Abstract:
1. A server device that is connected to a client device through a network, the client device displaying an image, the server device comprising: a receiver that receives manipulation information indicating a manipulation input to the client device from the client device; an acquisition unit that acquires a display image on which the manipulation information is reflected; a difference extracting unit that extracts a region where pixel information on a transmission image is not matched with pixel information on the display image, the transmission image being an image transmitted to the client device; an estimation unit that estimates an elapsed time since the manipulation information is received until the display image is acquired; a determination unit that determines image quality, for which a response time since the manipulation information is received until a response to the manipulation information is transmitted to the client device is a predetermined value or less, on the basis of the elapsed time; a compression unit that generates a compression image in which the image in the region is compressed with the determined image quality; a transmitter that transmits the compression image to the client device; and a history storage unit in which a history of the processing time is stored, wherein the estimation unit estimates the elapsed time on the basis of a processing time since the acquisition unit starts the acquisition of the display image reflecting the manipulation information received in past until the transmitter completes the transmission of the compression image corresponding to the display image to the client device, and the estimation unit estimates the elapsed time on the basis of the processing time stored in the history storage unit.
