Abstract
Provided are a multimedia data reproducing method and an apparatus for controlling a multimedia data reproducing speed based on a multimedia data packet receiving speed. The method including controlling a reproducing speed of the multimedia data based on a first time difference between times at which a plurality of packets including the multimedia data are respectively received and a second time difference between times to respectively reproduce the multimedia data corresponding to the plurality of packets; and reproducing the multimedia data at the controlled reproducing speed.
Claims17
A method of reproducing multimedia data, the method comprising:
- controlling a reproducing speed of the multimedia data based on a first time difference between times at which a plurality of packets including the multimedia data are respectively received and a second time difference between times to respectively reproduce the multimedia data corresponding to the plurality of packets;
- and
- reproducing the multimedia data at the controlled reproducing speed,
- wherein the controlling of the reproducing speed of the multimedia data comprises:
- starting reproduction of the multimedia data, comprising setting a first time to start reproduction of the multimedia data at a speed lower than a normal reproducing speed, and setting a second time to start reproduction of the multimedia data at the normal reproducing speed, the second time occurring after the first time;
- and
- changing the second time based on the first time difference and the second time difference calculated during a period between the first time and the second time.
An apparatus for reproducing multimedia data, the apparatus comprising:
- a monitoring unit comprising a processor which calculates a first time difference between times at which a plurality of packets including the multimedia data are respectively received and a second time difference between times to respectively reproduce the multimedia data corresponding to the plurality of packets;
- a speed control unit which controls a reproducing speed of the multimedia data based on the first time difference and the second time difference;
- and
- a reproducing unit which reproduces the multimedia data at the controlled reproducing speed, wherein
- when starting reproduction of the multimedia data, the speed control unit sets a first time to start reproduction of the multimedia data at a speed lower than a normal reproducing speed, and sets a second time to start reproduction of the multimedia data at the normal reproducing speed, the second time occurring after the first time, and
- the speed control unit changes the second time based on the first time difference and the second time difference calculated during a period between the first time and the second time.
