HTTP based video streaming apparatus and method in mobile communication system
First Claim
1. An HTTP based video streaming apparatus, comprising:
- a memory configured to store content files received from a transmitting server; and
a random access searching unit configured to search a random access point in the memory, and to transmit a content file request message to the transmitting server if the random access point does not exist in the memory.

Abstract
An HTTP based video streaming apparatus and method of a mobile communication system is disclosed. A memory, such as a storing disk, stores content files received from a server of a transmitting party, a random access searching unit searches the random access point in the memory and transmits a content file request message to the transmitting server if the random access point does not exist in the memory, and a display unit displays the files from the random access point. Therefore, HTTP streaming service from a random point required by a user can be provided when the streaming has begun, and the random access function can be supported by even if the part required by the user has not yet been transmitted to receiving party.

-
searching an I-frame closest to a random access point required by a user;
configuring a media data sample to set the I-frame as a data transmission starting point; and
changing header information of the media data sample. - View Dependent Claims (32)

33. An HTTP based video streaming method in a random access method of a data stream including a plurality of headers having a plurality of media data samples and time information for the media data samples, comprising:
-
searching an I-frame closest to a P-frame random access point required by a user;
converting a next P-frame which is adjacent to the I-frame into a new I-frame through calculating using the next P-frame an the I-frame;
configuring a media data sample by setting the new I-frame as a data transmission starting point after converting the P-frame random access point into the new I-frame; and
changing header information of the media data sample. - View Dependent Claims (34)
