<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To optimally set the buffering time of a receiver side terminal, according to the environment of a network. <P>SOLUTION: A communication unit 21 transmits a measurement packet for measuring a reciprocating time of reciprocating between the receiver side terminal and a transmitter side terminal transmitting a packet of streaming data, and receives this packet. A controller 22 calculates the buffering time on the basis of the reciprocating time of the measured packet. A reproduced data buffering section 23 buffers the streaming data of the packet transmitted from the transmitter side terminal, and starts reading the buffered streaming data after the buffering time elapses. This system is applicable to, for example, a TV phone. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
