Abstract: A communication medium with fewer limitations on the directivity or available communication range, such as an IP network, is used to perform a remote control operation. Since two-way communication can be carried out between a remote controller and a device to be operated, it is possible to provide more reliable communication by means of a delivery confirmation, to handle a GUI-based complex command scheme, and to provide large-volume data transmission, such as moving-image streaming, using relatively broad bands. A television receiver to be operated by the remote controller distributes moving-image data, such as a child view, to an IP remote controller through an IP network so that the data can be viewed on the IP remote controller.

Abstract: A portable terminal includes an obtaining unit configured to obtain program information via a network from a providing apparatus that provides the program information, the program information being used to display a program guide; a program-information storing unit configured to store the program information obtained; a displaying unit configured to display the program guide according to the obtained program information; and a display controlling unit configured to control display of the program guide so that the program guide is displayed according to the program information stored in the program-information storing unit. When an instruction for displaying a program guide is received, the obtaining unit newly obtains program information for updating the program information stored in the program information storing unit from the providing apparatus if the portable terminal is connected to the providing apparatus via the network.

Abstract: In a content reproducing system, the electronic apparatus includes a display controller for controlling display of a content list, a selecting unit for selecting, among the one or more reproducing apparatuses, a reproducing apparatus for reproducing one of the pieces of content, and an instructing unit for instructing the selected reproducing apparatus to reproduction of the selected one of the pieces of content, each of the one or more reproducing apparatuses includes a requesting unit for requesting the content provision apparatus to transmit the selected one of the pieces of content, a receiving unit for receiving the selected one of the pieces of content, and a reproduction controlling unit for controlling reproduction of the selected one of the pieces of content, and the content provision apparatus includes a recording unit for recording the pieces of content, and a transmitting unit for transmitting the selected one of the pieces of content.

Abstract: The present invention is relative to a method for management for connection to a network of an electronic apparatus having a networking function in which, when a malfunction has occurred in a connection to the network, a malfunction attributable to the own apparatus and a malfunction attributable to the external apparatus other than the own apparatus may be separated from each other for convenience in giving a judgment. An access controller (12) is provided to an electronic apparatus (10) for detecting the connection or non-connection of the apparatus to a LAN cable (22). When running an application, a micro-computer (13), provided to the electronic apparatus, checks a detection output of the access controller to make a check as to whether or not there is any malfunction pertinent to the network connection in the LAN cable and in the own apparatus. If, as a result of this check, there is no abnormal state, the application is executed.

Abstract: A wireless communication device includes: an available access point managing section managing available access point information relating to access points to which connection can be made; an access point selecting section selecting an access point to which connection is made when performing data communication with the server, on the basis of information relating to a reservable bandwidth for each of the access points, and the available access point information relating to the access points to which connection can be made; a bandwidth reservation requesting section making a request for reserving, from within a reservable bandwidth for the selected access point, a bandwidth required when performing data communication with the server; and a data communication section performing data communication with the server by using the bandwidth reserved for the access point.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for supervising the network connection employing an electronic apparatus employing in turn an OS (operating system) of a non-event driven system. The electronic apparatus includes a connector jack (11) for LAN, an access controller (12) for detecting that a LAN cable (22) has been connected to or disconnected from this connector jack, and a micro-computer (13). A detection output of the access controller is supplied as an interrupt signal to the micro-computer. When an interrupt by the detection output of the access controller has occurred, the micro-computer carries out the processing for connection/disconnection of the LAN cable.
