  • Patent number: 10078383
    Abstract: An apparatus causes a server to execute an application program, and stores, in time series, position-information, obtained by an operation to an input device of the apparatus, on a figure representing a target of the operation on a screen shared between the server and the apparatus. Upon determining that the figure is moved by the operation in the same direction at a speed exceeding a threshold, the apparatus calculates, based on the position-information, first position-information indicating a position at which the figure is expected to be after a lapse of a first time from a current-time where the first time includes a time taken for communication between the apparatus and the server, and transmits the first position-information to the server. Upon receiving, from the server, information of an image on the screen which is obtained by executing the application program based on the first position-information, the apparatus displays the image.

  • Patent number: 9471093
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a transmitting unit that transmits data to terminal devices, and further includes a storage unit, an obtaining unit, a calculating unit, and a controlling unit. The storage unit stores time differences between times clocked by the terminal devices and a time clocked by the apparatus. The obtaining unit obtains information indicating a time the terminal devices have received the data. The calculating unit calculates delay amounts of paths to the terminal devices, by using a difference between a time the transmitting unit transmitted the data and the time indicated by the obtained information, and the stored time differences. The controlling unit identifies a delay amount difference in the calculated delay amounts, and controls a data amount transmitted/received to/from the terminal devices in accordance with the identified delay amount difference.
