By this way, when program finished, the user can watch interested advertisement picture in any time of not free restriction.(1-4) the programme information method of reseptance of user terminal
When the program distribution server 2 of Distribution Center 4 (Fig. 1) by the Internet 5 to user terminal 6A, 6B ... distribution is during programme information, arranges that program distribution server 2 is each user terminal 6A, 6B in continuous method of reseptance shown in Figure 14 and modification (overwrite) method of reseptance shown in Figure 15 ... switch a method of reseptance.
As shown in figure 14, each user terminal 6A, 6B ... have a pair of alternately by the Internet 5 program receiving information IF1, IF2 ... reception memory cell 12A and 12B.When first receives memory cell 12A by the Internet 5 program receiving information IF1, IF2 ... the time, show that second receives the programme information that memory cell 12B receives fully.
Then, when first reception memory cell 12A receives programme information fully, accepting state switches to by second reception memory cell 12B passes through the Internet 5 program receiving information, and shows the programme information that has been received by first reception memory cell 12A.
This kind structure allows user terminal 6A, 6B ... reception memorizer 12 time enough is arranged, thereby user terminal 6A, 6B ... can easily control relative heap file, handle and can not change ground display frame suddenly at display screen such as the demonstration of motion picture.
But, in receiving belt the distribution of the program distribution data of sound is arranged, under the situation such as output sound when receiving data, this programme information can below sequential arrive, that is, sound is being carried out the middle beginning that the reception memory cell that receives operation reads programme information.
In this case, program distribution server 2 compresses program information data to send to then and receives memory cell 12A or 12B.
For this compression program information, as shown in Figure 5, expression is compressed the frame information specification data " cab " of picture data as frame information specification data.
If do not need this compression, then do not send programme information, as shown in Figure 16 with compressing.
Under the situation of Fig. 5, will represent that the categorical data " cab " of " image compresses " adds frame number arrives the frame of " 6 " for " 4 " frame information specification data to.Should note categorical data " html " is added in the frame information specification data of programme information of " compression ground does not transmit ".
Therefore, be stored in one of reception memorizer 12 by the Internet 5 when receiving in the memory cell, user terminal 6A, 6B when compression program information ... obtain all information and decompress then, thereby the time of sound when it turns back to original program information begins.Thereby the problem of having only sound to begin can be solved effectively.
By the continuous method of reseptance of Figure 14, user terminal 6A, 6B ... reception display part 12 can have time enough carry out to receive operation, thereby user terminal 6A, 6B ... can obtain programme information incessantly.
By the way, by the continuous method of reseptance of Figure 14, reception memorizer 12 can unsuccessfully not receive from program distribution server 2 and be distributed to user terminal 6A, 6B ... all programme informations.But, at user terminal 6A, 6B ... in case after receiving programme information, it is necessary deleting all programme informations, for example, be the copyright protection purpose.
In this case, as shown in figure 15, for program distribution server 2 provides a pair of first and second to send memory cell 11A and 11B as sending memory 11, thereby and sequentially and alternately rewrite first and second programme information IF1, IF2, the IF3 that send among memory cell 11A and the 1B ...
Then, program distribution server 2 makes user terminal 6A, 6B ... reception memorizer 12 first and second receive memory cell 12A and 12B directly sends display unit 11A and 11B program receiving information by the Internet 5 from sending first and second of memory 11.
Thereby, have only two programme informations to be retained in first and second and receive memory cell 12A and the 12B from transmission memory 11 distributions of program distribution server 2.
Therefore, structure according to Figure 15, when at user terminal 6A, 6B ... in when receiving memory cell and obtain programme information with one among a pair of reception memory cell 12A that receives display part 12 and the 12B, rewrite previous programme information in the corresponding transmission memory cell for the new programme information of data in another reception memory cell.Thereby, can effectively avoid user terminal 6A, 6B ... unnecessarily obtain the worry of remaining programme information; Thereby, can realize protecting safely the programme information dissemination system of copyright.
