Abstract (en)
[origin: WO0110125A1] A system and method for delivering data to multiple end users (5-12) using distributed storage system connected through a data communications network. The end user equipment for audio or video playback or recording contains a storage unit, such as a magnetic disk. Each storage unit can store data, such as digital video content, i.e. movies, or digital audio content, i.e. songs. The storage unit can also be configured to store portions, or fragments, of digital video or audio content, where the storage location, playback, and recording of digital video or audio content of each storage unit is administered, managed and controlled by a central facility (1). The content for playback of a video or audio content, or portions thereof, may reside on one or more physically separate storage unit, or may also reside on a central storage unit (13).
