Abstract
A method, apparatus and system for transmitting moving image data, in which various moving image data of existent media files are efficiently delivered to existent TV cellular phones in reproducible format. A media file storage stores media files created in arbitrary format for filing moving images. A storage stores codec information on voice/image data and the media files as intermediate formatted data. A media file controller multiplexes the intermediate formatted data to generate a bit stream of voice/image data based on the codec information on the voice/image data. The interface converter transmits the bit stream of voice/image data to a TV cellular phone.

A moving image data transmitting system for enabling a cellular phone to reproduce image data produced by an image data processing protocol of a different format, comprising:
- TV cellular phones having TV phone function for receiving and reproducing transmitted dynamic images;
- a media file storage for storing media files which are formed in arbitrary format for filing moving images;
- an interface converter for multiplexing intermediate formatted data to generate a bit stream of voice/image data and sending the bit stream to the TV cellular phones;
- a media file controller for sending the intermediate formatted data and codec information on the voice/image data to the interface converter;
- and
- a storage for storing the codec information on the voice/image data from the media file controller and the media files from the media file storage as the intermediate formatted data.
A moving image data transmitting apparatus for enabling a cellular phone to reproduce image data produced by an image data processing protocol of a different format, comprising:
- a media file storing means for storing media files which are formed in arbitrary format for filing moving images;
- an interface converting means for multiplexing intermediate formatted data to generate a bit stream of voice/image data and sending the bit stream to TV cellular phones having TV phone function for receiving and reproducing transmitted dynamic images;
- a media file controlling means for sending the intermediate formatted data and codec information on the voice/image data to the interface converting means;
- and
- an intermediate formatted data storing means for storing the codec information on the voice/image data from the media file controlling means and the media files from the media file storing means as the intermediate formatted data.
A moving image data transmitting method for enabling a cellular phone having TV phone function for receiving and reproducing transmitted dynamic images to reproduce image data produced by an image data processing protocol of a different format, comprising the steps of:
- storing media files which are formed in arbitrary format for filing moving images in a media file storing means;
- multiplexing intermediate formatted data to generate a bit stream of voice/image data and sending the bit stream through an interface converting means;
- sending the intermediate formatted data and codec (code/decode) information on the voice/image data to the interface converting means by a media file controlling means;
- and
- storing the codec information on the voice/image data from the media file controlling means and the media files from the media file storing means as the intermediate formatted data in a storing means.