According to said structure, there is not the programme information of Copyright Protection to be distributed to user terminal 6A, 6B with time enough by the continuous method of reseptance shown in Figure 14 ...On the contrary, for the programme information that needs copyright protection, program distribution server 2 uses the rewriting distribution method shown in Figure 15, thereby realizes satisfying in fact fully the information distribution system 1 of program distribution condition.(1-5) distribution of high-resolution moving picture data
The programme information that comprises the high-resolution moving picture data in the information distribution system 1 of Fig. 1 is distributed to user terminal 6A, 6B by the Internet 5 from the program distribution server 2 of Distribution Center 4 ... situation under, if the Internet 5 does not have very high transmission rate, then large-scale program information is sent to user terminal 6A, 6B in advance ... with at user terminal 6A, 6B ... the display standard time showing.
For example, in Figure 17 with first, second, third, fourth ... program picture f1, f2, f3, f4 ... respectively at time t 1, t 2, t 3, t 4Be presented at user terminal 6A, 6B ... on situation under, if the 3rd program information data f3 is the high-resolution moving picture data, then the data volume of the 3rd program information data f3 will be big in the extreme.
Therefore, program Control Server 3 is at time t 03, promptly at the demonstration time of program information data f3 t 3Began to read from program distribution server 2 in preceding 10 minutes and send to user terminal 6A, 6B ... program information data f3, to start from program distribution server 2 to user terminal 6A, 6B ... transmission.
Correspondingly, first and second program information data f1 before the 3rd program information data f3 and f2 are at time t 01And t 02, promptly show time t 1And t 2Sent to user terminal 6A, 6B from program distribution server 2 in preceding 10 minutes ...
In fact, when having created timetable data TMDAT, with first, second and the 3rd program information data f1, f2, f3 at time for reading t 01, t 02, t 03On data add timetable data TMDA to as the frame display time data, this TMDA is published to user terminal 6A, 6B from program Control Server 3 then ..., so program information data can be distributed to user terminal 6A, 6B from program distribution server 2 ... to show in the demonstration time.(1-6) by disperseing (dispersion) distribution program information data
Based on the standard time in the information distribution system 1 of Fig. 1 program information data is being distributed to user terminal 6A, 6B ... situation under, because the same program information data must be distributed to all terminals simultaneously, worry below intrinsic, promptly, there are a large number of users terminal 6A, 6B ..., and the frame information specification data FRDAT of each timetable data TMDAT (Fig. 5) all will send the time, the Internet 5 can traffic congestions take place and information can not be distributed safely.
In this case, as shown in Figure 18, will be distributed to user terminal 6A, 6B ... first, second, third, fourth program information data f1, f2, f3, the distribution time started t of f4 01, t 02, t 03, t 04Be chosen as aforementioned programme information and show time t 0, t 1, t 2, t 3The time that postpones the α time.There is not programme information because program information data " f " is preceding in this case, so virtual time t of supposition 0
Selection α time of delay is so that user terminal 6A, 6B ... according to the traffic congestion on the Internet 5 from program distribution server 2 to user terminal 6A, 6B ... and has different values.Thereby the transmitting time of program information data is provided with the different access times in the time range of the transmitting time of current program information data before before.
Therefore, when first, second, third, fourth ... program information data f1, f2, f3, f4 send to user terminal 6A, 6B from program distribution server 2 ... the time, because to each user terminal 6A, 6B ... send time started t 01, t 02, t 03, t 04All different, when program information data is distributed to user terminal 6A, 6B ... the time to avoid the traffic congestion on the Internet 5 be possible.Therefore, can realize user terminal 6A, a 6B that can make all ask distribution ... side by side and reliably at the information distribution system 1 of the demonstration time showing program of determining by the standard time.(2) second embodiment

As shown in figure 28, volume VL is presented at the right lower quadrant of program display panel DIP2, thereby the user can adjust volume with it.
