More Information
Summary:A relay apparatus on a network includes an analysis section that analyzes multimedia contents transmitted from a contents provider. The relay apparatus temporarily stores contents identifiers, component information of the contents, and element data pointed by pointers of the component information, and creates a transmission sequence for transmitting the element data. A transmission section transmits the contents identifier, the contents component information and the element data according to the transmission sequence to a service provider. When the relay apparatus receives a request from a terminal or from a service provider even before the service provider completes registration of the entire multimedia contents, the relay apparatus or the service provider can start rendering multimedia transmission services to the terminal.
