Abstract

A technology by which content image data is streaming-distributed in various distribution modes is disclosed an information processing apparatus includes: an execution unit configured to generate image data of a content in response to operation information; an acceptance unit configured to accept a designation of a distribution form of the image data; and a transmission processing unit configured to transmit the image data to a distribution destination. When the acceptance unit accepts a designation of a first distribution form and a designation of a second distribution form, the transmission processing unit transmits first image data and second image data to respective corresponding distribution destinations.

Claims (22)

1. An information processing apparatus, comprising:

an execution unit configured to generate image data of a content in response to operation information;

an acceptance unit configured to accept a designation of a distribution form of the image data;

a transmission processing unit configured to transmit the image data to a plurality of terminal apparatuses; and

an encoder configured to encode an entirety of the generated image data before transmission at a same distribution frame rate to each of the plurality of terminal apparatuses,

wherein the same distribution frame rate is determined by dividing a maximum frame rate of the encoder by a total number of the plurality of terminal apparatuses,

wherein the maximum frame rate is a fixed value.

2. An image data distribution method, comprising:

generating image data of a content;

encoding the image data using an encoder,

wherein an entirety of the image data is encoded at a same distribution frame rate;

accepting a designation of a distribution form of image data; and

transmitting the image data to a plurality of terminal apparatuses,

wherein the same distribution frame rate is determined by dividing a maximum frame rate of the encoder by a total number of the plurality of terminal apparatuses,

wherein the maximum frame rate is a fixed value.

3. A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon a program for a computer, the program comprising:

generating image data of a content;

encoding an entirety of the image data using an encoder at a same distribution frame rate;

accepting a designation of a distribution form of image data; and

transmitting the image data to a plurality of terminal apparatuses, wherein,

wherein the same distribution frame rate is determined by dividing a maximum frame rate of the encoder by a total number of the plurality of terminal apparatuses,

wherein the maximum frame rate is a fixed value.
