| 20080267272 | Apparatus and Method for Monitoring Data Transmitter - For monitoring a data transmitter such as a streaming server, which supplies transmitted data in response to a request of a receiver, an examiner examines a data traffic at the input of a receiver or at the output of the receiver, the examiner being configured to ascertain whether the data traffic falls below a minimum threshold. If the minimum threshold is fallen below, a connection activator initiates a new connection between the receiver and the data transmitter. This serves to enable consistent data-transmitter monitoring, even for non-reliable point-to-point connections via the internet. | 10-30-2008 |
