Patent number: 6785192Abstract: A reproduction apparatus and a reproduction method by which an error of time information that arises from interruption of power supplied to a timer that manages the term of term-managed contents data is minimized to allow accurate term management of the contents data. The timer produces time information when power is supplied to the timer from a cell, but the timer stops operating when no power is supplied thereto. The time information produced by the timer is stored into a memory, and the memory holds the stored time information when no power is supplied to the timer. When power from the cell is restored to the timer, the timer is set accordingly to the time information stored in the memory, so that the timer may thereafter produce correct time information thereby allowing term management of the term-managed contents data to be performed accurately.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2001Date of Patent: August 31, 2004Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Yoshitaka Ukita, Kenji Irie

Patent number: 6259926Abstract: In an ID transfer method used in a wireless communication appliance system, a bit number of the ID used to avoid erroneous recognitions is increased. However, when the bit number of this ID is increased, the protocol time of a message is prolonged, resulting in a short battery lifetime, and radio interference problems. To avoid these problems, in an ID transfer method used in a wireless communication appliance system in which a wireless communication is established between wireless communication appliances having the same IDs, when data is transmitted/received by way of a message of a wireless form, a portion of the ID is overlapped with information of the message by executing an arithmetic operation, and then the message overlapped with the portion of the ID is transmitted.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 1998Date of Patent: July 10, 2001Assignee: Sony CorporationInventor: Kenji Irie