CPU 31 shows a regular time of wait picture (for example, 15 seconds) that is stored in the wait picture memory 47 on the DP1 of program display part at next procedure SP14.
Because spend the time that transmission delay equates, after having operated the X passage button, the user all has been stored among the distribution picture data memory 35C of blotter memory 35 to program data, the processes and displays of this step SP14 is waited for picture, such as guiding demonstration " waiting for for 1 second " or with reference to Figure 11 and the described advertisement picture of Figure 12, thereby the user can not felt under the weather in that time.
CPU 31 stops X passage processing procedure RT1 at step SP15 then.
When step SP11 has obtained positive result, this means and when motion picture shows, operated the X passage button, then CPU 31 execution in step SP16 to the processing of step SP21 with demonstration from the mid portion starting image of motion picture.
Generally speaking,, compare, need the suitable lot of data of transmission with tableaux for motion picture.Therefore, at transmitting moving picture " paz ", under the situation such as the frame number Kno=7 of Fig. 5, in program distribution server 2, prepare in advance by a motion picture is divided into the piecemeal moving picture data that a plurality of pictures obtain.
Promptly, have in appointment under the situation of frame information specification data FRDAT (Fig. 5) of the frame number Kno=7 as shown in Figure 29 (A), with a motion picture program " ch1/7.paz " (for example, 10 minute campaign pictures) (for example be divided into 10 picture part data VDX, 1 minute picture data), as Figure 29 (B) is shown in the moving picture data with frame number 7 " paz " on the first passage ch1, obtain then the VDX of picture local data as first to the tenth fen piece motion picture frame data F1 to F10, shown in Figure 29 (C), these piecemeal pictures are stored in the program distribution server 2 in advance as a series of piecemeal moving picture datas " F1F2 ... F10 ".
First piecemeal motion picture frame data F1 comprises the motion picture head HD of control information of structure of ten VDX of picture local data with motion picture program of indication " ch1/7.paz " as header information.This information comprises the information about motion picture program " ch1/7.paz " data structure, such as the VDX of picture local data number, data volume, data format and demonstration time, thereby the motion picture head HD that has obtained first piecemeal motion picture frame data F1 just has been equivalent to obtain the data structure of motion picture program " ch1/7.paz ".
At these piecemeal motion picture frame data F1F2 ... the time started of F10 is set under the situation of 12:01:30 as the frame information specification data FRDAT of the 7th frame (Kno=7), when as Figure 30 (A) the time t=tx after being shown in time started 12:01:30 operated the X passage button, as Figure 30 (B) to user terminal 6A, 6B shown in (D) ... execution in step SP16 to the processing of step SP21 with behind X passage push-botton operation time t=tx only display frame data F6 to F10.
Particularly, when when step SP11 has obtained positive result, CPU 31 at step SP16 with a series of piecemeal moving picture data F1F2 ... the property file information [PzaInf] of F10 stores distribution picture data memory 35C as timetable data TMDAT into from program Control Server 3, determine the piecemeal motion picture frame data F6 that will be read at step SP17 based on the time for reading t=t0 of X passage push-botton operation time T X (Figure 30 (A)) and piecemeal moving picture data file then, thereby and determined that the piecemeal motion picture frame data F6F7F8F9F10 that the time t=t6 behind X passage push-botton operation time t=tx begins should show on display 38.
Property file information " PzaInf " comprises frame title (Name=7), picture format (Ex=mpg (this means squeezed)), data size (Size=3000000 (meaning 3000000 bytes)) and piecemeal number (Count=10 (meaning that 10 piecemeal motion picture frame data F1 are to F10)), as general information.
In addition, each frame data F1, F2 ..., the frame information on the F10 comprise start address (Start=0, Start=300000 ..., the Start=2700000 position of byte (expression beginning)), data size (Size=300000, Size=300000 ... Size=300000 (representing 300000 bytes)) and required time (Time=6000, Time=6000 ..., Time=6000 (representing 60 seconds)).
