Data transmission device
First Claim
1. A data transmission apparatus which extracts content data that is a copyrighted digital work from a file, and transmits the content data to a reception apparatus, wherein the file is made up of (i) the content data and (ii) reproduction control information used for a reproduction process of the content data, the content data and the reproduction control information being multiplexed, and the data transmission apparatus comprises:
- a front end processing unit operable to establish and initialize a transmission path of content data with the reception apparatus;
a control transmission unit operable to extract at least a part of the reproduction control information from the file, and transmit the extracted information to the reception apparatus, after the transmission path is established and initialized by said front end processing unit;
a packet generation unit operable to acquire at least a part of content data from the file, and packetize the acquired data; and
a content transmission unit operable to transmit at least a part of the content data which has been packetized by said packet generation unit.

Abstract
A data transmission apparatus (100) causes a data reception apparatus to execute an appropriate reproduction process on content data, and comprises: a file analysis unit (110) and an RTSP processing unit (101) which (i) establish and initialize a transmission path of the content data with the data reception apparatus, (ii) extract reproduction control information from an MP4 file, and (iii) transmit the extracted information to the data reception apparatus; an RTP generation unit (102) which acquires the content data from the MP4 file via a file analysis unit (110) so as to packetize the acquired content data; and an RTP delivery unit (103) which transmits the content data that has been packetized by the RTP generation unit (102).

16. A method for transmitting data, in which content data that is a copyrighted digital work is extracted from a file and transmitted to a reception apparatus,
wherein the file is made up of (i) the content data and (ii) reproduction control information used for a reproduction process of the content data, the content data and the reproduction control information being multiplexed, and the method for transmitting data comprises: -
a front end processing step of establishing and initializing a transmission path of content data with the reception apparatus;
a control transmission step of extracting at least a part of the reproduction control information from the file, and transmitting the extracted information to the reception apparatus, after the transmission path is established and initialized by said front end processing step;
a packet generation step of acquiring at least a part of content data from the file, and packetizing the acquired data; and
a content transmission step of transmitting at least a part of the content data which has been packetized by said packet generation unit. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)

19. A program for extracting content data that is a copyrighted digital work from a file, and transmitting the extracted data to a reception apparatus,
wherein the file is made up of (i) the content data and (ii) reproduction control information used for a reproduction process of the content data, the content data and the reproduction control information being multiplexed, and the method for transmitting data causes a computer to execute: -
a front end processing step of establishing and initializing a transmission path of content data with the reception apparatus;
a control transmission step of extracting at least a part of the reproduction control information from the file, and transmitting the extracted information to the reception apparatus, after the transmission path is established and initialized by said front end processing step;
a packet generation step of acquiring at least a part of content data from the file, and packetizing the acquired data; and
a content transmission step of transmitting at least a part of the content data which has been packetized by said packet generation unit.
