Abstract
Provided is a mobile information terminal that performs data transmission and reception, the data transmission and reception including video data reception. The mobile information terminal includes a communication management execution module that obtains a communication amount of data transmitted and received by the mobile information terminal in a predetermined period, and a remote viewing execution module that compares the obtained communication amount to a preset predetermined value and makes an image quality of the video data selectable according to a relationship between the obtained communication amount and the predetermined value.
Claims13
A mobile information terminal communication method, comprising:
- performing data transmission and reception, including video data reception of video data, to/from an outside of a mobile information terminal;
- obtaining, from the outside, a total data communication amount indicating a limit capable of high-speed communication by the mobile information terminal within a predetermined period;
- setting a predetermined value, which is determined based on the obtained total data communication amount and is less than the obtained total data communication amount, in accordance with a number of days elapsed from a start of the predetermined period;
- obtaining a cumulative data communication amount of data which has been transmitted and received by the communication processor from the start of the predetermined period to a viewing start point of the video data;
- determining an image quality for the video data in accordance with the cumulative data communication amount of data;
- transmitting a setting value corresponding to the image quality to an external device storing the video data;
- receiving the video data having the image quality from the external device;
- and
- displaying the video data having the image quality on the display.
