Information processing apparatus and information processing method

An information processing method, executed via at least one processor, the method comprising:

• requesting partial images related to an image obtained by dividing an entire celestial sphere image or a panoramic image into a plurality of partial images including the partial images;
• receiving an encoded stream such that a first requested partial image of the plurality of partial images constituting a first end portion and a second requested partial image of the plurality of partial images opposite to the first requested partial image comprise one continuous image among the plurality of partial images;
• and
• decoding information of a position of the one continuous image with respect to the entire celestial sphere image or the panoramic image when at least one of the first requested partial image and the second requested partial image is out of the range of the entire celestial sphere image or the panoramic image.

An information processing apparatus comprising:

• circuitry configured to
• request partial images related to an image obtained by dividing an entire celestial sphere image or a panoramic image into a plurality of partial images including the requested partial images,
• receive an encoded stream such that a first requested partial image of the plurality of partial images constituting a first end portion and a second requested partial image of the plurality of partial images opposite to the first requested partial image comprise one continuous image among the plurality of partial images, and
• output one or more of the requested partial images of the image obtained by decoding the encoded stream on a screen, on the basis of a position of the one continuous image with respect to the entire celestial sphere image or the panoramic image.

• and
• outputting one or more of the requested partial images of the image obtained by decoding the encoded stream on a screen, on the basis of a position protruding out of the screen which is set as a position of the one continuous image with respect to the entire celestial sphere image or the panoramic image.

An information processing apparatus comprising:

• circuitry configured to
• request partial images related to an image obtained by dividing an entire celestial sphere image or a panoramic image into a plurality of partial images including the requested partial images,
• generate an encoded stream such that a first requested partial image of the plurality of partial images constituting a first end portion and a second requested partial image of the plurality of partial images opposite to the first requested partial image comprise one continuous image among the plurality of partial images, and
• decode information of positions on a screen of respective partial images of the plurality of partial images, including information of a position of the one continuous image with respect to the entire celestial sphere image or the panoramic image.
