Multimedia Information Service Center

With the progress of the IT industry, broadband networks have become available. The provision of broadband application services becomes an urgent task for network experts. Currently no solution that synthesizes a Web database and real-time multimedia transmission to construct a large multimedia information system has ever been found. We present our design of a new system named the Multimedia Information Service Center (MISC) that the synthesizes technology of real-time streaming over IP network and a Web database. The MISC provides single and simple access to a large multimedia information database system. The OAM of the MISC and access to multimedia information is realized through a simple operation using a user-friendly Web interface. The MISC can be applied in providing VOD, network radio, network TV, on-line education and other multimedia information services over the IP network
