Abstract

[Object] To perform appropriate transmission band control.

[Solving Means] An information processing apparatus includes an acquisition section and a controller. Here, the acquisition section acquires user information generated by a user operation when information based on a stream communicated between another information processing apparatus via wireless communication is output from an output section. The controller performs band control of the stream communicated between another information processing apparatus via wireless communication based on the user information acquired by the acquisition section.

Claims

1. An information processing apparatus, comprising:

an acquisition section that acquires user information generated by a user operation when information based on a stream communicated between another information processing apparatus via wireless communication is output from an output section; and

a controller that performs band control of the stream based on the acquired user information.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising

the output section,

wherein the output section outputs information based on the stream transmitted from the another information processing apparatus, and

wherein the controller performs the band control of the stream transmitted from the another information processing apparatus based on the acquired user information.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2,

wherein each output section outputs information based on a stream transmitted from a plurality of another information processing apparatuses, and

wherein the controller performs the band control of the stream based on the acquired user information.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2,

wherein the controller transmits a control signal for performing the band control of the stream transmitted from the another information processing apparatus to the another information processing apparatus.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the output section is a display section that displays an image based on the stream, and

wherein the acquisition section acquires the user information generated by a user operation related to the image displayed on the display section.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 5,

wherein the controller performs control for changing a definition of the image based on the acquired user information.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 5,

wherein the controller performs control for changing a display area of the image on the display section based on the acquired user information.

8. The information processing apparatus according to claim 5,

wherein the controller performs control for changing a size of the image on the display section based on the acquired user information.

9. The information processing apparatus according to claim 5,

wherein the acquisition section acquires user information generated based on a focus point of a user in the image displayed on the display section.

10. The information processing apparatus according to claim 5,

wherein the acquisition section acquires the user information generated based on the user operation related to the image displayed on the display section.

11. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the another information processing apparatus further includes the output section,

wherein the output section outputs information based on the stream transmitted from the information processing apparatus, and

wherein the controller performs the band control of the stream to be transmitted to the another information processing apparatus based on the acquired user information.

12. An information processing method, comprising:

an acquisition step for acquiring user information generated by a user operation when information based on a stream communicated between another information processing apparatus via wireless communication is output from an output section; and

a control step for performing band control of the stream based on the acquired user information.

13. A program that causes a computer to execute:

an acquisition step for acquiring user information generated by a user operation when information based on a stream communicated between another information processing apparatus via wireless communication is output from an output section; and

a control step for performing band control of the stream based on the acquired user information.
