CONTENTS PROVIDING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR STREAMING SERVICE

摘要

A content providing system for a streaming service and a method thereof are provided to offer the high quality streaming service by efficiently distributing contents provided from each streaming server when a streaming service system provides the streaming service by a user request. Each local server(230) stores the contents received from a global server and provides index information of the contents. A management node(210) manages the index information of the contents stored in each local server and the global server, and checks a storage position of the contents according to content type information if a content request message is received from a user terminal. The management node enables the contents requested from the user terminal to be transmitted through the wired/wireless Internet by transmitting a content transmission message to the local or global server storing the requested contents. The index information includes at least one of ID, storage position, and start/end information of each content.
