A method and apparatus for providing a trick play service in a hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) adaptive streaming (HAS) architecture for adaptively streaming media data according to fluctuation of a streaming environment are provided. The method at a server includes: generating a media presentation description (MPD) file including information about at least one piece of trick play data; transmitting the MPD file to a client; and transmitting the at least one piece of trick play data to the client in response to a request by the client based on the MPD file. The method at a client includes: receiving a media presentation description (MPD) file including information about at least one piece of trick play data; and receiving the at least one piece of trick play data from a server based on the MPD file.

Method and apparatus for providing trick play service

A method and apparatus for adaptively transmitting and receiving media data to a streaming environment by segmenting into segments a plurality of media data, which is generated by encoding content to have different qualities.

Method and apparatus for adaptive streaming using segmentation

A method and apparatus for performing streaming that is adaptive to a streaming environment, using information about a plurality of media data generated by encoding content to have different qualities.

Adaptive streaming method and apparatus

Provided are a method and apparatus for receiving and providing data. The method of receiving data includes: receiving first information including information about a first interval of a plurality of media data generated by encoding content in different qualities; acquiring renewal time information indicating a point of time for a first file to be renewed by using the first information; and receiving second information comprising information about a second interval of the plurality of media data based on the renewal time information.

Method and apparatus for providing and receiving data

A method and apparatus for reproducing media data are provided. The method includes: receiving a first file including information about a period of first content and information about a period of second content; receiving and reproducing media data of the first content based on the received first file; stopping reproducing of the media data of the first content and receiving and reproducing media data of the second content based on the first file; and receiving and reproducing the media data of the first content when the reproducing the media data of the second content is completed, wherein the information about the period of the second content includes location information about the second media data of the second content or location information of a second file including the location information about the second media data of the second content.

Streaming method and apparatus operating by inserting other content into main content

A method and apparatus for transmitting and receiving data are provided. In the method of receiving data, at least one of a plurality of media data generated by encoding content to have different qualities is received, the plurality of media data each including at least one segment; location information indicating a randomly accessible point of each of the at least one segment is obtained; and random accessing is provided on the received media data, based on the location information.

Method and apparatus for transmitting and receiving data

A method and apparatus are provided for performing adaptive streaming according to a streaming environment based on information about a plurality of elements for determining qualities of a plurality of media data with respect to the same content.

Method and apparatus for adaptive streaming based on plurality of elements for determining quality of content

A streaming method and apparatus, in which information regarding a plurality of chapters of content is inserted into a media presentation description that includes information regarding a plurality of media data generated by encoding the content so as to have different qualities, and then, streaming is performed based on the information.
