  • Patent number: 8086589
    Abstract: A communication apparatus transmits information to a search apparatus that stores related information associated with broadcast content. The search apparatus searches for the related information of the broadcast content based on a broadcast time. The communication apparatus includes an operation unit that executes an operation. The communication apparatus also includes a counter that initiates a count operation for counting a count value in response to the operation of the operation unit, and that resets the count value in response to a transmission of the count value to the search apparatus. The counter is kept stopped between a time of the transmission and a time the operation unit is next operated. The communication apparatus additionally includes a communication unit that transmits the transmission of the count value to the search apparatus for a derivation of the broadcast time using the count value and a current time.

  • Patent number: 8041864
    Abstract: A storage apparatus is provided, including a USB connector configured to communicate with an external device, a storage device including a cap for covering the USB connector, and an interface to control a communication with the external device via the USB connector. A memory stores data transferred from the external device via the USB connector and the interface. A controller manages the interface and the memory. A portable case is configured to contain the interface, the memory, and the controller. A user input button on an external surface of the portable case receives a user input so that the controller may control the memory to store different information based on how many times, or how long, the user actuates the button.

  • Patent number: RE41957
    Abstract: A play list comprising the names of music pieces broadcasted from a broadcast station and broadcast time information are accumulated in a data base. If a user likes a music piece broadcasted from the broadcast station, he activates a book marker which stores time information representing the time at which the book marker is activated. The time information is supplied through a gateway device to a search engine which searches the data base for those broadcast stations in the user's geographic area which broadcasted music pieces or the like at a time that matches the time information. The search results are transmitted to the gateway device and displayed.
