<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technology for shortening a time when no image is provided to a user at station selection. <P>SOLUTION: An auxiliary stream storage section 23 stores auxiliary streams resulting from applying low bit rate processing to main streams stored in a main stream storage section 21. A buffer (auxiliary stream) 38 of a receiving apparatus 12 stores the auxiliary streams. When the station selection is operated, a display apparatus 33 displays an image on the basis of the auxiliary streams stored in the buffer (auxiliary stream) 38. Thereafter when buffering of the main streams to a buffer (main stream) 37 is finished, the image displayed on the display apparatus 33 is switched from the image of the auxiliary streams into the image of the main streams. The technology above can be applied to transmission apparatuses and receiving apparatuses for handling streaming broadcasting. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT</p> |
