Abstract:
1. A communication terminal comprising: a communicator configured to transmit and receive data to and from a server storing video contents; an accumulator configured to accumulate a plurality of partial streams extracted from different time positions within the video contents received through the communicator as asynchronous streams; a decoder configured to decode at least one of the asynchronous streams and synchronous streams that are not extracted as the asynchronous streams from the video contents, the synchronous streams being streaming-distributed from the server; and a controller configured to acquire streams having time position information after a reproduction time position of the at least one of the asynchronous streams and the synchronous streams decoded by the decoder while the at least one of the asynchronous streams and the synchronous streams are reproduced on a display, and control the display to display the acquired streams after the reproduction, wherein the plurality of asynchronous streams have a predetermined time length, respectively, wherein the controller is configured to request the server to transmit the synchronous stream when the reproduction time position of the asynchronous streams exceeds a predetermined time position; and wherein the communication terminal further comprises:
