Definitions
- the present invention relates to a data reproducing apparatus, a data reproducing method, and a program, and more particularly, to a data reproducing apparatus, a method, and a program in which a buffering threshold of content data to be stream-reproduced is changed according to a bit rate.
- Streaming playback is a technology in which a client requests data transfer from a server, starts playback of the data before the entire data is received from the server, and executes playback in parallel with the reception.
- high-compression means for data include ATRAC 3 (Ad- aptive Transform Acoustic Coding 3) (trademark) ⁇ MP 3 (MPEG Audi- o Layer 3) and other conventional data compression formats. A much higher compression ratio can be achieved.
- Streaming playback processing can be divided into download processing from the network, buffering of downloaded data at the terminal, and playback of buffered data.
- the process of downloading from the network has a problem such as the time required for buffering being changed depending on the instability due to the network conditions. It is supposed that the playback quality does not deteriorate. In other words, in portable information terminal equipment, stable playback quality is ensured and music playback is ensured by optimally selecting a threshold using network transmission capacity indicating the instability of downloading from the network and the time required for buffering as parameters. The start time can be optimized. .
- Patent Literature 1 listed below describes an invention relating to down-loading and streaming reproduction of data from a server by an information terminal device.
- streaming playback if the data rate to be transferred is not higher than the data rate at which data is consumed by the playback, playback will catch up with the transfer and playback will stop. Therefore, in streaming playback, it is necessary to increase the data transfer rate.
- streaming playback on the other hand, if the transfer speed is too high, a large data request is made at one time, and when data exceeding the capacity of the internal buffer prepared on the client side is transferred, the buffer overflows. Occurs, and the overflowing data becomes missing data. In order to avoid this, it is necessary to request the server to transfer a part of the data at one time so that no overflow occurs, and repeat this request many times.
- Fig. 9 shows an example of the processing procedure for streaming playback in Patent;
- the information terminal device calculates an initial request size (S11).
- the information terminal device requests the server to transfer the partial data corresponding to the calculated request size (S12).
- the information terminal device starts receiving data (S13), waits for buffering (accumulation) of a predetermined amount (dO) of data (S14), and re-starts. Start life (S15).
- the information terminal device continues the following processing until all the downloaded data has been reproduced (S16).
- the amount of all data can be recognized on the information terminal device side in advance by the information notified from the server before the download starts. ;
- step S17 the information terminal device determines whether or not all the partial data for the current request has been obtained. The information terminal device returns to step S15 until all of the partial data is obtained. After acquiring all the partial data for the current request, the information terminal device calculates the request size at that time (S18). If the remaining untransferred data in the server is smaller than the requested size (S19, Yes), the information terminal device issues a transfer request for the remaining data (S21). If not (S 19, No), the information terminal device checks the size of the remaining buffer (br) (S 20). The information terminal device returns to step S15 and continues reproduction until the remaining amount becomes smaller than the threshold value.
- step S15 the information terminal device does not perform the reception processing because the reception of the partial data for the previous request has been completed.
- the information terminal device When the remaining buffer capacity becomes equal to or less than the threshold in step S20, the information terminal device requests the server to transfer the next partial data with the requested size (S21). Next, the information terminal device returns to step S15, and executes reception and reproduction in parallel. In this streaming reproduction, reproduction can be started immediately in response to a user request, and the downloaded data can be transmitted.

- the streaming data is controlled by the streaming control unit 10a.
- the streaming control unit 10a is a function realized by the CPU 11 controlling the network device 15 to use 15a.
- the streaming control unit 10a acquires the streaming data of MP3 from the server 5 and accumulates it in the MP3 data storage area 13b. At this time, the streaming control unit 10a determines the compression rate from the information on the bit rate (how much digital data is converted into one second) into the header information of the obtained streaming data. For example, the streaming control unit 10a can determine that the compression rate is low when the bit rate is high, and that the compression rate is high when the bit rate is low. In addition, the streaming control unit 10a transmits data via the network 4. The load on the network 4 is determined from the data transfer speed.
- the streaming control unit 10a changes the values of the first threshold T1 and the second threshold T2 according to the compression ratio of the streaming data and the load on the network 4. Specifically, the value of the first threshold T.1 and the value of the second threshold T2 increase as the compression ratio decreases. Also, the larger the load on the network 4 (the lower the transfer speed), the larger the values of the first threshold T1 and the second threshold T2.

