Moving picture transmission apparatus, moving picture transmission system, moving picture transmission method, and program

A moving picture transmission method, comprising:

• in an electronic transmission apparatus:
• dividing data corresponding to one picture of a moving picture into a plurality of line blocks including a predetermined number of pixel lines;
• capturing each line block of the plurality of divided line blocks as a data block;
• setting a compression rate of the data block based on a capture time of the data block;
• compressing the data block at the set compression rate and transmitting the compressed data block to a reception apparatus through a transmission path;
• wherein a series of processes including the capture and the transmission of each data block of a plurality of data blocks are performed in parallel, while shifting only a time required for the capture, and
• wherein the compression rate a first data block of the plurality of data blocks corresponding to the one picture is set to be lower than the compression rate of a second block data of the plurality of data blocks, wherein the first data block is captured later than the second data block in an order of the capture.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon, a computer program having at least one code section, the at least one code section being executable by a computer for causing the computer to perform steps comprising:

• dividing data corresponding to one picture of a moving picture into a plurality of line blocks including a predetermined number of pixel lines;
• capturing each line block of the plurality of divided line blocks as a data block;
• setting a compression rate of the data block based on a capture time of the data block;
• compressing the data block at the set compression rate and transmitting the compressed data block to a reception apparatus through a transmission path;
• wherein a series of processes including the capture and the transmission of each data block of a plurality of data blocks are performed in parallel, while shifting only a time required for the capture, and
• wherein the compression rate a first data block of the plurality of data blocks corresponding to the one picture is set to be lower than the compression rate of a second block data of the plurality of data blocks, wherein the first data block is captured later than the second data block in an order of the capture.
