Embodiment Construction

[0052] The invention will now be described with reference to specific embodiments. These specific examples are provided for better understanding by those skilled in the art and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention in any way, which is defined by the appended claims.

[0053] figure 1 Scenarios in which embodiments of the invention may be implemented are illustrated in schematic form. The transmission device 20 transmits the media stream ( figure 1 upper dotted line arrow) to the receiving and playing device 10. Communication network 30 may be the Internet and may include wireless segments. The transmitting device 20 may be a server receiving data from a broadcasting station (not shown). A media stream may contain audio content transmitted continuously as a stream of data packets or as airborne electromagnetic waves.

[0054] figure 2 is a flow chart of the method of one embodiment of the present invention. The method includes a first playing pro...

Abstract

A method is carried out by a receiving and playing device (10), for receiving and playing a media stream. The method includes a first playing procedure (s12), a playing mode switching procedure (s14), and a second playing procedure (s16). The first playing procedure (s12) includes receiving a media stream through a communication medium or network (30) and playing the received media stream. The playing mode switching procedure (s14) includes determining (s142) whether a media content about to be received or being received is locally stored and, if so, switching to the second playing procedure (s16). The second playing procedure (s16) includes playing the media content based on at least the locally stored media content. The invention also relates to methods carried out by a transmitting device (20), to receiving and playing devices (10), to transmitting devices (20), and to computer programs.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to methods for transmitting media streams, and to methods for receiving and playing media streams. The invention also relates to a device for transmitting a media stream, to a device for receiving and playing a media stream, and to a computer program comprising computer-understandable instructions which, when executed on the device, cause the device to perform a process for transmitting a media stream. methods or methods for receiving and playing media streams. The present invention can be used notably but not limited to the fields of analog and digital radio broadcasting and Internet broadcasting transmission and reception. Background technique [0002] Radio broadcasting has been known since at least the twenties. With the growth of the Internet, many radio stations now transmit their programs over the Internet as continuous digital media streams. These programs can thus be listened to anywhere on the globe via the In...
