Reception apparatus, reception method, and program with encoding bit rate determination

摘要

A reception apparatus includes: a data reception unit receiving compressed/encoded data from external apparatuses; a decoding unit decoding the compressed/encoded data to obtain received data; a data processing unit performing data processing so that information based on the received data obtained from the decoding unit is displayed on corresponding display windows, respectively; a window size setting unit setting sizes of the display windows respectively corresponding to the external apparatuses; an encoding bit rate determination unit determining an encoding bit rate of each external apparatus corresponding to the size of the display window based on a correspondence relation between the size of the display window and the encoding bit rate; an information transmission unit transmitting information regarding each of the encoding bit rates to each of the corresponding external apparatuses; and a size/bit rate correspondence relation setting unit setting the correspondence relation for each of the external apparatuses.

1. A reception apparatus comprising:
circuitry configured to
receive compressed/encoded data from a predetermined number of external apparatuses connected via a network,decode the received compressed/encoded data to obtain received data,perform data processing so that information based on the received data, which have been transmitted from the predetermined number of external apparatuses, is displayed on corresponding display windows on a screen, respectively,set sizes of the display windows respectively corresponding to the predetermined number of external apparatuses,set a bit rate value priority option to at least one of the predetermined number of external apparatuses,determine an encoding bit rate of each external apparatus corresponding to the set size of the display window based on a correspondence relation between the set size of the display window and the encoding bit rate and based on whether the bit rate value priority option is set for the at least one of the predetermined number of external apparatuses,transmit information regarding each of the determined encoding bit rates to each of the corresponding external apparatuses, andset the correspondence relation between the set size of the display window and the encoding bit rate for each of the predetermined number of external apparatuses.
