Abstract
A signal processing apparatus that upconverts a plurality of content data includes an operation unit configured to receive an operation instruction from a user, a generating unit configured to generate user's preference information based on an operation history corresponding to the operation instruction received by the operation unit, a processing unit configured to upconvert the plurality of content data, and a control unit configured to calculate a preference level of each content data to preferentially upconvert content data having a high preference level based on the preference information generated by the generating unit and content information about each content data.
Claims14
A signal processing apparatus that upconverts a plurality of content data, comprising:
- an operation unit configured to receive an operation instruction from a user;
- a generating unit configured to generate user's preference information based on an operation history corresponding to the operation instruction;
- a processing unit configured to upconvert the plurality of content data;
- and
- a control unit configured to calculate a preference level of each content data based on the user's preference information and content information about each content data and to preferentially upconvert content data having a high preference level;
- and
- a calculating unit configured to calculate an estimated processing time necessary to upconvert each of the plurality of content data, wherein the control unit preferentially upconverts content data having a shortest estimated processing time.
A signal processing apparatus that upconverts a plurality of content data, comprising:
- a calculating unit configured to calculate an estimated processing time necessary to upconvert each of the plurality of content data;
- a processing unit configured to upconvert the plurality of content data;
- and
- a control unit configured to preferentially upconvert content data having a shortest estimated processing time;
- and
- wherein the calculating unit calculates the estimated processing time necessary to upconvert each content data based on a type of each of the plurality of content data and reference processing time information as a reference of requisite time for upconversion processing for each type of the content data.
A method for upconverting a plurality of content data, the method comprising:
- receiving an operation instruction from a user;
- generating user's preference information based on an operation history corresponding to received operation instruction;
- upconverting the plurality of content data;
- calculating a preference level of each content data based on generated preference information and content information about each content data;
- and
- performing control to preferentially upconvert content data having a high preference level;
- and
- calculating an estimated processing time necessary to upconvert each of the plurality of content data;
- and
- performing control to preferentially upconvert content data having a shortest estimated processing time.
A method for upconverting a plurality of content data, the method comprising:
- calculating an estimated processing time necessary to upconvert each of the plurality of content data;
- upconverting the plurality of content data;
- and
- performing control to preferentially upconvert content data having a shortest estimated processing time;
- and
- wherein the estimated processing time necessary to upconvert each content data is calculated based on a type of each of the plurality of content data and reference processing time information as a reference of requisite time for upconversion processing for each type of the content data.
