| 20120117148 | NETWORK TYPE CONTENT REPRODUCING SYSTEM - A client repeatedly transmits a firmware request including an obtaining start address and an obtaining data length. The obtaining start address indicates the first address of firmware data to be obtained from the server by the client. The obtaining data length indicates the length of the firmware data to be obtained from the server by the client with respect to each firmware request. The server receives the firmware request from the client repeatedly and returns the firmware data for the obtaining data length from the obtaining start address with respect to each firmware request. The client further obtains the firmware data returned from the server repeatedly and updates the firmware by using the firmware data obtained from the server. | 05-10-2012 |
| 20120098601 | AMPLIFYING CIRCUIT - When an output voltage from the amplifying circuit includes a positive DC voltage, an electric current continuously flows in a power source voltage, a load, and a reference voltage in this order. As a result, the reference voltage increases so as to be a first threshold voltage or more. The detecting section detects that the reference voltage is the first threshold voltage or more. When the output voltage from the amplifying circuit includes a negative DC voltage, an electric current continuously flows in the reference voltage, the load, a grounding potential in this order. As a result, the reference voltage reduces so as to be a second threshold voltage or less. The detecting section detects that the reference voltage is the second threshold voltage or less. | 04-26-2012 |
| 20120041999 | NETWORK TYPE CONTENT REPRODUCING SYSTEM - A network AV system comprises a controller, a client connectable to the controller via a network, and an AV equipment connectable to the client. The controller includes a first transmitting unit transmitting a command for controlling a controlled element of the AV equipment to the client. The client includes a first receiving unit receiving the command from the controller, and a second transmitting unit transmitting the command to the AV equipment. The AV equipment includes the controlled element, a second receiving unit receiving the command from the client, and a controlling unit controlling the controlled element according to the received command. | 02-16-2012 |

| 20100321588 | AV SYSTEM, POWER FEEDING APPARATUS AND POWER RECEIVING APPARATUS - An AV system in which a power feeding apparatus and a plurality of power receiving apparatuses are connected in a daisy chain with the power feeding apparatus in the lead, wherein the power feeding apparatus includes: a connection detecting line; an applying unit for applying a voltage to the connection detecting line; and a power supply unit for supplying a power to the power receiving apparatus or suspends the supply of the power according to a voltage level of the connection detecting line, the power receiving apparatuses include: a contents signal output unit for outputting a contents signal upon the supply of the power; a ground terminal having a ground potential; a conducting line connectable to the ground terminal in another power receiving apparatus adjacent on the rear; and a first switch unit for enabling the connection detecting line to be connected to any one of the ground terminal and the conducting line and holding a connected state even when the power is not supplied. | 12-23-2010 |
| 20090316047 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS - An image processing apparatus comprising: a plurality of input terminals to which a plurality of image transmitting apparatuses that transmit image data can be connected; a plurality of output terminals to which a plurality of image receiving apparatuses that receive image data can be connected; an image processing section that adjusts image data inputted from any of the plurality of input terminals, to a processing image quality adjustment value and outputs the adjusted image data from any of the plurality of output terminals; an input setting section that sets an input image quality adjustment value for each of the plurality of input terminals, according to a user operation; an output setting section that sets an output image quality adjustment value for each of the plurality of output terminals, according to a user operation; a selecting section that selects one of the input terminals to which image data is to be inputted and one of the output terminals from which the image data is to be outputted; and an image quality adjustment value calculating section that adds together an input image quality adjustment value set for the selected input terminal and an output image quality adjustment value set for the selected output terminal and thereby calculates a processing image quality adjustment value. | 12-24-2009 |
| 20080244649 | Image reproduction system and signal processor used for the same - An image reproduction system includes a TV set, an AV amplifier connected to the TV set, and a plurality of image output devices, such as a DVD player, a set-top box and a game console, connected to the AV amplifier. The ID information of these image output devices is displayed as a list on the screen of the TV set. The user can select any one of the image output devices from the list by using a remote control, for example. The fact of the selection is transmitted to the AV amplifier from the TV set. Upon this, the AV amplifier connects the selected image output device to the TV set, so that the image signals reproduced by the selected device are sent to the TV set. | 10-02-2008 |
