The present invention is directed to an improved media communication device for communicating over a communication network. The communication device includes an encoder, a time-shifting buffer and a transmitter to progressively encode, store in a time-based format, and transmit over the network locally created media created using the communication device. The communication device also includes a receiver and a rendering element to receive and progressively render media received over the network from a remote source. The received media is also stored in the time- based format in the time-shifting buffer. By storing media in the time-based format in the time-shifting buffer, the received media may be rendered in a near real-time mode and the received and locally created media may be rendered in a time-shifted mode. In various embodiments, the locally created and received media may be streaming media. In yet other embodiments, the media may be segmented into messages that are transmitted to and from the communication device over the network.

Dispositif de communication média amélioré permettant de communiquer au sein d'un réseau de communication. Ledit dispositif comprend un codeur, un tampon à décalage temporel et un émetteur pour le codage progressif, le stockage en format temporel et la transmission par le réseau de média créé localement par le dispositif de communication. De plus, ce dispositif comprend un récepteur et un élément de restitution pour la réception et la restitution progressive de média reçus d'une source éloignée par le réseau. Le média reçu est également stocké en format temporel dans le tampon à décalage temporel. Par suite de son stockage en format temporel dans le tampon à décalage temporel, le média reçu peut être restitué en quasi temps réel alors que les média reçu et créés localement peuvent être restitués en mode différé. Dans divers modes de réalisation, les média peuvent être des média à diffusion en flux. Dans d'autres modes de réalisation, les média peuvent être segmentés en messages transmis au dispositif de communication et depuis ce dernier par le réseau.