Then, CPU 31 will wait for that at step SP18 the wait picture in the picture memory 47 is presented on the program display part DP1 of display 38, then based on reading property file " PazInf " among the distribution picture data memory 35C at motion picture any file (free file) FILEX of generation shown in Figure 30 (C) in piecemeal motion picture memory 49 (Figure 23).
With regard to any file FILEX of this motion picture, the any file FILEX of motion picture comprises the head HD of the moving picture data that passes through X passage operating time t=tx distribution, and divides frame 0X1X2X corresponding to piecemeal motion picture frame F1 to any file of F10 ... 10X generates in distribution picture data memory 35C.
As a result, shown in Figure 30 (D), in distribution picture data memory 35C, produce a storage area, thereby the frame data F6 that distributes stores any file block frame 6X into to 10X to F10 behind X passage operating time t=tx.Then, at step SP20, reproduction initiation command file [7, simi] was as follows in the middle of CPU 31 produced motion picture.[7，smi]<smil><body><ref?clip-being＝“300.os”src＝“7.mpg”></body></smil>
＜smil〉be filename,＜body〉be file body,＜ref clip-being=" 300.os " src=" 7.mpg "〉be the order of " the MPEG compressed file that is called 7.mpg from the reproductions in 300 seconds in past ", and＜/body 〉,＜/smil〉the expression end.
Then, CPU 31 proceeds to step SP21 by timetable being passed to communication disruption timer 45 and showing that middle reproduction of motion picture of interrupt timer 46 shows that interrupt timer 46C activates them, and the step SP15 after step 14 stops X passage processing procedure RT1 as mentioned above then.(5-4) image information reads processing procedure
When communication disruption timer 45 when the step SP12 of the X passage button processing procedure RT1 of aforesaid Figure 27 and SP21 are in activation condition, CPU 31 produces the image information of carrying out Figure 31 when interrupting data at each communication disruption timer 45 and reads processing procedure RT2.
When image information read processing procedure RT2 and begins, CPU 31 determined whether the data that will read at step SP32 according to the distribution timetable in the distribution picture data memory 35 of being stored in.When obtaining positive result, confirm at step SP33 whether property file information " PazInf " (Figure 29 (D)) is included among the frame information specification data FRDAT (Fig. 5) of timetable.
When obtaining negative decision, the picture that this means frame information specification data FRDAT is general picture " html ", then CPU 31 proceed to step SP34 from program distribution server 2 with image information URL1, URL2 ... download to user terminal 6A, 6B ...
Image information URL1, URL2 ... download carry out by host-host protocol FTP.
Next, CPU 31 is stored in distribution picture data memory 35C with the image information of downloading.Proceed to step SP36 then and determine whether the current file that is reading is finished.When obtaining positive result, CPU 31 stops communication disruption timer 45 at step SP37, reads processing procedure RT2 in step SP38 end picture information then.
Opposite to when step SP36 obtains negative decision, mean that schedule information may show data storage 35B the time of advent afterwards at the current file that is reading.At this moment, CPU 31 reads processing procedure RT2 in step SP38 end picture information, and treatment step SP37 not.
Then, execution in step SP32-SP33-SP34-SP 35-SP36-SP37-SP38 when CPU 31 produces the interruption data at each communication disruption timer 45, with the frame information specification data FRDAT according to the timetable data TMDAT that reads from timetable data storage 35B, execution sequence receives the processing of the distribution of image information.
When the data that in the timetable that is distributed to timetable data storage 35C thereafter, do not have to read, thereby obtain negative decision and CPU 31 proceeds to step SP36 at step SP32.
Above-mentioned processing is aimed at the situation that the timetable data of general picture is distributed to timetable data storage 35B.On the other hand, under the situation of motion picture, SP33 obtains positive result in above-mentioned steps, is the piecemeal moving picture data file that comprises " PazInf " between the attribute literary composition for its timetable data so handle.At this moment, CPU 31 proceeds to step SP40 property file information " PazInf " is downloaded to picture data memory 35C from program distribution server 2, and at next procedure SP41, CPU31 will be included in piecemeal file storage in the property file information " PazInf " extraly in picture data memory 35C.
