Abstract: Request information 3 is transmitted from a transmission means la of a communication device 1 to a server 2. Then, related information 4a corresponding to the request information 3 and an identification code 4b are obtained and transmitted to the communication device 1 by a transmission means 2c. The related information 4a and identification code 4b are stored in a storage means 1c of the communication device 1. Thereafter, purchase request information 5a is transmitted to the server 2 by the transmission means 1a. This purchase request information 5a is added with an identification code 5b and user identification information 5c. Then, content data 6a corresponding to the purchase request information 5a and additional data 6b corresponding to the identification code 5b are transmitted to the communication device 1 by the transmission means 2c of the server 2.

Abstract: When in receiving a call sign to identify the radio station RS being received now from a client terminal CT and transmitting state information that shows the state of an information provision service about the radio station RS corresponding to the call sign to the above client terminal CT, if at least the information provision service is available, a URL corresponding to the above information provision service is transmitted to the client terminal CT together with the state information. Thereby, the URL corresponding to the above information provision service can be provided to the client terminal CT together with the state information showing the state of the information provision service about the radio station RS. It enables the user to clearly recognize the service state of the above information provision service in a step before accessing the information provision service.

Abstract: A disc conveying apparatus includes a first conveyor unit having a plurality of rollers which are arranged along a conveying path of a disc-shaped recording medium with gaps therebetween, which move in a direction away from the conveying path and rotate individually, and which convey the disc-shaped recording medium by successively rolling on a peripheral surface of the disc-shaped recording medium to pass the disc-shaped recording medium from one to another, a second conveyor unit which faces the first conveyor unit across the disc-shaped recording medium being conveyed, which is oriented along the conveying path, and which retains the disc-shaped recording medium between the first conveyor unit and the second conveyor unit, and a control unit which detects the position of the disc-shaped recording medium and controls the rotation of the rollers on the basis of the movement of the rollers in the direction away from the conveying path.

Abstract: An electronic apparatus such as a disc changer, including a moving unit, locking mechanism, output unit and a control unit is provided. The moving unit is provided movably in relation to the enclosure. The locking mechanism locks the moving unit against dislocation in relation to the enclosure, and also the moving unit against dislocation from its initial position. The output unit issues an alarm. The control unit judges whether the moving unit stays at its initial position for more than a predetermined time, and controls the output unit to issue an alarm when the result of the judgement is such that the moving unit stays at the initial position for more than the predetermined time.

Abstract: The present invention provides a recording device and dubbing system, in which inputted information is sequentially recorded at a recording medium and only information determined to be desired by the user remains on the recording medium while information determined not to be desired by the user can be erased.

Abstract: A disc recording/reproducing apparatus for selectively taking out a disc housed within a housing unit for recording or reproducing information signals on or from the disc is disclosed.

Abstract: A reproducing apparatus for a disc-like recording medium in which administration information of recorded information is recorded together with the information has a stocking section, a reproducing section, a transferring mechanism, a memory and a controller. A plurality of disc-like recording media are stocked in the stocking section in a laminate fashion. The reproducing section reproduces the information and the administration information recorded in the disc-like recording medium. The transferring mechanism selectively picks up the disc-like medium from the stocking section and transfers the picked-up recording medium between the stocking section and the reproducing section and transfers the recording medium to an eject position from the reproducing apparatus. The memory stores the administration information of the recording medium read out or reproduced by the reproducing section and information concerning a reproduction order.
