Abstract
The invention intends to effect optimum output control according to the data transfer amount (bus band width) per unit time. For this purpose there is disclosed an information processing apparatus featured by identifying the data amount of synchronous transfer transmittable at every predetermined time, judging whether the image data of predetermined image quality can be transmitted within the identified data amount of synchronous transfer, setting the image quality of the image data to be transmitted in case the image data are judged not transmittable and generating the image data to be transmitted, with the set image quality.
Claims27
An information processing apparatus for transmitting image data by synchronous transfer, comprising:
- identification means for identifying the data amount of synchronous transfer transmittable at every predetermined time;
- judgment means for judging whether the image data of predetermined image quality can be transmitted within the data amount of synchronous transfer identified by said identification means;
- setting means for setting the image quality of the image data to be transmitted in case said judgment means judges that said image data cannot be transmitted;
- and
- generation means for generating the image data to be transmitted, with the image quality set by said setting means.
An information processing method for transmitting image data by synchronous transfer, comprising:
- an identification step of identifying the data amount of synchronous transfer transmittable at every predetermined time;
- a judgment step of judging whether the image data of predetermined image quality can be transmitted within the data amount of synchronous transfer identified by said identification step;
- a setting step of setting the image quality of the image data to be transmitted in case said judgment step judges that said image data cannot be transmitted;
- and
- a generation step of generating the image data to be transmitted, with the image quality set by said setting step.
A memory medium storing a computer readable program for transmitting image data by synchronous transfer, the program comprising:
- an identification step of identifying the data amount of synchronous transfer transmittable at every predetermined time;
- a judgment step of judging whether the image data of predetermined image quality can be transmitted within the data amount of synchronous transfer identified by said identification step;
- a setting step of setting the image quality of the image data to be transmitted in case said judgment step judges that said image data cannot be transmitted;
- and
- a generation step of generating the image data to be transmitted, with the image quality set by said setting step.