The result, when the piecemeal motion picture file that comprises property file information " PazInf " is contained in the timetable that is distributed to timetable data storage 35B, the branch block file adjoining land that is included in the property file information " PazInf " all reads among the picture data memory 53C, thereby they can be stored with other image information of timetable extraly.
When finishing the piecemeal motion picture file of download time table, it is that other frame information specification data FRDAT that is included in the timetable that timetable data storage 35B stored repeats this processing that CPU 31 turns back to step SP31.When thereafter step SP32 obtains negative decision, it means that the image information (comprising general picture and piecemeal motion picture) of the frame information specification data FRDAT that is stored among the timetable data storage 35B has all downloaded among the distribution picture data memory 35C, and this moment, CPU 31 skips steps SP36, SP37 stop image information at step SP38 and read processing procedure RT2.(5-5) the general reproduction shows the timer processing procedure
Under the situation that the step SP12 of the X passage button processing procedure RT1 of Figure 27 begins, CPU 31 carried out general reproduction demonstration interrupt timer processing procedure RT3 each should generally the reproduction when data are interrupted in demonstration interrupt timer 46A generation at the general demonstration interrupt timer 46A that reappears.
When general reproduction showed that interrupt timer processing procedure RT3 begins, CPU 31 determined at step SP41 whether the stand-by period pass, and when the stand-by period does not pass, CPU 31 gets back to above-mentioned steps SP41 passing with the wait stand-by period.
When the stand-by period passes, CPU 31 proceeds to step SP43 to determine whether the distribution picture data is present among the picture data memory 35C of distribution, and when obtaining positive result, it proceeds to step SP44 to determine whether to exist the demonstration time picture data that is complementary with the current time.
This moment is when obtaining positive result, mean when the user operates the X passage button and be present in the distribution picture data memory 35C at the picture data that time tx (Figure 30 (A)) downloads from program distribution server 2, and in this case, whether with the type of determining picture data be " html " picture (general frame information picture), " cab " picture (MPEG squeezed) or " paz " picture (piecemeal motion picture) to CPU 31 if proceeding to step SP45.
When CPU 31 has determined type is general picture " html ", and CPU 31 proceeds to step SP46 and picture data is sent to graphic interface 37 to produce the picture of this picture data.
In this embodiment, graphic interface 37 as above alternately produces two pictures (point out and be first and second browser menu) as described in Figure 14 and Figure 15, and CPU 31 determines current which picture that produced at next procedure SP47, is first browser menu or two browser menu.
When the result showed first browser menu, CPU 31 proceeded to step SP48 to read the picture data in first browser, shows second browser menu at next procedure SP49, and proceeds to next procedure SP50.When the result of step SP47 showed second browser menu, on the contrary, CPU 31 proceeded to step SP51 to read second picture data in the browser, shows first browser menu at step SP52, proceeds to step SP50 then.
By this way, first and second browsers of CPU 31 usefulness graphic interfaces 37 alternately will show that picture data that interrupt timer 46A provides be presented at as first and second browser menus on the display screen of display 38 (Figure 28) from general reproduction, show the picture data that interrupt timer 46 deletions showed at step SP50 from general reproduction then, stop general the reproduction at step SP57 then and show interrupt timer processing procedure RT3.
The result, as long as picture data is present in the general reproduction that shows interrupt timer 46 and shows among the interrupt timer 46A, the operation of repeating step SP43-SP44-SP45-SP46-SP47-(SP48, SP49 or SP51, SP52)-SP50-SP57 when CPU 31 shows that in each general reproduction data are interrupted in interrupt timer 46A generation, be presented at picture on the display screen 38A of display 38, show the picture data that deletion showed the interrupt timer 46A from general reproduction then all general picture datas " html ".
