Provided is a display information generation apparatus that displays information in a manner so that it becomes possible to immediately and intuitively recognize the information, which is for guiding a mobile body. A navigation apparatus provided with a display that moves together with a vehicle is provided with a display data generation unit that acquires position information indicating the position of the vehicle, acquires, on the basis of the acquired position information, distance information indicating the distance from the position of the vehicle of facilities positioned along the road along which the vehicle is moving, and, on the basis of the acquired position information and distance information, displays an icon indicating the facilities at both sides of the road at the display arranged in order of the order of appearance accompanying the motion of the vehicle.

Display information generating apparatus, display information generating method, a program for display information generating, and information recording medium

When the content data recorded in the server deviceis reproduced in the client devicethrough communication, the contents transmitting system shorten the time to reproduction of content data in reply to a reproduction request from the client device. In order to shorten the time up to the reproduction, in the server device, a start portion of the content data for an arbitrary time is prepared, which is encoded at a different rate from the encode rate of the content data as for the transmission bandwidth at the previous reproduction of the content data, and it is transmitted to the client deviceand reproduced at the reproduction starting time. At the time of transmitting the content data, the server devicetransmits the initial portion of the content data while encoding it for an arbitrary time at real time at a different encode rate as mentioned above, and client devicereproduces it.
