COMMUNICATION DEVICE AND DATA PROCESSING METHOD
First Claim
1. A communication device comprising:
- a packet reception state monitoring unit configured to monitor reception intervals of packets received by a communication unit, and generate and output a target value as a parameter for a reproduction control process based on a variation in the packet reception intervals; and
a reproduction control unit configured to perform reproduction control in accordance with the target value generated by the packet reception state monitoring unit,wherein the reproduction control unit controls an audio reproduction speed or image frame reproduction in accordance with the target value.

Abstract
A packet reception state monitoring unit calculates a target stored data number as a target number of audio packets stored in a memory based on the variation in the reception intervals of audio packets, and a reproduction control unit controls the audio reproduction speed in accordance with the difference between the target stored data number and a memory-stored data number. When the memory-stored data number is smaller than the target stored data number, reproduction control is performed in a low-speed reproduction mode at a lower speed than a regular reproduction speed. When the memory-stored data number is larger than the target stored data number, reproduction control is performed in a high-speed reproduction mode at a higher speed than the regular reproduction speed. A reproduction speed changing process is performed, with hysteresis being given to transitions of the difference between the memory-stored data number and the target stored data number.
