Abstract
A communication terminal that receives contents information distributed from a source of distribution, comprises: means for converting a leading frame of said contents information to a non-predicted frame in response to an input request.
Claims14
A communication terminal that receives contents information distributed from a source of distribution, comprising:
- a receiving section that receives an input request and the contents information distributed from said source of distribution;
- a transcoder that decodes the contents information received from said receiving section, subsequently encodes the decoded contents information and outputs the resulting contents information;
- a decoding section that decodes the contents information from said transcoder;
- and
- an outputting section that outputs a signal decoded by said decoding section, wherein
- said transcoder that converts a leading frame of said contents information from said receiving section to a non-predicted frame in response to the input request,
- wherein frames other than the leading frame of said contents information are output in an unconverted state;
- said non-predicted frame or said frames output in the unconverted state are decoded and output in the decoded state;
- and
- said request is a request for connecting or switching the contents information, and
- in case of receipt of said input request, said receiving section provides said transcoder with information for decoding the contents information.

A distribution method in which the contents information distributed from a source of distribution is received and the contents information received is converted;
- said distribution method comprising the step of:
- converting a leading frame of said contents information to a non-predicted frame in response to an input request,
- wherein frames other than the leading frame of said contents information are output in an unconverted state;
- said non-predicted frame or said frames output in the unconverted state are decoded and output in the decoded state;
- and
- said request is a request for connecting or switching the contents information, wherein
- said distribution method further comprises:
- receiving the input request and the contents information distributed from said source of distribution;
- decoding the contents information that have been received, subsequently encoding the decoded contents information and out s outputting the resulting contents information;
- further decoding the contents information that have been decoded;
- and
- outputting a signal resulting from said further decoding, wherein
- in case of receipt of said input request, providing information for decoding the contents information that have been received, and
- converting the leading frame of said contents information that have been received to a non-predicted frame.
