Abstract
Disclosed is a method by which a multimedia device processes a multimedia packet. To this end, a multimedia packet, which comprises a header including a type information field having type information recorded therein, and a payload including data of a type indicated by the type information, is received, and, when it is recognized that null data is not included in the payload by the type information, the data included in the payload may be processed.
Claims16
A method of processing a multimedia packet in a multimedia device, the method comprising:
- receiving a multimedia packet including a header including a type information field having type information recorded therein and a payload including a type of data indicated by the type information;
- and
- processing data included in the payload if it is recognized that null data is not included in the payload through the type information.
A multimedia device comprising:
- a receiver that receives a multimedia packet including a header including a type information field having type information recorded therein and a payload including a type of data indicated by the type information;
- and
- a controller that processes data included in the payload if it is recognized that null data is not included in the payload through the type information.
A method of transmitting a multimedia packet in a multimedia device, the method comprising:
- generating a multimedia packet using a header and a payload;
- and
- transmitting the generated multimedia packet,
- wherein the generating of the multimedia packet comprises:
- determining whether or not null data needs to be added to the payload;
- and
- if it is determined that the null data needs to be added to the payload, generating the multimedia packet using the payload including, in whole or in part, the null data and a header including a type field having type information recorded therein, which indicates that the payload includes, in whole or in part, the null data.
A multimedia device comprising:
- a controller that generates a multimedia packet using a header and a payload;
- and
- a transmitter that transmits the generated multimedia packet,
- wherein the controller, if it is determined that null data needs to be added to the payload, generates the multimedia packet using the payload including, in whole or in part, the null data and a header including a type field having type information recorded therein, which indicates that the payload includes, in whole or in part, the null data.
