    摘要: A group management device determines a priority level that represents priority order of allowing a participating terminal to preferentially participate in a group, to which the group management device belongs, based on information relating the participating terminal and information relating to terminals that are managed by the group management device only in a case where the group management device receives information relating to the participating terminal, which has transmitted a participation request to the group, to which the group management device belongs. Based on the determined priority level, the group management device determines whether to transmit the participation request to another group management device and whether to reply to the participating terminal.

    摘要: In a multicast distribution system in which terminal devices on a distribution path are hierarchically grouped, a first terminal device which has detected a loss of a receiving packet transmits to a second terminal device located upstream of the first terminal device a retransmission request for a packet retransmission to the first terminal device and a third terminal device which receives a packet first in a group located downstream of a group to which the first terminal device belongs. The second terminal device which has received the retransmission request transmits a retransmission packet to both the first and third terminal devices.

    摘要: As a result of performing a comparing and determining process of determining the relationship among the bandwidth of distributed data in real time in a local group, the incoming data bandwidth to the local group, and the outgoing data bandwidth from the local group, the increase/decrease management and the connection management of each terminal device in the local group are performed. The comparing and determining process compares, for example, a sum of the total sum of the terminal possessed transfer bandwidths and the incoming data bandwidth from other groups to the local group with a sum of the value obtained by multiplying the bandwidth of distributed data in the local group by the number of terminal devices in the local group, the outgoing data bandwidth from the local group, and a predetermined determination margin.

    摘要: A first feature value calculator calculates a feature value of an entire screen, and a second feature value calculator calculates a feature value of only an image area designated by designation data stored in a designation data storage. An interpolation determiner outputs a control signal indicative of interpolation-ON if the two feature values are matched or outputs a control signal indicative of interpolation-OFF if not. A center area interpolator uses a motion vector output from a motion estimator to generate an interpolated image within an image area. Side area interpolator performs process of interpolating a side area of the screen on interpolation-ON and stops the process of interpolating a side area of the screen on interpolation-OFF. Therefore, on interpolation-ON, an interpolated frame interpolating the entire screen is output. On interpolation-OFF, an interpolated frame interpolating only the designated image area is output.
