There is provided an information processing device that distributes live data to a first user (terminal device), the information processing device performing control related to interaction data from the first user on the basis of information of a delay between the first user that transmits the interaction data with respect to the live data and the information processing device, or a delay between a second user (terminal device) that receives the interaction data from the first user with respect to the live data and the first user.

Information processing device, information processing method, and information processing system

To keep safety of a network and to facilitate connection to the network. An information processing apparatus comprises a communication unit and a control unit. The communication unit is directed for receiving a connection authentication request from a new device other than a plurality of devices configuring a network in which the plurality of devices make wireless communication on a one-to-one basis to be mutually connected. Further, the control unit is directed for transferring the connection authentication request to the plurality of devices in a case of receiving the connection authentication request, and for performing control to permit the new device to connect to the network on the basis of the responses to the connection authentication request from the plurality of devices.

Information processing apparatus and information processing method

There is provided a radio communication device including a reception unit which receives information indicating a connection state or a communication capability of another radio communication device which the radio communication device attempts to connect to, and a selection unit which selects, depending on the information received by the reception unit, which communication is to be performed from among first communication in which a direct connection to such other radio communication device is established and direct communication with such other radio communication device is performed, second communication in which a connection to such other radio communication device via a base station is established and direct communication with such other radio communication device is performed, and third communication in which a connection to such other radio communication device via the base station is established and indirect communication with such other radio communication device via the base station is performed.

Radio communication device, radio communication system, radio communication method, and program

A system that acquires information from at least first and second electronic devices, the information indicating a quality of a wireless link between the at least first and second electronic devices; generates adjustment information indicating an adjustment of at least one of a position, orientation, antenna position or antenna direction of at least one of the first or second electronic devices to improve the quality of the wireless link between the first and second electronic devices; and controls outputting the adjustment information.

Wireless communication system and method for monitoring the quality of a wireless link and recommending a manual adjustment to improve the quality of the wireless link

An information processing apparatus in a mesh network, includes circuitry that, when the information processing apparatus is allocated as a root node for multicast transmission, transmits path request for multicast to other information processing apparatuses in the mesh network. The circuitry also determines a path for multicast based on responses received from the other information processing apparatuses, and performs multicast transmission of data via the determined path for multicast.

An information processing device that includes circuitry that stores first function information indicating at least a function of the information processing device; receives second function information indicating at least a function of another information processing device, and second positional information indicating a second positional of the another information processing device; determines a function to be performed from among the function of the information processing device and the function of the another information processing device, based on the first function information, the second function information, and the second positional information; performs the determined function in a case that the determined function is a function of the information processing device; and transmits a request to perform the determined function in a case that the determined function is a function of the another information processing device.

Information processing device and information processing method for relaying signal

Provided is a radio communication device which includes a communication unit that communicates with a connected radio communication device operating as a master unit, and a control unit that, when a prescribed inquiry packet sent from another radio communication device is received by the communication unit, controls the communication unit to send a response packet containing service information indicating a service with which the radio communication device is compatible to said another radio communication device.

Radio communication device, radio communication system, program, and radio communication method

Communication resources are appropriately used. An information processing device is an information processing device including an acquisition unit and a control unit. Here, the acquisition unit acquires a relative priority of each information processing device in a network built through autonomous wireless communication of a plurality of information processing devices. In addition, the control unit performs control such that a communication resource of the network is allocated based on the priority (a relative priority of each information processing device in the network) acquired by the acquisition unit.

Information processing device, information processing method and program

An information processing device that includes circuitry that: receives a signal from a first device; measures a signal strength of the signal received from the first device; determines whether the signal strength is less than a threshold; and in a case that the signal strength is determined to be less than the predetermined threshold, transmits to an second device an instruction signal such that, in response to the instruction signal, the second device moves to a position to relay the signal from the first device to the information processing device.

In order to perform an appropriate data transmission control, an information processing apparatus performs data transmission by using at least one of a wireless transmission channel of a high frequency band and a wireless transmission channel of a low frequency band, and performs real time image transmission with another information processing apparatus in accordance with a Wi-Fi certified miracast specification. Also, the information processing apparatus includes a control unit. This control unit executes a control to transmit a control signal relevant to Wi-Fi certified miracast to the other information processing apparatus by using the wireless transmission channel of the low frequency band.

Split miracast transmission over multiple frequency bands

The present disclosure relates to a terminal device, a communication method, a program, and a communication system, which can enable one-on-many wireless communication among terminal devices with less trouble for the user. A communication system according to the present disclosure is a communication system in which one parent device and a plurality of child devices perform one-on-many wireless communication. The parent device includes a management unit which manages group information representing a group made up of two or more child devices to which a child device belongs, and a child device connecting unit which establishes wireless connection with the child device which performs notification of the group information that matches the managed group information, and consecutively establishes wireless connections with a plurality of child devices. On the other hand, the child device includes a notifying unit which notifies the parent device of group information representing a group made up of two or more child devices, to which it itself belongs, and a parent device connecting unit which establishes wireless connection with the parent device in response to a predetermined trigger. The present disclosure can be applied to a system which distributes data by one-on-many wireless communication.
