    Abstract: Methods and systems for cooperative or coached gameplay in virtual environments are disclosed. Memory may store a content control profile regarding a set of control input associated with an action in a virtual environment of a digital content title. A request may be received from a set of one or more users associated with different source devices regarding cooperative gameplay of the digital content title. At least one virtual avatar may be generated for an interactive session of the digital content title in response to the request. A plurality of control inputs may be received from the plurality of different source devices and combined into a combination set of control inputs. Generating the combination set of control input may be based on the content control profile. Virtual actions associated with the virtual avatar may be controlled within the virtual environment in accordance with the combination set of control inputs.

    Abstract: Provided are a transmission apparatus, a transmission method, and a program that achieve transmission of image data having an appropriate referent with a small network load. An acquisition unit (26) sequentially acquires frame images drawn in a frame buffer. An encoding processing unit (28) sequentially encodes encoding units each corresponding to part or whole of one of the frame images and generates image data. A data transmitting unit (30) sequentially transmits the image data. A transmission failure probability estimating unit (38) estimates, after the transmission of the image data, a transmission failure probability that is a probability of failure of the transmission of the image data. A referent determining unit (42) determines, in reference to the transmission failure probability of the image data, one or a plurality of referents that serve as a referent of a given encoding unit from the encoding units related to the image data transmitted. The encoding processing unit (28) encodes the given encoding unit by referring to the one or the plurality of referents, thereby generating the image data.
