Abstract:
1. A processing terminal in a received data processing system comprising a receiving terminal and said processing terminal, the received data processing system being intended for receiving real-time process data at a predetermined timing and processing the real-time process data in real time, and for processing non-real-time process data in between the real-time processing, the real-time process data being data which needs to be processed in real time, and the non-real-time process data being data which does not need to be processed in real time, said processing terminal comprising: a communication unit operable to receive the real-time process data and the non-real-time process data from said receiving terminal, the non-real-time process data being received with time information that indicates a time period which can be spent for the processing of the non-real-time process data; a processing unit operable to divide the processing of the non-real-time process data into a plurality of process blocks; and a storing unit operable to store processing time information, the processing time information including a plurality of required processing times, each of the plurality of the required processing times indicating one time period required by the processing terminal to process each of the plurality of the divided process blocks, wherein said processing unit is operable to determine how many of the plurality of the required processing times fall within the time period indicated by the time information based on the processing time information, and to process a number of the divided process blocks within the time period which can be spent for processing of the non-real-time process data, the number of the divided process blocks being corresponded to a number of the plurality of the required processing times that are determined to fall within the time period indicated by the time information, wherein said communication unit is operable to send a result of the non-real-time processing performed within the time period back to said receiving terminal.