- the CPU 11 of the client terminal 10 transmits a portion of the maximum size to the server 5 within a range where the compressed data does not overflow in the HDD 13.
- Request data transfer (S2) Thereafter, the CPU 11 starts data reception, waits for buffering (accumulation) of a predetermined amount of compressed data, and starts music reproduction (expansion) in parallel with the reception (S3).
- the CPU 11 determines whether all data of the music information to be downloaded has been reproduced (S4). As a result, when the reproduction is not completed, the CPU 11 detects the data capacity of the compressed data temporarily stored in the HDD 13 and the compression ratio of the received compressed data (S5).
- step S5 the CPU 11 can detect the compression rate based on the header of the file of the received compressed data or the data included in the hook. Further, in step S5, the CPU 11 can also detect the compression rate based on the bit rate data of the received compressed data.
- the CPU 11 sets a threshold value for the data capacity of the stored compressed data in accordance with the compression ratio detected in step S5, and performs control so that the threshold value is changed as necessary (S6). .
- step S6 the CPU 11 changes the threshold to be increased when the compression ratio of the compressed data temporarily stored in the HDD 13 is reduced, and is decreased when the compression ratio is increased. Control.
- the CPU 11 checks whether the remaining amount of the unreproduced compressed data in the HDD 13 has become equal to or less than the set threshold (S7).
- the CPU 11 temporarily stops the reproduction (S8), and returns to the reproduction step S7.
- the downloading of the compressed data by the client terminal 10 is continued.
- the CPU 11 eventually determines in step S7 that the remaining amount of the compressed data has become equal to or greater than the set threshold value, and at that time returns to step S3 to resume the data reproduction, and Step S 4 Repeat ⁇ S8.
- the CPU 11 ends the reproduction when all the data has been reproduced (S9).
- the CPU 11 can continue the reproduction until a predetermined timing without immediately stopping the reproduction even when the remaining amount of the compressed data becomes equal to or smaller than the threshold value in step S8. This enables the CPU 11 to adjust the interval between sound interruptions, thereby suppressing a decrease in reproduction quality due to sound interruptions.
- step S6 the CPU 11 determines the timing for interrupting the download to the HDD 13 separately from the first threshold T1, which determines the timing for reading the compressed data from the HDD 13 first.
- the second threshold value T2 is set, and each is controlled to change.
- the threshold value T1 is N, where N is the network performance (the transmission capacity of the communication network), B is the compression ratio, and R is the coefficient for converting the number of bytes
- T 1 NXB XR
- T 2 2NXB XR.
- the performance N is a coefficient whose highest value is 1 (best case) and whose lowest value is 2 (worst case).
- the compression ratio B is the content bit rate
- the threshold value be changed and controlled according to not only the compression ratio B but also the transmission capacity of the communication network used. This is because the reception speed of compressed data may be lower than the playback speed when the network condition deteriorates. Note that the control for changing the thresholds T 1 and T 2 by the CPU 11 can be performed by a threshold setting table.
- a buffer amount that can absorb the instability of the network state and the time required for buffering can be set in advance as the threshold T1. Then, the information terminal device starts playback when the remaining amount of the compressed data exceeds the threshold T1 (S3). When the remaining amount exceeds the threshold T2, the information terminal device continues playback and downloads from the network. And then resumes downloading from the network when the remaining data falls below the threshold T2 (S3), and pauses playback when the data falls below the threshold T1 (S3). S8). With this streaming reproduction, the information terminal device can absorb in the buffer a sensitive input factor of instability of downloading from the network, and can prevent unpleasant sound interruption.

- the compressed data transmitted from the transmitting side there are data of a ⁇ bit rate of 128 [K bps] and data of a low bit rate of 64 [K bps] by the MP3 compression method. And expand them. It expands and restores the original music data to obtain PCM data.
- the amount of information per second is expressed as a bit rate.
- 128 [Kbps] is a general bit rate.
- the high bit rate of the compressed data means that although the pressure
- ID3Tag attached to the IP3 file character information such as the title of the music, artist name, and music genre, as well as the compression ratio and sampling frequency described above, can be freely written.
- the threshold value for the data capacity of the compressed data is fixed regardless of the bit rate of the compressed data stored in the buffer memory, as shown in FIG. 7, the content having a high bit rate (128 [Kbps]) Obviously, the music data restored from the PCM will be smaller. In other words, 4 minutes of PCM data can be obtained from the compressed data with a bit rate of 64 [Kbps] shown in FIG. 7 (a), and even if this is the optimal amount, the bit rate 1 shown in FIG. For 2 8 [Kbps], only 1/2 (2 minutes) of PCM data can be obtained with the same threshold value. In streaming playback, if there is a lack of data in the buffered PCM data, the interval between sound breaks becomes shorter and the playback quality deteriorates.
- the threshold for a bit rate of 128 [Kb ps] is calculated as shown in Fig. 8 (b ), As long as 4 minutes of PCM data can be obtained, double the content (6 4 [K bps 3]) of low-bit content (6 4 [K bps 3]) with the same threshold value. PCM data can be reproduced. If such PCM data becomes excessive, the buffer memory will hold more data than necessary, resulting in waste of resources in the information terminal device.
- the reproduction quality can be guaranteed while optimizing memory resources by changing and setting the threshold value in the buffer memory according to the bit rate of the compressed data to be distributed. .
- the threshold can be set low in the data reproduction method.
- a high bit rate low compression ratio
- a high threshold is set in the buffer memory.
- the threshold value at the time of buffering is selected according to the bit rate of the compressed data, so that the sound cutoff interval due to data loss of the reproduced data can be appropriately adjusted. Reproduction quality can be guaranteed.
- an appropriate threshold can be selected according to the requirements of the information terminal device, such as the bit rate corresponding to the compressed data to be received and the memory size for buffering the data. Resources can be optimized.
