Abstract

An audio-video sharing method and a corresponding audio-video sharing system are disclosed. The audio-video sharing system includes a short-range wireless network, a first mobile communication apparatus storing audio-video data, and a second mobile communication apparatus. The audio-video sharing method includes the following steps. At first, the first mobile communication apparatus reads the audio-video data. The first mobile communication apparatus then multiplexes the audio-video data into a media stream by a peer-to-peer streaming protocol. Then, the first mobile communication apparatus transmits the media stream through the short-range wireless network. Then, the second mobile communication apparatus receives the media stream. Then, the second mobile communication apparatus de-multiplexes the media stream into audio-video data by the peer-to-peer streaming protocol. At last, the second mobile communication apparatus plays the audio-video data.

Claims
