According to one embodiment, an image relay apparatus includes a reception unit, a determination unit and a transmission unit. The reception unit receives compressed image data from a relay source apparatus. The determination unit determines whether or not the compressed image data is processable through a first path not involving decompression of the compressed image data, based on data on a relay destination apparatus. The transmission unit transfers, to the relay destination apparatus, either the compressed image data processed through the first path or recompressed image data obtained by processing the compressed image data through a second path involving decompression, drawing, and recompression of the compressed image data.

According to one embodiment, a server device includes a receiver, an acquisition unit, a difference extracting unit, an estimation unit, a determination unit, a compression unit, and a transmitter. The receiver receives manipulation information from a client device. The acquisition unit acquires a display image on which the manipulation information is reflected. The difference extracting unit extracts a region where pixel information on an image transmitted to the client device is not matched with pixel information on the display image. The estimation unit estimates an elapsed time since the manipulation information is received until the display image is acquired. The determination unit determines image quality, for which a response time is a predetermined value or less, on the basis of the elapsed time. The compression unit generates a compression image in which the image in the region is compressed with the determined image quality. The transmitter transmits the compression image.
