Embodiment Construction

[0014] Specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. A content reproduction system given as a specific example includes a server and clients connected to each other through a network. The server provides the content, and the client renders the content. In particular, the system is based on streaming playback in which a client reproduces content data while receiving the data by using a network protocol called TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) / IP (Internet Protocol).

[0015] figure 1 It is a schematic diagram showing a content reproduction system according to an embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment will be described as a system for reproducing music content. The content reproduction system 1 includes a server 2 storing music content, a client 3 reproducing the music content, and a switching hub 4 relaying communication between the server 2 and the client 3 . The content reproduc...

Abstract

Disclosed is a content reproducing device and a content reproducing method capable of eliminating confusions in reproduction manipulations. The present invention provides a content reproducing device that requests desired content data from a server storing content data and reproduces a content thereof while receiving the content data requested, which includes a communication section that requests desired content data from the server and receives the content data, a receive buffer that buffers the content data received by the communication section, a reproduction section that reads the content data buffered in the receive buffer and reproduces a content thereof, and a control section that controls reproduction of the content, wherein when the desired content data is requested from the server, the control section requests content data of a specified range, and limits a reproduction function for the content, based on a response from the server to the request.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a content reproducing device and a content reproducing method having a communication function based on, for example, TCP / IP (Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol) and reproducing content such as music. Background technique [0002] In the related art, there is a reproduction system in which a client device (hereinafter simply referred to as client) requests content stored in a server device (hereinafter simply referred to as server) through a network. Data of content requested by the client is received from the server, and the client reproduces the content. [0003] In this reproducing system, during streaming playback of the content reproduced by the client while receiving its data, the playback of the suspended content is realized in such a manner that the server stops transmission immediately before the picture packet is suspended. Unpause by restarting transmission from the suspended picture packet (for ...
