The method includes the steps of receiving the picture information encoded by a pre-set encoding method, generating the averaging information specifying which interpolation is to be performed on the received picture information, decoding the picture information by a decoding method corresponding to the encoding method, storing the decoded picture information in a memory, reading out the stored picture information for processing the decoded picture information with interpolation, and outputting the interpolated picture information as a picture for display. An apparatus for carrying out the information processing method is also disclosed.
