METHOD FOR TRANSMITTING REAL-TIME STREAMING DATA AND APPARATUS USING THE SAME

摘要

A method and an apparatus for transmitting real-time streaming data are provided. The apparatus has a first terminal, a second terminal, and a relay server. Real-time streaming transmission paths between the first terminal and the relay server as well as between the second terminal and the relay server are established, and the first and the second terminals can obtain information from each other. Whether the first and the second terminals are directly connectable or tested. When the first and the second terminals can be connected directly, the first terminal alters the real-time streaming transmission path directly to the second terminal without passing through the relay server. When the second terminal can be connected directly to the first terminal, the second terminal alters the real-time streaming data transmission path directly to the first terminal with passing through the relay server.
