Abstract

A method for selecting a tile amongst a set of tiles associated with a multimedia content divided into a plurality of tile segments requested by a terminal is described. The multimedia content that is divided into a plurality of tile segments, includes obtaining a next position of a viewport of the terminal at the expiration of a current tile segment based on an estimation of a trajectory of the viewport; identifying one or several tiles amongst the set of tiles comprising at least the viewport at the next position; determining at least one processing parameter depending on at least the center of the identified tile and the next position of the viewport; and selecting an identified tile for which the determined processing parameter meets a selection criterion.
