Patent number: 6618396Abstract: A data transmitting device connected to a prescribed network includes a coding device for receiving plural kinds of coded data, and coupling these coded data in first data units to generate a first coded stream. A divider divides the first coded stream into second data units of a prescribed data size to generate divided pack data corresponding to divided packs as the second units. A packet generating device adds header information to respective divided pack data to generate packet data corresponding to packets as data transmission units; and a transmitter outputs the respective packet data toward the network as a second coded stream which has a data structure different from that of the first coded stream.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 1998Date of Patent: September 9, 2003Inventors: Satoshi Kondo, Akiyoshi Maeda, Hiroyuki Uenaka, Hiromu Kitaura, Hidetoshi Takeda, Yoshitaka Mitui

Patent number: 6556546Abstract: In transmission and reception of signals in which audio data and management information used in playback are mingled, such as the data recorded in DVD or other recording media, this is to present means for separating the information into video and audio data and management information used in playback, so that the reception side can make use of various playback functions, such as a playback of original picture and sound information, a change of playback procedure, and a selection of playback information. At the transmission side, the data packet transforming means generates a first packet stream from transmission data. Consequently, the transmission packet generating means inserts packets generated from the playback management information by playback management information packet transforming means into the first packet stream at a specified rate, and generates a second packet stream. This is transmitted by using communication media as designated in IEEE1394 or the like.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 1998Date of Patent: April 29, 2003Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Akiyoshi Maeda, Hiroyuki Uenaka, Hidetoshi Takeda, Satoshi Kondo, Hiromu Kitaura, Yoshitaka Mitsui
