There is provided with a communication method including: attempting to receive a media packet from a network; storing a received media packet in a first buffering unit; receiving an FEC packet including redundant data to recover a lost media packet and information which specifies a plurality of media packets associated with the redundant data; storing a received FEC packet in a second buffering unit; selecting the FEC packet from the second buffering unit; dividing FEC operation processing to be carried out using the redundant data included in selected FEC packet and the media packets related to the redundant data into a plurality of processes and sequentially carrying out each process so that one process is carried out every time the receiving of a media packet is attempted; and inserting a media packet recovered through the FEC operation processing in the first buffering unit.

Communication apparatus, communication method and computer readable medium

According to an embodiment, a receiving apparatus includes a memory, a first generator, a second generator, a transmitter, a receiver. The memory stores service information including search criteria set in a memory device and a connection method for connecting with the memory device. The first generator generates a common search query that is a search query expressing search conditions used in searching contents and that includes at least a pair of a common search condition attribute and a common search condition attribute value. The second generator generates a search query according to the search criteria specified in the service information with the use of the generated common search query. The transmitter transmits the generated search query to the memory device based on the connection method specified in the service information. The receiver receives, from the memory device, the attribute information obtained as a result of executing the search query.

Content receiving apparatus with search query generator

There is provided with an FEC transmission processing apparatus including: a media packet acquiring unit configured to successively acquire media packets from a media packet generator; a media packet transmission unit configured to transmit the media packets acquired to a media packet reception processing apparatus; an FEC packet generation unit configured to generate a plurality of FEC packets for the media packet reception processing apparatus to recover a lost media packet by carrying out FEC calculation processing using media packets acquired within a predetermined FEC period from acquisition of a first acquired media packet after media packets subjected to the FEC calculation processing immediately before; and an FEC packet transmission unit configured to transmit the FEC packets to the media packet reception processing apparatus within the predetermined FEC period after a lapse of the predetermined FEC period from the acquisition of the first acquired media packet.

FEC transmission processing apparatus and method and program recording medium

A device of the invention includes a search inputting unit inputting a search object service and a search condition of content; a first search processing unit, when an accumulation method corresponding to an inputted search object service is a preliminary accumulation method, searching the metadata coincident with an inputted search condition in a first metadata storage; a second search processing unit, in case that the accumulation method corresponding to the inputted search object service is a search-based accumulation method, when the inputted search condition is registered in a second metadata storage in association with the inputted search object service, obtaining corresponding metadata from the second metadata storage, whereas when not registered, obtain and accumulate the metadata coincident with the inputted search condition in the second metadata storage in association with the inputted search condition; and a search-result displaying unit displaying the metadata acquired.
