Patent number: 8875217Abstract: A delay controller performs a delay control so as to stepwise increase a first delay amount in a first delay generator or second delay generator so as to minimize the delay amount of a video signal and an audio signal output from a first AV decoder and a second AV decoder. Thus, immediately after channel selection, the first video signal and the first audio signal or the second video signal and the second audio signal are output without a delay. This can provide a receiver capable of synchronizing the video signal output and the audio signal output between a plurality of receivable broadcast methods.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2007Date of Patent: October 28, 2014Assignee: Panasonic CorporationInventor: Keiichi Toiyama

Publication number: 20070216762Abstract: A video device having a screen for displaying an image thereon scales up and down the image by actions, such as the moving of the device or the moving of the face of a user to the device. An image storage unit stores the image to be displayed. A movement detector detects movement of the video device. A position detector detects a position of a user. A pixel-converting display unit reads the image from the image storage unit, clip, scale up, and scale down a portion of the image based on the movement detected by the movement detector and the position detected by the position detector, and display the portion of the image.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 8, 2005Publication date: September 20, 2007Inventor: Keiichi Toiyama