On the other hand, when having determined that at step SP45 delivering to the picture data that shows interrupt timer 46 is packed data " cab ", CPU 31 decompresses this squeezed to convert thereof into and the general identical picture data of picture data at step SP55.
After squeezed " cab " being converted to the picture data identical with general picture data, CPU 31 by with the identical loop of described general picture " html ", proceed to aforesaid step SP46, the display screen 38A that compressed frames is presented at display 38 upward and from general reproduction shows that deletion showed picture data the interrupt timer 46A.
On the other hand, when the result of above-mentioned steps SP45 shows that the picture that will handle is motion picture " paz ", CPU 31 proceeds to step SP56 to stop the general operation that shows interrupt timer 46A that reappears, and activate motion picture and generally reappear demonstration interrupt timer 46B, the motion picture of carrying out Figure 33 then when each motion picture generally reappears demonstration interrupt timer 46B generation interruption data generally reappears and shows interrupt timer processing procedure RT4, and when this process finished, CPU 31 stopped general the reproduction at step SP57 and shows interrupt timer processing procedure RT3.
When on the contrary when above-mentioned steps SP43 obtains negative decision, mean that the picture data among the distribution picture data memory 35C all shows, in this case, CPU 31 closes program display panel DIP2 (Figure 28) at step SP58, and will indicate the Stop message D3 of mode of operation to give program Control Server 3 (Figure 24) at step SP59, and stop general the reproduction at step SP57 then and show interrupt timer processing procedure RT3.
In addition, when when above-mentioned steps SP44 obtains negative decision, though this means that picture data is retained in general reproduction and shows among the interrupt timer 46A, but these data do not need to show, and in this case, CPU 31 proceeds to above-mentioned steps SP58 generally reappears demonstration interrupt timer processing procedure RT3 with executive termination processing.(5-6) motion picture generally reappears and shows the interrupt timer processing procedure
With reference to Figure 33, when motion picture generally reappears when showing that interrupt timer processing procedure RT4 begins, CPU 31 determines whether the picture datas among the distribution picture memory 35C comprise property file information " PzaInf ".
When obtaining positive result, this means that this picture data is the piecemeal moving picture data, and in this case, CPU 31 proceeds to step SP62 to calculate the total amount of picture data in the dependency fileinfo, and produce any file FILEX of motion picture to F10 according to the frame data F1 in piecemeal motion picture memory 49, described as reference Figure 30 (A) to 30 (C).
Next, CPU 31 determines at next procedure SP64 whether the piecemeal picture data is present among the piecemeal motion picture memory 35C.
When obtaining positive result, CPU 31 proceeds to step SP65 with among any file FILEX of motion picture (Figure 30 (C)) that the piecemeal picture data is stored in piecemeal motion picture memory 49.
Next, CPU 31 determines whether the piecemeal picture data that at first will handle is first piecemeal picture data of any file FILEX of motion picture, and when obtaining positive result, CPU 31 sequentially outputs to the reproduction of graphic interface 37 with the setting in motion picture at the piecemeal picture that step SP68 will be stored among any file FILEX of motion picture, proceeds to above-mentioned steps SP70 then.
In this case, graphic interface 37 produces as first and second motion pictures of browsing one of its picture BR1 and BR2 to show motion picture (Figure 28) on the DP1 of program display part.
Then, CPU 31 is for being stored among any file FILEX of motion picture second, third ... the piecemeal picture is carried out the reproduction of motion picture and is handled, then owing to obtained negative decision (because of second, third at step SP67 ... divide block file to be reproduced), CPU 31 obtains the result who negates and proceeds to step SP69 at step SP67, is stored in the header data HD among any file FILEX of motion picture and has been presented at moving picture data on the display 38 with deletion sequentially.
Therefore, motion picture generally reappears and shows that interrupt timer 46B can delete header data and the picture data of the motion picture that shown, thereby has guaranteed the safety of the motion picture of distribution.
