| 20100254437 | SIGNAL PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, SIGNAL PROCESSING METHOD, DATA DISPLAY METHOD, AND PROGRAM - In a signal processing apparatus a synchronizer acquires synchronization with the spreading code of an intermediate frequency signal converted from a signal received from a satellite in a global positioning system. A demodulator then demodulates a message contained in the intermediate frequency signal. A measuring unit outputs a primary signal to a predetermined signal line, the primary signal expressing positioning results for the apparatus as measured on the basis of the demodulated message. A secondary signal output unit attaches a predetermined header to a secondary signal and outputs the result to the predetermined signal line, the secondary signal containing at least the intermediate frequency signal, or a signal generated from the intermediate frequency signal. | 10-07-2010 |
