Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9952238A2] A data streaming client (20) providing gap coverage with data st reaming protocols includes a processor (22) and a memory (24) for storing requested data requested by the data streaming client and a memory (28) for storing gap data. The processor is preferably programmed to receive streaming data (76) including requested data (12) and appropriate gap data (14) from a server (16). The processor should also be able to distinguish the requested data from the appropriate gap data (78) and to store the requested data to a first buffer (24) and store the appropriate gap data to a second buffer (28).
