Embodiment Construction

[0019] In the following paragraphs, implementations of the method and related devices according to the invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the first paragraph of this specification the main elements of the network are in figure 1 with figure 2 was presented. In the second paragraph, the connections between the previously mentioned network elements and the described devices are defined. The actual implementation of the method for rendering multimedia assets is described in the following paragraphs.

[0020] The first basic unit of an embodiment of the present invention is a media client MC that renders media assets provided by a media server through streaming. Although such systems typically include multiple media clients coupled to a media server, in the current embodiment only two media clients MC and MC1 are presented. The MC and MC1 of such media clients may be Internet-connected personal computers supporting media rendering tech...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a Method, system, and related media client and media server for rendering / PLAYING a media asset by a media client where the media asset is provided / streamed by a media server. The media client being coupled to the media server over a communications network. The method of the present invention includes the step of the media client monitoring a fragment preview signal received at the media client, interpreting the fragment preview signal and subsequently determining an associated preview Media asset fragment based on the fragment preview signal which is received at the media client. The media server further selects / retrieves the preview media asset fragment (from a media asset repository where the media asset repository is coupled to the media server and subsequently the media Client renders the preview media asset fragment retrieved by the media server. The fragment preview signal may be based on a user pointing with a mouse at a later point in time on a progress bar of a video rendering application.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method according to the preamble of claim 1, a system according to the preamble of claim 3, an associated media client according to the preamble of claim 5 and a The relevant media server as described in the preamble.
