Image decoder and image decoding method and program

In an image decoder, anticipated battery energy to be consumed is obtained from consumed battery energy when motion picture data is played for a predetermined time. In case the anticipated battery energy to be consumed is more than a current remaining battery energy, a playing quality is deteriorated to play the motion picture data to the last. Further, the playing quality of the motion picture data is dynamically controlled on the basis of the number of frames that can be displayed during a unit time. Thus, in case there is enough power for processing in a CPU, the playing quality of the motion picture data is improved. In case there is not enough power for processing in the CPU, the playing quality of the motion picture data is deteriorated to complete a decoding process within the unit time. Thus, the playing quality of the motion picture data is dynamically controlled in accordance with the CPU frequency or the remaining battery time.

Information processor, information processing method, program, and image display device

An information processing apparatus comprising an image selecting portion configured to select an image to be displayed having a resolution determined based on a change speed of a display area, such as a movement, enlargement, reduction, a rotation or a change of focus position of the display area. Preferably when the display area stands still or is moved at low speed the high resolution image is displayed, and the low resolution is displayed when the change speed of the display area is fast. The apparatus relates particularly to an image observed with a microscope, and allows an image to be displayed without delay thereby facilitating diagnosis.

Image decoder and image decoding method and program

In an image decoder, anticipated battery energy to be consumed is obtained from consumed battery energy when motion picture data is played for a predetermined time. In case the anticipated battery energy to be consumed is more than a current remaining battery energy, a playing quality is deteriorated to play the motion picture data to the last. Further, the playing quality of the motion picture data is dynamically controlled on the basis of the number of frames that can be displayed during a unit time. Thus, in case there is enough power for processing in a CPU, the playing quality of the motion picture data is improved. In case there is not enough power for processing in the CPU, the playing quality of the motion picture data is deteriorated to complete a decoding process within the unit time. Thus, the playing quality of the motion picture data is dynamically controlled in accordance with the CPU frequency or the remaining battery time.

Image decoding

In an image decoder, anticipated battery energy to be consumed is obtained from consumed battery energy when motion picture data is placed for a predetermined time. In case the anticipated battery energy to be consumed is more than a current remaining battery energy, a playing quality is deteriorated to play the motion picture data to the last. Further, the playing quality of the motion picture data is dynamically controlled on the basis of the number of frames that can be displayed during a unit time.
