- step S101 If it is determined in step S101 that the push-media-adapted command is not included, the process ends.
- the playback client 12 transmits an MPD request including a push-init-segment command. Therefore, the playback client 12 can receive both the MPD file and the initialization segment file only by transmitting the MPD request. That is, the playback client 12 does not need to send an HTTP GET request for requesting transmission of the initialization segment file. Therefore, the playback client 12 can efficiently request transmission of the initialization segment file. Further, since the distribution server 11 does not need to wait for the reception of HTTP GET requesting the transmission of the initialization segment file, the distribution server 11 can efficiently transmit the initialization segment file.
- the push-init-segment command can specify the media type and attributes of the initialization segment file that requires transmission. Therefore, unnecessary initialization segment files need not be received wastefully, and further efficiency in receiving initialization segment files can be realized. As a result, startup can be speeded up.
- the push command included in the MPD request if the media type or attribute of the initialization segment file that requires transmission cannot be specified, all media types and attributes are initialized according to the MPD request.
- a segment file is sent.
- the playback client 12 when only the URL of the initialization segment file can be specified, the playback client 12 does not acquire the MPD file at the time of the MPD request and cannot specify the URL. . Accordingly, initialization segment files of all media types and attributes are transmitted.
- the reception buffer 54 needs a large capacity to hold the received initialization segment file. For example, when there are a large number of media types and attributes, the reception buffer 54 needs to hold an initialization segment file whose data amount is many times the data amount of the initialization segment file necessary for reproduction.
- the playback client 12 cannot include the push command in the MPD request.
- the playback client 12 needs to send an HTTP GET request for requesting transmission of the initialization segment file necessary for playback for each initialization segment file.
- the playback client 12 sends a media request including a push-media-adapted command. Therefore, the playback client 12 can receive not only the media segment file whose URL is specified in the media request but also the subsequent media segment file simply by transmitting the media request. That is, the playback client 12 does not need to send a media request for each subsequent media segment file. Therefore, the playback client 12 can efficiently request transmission of the subsequent media segment file. Further, since the distribution server 11 does not have to wait for reception of a media request for requesting transmission of the subsequent media segment file, the distribution server 11 can efficiently transmit the subsequent media segment file.
- the push-media-adapted command can specify the allowable range of the encoding bit rate of the subsequent media segment file. Therefore, the distribution server 11 can change the encoding bit rate of the subsequent media segment file to be transmitted within an allowable range according to the effective bandwidth of the network 13. As a result, the reproduction quality is improved.
- the bandwidth estimation unit 57 cannot estimate the effective bandwidth of the network 13 yet. Therefore, in this case, the selection unit 53 sets a relatively low encoding bit rate as the encoding bit rate of the media segment file whose URL is specified by the media request. Therefore, when this encoding bit rate is applied to the encoding bit rate of the subsequent media segment file, the encoding bit rate of the subsequent media segment file is not an encoding bit rate suitable for the effective band of the network 13.
- the playback client 12 specifies the allowable range of the encoding bit rate of the subsequent media segment file in the push-media-adapted command. Thereby, the playback client 12 can change the encoding bit rate of the subsequent media segment file to be received to an encoding bit rate suitable for the effective band of the network 13 within an allowable range. As a result, the reproduction quality is improved.
- the playback client 12 does not need to send a command according to the effective bandwidth of the network 13 to the distribution server 11 in order to receive the subsequent media segment file having an encoding bit rate suitable for the effective bandwidth of the network 13. Therefore, subsequent media segments having an encoding bit rate suitable for the effective bandwidth of the network 13 can be efficiently received.
- the playback client 12 needs to cancel the push command. Then, the playback client 12 needs to newly transmit a media request including a push command that specifies an encoding bit rate suitable for the execution band. Therefore, even if a long period is specified as the period of the subsequent media segment file, the probability of canceling the push command and transmitting the media request increases, and therefore the time required for transmitting the media segment file may not be suppressed.
- the period of the subsequent media segment file can be specified together with the allowable range of the encoding bit rate. Therefore, the reproduction client 12 can change the allowable range of the encoding bit rate step by step.

- a lower limit value or an upper limit value that is not specified is set to 0 indicating that it is not specified.
- bitrate ” “ 400000-0 ”
- the lower limit value is not specified
- the playback client 12 may send an HTTP GET request for requesting sending of an initialization segment file other than the initialization segment file sent by the push-init-segment command. Even in this case, it is possible to reduce the number of HTTP GET requests compared to the case where all initialization segment files are requested to be transmitted by HTTP GET requests.
- the playback client 12 always includes the push-media-adapted command in the media request, but may include a push command other than the push-media-adapted command.
- the playback client 12 may include a push command that specifies only the period of the subsequent media segment file in the media request.
- the information indicating the period of the subsequent media segment file included in the push command is, for example, the number of subsequent media segment files (Push-next), the playback time (Push-time), or a URL list or URL template And a parameter (Push-template) that specifies the range ($ number $) to which the template is applied.
- a subsequent media segment file having the same encoding bit rate as the media segment file whose URL is specified in the media request is transmitted to the playback client 12.
- the adaptation set element has media type, language, and role attributes
- the representation element has an encoding bit rate attribute.
- the media type and attribute may be included in either the adaptation set element or the representation element.
- the attribute type is the video content encoding bit rate, language, and role (purpose), but the video resolution, frame rate, audio sampling rate, number of channels, etc. May be.
- the code "resolution” indicating the video resolution as a parameter and the range of the number of pixels in the vertical direction as the video resolution attribute information are connected by equals. It is.
- the resolution information of the video resolution is 2160 when the attribute is 4k resolution, 1080 when the attribute is full HD resolution, and 480 when the attribute is SD resolution.
- the video representation element has video resolution attribute information as a height attribute.
- the code "audioSamplingRate" that indicates the audio sampling rate as a parameter and the sampling rate range as attribute information of the audio sampling rate are connected by equals. It is. For example, when the audio sampling rate attribute is 48 kHz, the attribute information is 48000.
- an audio representation element has audio sampling rate attribute information as an audioSamplingRate attribute.
- the range information includes information (for example, Representation id) that identifies a subsequent media segment file to which a subsequent media segment file having an encoding bit rate within an allowable range as Bandwidth belongs, and a subsequent media segment file that belongs to the representation element. It may be the range of URL.
- FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a configuration example of a frame in the WebSocket protocol.
