Information processing apparatus and information generation method

An information generation method for causing a computer to execute:

• receiving a packet string in which packet groups including data on a plurality of video frames and having an identifier indicating a beginning of the video frame assigned to respective packets including each initial part of the plurality of video frames are arranged in a video reproduction order;
• counting a number of received packets corresponding to each of the plurality of video frames based on respective initial packets in the packet string;
• and
• generating video quality estimation information for each of the plurality of video frames to estimate a quality of the video in which the plurality of video frames are decoded on a reception terminal based on the number of received packets corresponding to each of the plurality of video frames.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including a program to cause an information generation method to execute operations on a computer, the program comprising:

• receiving a packet string in which packet groups including data on a plurality of video frames and having an identifier indicating a beginning of the video frame assigned to respective packets including each initial part of the plurality of video frames are arranged in a video reproduction order;
• counting a number of received packets corresponding to each of the plurality of video frames based on respective initial packets in the packet string;
• and
• generating video quality estimation information for each of the plurality of video frames to estimate a quality of the video in which the plurality of video frames are decoded on a reception terminal based on the number of received packets corresponding to each of the plurality of video frames.
