Abstract
An information delivery apparatus includes an encoding information collection unit which collects information used to encode content information, a generation unit which predicts decode processes of the content information based on the collected information, and generates configuration information used to configure data paths required to execute the decode processes, an embedding unit which embeds the configuration information in the content information, and a delivery unit which delivers the content information embedded with the configuration information.
Claims20
An information delivery apparatus which can deliver content information to a receiving apparatus, said information delivery apparatus comprising:
- a generation unit constructed to generate configuration information required to configure a plurality of data paths which indicate sequences of a plurality of processes to be executed in order that a reconfigurable processor reproduces the content information in accordance with the generated configuration information, and generate frequencies with regard to respective ones of the plurality of data paths to be used in order to reproduce the content information, wherein the reconfigurable processor is included in the receiving apparatus for decoding the content information;
- and
- a delivery unit constructed to deliver the content information together with the configuration information and level information for selecting the plurality of data paths in accordance with the frequencies to the receiving apparatus.
An information processing method in an information processing system having an information delivery apparatus and a receiving apparatus, wherein the information delivery apparatus can deliver content information to the receiving apparatus, said method performed in the information delivery apparatus comprising:
- a generation step of generating configuration information required to configure a plurality of data paths which indicate sequences of a plurality of processes to be executed in order that a reconfigurable processor reproduces the content information in accordance with the generated configuration information, and generating frequencies with regard to respective ones of the plurality of data paths to be used in order to reproduce the content information, wherein the reconfigurable processor is included in the receiving apparatus for decoding the content information;
- and
- a delivery step of delivering the content information together with the configuration information and level information for selecting the plurality of data paths in accordance with the frequencies, to the receiving apparatus.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer executable code of a program for making an information delivery apparatus, in an information processing system having the information delivery apparatus and a receiving apparatus, execute the following steps:
- a generation step of generating configuration information required to configure a plurality of data paths which indicate sequences of a plurality of processes to be executed in order that a reconfigurable processor reproduces content information in accordance with the generated configuration information, and generating frequencies with regard to respective ones of the plurality of data paths to be used in order to reproduce the content information, wherein the reconfigurable processor is included in the receiving apparatus for decoding the content information;
- and
- a delivery step of delivering the content information together with the configuration information and level information for selecting the plurality of data paths in accordance with the frequencies, to the receiving apparatus.
