  • Publication number: 20140143802
    Abstract: Provided are a signal processing device and a program which is capable of switching from a broadcast program to VOD, and during viewing of the VOD, if an emergency alert is superimposed upon a broadcast wave, displays the emergency alert under certain conditions, and which additionally is capable of displaying only VOD when viewing a recording. This signal processing device (4), on the basis of a signal from a remote control (R), upon switching to VOD content on the basis of an AIT in order to display the content upon a display (21), in response to detection of a boot flag for an emergency alert broadcast for a TMCC carrier included in a broadcast wave of a broadcasting station before the switching, displays the emergency alert broadcast included in the broadcast wave upon the display (21).

  • Publication number: 20140089994
    Abstract: The integrated broadcasting communications receiver (400) receives from an application, by the resource request receiving unit (416a), a normal resource request and a resource request with time reservation for specifying a usage start time, then determines, by the resource allocating unit (416b), for the normal resource request and the resource request with time reservation received by the resource request receiving unit (416a) whether or not the resource requests can be granted, and then allocates one or more resources. When the resource request with time reservation is not granted at the initial usage start time, the resource allocating unit (416b) delays the usage start time and determines at the delayed usage start time again whether or not the resource request can be granted.

  • Patent number: 6490010
    Abstract: Stabilized carrier recovery is achieved even at the time of a low C/N ratio by measuring the phase of a signal and controlling VCO or NCO (Numerical Controlled Oscillator) using only a period having few constellation points. At this time, false lock phenomenon is avoided as follows. That is, relatively short SYNC modulated by an already-known pattern is entered into a modulation wave, VCO or NCO oscillation frequency is swept in a wide range and sweep is stopped at a frequency in which the SYNC can be received, thereby carrying out coarse control AFC. Further, a period having long to some extent, having few constellation points is provided in the modulation wave and then, a difference between the frequency of a received modulated signal and a local oscillation signal of VCO or NCO is obtained in this period.
