  • Patent number: 11418218
    Abstract: A decoding device that includes a decoding determination unit to determine a procedure of recovering and decoding missing packets in consideration of a packet missing pattern in data including a set of media packets and redundant packets generated by a two-dimensional XOR-based FEC encoding method. Further, a decoding unit executes the recovery of the missing packets according to the procedure determined by the decoding determination unit.

  • Publication number: 20220150135
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a display controller. The display controller controls a display of a flow by displaying, on a topology of a network, a symbol indicating data that flows in the network, the flow being the flowing of the data in the network. The display controller changes a display mode for the symbol for each type of the data.

  • Patent number: 10785515
    Abstract: [Object] To provide a communication control device configured to efficiently secure bands of an IP network in order to transmit data streams. [Solution] There is provided a communication control device including: a channel information acquisition unit configured to acquire, when AV streams are transmitted from a plurality of transmission apparatuses to one or more reception apparatuses on an IP network while being switched, all channel information from the transmission apparatuses to the reception apparatuses; a traffic calculation unit configured to calculate a maximum traffic generated in switching patterns of the transmission of the AV streams from the transmission apparatuses to the reception apparatuses, on the basis of the channel information acquired by the channel information acquisition unit; and a transmission band reservation unit configured to reserve a transmission band on the IP network, on the basis of the maximum traffic calculated by the traffic calculation unit.
