In transmitting stream data to a recording unit through a network, there is a method to detect that a synchronous recording has been designated from an input unit to transmit mute data to a recording unit through the network for a first predetermined time period during which the streaming data is held in a data holding unit for the first predetermined time value. In the case where it is determined that the data that the data holding unit holds is held for a second predetermined time value, the inputted stream data is transmitted to the recording unit through the network. The recording unit is permitted to record, in the state where sound is not interrupted, and it is permitted to execute data recording, in which operating time of mechanical parts is required so that the operating state of the recording unit shifts to the recording state, and/or responses relating to the control of the recording unit are taken into consideration.

Isochronous transmission of audio data using mute data

A communication apparatus including a network controller configured to control communication connection to a different apparatus; and a main controller configured to control state detection of the network controller and data communication with the different apparatus connected to the communication apparatus through the network controller, wherein the main controller controlling the network controller to execute the state detection at predetermined intervals and repetitively transmit a state notification request to the different apparatus at the predetermined intervals and detect a communication disabled state with the different apparatus in response to a response to the state notification request from the different apparatus.

Communication apparatus, communication state detection method and communication state detection program

A reproducing apparatus and method is provided. The reproducing apparatus includes a detection device, a list preparation device, and a reproduction device. The detection device is configured to detect acquisition of first page information. The list preparation device is configured to prepare a list of content identification information collected at least from the first page information and from second page information linked from the first page information when the detection device detects the acquisition of the first page information, the content identification information being such as to indicate where streaming content data is availably located. The reproduction device is configured to reproduce the streaming content data upon acquisition, the streaming content data corresponding to the content identification information in the list prepared by the list preparation device.

Reproducing apparatus, reproducing method, and reproducing program

A picture display system in which a plurality of applications each render a window W on a single display includes a picture server. The picture server calculates a re-rendering range O of a window W, based on the movement, enlargement or contraction of the window W, and outputs a re-rendering request to each application rendering the window W in the re-rendering range O. With the applications, each rendering the windows W only in the re-rendering range O, the load of the re-rendering processing becomes lighter.

Image display device, image display method and image display system

Reproduced time-continuous data is transmitted or discarded in units of a predetermined amount depending on a data processing status of another device connected via a network, whereby matching in temporal relationship with respect to data received by another device is realized.
