Abstract
A moving image (stream data) is transmitted/reproduced between a transmission side and a receiving side. At the receiving side, an image group configuring a moving image is compressed in accordance with a predetermined compression scheme, and the compressed image group is divided into a first image group and a second image group. Then, the second image group is stored in a removably mounted storage means, and the first image group is transmitted to the receiving side via a communication line in real time. On the other hand, at the receiving side, the first image group is received and displayed in real time via the communication line. Further, a storage means having the second image group stored therein is acquired via a distribution system, thereby reproducing an image group that configures a moving image from the received first image group and the second image group read out from the storage means.
