METHOD AND DEVICE FOR RECEIVING AND REPRODUCING DATA AND METHOD AND DEVICE FOR TRANSMITTING DATA

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress the fluctuation of an output rate caused by the control of the output rate in a data transmitting method while conducting not only relaying of input packets but also transmission of retransmission packets and correction packets and to efficiently transmit data in accordance with the capacity of an output communication path. SOLUTION: A transmission request transmitting means 1803 requests transmission of a reproduction start position list to a transmitting side and a receiving means 1806 receives a reproduction start position list 406. A reproduction start position selecting means 407 selects a reproduction start position 408 from the list 406. The means 1803 requests transmission of stream data from the position 406 to the transmitter. The means 1806 receives the stream data and a reproducing means 1806 reproduces the received stream data.
