METHOD OF CONTROLLING DATA FLOW FOR A MEDIA PLAYER SYSTEM

摘要

A data control method used in a media player system is disclosed. The media player system includes a data end and a play end connected to each other through a network. The data end includes an encoder for encoding media data. The play end includes a buffer for storing media data packets. The method includes comparing the number of media data packets stored in the buffer with a high threshold and a low threshold, decelerating the encoding by the encoder of the data end if the number of media data packets stored in the buffer is larger than the high threshold, and accelerating the encoding by the encoder of the data end if the number of media data packets stored in the buffer is smaller than the high threshold.
