Method and device for controlling the transmission and playback of digital signals
First Claim
1. A method of controlling the transmission and playback of digitally coded signals, the method comprising the steps of:
- storing files of the digitally coded signals in a data source;
sending profiles of the files from the data source to an interface at a remote user;
sending from the user interface to the data source a control command for preparing the signals and requesting at least one of the files;
in response to the control command at the data source preparing the signals in the source by sequentiallyselecting the requested file,decomposing the selected file into individual data packets,digitally mixing the individual data packets into at least one new data packet, andcoding the new data packet in a fixed time grid and transmitting it to the user interface in real time; and
decoding and playing back the received new data packet with the interface at the user.

Abstract
The transmission and playback of digitally coded signals is done by storing files of the digitally coded signals in a data source and sending profiles of the files from the data source to an interface at a remote user. The user interface sends to the data source a control command for preparing the signals and requesting at least one of the files. In response to the control command, the data source prepares the signals in the source by sequentially selecting the requested file, decomposing the selected file into individual data packets, digitally mixing the individual data packets into at least one new data packet, and coding the new data packet in a fixed time grid and transmitting it to the user interface in real time. Finally the received new data packet with is received and played back by the interface at the user.

9. An apparatus for controlling the transmission and playback of digitally coded signals, the apparatus comprising:
-
a data source holding files of the digitally coded signals; a remote user having an interface; means in the data source for sending profiles of the files to the remote interface; means in the interface for sending to the data source a control command requesting at least one of the files; means in the user for responding to the control command at the data source and sequentially selecting the requested file, decomposing the selected file into individual data packets, digitally mixing the individual data packets into at least one new data packet, and coding the new data packet in a fixed time grid and transmitting it to the user interface in real time; and means in the user decoding and playing back the received new data packet with the interface at the user. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11)
