Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100283917REMOTE CONTROL APPARATUS, ELECTRIC APPARATUS AND COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A communication system is provided which implements more comfortable user operation where an electric apparatus which is remotely controlled by a remote controller (remote control apparatus) carries out processing operation in which an information recording medium is used. Remote controller data, remote controller controlling commands and reader/writer commands are placed into and transmitted by command data cmdDATA in packets of the same format. Further, reader/writer command data rwDATA and a reader/writer communication footer (parity for an error check and so forth) rwFT which have a longer data length are divided and placed divisionally into and transmitted together with the command data cmdDATA in communication packets. The transmitted data are received and merged.11-11-2010

20080288363Recording medium, information processing system and information processing method - An information processing system processes commodity order acceptance information generated in an online store. The system includes: a recording medium for a charging process for settling a charge imposed on purchase or lending of a commodity from an online store; a recording apparatus for recording delivery destination information indicative of a delivery destination of the commodity into the recording medium; a reading apparatus for reading the delivery destination information from the recording medium; and an information processing apparatus for commodity order acceptance connected to the reading apparatus, accepting an order or selection of the commodity, generating commodity order acceptance information. The information processing apparatus notifies an information processing apparatus for commodity order acceptance and delivery of commodity order acceptance information by which the delivery destination information read by the reading apparatus and commodity selection information obtained by order acceptance or commodity selection are associated with each other.11-20-2008
20090147150REMOTE CONTROL APPARATUS AND COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - Disclosed herein is a remote control apparatus for performing wireless communication with an electronic device, the remote control apparatus including: a reader/writer configured to read and/or write information from or to an information storage medium; and a transmission/reception section configured to transmit and receiving a signal to or from the electronic device via the wireless communication, wherein the transmission/reception section uses the same wireless communication system for both transmission of an operation instruction to the electronic device and transmission of information read from the information storage medium and reception from the electronic device of information to be written to the information storage medium.06-11-2009
20090147151REMOTE CONTROL APPARATUS - A remote control apparatus for remotely operating an electronic device. The remote control apparatus including: an operation section having a plurality of operation keys; and a reader/writer configured to read and/or write information from or to an information storage medium, wherein in said operation section, at least one of the plurality of operation keys is arranged so as to overlap a read/write portion of said reader/writer, the read/write portion being used for the reading and/or writing of the information from or to the information storage medium.06-11-2009
20090184161REMOTE CONTROL APPARATUS AND COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A remote control apparatus for communicating with an electric apparatus by radio communication is provided. The remote control apparatus includes a reader/writer for carrying out reading out and writing of information from and into an information recording medium; a transmission/reception section configured to transfer a signal to and from the electric apparatus by the radio communication; and a control section having a power control function for controlling the power of the reader/writer; the control section controlling the reader/writer to the low power consumption state when the power supply to the remote control apparatus is made available.07-23-2009
20090185081REMOTE CONTROL APPARATUS AND COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - Disclosed herein is a remote control apparatus for communicating with an electric apparatus by radio communication, including: a plurality of operation keys; a transmission/reception section for transferring a signal to and from the electric apparatus by the radio communication; and a control section having at least a power control function for controlling the power of the remote control apparatus; the control section controlling the transmission/reception section to a normal power state until a predetermined period of time elapses after a signal is inputted thereto by an input of any of the operation keys to enable transfer of a signal from the electric apparatus by the transmission/reception section, the control section controlling the transmission/reception section to a low power consumption state after the predetermined period of time elapses.07-23-2009
20100128771COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, COMMUNICATION FRAME FORMAT, AND SIGNAL PROCESSING METHOD - A communication apparatus includes a signal detection section that detects received information from a signal received through wireless communication. The signal detection section includes: a wave detection section that receives a signal in which the received information is superimposed on a carrier signal and that analyzes variations in an envelope of the received signal to generate a wave-detection signal containing the received information; an equalization processing section that corrects the wave-detection signal to output a corrected wave-detection signal; a detection section that receives the corrected wave-detection signal to detect the received information; and a training data detection section that detects from the received signal a training-data-detection sync signal allowing detection of training data utilized to optimize equalization characteristics of the equalization processing section. The equalization processing section starts a training process, in which the training data contained in the received signal are utilized, on the basis of the sync signal.05-27-2010
20100128773COMMUNICATION APPARATUS AND SIGNAL PROCESSING METHOD - A communication apparatus includes a signal detector that detects incoming (i.e., receives) information from a signal received wirelessly. The signal detector includes a wave detector, an equalizer, and a detector. The wave detector accepts an incoming signal wherein information is modulated onto a carrier signal, analyzes the envelope variation of the incoming signal, and generates a detection signal containing the incoming information. The equalizer corrects the detection signal and outputs a corrected detection signal. The detector then detects the incoming information from the corrected detection signal.05-27-2010
