Abstract: A method for distributing advertisement data to display terminal devices from a distribution server via a relay server. The relay server receives status notifications of the display terminal devices and transmits a tenor of receipt of the status notifications to the display terminal devices. The distribution server receiving status notifications and transmits the tenor of receipt of the status notifications to the relay server. The distribution server determines whether the reproduction schedule of the advertisement data has been changed and transmits a notification on a change. If the distribution server receives a request for acquisition of the as-changed reproduction schedule, the distribution server sends the as-changed reproduction schedule to the relay server. If the relay server determines that the reproduction schedule acquired from the distribution server has been changed, the relay server transmits the notification on the change of the reproduction schedule.

Abstract: A data processing system includes a distributing device that distributes edited advertisement data and display terminal devices that display the edited advertisement data distributed to a first place in a predetermined territory. The display terminal devices are each provided with a first reader/writer configured to read out from and/or write in an IC card having stored memory identification data. The data processing system also includes a second reader/writer configured to read out from and/or write in an IC card. The data processing system also includes a hysteresis management device that manages hysteresis data HD1, HD2 from the first reader/writer, correlated with the memory identification data, and hysteresis data HD1 from the second reader/writer, correlated with the memory identification data. The data processing system further includes a hysteresis analysis device that correlates the hysteresis data HD1, HD2 for each of the memory identification data to generate analysis data.

Abstract: In a method of machining an electronic circuit substrate in which a sub-substrate is attached to a main substrate, an electronic circuit substrate and a method of machining the same in which the sub-substrate can be attached to the main substrate with high degree of accuracy are provided without forming the arcuate portions at corners of the outline of the substrate and corners of an insertion hole even when a router is used for machining substrates.

Abstract: The present invention has non-contact communication means (3a) configured to read a card identifier ID stored in a memory of an IC card, a barcode generation unit (22) configured to generate a two-dimensional barcode of a bonus data associated with the card identifier ID read by the non-contact communication means (3a), and a display unit (13) configured to display the two-dimensional barcode of the bonus data generated by the barcode generation unit (22). And, the bonus data displayed on a display unit 13 in the two-dimensional barcode is read by a barcode reader (2a) of a POS terminal (2).

Abstract: Advertisement video data in which coupon ID data attached to each of coupons is embedded as a watermark is distributed and reproduced; part of the video data provided by a display device (30) is captured by an image pickup section (41) of a mobile phone device (40), and the coupon ID data is extracted from the captured advertisement video data; the extracted coupon ID data is stored into a secure memory (48) that holds terminal ID data; the coupon ID data and the terminal ID data transmitted from the mobile phone device (40) are received; and a log in effect when each coupon related to the coupon ID data is identified and redeemed is transmitted to a coupon management device (60) whereby the terminal ID data and the redemption logs are managed in relation to the coupon ID data by the coupon management device (60). This makes it possible efficiently to distribute the coupons using the advertising media and to measure the effects of advertisement based on coupon use status.

Abstract: A broadcast receiver is provided which can prevent recording of uncopyable contents without failing to record copyable contents. A copy information detecting unit (4) detects copy control information attached to contents. A discriminating unit (5) discriminates the copyability or uncopyability. The contents recorded in a user-unreadable recording unit (6) is transferred to a user-readable recording unit (7) only if copyable.

Abstract: Coupons can be easily distributed to users and, in the distribution, the illegal use of coupons is prevented.

Abstract: A data processing system includes a distributing device that distributes edited advertisement data, formed by an editing device, and display terminal devices that display the edited advertisement data distributed to a first place in a predetermined territory. The display terminal devices each include a first reader/writer configured to read out from and/or write in an IC card having stored memory identification data. A second reader/writer is installed in a second place of the predetermined territory and configured to read out from and/or write in the IC card. A hysteresis management device manages hysteresis data from the first reader/writer, correlated with the memory identification data, and hysteresis data from the second reader/writer, correlated with the memory identification data. A hysteresis analysis device correlates the hysteresis data for each of the memory identification data to generate analysis data.

Abstract: According to the signal processing apparatus of the present invention, in a text signal processing circuit, predetermined signal processes are executed to a luminance signal Y and color difference signals U and V in which a ratio of sampling clocks is equal to (4:4:4) and resultant signals are supplied to a mixing circuit. In a video signal processing circuit, predetermined signal processes are executed to the signals Y, U, and V in which a ratio of sampling clocks is equal to (4:1:1) or (4:2:2). The signal Y is supplied to the mixing circuit through a delay adjusting circuit and the high frequency components are removed from the signals U and V by a band limiting filter and, after that, the resultant signals are supplied to the mixing circuit. The signal mixed by the mixing circuit is supplied to a LPF through a D/A converter. In the LPF, the signal is demodulated by the band limiting filter according to (4:4:4).

In the system, a series of signal portions each representing at least one field of the video signal and spaced from each other by a time which is p times (p is an integer) the length of one field are successively concentrically recorded on the disc or cylinder, and the concentrically recorded tracks are successively reproduced while repeating the reproduction on each track a plurality of times.

Abstract: A flux sensitive magnetic head is disclosed which comprises conductive electrodes formed contiguous to the principal surface of a semiconductor substrate at a predetermined spacing, the electrodes being formed by evaporating or diffusing a conductive material on or into the substrate, and a flux sensitive element bridging the electrodes.
