When transmitting live information data, a reproduction start waiting time associated with reproduction of the live information data on the receiving side can be reduced. Encoded data is divided in sequence into a plurality of data segments each having a predetermined time length. In this case, the time length of each data segment is increased in sequence for each data segment until a predetermined time length is reached and is fixed to the predetermined time length after the predetermined time length is reached. The plurality of data segments which are formed in a divided manner are converted into a plurality of segmented packet data or a plurality of continuous packet data, and the data is transmitted through individual data transmission channels, thus performing multiple-channel parallel transmission.
