Information processing apparatus, and information processing method

An information processing method comprising:

• storing, in an image memory performed by an information processing apparatus, an image that is to be displayed on a terminal device that is connected via a network;
• drawing, performed by the information processing apparatus, a processing result from software into the image memory;
• detecting, performed by the information processing apparatus, an update area containing an update between frames in the image that is drawn in the image memory;
• splitting, performed by the information processing apparatus, when an available bandwidth related to communication with the terminal device is equal to or less than a predetermined value, the image in the detected update area;
• creating, performed by the information processing apparatus, when pieces of split data that are obtained by splitting the image in the update area are sent, wait insertion data by inserting a wait between each of the pieces of the split data;
• changing, performed by the information processing apparatus, the wait;
• acquiring, performed by the information processing apparatus, by sending the wait insertion data to the terminal device for each changed wait, the available bandwidth and a display update speed that indicates display intervals of the wait insertion data for each wait;
• and
• selecting, performed by the information processing apparatus, when the wait in which the available bandwidth is increased compared with a case in which one of the waits is not inserted and the display update speed is improved compared with a case in which the one of the waits is not inserted is present from among the waits, the wait.

A computer-readable recording medium having stored therein an information processing program causing an information processing apparatus to execute a process comprising:

• storing, in an image memory, an image that is to be displayed on a terminal device that is connected via a network;
• drawing a processing result from software into the image memory;
• detecting an update area containing an update between frames in the image that is drawn in the image memory;
• splitting, when an available bandwidth related to communication with the terminal device is equal to or less than a predetermined value, the image in the detected update area;
• creating, when pieces of split data that are obtained by splitting the image in the update area are sent, wait insertion data by inserting a wait between each of the pieces of the split data;
• changing the wait;
• acquiring, by sending the wait insertion data to the terminal device for each changed wait, the available bandwidth and a display update speed that indicates display intervals of the wait insertion data for each wait;
• and
• selecting, when the wait in which the available bandwidth is increased compared with a case in which one of the waits is not inserted and the display update speed is improved compared with a case in which the one of the waits is not inserted is present from among the waits, the wait.
