A data reception apparatus is provided with a data request/reception unit for requesting media data corresponding to first and second foreground images from servers having the media data, and receiving a message from each servers; and a control data generation unit for controlling the data request/reception unit such that it issues a request message for each media data at a time by a predetermined latency time earlier than the display start time of each foreground image, on the basis of information indicating the latency time before starting display of the foreground image, which information is included in SMIL data indicating scene description. Therefore, each of the first and second foreground images can be combined with a background image and displayed at a time designated in the scene description.
A data reception apparatus for obtaining media data which is any of video data, audio data, and text data, and corresponds to plural elements constituting a scene, from data sources on a network, and playing the obtained media data to display the scene, said apparatus comprising:
A data reception method for obtaining media data which is any of video data, audio data, and text data, and corresponds to plural elements constituting a scene, from data sources on a network, and playing the obtained media data to display the scene, said method comprising:
A data transmission method for transmitting media data which is any of video data, audio data, and text data and corresponds to plural elements constituting a scene, to a reception terminal for playing the media data to display the scene, said method comprising:
A data storage medium containing a data playback program to make a computer perform a data playback process of obtaining media data which is any of video data, audio data, and text data, and corresponds to plural elements constituting a scene, from data sources on a network, and playing the obtained media data to display the scene, said data playback program comprising:
A data storage medium which contains a data transmission program to make a computer perform a data transmission process of transmitting media data which is any of video data, audio data, and text data and corresponds to plural elements constituting a scene, to a reception terminal for playing the media data to display the scene, said data transmission program comprising:
