Abstract
The present technology relates to a signal processing apparatus, a signal processing method, and a program capable of reducing the number of pins for transmitting and receiving data. The signal processing apparatus is provided with a signal transmission unit configured to perform classification for a signal to be transmitted and received between processing units that process an obtained signal, perform time division multiplexing for the signal classified into a group, and transmit the signal. The classification is performed depending on at least one feature of an update period, an update timing, and a tolerable transmission delay of the signal. Further, the signal belonging to the group is subjected to time division multiplexing in such a manner that the transmission is completed within the update period, the transmission is completed within a range of the tolerable delay, and the transmission is performed with a minimum number of pins. The present technology can be applied to a reception apparatus that receives and processes airwaves.
