Abstract

A data processing apparatus may include a data acquisition unit, a buffer unit that includes a plurality of division buffers, a valid data area determination unit that calculates an area of valid data, a buffer state management unit that manages whether or not the data is stored in the division buffer, a data write control unit that writes data of a unit of the storage capacity of the division buffer, which at least includes data indicated to be valid data by the valid data information within the data, to the division buffer in which no data is stored, the division buffer being selected based on the management information, and a data read control unit that reads data indicated to be valid data by the valid data information from the division buffer in which data is stored, the division buffer being selected based on the management information.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A data processing apparatus comprising:
a data acquisition unit that acquires data in each unit for acquiring data, the unit being predetermined;
a buffer unit that includes a plurality of division buffers, each of the plurality of division buffers having a predetermined storage capacity less than an amount to be acquired in one unit for acquiring data by the data acquisition unit, a total storage capacity of the plurality of division buffers being equal t…
