An information processing system includes a first and a second information processing apparatus including a memory and one or more processors. In the first information processing apparatus, the processor is configured to acquire information on utilization of a resource utilized in the operation and cause the memory to store information, and with a condition satisfied with the information on the utilization of the resource, output to second information processing apparatus the information on the utilization of the resource from memory. In the second information processing apparatus, the processor is configured to cause the memory to store information on the utilization of the resource output from first information processing apparatus and select a solution responsive to the information on the utilization of the resource stored on the memory via artificial intelligence that has learned through machine learning to select the solution responsive to the information on the utilization of the resource.

Information processing system, information processing apparatus, and non-transitory computer readable medium

An apparatus includes a generating unit and a transmitting unit. The generating unit generates synchronization format information regarding a vertical synchronizing frequency and a horizontal synchronizing frequency of a first video synchronizing signal, and generates phase difference information indicating a phase difference between the first video synchronizing signal and a first reference signal synchronized with a grand master clock. The transmitting unit transmits the synchronization format information and the phase difference information to an external apparatus that can generates a second video synchronizing signal synchronized with the first video synchronizing signal.

Display apparatus and control method thereof

A video audio system includes an audio processing apparatus capable of processing audio signals input from a plurality of input sources and a video processing apparatus capable of displaying a video image based on a video signal input from a selected input source. The video processing apparatus executes image processing based on the selected input source type notified by the audio processing apparatus, and transmits delay time information required for the image processing. The audio processing apparatus delays an audio signal based on the delay time information transmitted from the video processing apparatus.

Signal processing apparatus and method thereof

A broadcast receiving apparatus includes a determination unit that determines whether an external apparatus is capable of transmitting broadcast program information about a plurality of channels via a communication unit. When the determination unit determines that the external apparatus is capable of transmitting the broadcast program information, an acquisition unit does not acquire the broadcast program information from the digital broadcast signal. The external apparatus is requested to transmit the broadcast program information. The broadcast program information is acquired from the external apparatus.
