Method and system for data distribution
First Claim
1. A data distribution method for a data distribution system that temporarily stores data received from outside and transmits the data to another data distribution system, the method comprising:
- analyzing the data that is received from outside and temporarily stored;
dividing the data into component information and a plurality of element data;
setting a transmission sequence to the plurality of element data according to a specified rule; and
transmitting the component information to the other data distribution system, and transmitting the divided element data to the other data distribution system according to the transmission sequence.

Abstract
A relay apparatus on a network includes an analysis section that analyzes multimedia contents transmitted from a contents provider. The relay apparatus temporarily stores contents identifiers, component information of the contents, and element data pointed by pointers of the component information, and creates a transmission sequence for transmitting the element data. A transmission section transmits the contents identifier, the contents component information and the element data according to the transmission sequence to a service provider. When the relay apparatus receives a request from a terminal or from a service provider even before the service provider completes registration of the entire multimedia contents, the relay apparatus or the service provider can start rendering multimedia transmission services to the terminal.
