Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes a predictor configured to predict a throughput of a network, to generate a first predicted value indicative of the predicted throughput, an acquirer configured to acquire, from a server apparatus connected to the network, a second predicted value indicative of a throughput of the network predicted by the server apparatus, a selector configured to select a predicted value with higher prediction accuracy from among the first predicted value and the second predicted value X2, and a requester configured to request a distribution apparatus to transmit a video with a quality based on the predicted value selected by the selector 125.
Claims10
An information processing apparatus that receives a video transmitted by a distribution apparatus via a network, the information processing apparatus comprising:
- a predictor configured to predict a throughput of the network, to generate a first predicted value indicative of the predicted throughput;
- an acquirer configured to acquire, from a server apparatus connected to the network, a second predicted value indicative of a throughput of the network predicted by the server apparatus;
- a selector configured to select a predicted value with higher prediction accuracy from among the first predicted value and the second predicted value;
- and
- a requester configured to request the distribution apparatus to transmit a video with a quality based on the selected predicted value.
A server apparatus connected to a network to which a distribution apparatus and a plurality of information processing apparatuses are connected, wherein the distribution apparatus is configured to transmit a video and each of the information processing apparatuses is configured to receive the video, the server apparatus comprising:
- a collector configured to collect a plurality of logs from one of the information processing apparatuses, each log including information on playback of the video;
- a predictor configured to predict a throughput of the network based on the plurality of logs, to generate a predicted value indicative of the predicted throughput;
- and
- a transmission controller configured to cause a communication apparatus to transmit the predicted value to the one of the information processing apparatuses.
An information processing system comprising:
- an information processing apparatus configured to receive a video transmitted by a distribution apparatus via a network;
- and
- a server apparatus connected to the information processing apparatus via the network,
- wherein the information processing apparatus includes:
- a first predictor configured to predict a throughput of the network, to generate a first predicted value indicative of the predicted throughput;
- an acquirer configured to acquire, from the server apparatus, a second predicted value indicative of a throughput of the network predicted by the server apparatus;
- a selector configured to select a predicted value with higher prediction accuracy from among the first predicted value and the second predicted value;
- and
- a requester configured to request the distribution apparatus to transmit a video with a quality based on the selected predicted value, and
- wherein the server apparatus includes:
- a collector configured to collect a plurality of logs from the information processing apparatus, each log including information on playback of the video;
- a second predictor configured to predict the second predicted value based on the plurality of logs;
- and
- a transmission controller configured to cause a communication apparatus to transmit the second predicted value to the information processing apparatus.
