| 20080275940 | Server Apparatus, Client Apparatus and Network System - The network system comprises an original device description indicating a control point so as to register an address used for MAC address authentication. The server side acquires information from the device(s) connected to the network, and only the device(s) having the above mentioned description are listed and displayed. By responding to the access from the non-registered device in a predetermined manner, the device is prompted to be registered, said device corresponding with the device description, but not registered. | 11-06-2008 |
| 20080284913 | AUDIO-VISUAL SYSTEM, REPRODUCING APPARATUS, AND DISPLAY DEVICE - The TV receiver as a display device has a drawing generation unit for generating display side drawing data of drawn picture according to a display format for on-screen display, and a reproducing apparatus has a drawing generation unit for generating reproduction side drawing data of drawn picture according to a display format for display on the TV receiver. The drawing generation unit receives the display format information of the drawing generation unit through a connection cable, and generates reproduction side drawing data of display format based on the received display side display format information. The reproducing apparatus supplies the contents data including the generated reproduction side drawing data to the TV receiver through the connection cable, and the TV receiver presents the drawn picture based on the supplied reproduction side drawing data. | 11-20-2008 |

| 20090262256 | VIDEO/SOUND OUTPUT DEVICE AND EXTERNAL SPEAKER CONTROL DEVICE - A television set includes: an internal speaker which outputs sound; a memory which holds information; a remote controller receiver which receives an instruction from the outside of the television set; a microcomputer which causes, based on a mode specifying instruction for specifying a sound output mode received by the remote controller receiver, the memory to hold any one of (a) information that indicates a first sound output mode in which sound is outputted from the internal speaker and (b) information that indicates a second sound output mode in which sound is outputted from an external speaker that is a speaker outside the television set; and an HDMI/CEC communication unit which outputs the information that indicates the sound output mode and that is held by the memory, to an amplifier which controls to operate or not operate the speaker outside the television set. | 10-22-2009 |
| 20100169524 | DEVICE CONTROL METHOD AND PROGRAM RECORDED MEDIUM ON WHICH THE METHOD IS RECORDED - Detecting an input source of a signal of a device connected to a bus and determining whether the signal is converted, extracted, multiplexed, or processed. Efficiently controlling the connection of each unit connected on the bus. Issuing a command for detecting the output plug or source plug as the signal source. The unit or subunit receiving this command shows the signal source. Obtaining information showing whether a subunit is present in the unit or not. | 07-01-2010 |
| 20100178040 | DIGITAL BROADCAST RECEIVING APPARATUS, RECORDING APPARATUS, METHOD AND SYSTEM - The present invention provides a digital broadcast receiving apparatus which enables simple programming for receiving a digital television broadcast and/or a radio broadcast. The digital broadcast receiving apparatus according to the present invention is a digital broadcast receiving apparatus which receives a digital broadcast, and includes: a broadcast receiving unit that receives a digital broadcast; an extraction unit that extracts a service description table from the received digital broadcast; an identification unit that identifies, from the extracted service description table, transport stream identification information, network identification information, and service identification information, as stream identification information; and a transmission unit that transmits, to a recording apparatus, the identified stream identification information and a recording command. | 07-15-2010 |
| 20100225828 | AUDIO VIDEO SYSTEM, CONTROL APPARATUS, OUTPUT APPARATUS, AND PROGRAM - When a conventional audio video system is used, it is necessary to identify an input source of audio video information. For this reason, complicated operations and slow operation times have been a problem. A control apparatus ( | 09-09-2010 |
| 20100315553 | AUDIO-VIDEO DATA SYNCHRONIZATION METHOD, VIDEO OUTPUT DEVICE, AUDIO OUTPUT DEVICE, AND AUDIO-VIDEO OUTPUT SYSTEM - To provide an audio-video data synchronization method whereby an increase in the amount of control message transmission can be suppressed and the video output can be prevented from being interrupted. The audio-video data synchronization method includes: obtaining, by the audio output device, a first latency that is a period of time taken for the video output device to output the video, by receiving the display identification data that includes information indicating the first latency from the video output device when the indication of the connection validity status information changes from Invalid to Valid; adjusting, by the audio output device, timing of outputting the audio according to the first latency; obtaining, by the video output device, a second latency which is a period of time taken to output the video in the outputting; notifying the audio output device of the second latency by sending a control message from the video output device when the connection validity status information indicates Valid, the control message including information that indicates the second latency obtained in the obtaining of a second latency; and adjusting, by the audio output device, timing of outputting the audio according to the second latency. | 12-16-2010 |
| 20110125301 | SOUND REPRODUCTION APPARATUS - A sound reproduction apparatus of the present application stores the physical address value of a source device that is the device to be switched to, and references the physical address values that are parameters of CEC commands issued by other devices. In the case where the referenced physical address value matches the stored physical address value of the source device, the sound reproduction apparatus automatically switches the sound input to the sound input for the device to be switched to. In this manner, the sound reproduction apparatus can reproduce sound based on a multichannel sound signal output from the source device. Also, in the case where a user sets the source device to a viewing state through a sink device, the sound reproduction apparatus automatically switches the sound input to the sound input from the source device. | 05-26-2011 |
