Abstract:
1. A method for transferring data by an AV playback system, the AV playback system comprising a transmitting terminal and a receiving terminal connected to the transmitting terminal via a network, the receiving terminal comprising a receiving buffer, a decoder buffer, a plurality of different decoders for decoding data of different formats transmitted from the transmitting terminal, a play-out buffer, and a display device for displaying the decoded data, the method comprising: (a) transmitting a first format data from the transmitting terminal to the receiving terminal via the network; (b) after step (a), stopping transmitting the first format data from the transmitting terminal to the receiving terminal; (c) after step (b), cleaning data in the receiving buffer, data in the decoder buffer, and data in the play-out buffer; (d) after step (c), transmitting another format data different from the first format data from the transmitting terminal to the receiving terminal via the network; and (e) generating an interrupt signal to stop the display device from playing audio and video data when the decoders receive data whose format is different from the format of the last receiving data.
