<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a stream distributing method of efficiently distributing hierarchically coded or not coded stream data sent from one or more transmitting terminals to one or more receiving terminals as hierarchically coded stream data fit to the indicated power of each receiving terminal. <P>SOLUTION: A stream distributor limits hierarchically coded or not coded stream data sent from one or more transmitting terminals to stream data of hierarchical levels fit to their indication capabilities, and distributes the data to a plurality of receiving terminals at once, thus indicating and outputting the steam data from each transmitting terminal to the receiving terminals at once while restraining a load on the stream distributor. It copes with not hierarchically coded stream data from the transmitting terminal, thus flexibly adapting to terminals of various capabilities. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI |
