摘要： An information processing apparatus according to the present invention includes a first obtaining unit, a determining unit, a changing unit, a compressing unit, and a transmission unit. The first obtaining unit obtains band information indicating a band of a network. The determining unit determines, based on a network band table and band information, a transmission image format, which is a quality of an image to be transmitted to the network, and determines, from a CPU electric power consumption table, an input image format with the minimum electric power consumption, out of input image formats, from which compression into an image of the transmission image format is possible. The changing unit changes a quality of an image captured by an external imaging device to an imaging image format.
