`ABSTRACT
`Streaming media , such as audio or video files , is sent via the
`Internet . The media are immediately played on a user ' s
`computer . Audio / video data is transmitted from the server
`under control of a transport mechanism . A server buffer is
`prefilled with a predetermined amount of the audio / video
`data . When the transport mechanism causes data to be sent
`to the user ' s computer , it is sent more rapidly than it is
`played out by the user system . The audio / video data in the
`user buffer accumulates ; and interruptions in playback as
`well as temporary modem delays are avoided .
