Abstract
An information processing apparatus executes communication with a data storage device via a network. The information processing apparatus includes a unit that designates a section of a stream of data stored in the data storage device, the section being to be downloaded into the information processing apparatus, and a unit that acquires partial data, which includes a stream belonging to the designated section within the stream of the data, from the data storage device via the network.
Claims19
An information processing apparatus for performing communication with a data storage device via a network, comprising:
- means for designating a section of a stream of data stored in the data storage device, the section being to be downloaded into the information processing apparatus;
- and
- means for acquiring partial data, which includes a stream belonging to the designated section, from the data storage device via the network.
An information processing apparatus for performing communication with a data storage device via a network, comprising:
- means for displaying, as a preview image, an image at a given position on a stream of motion video data stored in the data storage device on a display screen of the information processing apparatus;
- means for designating a start point and an end point of a stream to be downloaded into the information processing apparatus, which is included in the stream of the motion video data;
- and
- means for acquiring partial data including a stream, which is included in the stream of the motion video data and belongs to a range between the start point and the end position designated by the designating means, from the data storage device via the network.
A data transfer method of transferring data stored in a server to an information processing apparatus via a network, comprising:
- designating a section of a stream of data stored in the server, the section being to be downloaded into the information processing apparatus;
- and
- transferring partial data, which includes a stream belonging to the designated section within the stream of the data, from the server to the information processing apparatus.
