  • Publication number: 20130083680
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a server includes a transmitter, a storage, a determination unit and a controller. The transmitter is configured to transmit data using TCP streams. The storage is configured to store a number of TCP streams which the transmitter used in transmitting the data and a maximum value of a bandwidth which the transmitter used in transmitting the data using the number of TCP streams, in association with each other. The determination unit is configured to determine a number of TCP streams, which the transmitter uses in transmitting new data, based on the stored number, the stored maximum value, and a target value of the bandwidth. The controller is configured to update the stored maximum value when a bandwidth used for transmitting the new data using the determined number is larger than the maximum value associated with the stored number which is identical to the determined number.

  • Publication number: 20120246224
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a server device includes a receiver, an acquisition unit, a difference extracting unit, an estimation unit, a determination unit, a compression unit, and a transmitter. The receiver receives manipulation information from a client device. The acquisition unit acquires a display image on which the manipulation information is reflected. The difference extracting unit extracts a region where pixel information on an image transmitted to the client device is not matched with pixel information on the display image. The estimation unit estimates an elapsed time since the manipulation information is received until the display image is acquired. The determination unit determines image quality, for which a response time is a predetermined value or less, on the basis of the elapsed time. The compression unit generates a compression image in which the image in the region is compressed with the determined image quality. The transmitter transmits the compression image.
