Abstract: An information processing apparatus and method for reducing an unnecessary waiting time in a depacketizing process and enabling processing to be easily performed at high speeds applicable to, for example, an encoding apparatus. An analysis unit compares input image data with image data of one previous picture read out from a storage unit. On the basis of the analysis result, a concealment header generation unit generates a concealment header that is referred to by a receiving apparatus at the time of an error concealment process. On the basis of the concealment header, a loss analysis unit performs error concealment for the occurrence of a transmission error by suitably using encoded data stored in a storage unit.

Abstract: In a communication system in which moving image data is transmitted/received between two terminal apparatuses connected to a best-effort network and bi-directional communication is realized in real time, each of the terminal apparatuses includes a reproduced picture quality judgment section that judges reproduced picture quality relating to the moving image data received from the terminal apparatus of an opposite party and notifies it as reproduced picture quality information to the opposite party, and a reproduced picture quality control section that controls picture quality of a transmitted image displayed for confirmation at a side of the apparatus itself to become the reproduced picture quality notified by the reproduced picture quality information.

Abstract: An information processor, which includes: an analyzer configured to analyze image data, obtain similarity between the image data, which is to be processed, and reference image data and determine whether or not the image data and the reference image data are similar to each other depending on whether or not the similarity reaches a predetermined threshold; an encoder configured to encode the image data; a discarding section configured to discard the image data if it is determined, as a result of the analysis by the analyzer, that the image data is similar to the reference image data; and a transmitter configured to transmit encoded data generated from the image data encoded by the encoder if it is determined, as a result of the analysis by the analyzer, that the image data is not similar to the reference image data.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an information processing device and method, and program, whereby unnecessary standby time can be reduced in depacketizing processing, and processing can be performed easily and at high speed. A common header creating unit 203 creates common headers which are headers added in common to each packet created, based on a precinct header 171 which the data acquisition unit 201 has acquired, from the precinct thereof. A fragment processing unit 208 divides encoded data which the data acquisition unit 201 acquires into every packet size, in the event that the data size of the precinct is greater than the packet size. A packetizing unit 209 packetizes the payload supplied from the fragment processing unit 208 using header information supplied from each unit, and appropriately sets the value of flag information such as SFF and M included in the common headers of each packet that has been generated. The present invention can be applied to an encoding device, for example.

Abstract: A probe transmitting section (216) in a packet receiving terminal (210) sends a probe packet to a second radio channel (320) at fixed intervals. A probe analyzing section (117) in a packet sending terminal (110) detects a burst loss on the basis of a state of reception of the probe packet. When a burst loss detection is detected, a predictive retransmission control section (118) predicts that a data packet transmitted during the period of the detected burst loss among data packets sent from a priority processing transmission buffer (115) to a first radio channel (310) is a data packet lost on a receiving side, reads the data packet from a retransmission buffer (114), and then sends the data packet to the priority processing transmission buffer (115). A real-time property can be ensured while a packet loss is overcome in a radio environment.
