IMAGE PROCESSOR AND IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To more smoothly output a frame image by allowing a server side to predict reception delay of the frame image in a client while streaming the frame image generated in real time.SOLUTION: An image processor is provided, including: a renderer for generating a frame image in real time; an encoder for encoding the frame image to generate encoded data; a transmission section for transmitting the encoded data to a client device for decoding the encoded data to output the frame image through a network; and a control section for predicting a delay increase generated while receiving the encoded data in the client device, and controlling a generation interval of the frame image by the renderer on the basis of the prediction.
