Abstract
AbstractDue to the increasing popularity of the Internet, the WWW (World Wide Web) has become the most popular way to distribute multimedia contents. In the WWW, impressive information can be provided by embedding a large number of inline objects such as images in a WWW page. Since these inline objects are generally presented in WWW browsers in transmission order, the transmission order of inline objects becomes very important, especially for users accessing the Internet with a low‐speed connection such as a dial‐up line. In this paper, we propose a page transmission mechanism, which allows content authors to specify the transmission order of inline objects in WWW pages. First, we define a language to specify the transmission order of inline objects based on XML (Extensible Markup Language). We then discuss how we can implement the transmission order control, and propose a new protocol, HTSP (Hypertext Streaming Protocol), which realizes efficient transmission of ordered inline objects. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
