Data transmission system

A data transmission method for distributing predetermined data through transmission paths, the data transmission method comprising the steps of:

• inputting the predetermined data to divide the input data into a predetermined number of data files to generate divisional data files to transmit each of the divisional data files through a predetermined transmission path;
• and
• receiving each of the divisional data files transmitted through the predetermined transmission paths to restore the received divisional data files into original data to output the restored data.

A data transmission system for transmitting moving picture data files through transmission paths, the data transmission system comprising:

• a data transmitting apparatus including data dividing means for dividing one moving picture data file into a plurality of divisional distribution data files which are restored to an original data file by synthesis, and data transmitting means for transmitting each of the divided divisional distribution data files to each of a plurality of transmission paths which are different from each other;
• and
• a data receiving apparatus including data receiving means for receiving the plural divisional distribution data files from the plurality of the different transmission paths, and restoring means for synthesizing the plurality of the received divisional distribution data files to restore one moving picture data file.
