Abstract: A multimodal service establishing method is provided which is capable of achieving flexible combinations of a plurality of service contents. At least one integrated server is installed between a plurality of terminal devices and service servers of a plurality of types. A session establishment processing unit and service linking processing unit are mounted in the integrated server. The session establishment processing unit establishes multimodal service session between terminals and service servers. After the establishment of multimodal service session, the service linking processing unit provides new service obtained by linking and integrating service to be provided by service servers, that is, multimodal service to terminal devices.

Abstract: A video code processing method includes (a), (b), (c) and (d). The (a) step includes providing a first original bit stream including a video code which is a digitized video signal. The (b) step includes generating a second original bit stream at a first timing by delaying the first original bit stream by a specific time interval. The (c) step includes generating a converted bit stream at a second timing. The first original bit stream is code-converted into the converted bit stream. The (d) step includes switching between the second original bit stream and the converted bit stream to output. The specific time interval is adjusted such that the first timing is substantially equal to the second timing.