When having reappeared all when being stored in piecemeal moving picture data among any file FILEX of motion picture, obtain the result that negates at step SP64, and thereby all picture files that CPU 31 determines whether this document in step 70 (promptly, will distribute with a corresponding push-button picture file of X passage) all distributed, and when obtaining positive result, CPU 31 stop motion pictures generally reappear and show interrupt timer 46B and start generally at next procedure SP71 that reproduction shows interrupt timer 46A, thereby and make general reproduction show that interrupt timer 46A carries out following picture data demonstration and handles (Figure 32).Then, finish motion picture at step SP72 and generally reappear demonstration timer processing procedure RT4.
When above-mentioned steps SP70 obtains positive result, the processing that this means file is not also finished and in this case, CPU 31 proceeds to step SP72 and generally reappears and show interrupt timer processing procedure RT4 to finish motion picture immediately, and generally reappears at each motion picture and to show that interrupt timer 46B produces process repeats RT4 when interrupting data.(5-7) reappear demonstration interrupt timer processing procedure in the middle of the motion picture
Reappear demonstration interrupt timer 46C when the step SP21 of X passage button processing procedure RT1 begins (Figure 27) when motion is middle, CPU 31 reproduction in the middle of each motion picture shows carries out the middle demonstration interrupt timer processing procedure RT5 that reappears of motion picture when data are interrupted in interrupt timer 46C generation.
At this moment, CPU 31 determines whether there is picture data among the distribution picture memory 35C at step SP82.
When obtaining positive result, this means and exist the moving picture data that will reappear from the centre, and in this case, CPU 31 proceeds to step SP83 the piecemeal picture data is stored in the piecemeal motion picture memory 49, and at step SP84, the piecemeal picture data is stored in (Figure 30 (C)) any file FILEX of motion picture (under the situation of Figure 30 (D), the 6th to the 10th piecemeal picture data F6 is stored in the 6th to the 10th any file divided block frame 6X of any file FILEX of motion picture in 10X to F10 from the centre.)。
Then, CPJU 31 determines at step SP85 whether the reproduction of motion picture begins, and when obtaining negative decision, CPU 31 reappears initiation command file [7, smi] (file that the step SP20 that uses at Figure 27 creates) at step SP86 by the centre and begins to carry out reproduction from the centre.
Opposite to when step SP85 obtains positive result, mean that reproduction is not to begin from the centre to carry out, and in this case, CPU 31 proceeds to step SP87, and the middle of execution in step SP86 do not reappear.
Then, the middle of moving picture data that CPU 31 stops to begin to be stored in any file FILEX of motion picture from the centre reappears, and proceeds to step SP87 to determine whether file finishes.When obtaining positive result, CPU 31 reappears in the middle of the step SP88 stop motion picture and shows interrupt timer 46C and start general the reproduction and show interrupt timer 46A, thereby carries out the general processing that reappears the processing that shows interrupt timer processing procedure RT3 (Figure 32) with other picture data of carrying out file.Then, in the middle of finishing motion picture, reappears step SP89 demonstration interrupt timer processing procedure RT5.
When step SP82 obtains positive result, this means and finish middle the reproduction, CPU 31 proceeds to step SP87 and when when step SP87 obtains negative decision then, this means also not finish to be the operation of corresponding X passage button processing that CPU31 is directly to step SP89 and shows interrupt timer processing procedure RT5 to stop reappearing in the middle of the motion picture then to a series of files that will handle.(5-8) operation
In said structure, when the control panel shows that display screen 38A that DIP1 is presented at display 38 goes up (Figure 26), operated among the channel selector switch part DP2 any passage button (promptly, the X passage button) time, user terminal 6A, 6B ... the X passage timetable TMDAT that receives corresponding to the X passage push-botton operation time from program Control Server 3 with channel table data storage 35A (Figure 23) at the step SP10 of X passage button processing procedure RT1 of CPU 31.
