD service providing method comprises the following steps of: providing VOD streaming data responding to a VOD service request from one or more terminals(100)(S540,S550); computing an optimum transmission mode by using preset correlation; and converting a current transmission mode into the optimum transmission mode if the current transmission mode between a content server(130) and the terminal is different from the optimum transmission mode(S520). The correlation uses one or more terminals connected to the content server, a bandwidth assigned to the content server, and a payment policy.
