MOVING PICTURE SHOWING MANAGING APPARATUS, MOVING PICTURE SHOWING MANAGING METHOD, AND MOVING PICTURE SHOWING MANAGING PROGRAM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide novel moving picture showing managing techniques for promptly loading a plurality of contents to a plurality of moving picture showing managing apparatuses in optimal timings.;SOLUTION: A data transfer time of each of contents is predicted and on the basis of utilization period information of the contents in each moving picture showing apparatus, for each of the contents, until when and to which moving picture showing apparatus transfer data should be transferred is specified. A data transfer job is generated which describes the specified information and the predicted data transfer time. For all performance order combinations of the data transfer job, under a restriction condition for data transfer, an evaluation value of data transfer designated in the performance order is calculated and on the basis of the calculated evaluation value, the optimal performance order combination is specified. Thus, a schedule of content data transfer from a data storage apparatus to the moving picture showing apparatus is determined and on the basis of the schedule, data transfer of the contents is controlled.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
