To provide an information processing device that is capable of enhancing reliability of detection processing of detecting a terminal. An information processing device includes: a first communication unit that transmits, by using a short-distance wireless communication function, a request to a terminal corresponding to identification information obtained beforehand; a determination unit that determines, on the basis of presence/absence of a response from the terminal corresponding to the identification information to the request, whether or not the terminal has been detected; and a second communication unit that transmits, to other devices, a detection result based on the determination of the determination unit.

Information processing device and information processing method

As shown in FIG.the recording medium (e.g., non-transitory computer-readable storage medium) may not only be the removable mediahaving recorded therein a program which includes a magnetic disk (including a floppy disk), an optical disc (including a CD-ROM (Compack Disk-Read Only Memory) and a DVD (Digital Versatile Disk)), a mageto-optical disc (including an MD (Mini-Disk), a semiconductor memory, etc., and is deliver to a user for providing the program independently of the main part of the apparatus, but also be the ROMor a hard disk contained in the storage sectionon which the program is recorded and which is assembled into the main apparatus beforehand so as to be provided for the user.

Transmission apparatus and method, recording medium, and program thereof

The present invention provides a system that can provide contents of reliable quality. The hold state is held until a holding time elapses. If a network congestion is detected within the holding time, the state is changed to a down state. When the holding time elapses, the state is changed to an up state. If it is found that there is no network congestion in the down state, the state is changed to the hold state. If it is found in the up state that the transmission rate reaches the maximum bit rate, the state is changed to the hold state. If any network congestion is detected in the up state, the state is changed to the down state.