The picture type of TMDAT distribution as per the schedule is general picture " html ", squeezed " cab " and piecemeal motion picture " paz ", and say that further piecemeal motion picture " paz " has two kinds of situations: from beginning part reappear fully and from the reproduction of centre part.
CPU 31 determines the type (Figure 27) of picture at step SP11, and when having determined that motion picture will be when the centre begins to reappear, CPU 31 reappears any file FILEX of motion picture (Figure 30 (C)) (at step SP19), reappear initiation command file [7 in the middle of creating, smi] (at step SP20), then timetable is given middle reproduction of communication disruption timer 45 and motion picture and shown that interrupt timer 46 is to activate them.
On the other hand, under general situation of reappearing display picture data, CPU 31 step SP12 give communication timer 45 with timetable and show interrupt timer 46 with activate they (Figure 27).
Under the situation of general picture " html " and squeezed " cab ", communication disruption timer 45 is downloaded image information with (at step SP34, the SP35 of Figure 31) the picture data memory 35C that they is stored in distribution from Distributor 2.On the contrary, under the situation of motion picture " paz ", the communication disruption timer from Distributor 2 download property file information " PazInf " and extraly with the piecemeal file storage the property file information " PazInf " in distribution picture data memory 35C (at step SP40, the SP41 of Figure 31).
CPU 31 activates the demonstration timer according to the type of picture with the picture data that is distributed to above-mentioned distribution picture data memory 35C, thereby picture data is presented on the program display part DP1 of display 38.
Promptly, start demonstration interrupt timer 46 by receiving picture data, and under the situation of the distribution that receives general picture " html " or squeezed " ", CPU 31 directly is presented at general picture " html " or decompressed squeezed " cab " on the display screen 38A with the first and second browser BR1 and BR2 (at step SP48, SP49 or SP51, the SP52 of Figure 32) according to the general display panel processing procedure RT3 (Figure 32) that reappears.
Showing under the situation of piecemeal motion picture " paz " from the beginning part, CPU 31 carries out general the reproduction and shows interrupt timer processing procedure RT3 (Figure 32), when CPU 31 detects piecemeal motion picture " paz " (the step SP45 of Figure 32) then, it stops general reproduction demonstration timer 46A and activates motion picture and generally reappear demonstration timer 46B (SP56) generally to reappear the reproduction (the step SP68 of Figure 33) that shows interrupt timer processing procedure RT4 (Figure 33) setting in motion picture according to motion picture.
For reappearing motion picture, basis is created any file FILEX of motion picture (Figure 30 (C)) based on the total amount of the picture data of property file information [PazInf] (Figure 29 (D)) in piecemeal motion picture memory 49, memory partitioning picture data in any file FILEX of motion picture, thus when frame by frame moving picture data being distributed to distribution picture data 35C, sequentially moving picture data is presented at (before all frame pictures arrive) (the step SP64 of Figure 33, SP65, SP66, SP68) on the display screen 38A at every turn.
On the contrary, beginning to watch under the situation of motion picture from the centre, the middle initiation command file [7, sml] that reappears that CPU 31 can create by step SP19, the SP20 at X passage button processing procedure RT1 (Figure 27) shows that according to middle reproduction of motion picture interrupt timer processing procedure RT5 (Figure 34) execution reappears and demonstration (the step SP83 of Figure 34, SP84, SP86).
Generally reappear and show when reappearing demonstration interrupt timer processing procedure RT5 (Figure 34) in the middle of interrupt timer processing procedure RT4 (Figure 33) and the motion picture when having finished motion picture, CPU 31 shows that according to general the reproduction interrupt timer processing procedure RT3 (Figure 32) carries out processing (the step SP71 of Figure 33 of back, the step SP88 of Figure 34), even thereby after moving picture data, distributed other picture data, show interrupt timer processing procedure RT3 (Figure 32), all picture (html by general reproduction, cab, paz) demonstration is handled and also can be guaranteed to continue.
