MOVING-PICTURE IMAGE DATA-DISTRIBUTION METHOD

摘要

The present invention relates to a moving-picture image data-distribution method that suppresses increases in processing loads at respective information terminals without being affected by an uneven distribution status of processing loads that changes over time or by a bandwidth status of a connected network. During a distribution operation of moving-picture image data from transmission-side information terminals (120, 130) to a reception-side information terminal (110), when the reception-side information terminal (110) repetitively issues a transmission requirement for moving-picture image data at a predetermined time interval to the transmission-side information terminals (120, 130), the reception-side information terminal (110) calculates, in advance, at least any one data amount of an own receivable amount of image frames and an own permissible load amount as reception-limit information, and subsequently sequentially notifies the transmission-side information terminals (120, 130) of an upper limit of at least any one of the data amount and a data structural element that is used as a basis for calculation of the data amount.
