Media data processing system, method, and program

A media data processing method comprising:

• estimating range of processing load of media data recognition processing based on header information of media data;
• determining whether to allow or disallow execution of the media data recognition processing on the media data, or to estimate the processing load, based on the range of the processing load and information indicating available computing resources;
• estimating the processing load of the media data recognition processing based on content of the media data when it is determined to estimate the processing load;
• and
• determining whether to allow or disallow the execution of the media data recognition processing on the media data, based on the processing load and the information indicating available computing resources.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium in which a media data processing program is recorded, the media data processing program causing a computer to execute:

• a first load estimation process of estimating range of processing load of media data recognition processing based on header information of media data;
• a second load estimation process of estimating the processing load of the media data recognition processing based on content of the media data;
• and
• a determination process of determining whether to allow or disallow execution of the media data recognition processing on the media data, or to estimate the processing load, based on the range of the processing load estimated in the first load estimation process and information indicating available computing resources, and of determining whether to allow or disallow the execution of the media data recognition processing on the media data, based on the processing load estimated in the second load estimation process and the information indicating available computing resources,
• wherein the media data processing program causes the computer to execute:
• the second load estimation process when it is determined to estimate the processing load in the determination process.
