| 20110083198 | PROGRAM LICENCE MANAGEMENT TECHNIQUE IN AN AUDIO SIGNAL PROCESSING SYSTEM - CPU of a console accepts a full application activation instruction generated via an activation instruction switch. The CPU searches through all of apparatus of a mixing system, which the console belongs to, to detect any apparatus having connected thereto a USB dongle that has recorded therein an access key corresponding to an application program to be fully activated. If such an apparatus has been detected within the mixing system, the CPU places the application program in a fully activated state. If, on the other hand, no such apparatus has been detected, the CPU terminates a full application activation process. Such arrangements allows the application program, which requires authentication of the access key, to be executed with simple operation, while preventing unauthorized use of the application program. | 04-07-2011 |
| 20110230989 | AUDIO SIGNAL PROCESSOR AND AUDIO SIGNAL PROCESSING SYSTEM - Even when a system is made to have a configuration in which a plurality of transmission paths are connected to each other, a transmission-impossible time in each transmission path caused by changing a clock source to a device of a different transmission path can be shortened. In an audio signal processing system including first and second networks connected to each other through a bridge device, the bridge device operates as a slave in the first network and as a master in the second network. When the second network is reset, the bridge device starts to operate as a slave in the second network. Then, when continuous reception of an audio transmission frame that another device operating as a master in the second network has transmitted is started, the bridge device resets the first network and starts to operate as a master in the first network. | 09-22-2011 |
