Processing terminal, receiving terminal and received data processing system

A receiving terminal in a received data processing system comprising said receiving terminal and a processing terminal, the received data processing system being intended for receiving real-time process data at a predetermined timing and processing the real-time process data in real time, and for processing non-real-time process data in between the real-time processing, the real-time process data being data which needs to be processed in real time, and the non-real-time process data being data which does not need to be processed in real time, said receiving terminal comprising:

• a receiving unit operable to receive real-time process data and non-real-time process data from an external apparatus;
• a non-real-time processing time calculation unit operable to calculate a time period which can be spent for processing of the non-real-time process data, based on an interval at which the real-time process data is received;
• a time information generation unit operable to generate time information that indicates the calculated time period;
• and
• a sending unit operable to send, to said processing terminal, the real-time process data, the non-real-time process data and the generated time information.
