Abstract:
1. An apparatus for data processing including encoding and sending, comprising: an encoder encoding data using a selected one of a plurality of encoding parameter sets: a transmitter transmitting the encoded data to a receiver via a communication network; a condition-identifying device identifying an original data set for which the data processing is to be initiated at a start time t an assigned-time calculator calculating a length of an assigned time not exceeding a time limit (=t a processing-time calculator calculating an estimate of an individual processing time T an encoding-parameter selector selecting one of the plurality of encoding parameter sets to allow a total processing time to fall within a shortened time limit (=α·t wherein the total processing time, if the original data set is one data sub-set, is equal to the individual processing time for the one data sub-set, or if the original data set includes a sequence of two or more data sub-sets, is equal to a total of the individual processing times for the two or more data sub-sets.
