Abstract
The present invention provides a method for processing content data. The method comprises buffering a sequence of received compressed content data blocks (510), determining a level of available buffering for the received compressed content data blocks (550), determining a sub-set of compressed content data blocks to be decoded from the sequence of received compressed content data blocks (515), the sub-set of compressed content data blocks being dependent on the level of available buffering, and decoding the sub-set of compressed content data blocks to generate decompressed content data blocks (520).
Claims20
A method for processing content data, comprising:
- buffering a sequence of received compressed content data blocks;
- determining a level of available buffering for the received compressed content data blocks;
- determining a sub-set of compressed content data blocks to be decoded from the sequence of received compressed content data blocks, the sub-set of compressed content data blocks being dependent on the level of available buffering;
- and
- decoding the sub-set of compressed content data blocks to generate decompressed content data blocks.
An electronic device comprising:
- a buffer arranged to buffer a sequence of received compressed content data blocks;
- a decoder coupled to the buffer and arranged to generate decompressed content data blocks in response to receiving compressed content data blocks;
- a processor arranged to determine a level of available buffering for the compressed content data blocks from the buffer and to determine a sub-set of compressed content data blocks to be forwarded to the decoder from the buffer, the sub-set of compressed content data blocks being dependent on the level of available buffering.
