Abstract
The present technique relates to an information processing apparatus and a method, and a program, capable of reducing a delay time. An information processing apparatus according to the present technique is an information processing apparatus including an estimation unit configured to estimate, on the basis of a transmission buffer waiting time which is a time it takes to accumulate encoded data obtained by encoding image data when encoding the image data which are to be transmitted, a reception buffer waiting time which is a time it takes to accumulate the encoded data before the encoded data are decoded at a transmission destination of the encoded data, and a setting unit configured to set a block length which is a processing unit of error correction processing in such a manner that an error correction reception delay time which is a delay time in the error correction processing performed at the transmission destination of the encoded data does not become more than the reception buffer waiting time estimated by the estimation unit. The present technique can be applied to, for example, an information processing apparatus.
