1. A data transmission method for sequentially transmitting packets having transmission data from a transmitting end to a receiving end, said method comprising:
transmitting an uncompressed packet comprising uncompressed transmission data;
subsequently continuously transmitting compressed packets comprising compressed transmission data;
forming the compressed data to be comprised in the compressed packets using a first compression process, based on the uncompressed data of the uncompressed packet and data to be transmitted in the compressed packets; and
forming the compressed data to be comprised in the compressed packets using a second compression process different from said first compression process;
receiving a request from the receiving end according to a restoration error of restoring compressed data included in the compressed packets at the receiving end; and
switching between said first and said second compression processes depending on the request from the receiving end.
