<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problem that it is difficult to fully guarantee service quality in stream control using quality information on a network layer. <P>SOLUTION: The first communication part 61 of an intermediate node 20 receives stream data from a server via a first network 41. A second communication part 62 receives reproduction output situation information on stream data from a terminal via a second network 42. A packet processor 64 performs protocol processing on transmission/reception packets and controls input/output of the packet to a buffer 60. A control unit 68 gives quality control instructions, based on a reproduction output situation in the terminal to a transcoder 66. The transcoder 66 transcodes the stream data and changes transmission quality. The packet processor 64 transfers the packet of stream data which is trancsoded via the second network 42. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
