Abstract: A TV transmitter, a TV transmitting method, a TV receiver and a TV receiving method allowing users to find and choose desired programs through the use of a program guide displayed by graphical user interface (GUI). The TV transmitter comprises a signal generation unit for generating text data signals associated with TV broadcast programs and hyper text data signals corresponding to the text data signals, a multiplexer for multiplexing the text data signals and the hyper text data signals onto video signals of the TV broadcast programs to provide a multiplexed TV broadcast signal, and an output unit for outputting the multiplexed TV broadcast signal provided by the multiplexer.

Abstract: In order to increase a response rate, a data mining server selects an advertisement mail among a plurality of advertisement mails to be sent in a test transmission to personal computers selected at random among those owned by registered customers. The data mining server then computes learning parameters for each of sent advertisement mails from learning data created from response results of the test transmissions. Then, the data mining server applies learning parameters of each advertisement mail to original assessment data of other personal computers each serving as an object of an actual transmission to find predicted values. Subsequently, the data mining server extracts assessment data with largest advertisement-mail predicted values from the original assessment data. The data mining server then synthesizes the extracted pieces of assessment data.

Abstract: A television method and receiver are configured to receive a television broadcast signal that includes multimedia data files including hypertext data. The multimedia data files relate to a television program guide and the hypertext data includes address information that designates a linked multimedia data file. Once extracted and stored, a processor interprets the multimedia data files and generates a display signal including the television program guide and link portions based on the hypertext data. The processor is able to recognize and address information of each link portion that is pointed to by way of a user interface. The processor then retrieves the linked multimedia data file corresponding to the recognized address information and interprets the retrieved linked multimedia data file so as to generate the display signal.

Abstract: The scanning locus of a rotary head type recording and reproducing apparatus is evaluated by reproducing a tape having a number of oblique recording tracks. Respective track addresses are assigned to each track, and each track includes a number of block addresses. The track address and block address reproduced at a given time are supplied to an address map data storage device to generate in the address map data storage device a set of map information indicative of the scanning conditions of the rotary heads. This makes it possible to determine easily whether the reproducing conditions along the scanning locus with respect to the recording track are good or bad.

Abstract: Digital data consisting of different kinds of digital audio signals having sampling frequencies, numbers of quantization bits and the like that are different from those of the two-channel digital audio signals, display data, program data, and the like are recorded in the same signal format as that of the two-channel digital audio signals. A code signal representing either of the two-channel digital audio signals and the digital data is recorded and control data indicative of the linear velocity of the digital disc upon reproduction are inserted in every frame of the recording signal. One block of the digital data is formed by a predetermined amount of data and the same control data used for controlling the processing of the digital data is recorded at least twice in one block. The digital disc is rotated at a constant linear velocity on the basis of the control data upon reproduction.

Abstract: Phoneme recognition uses the silence-phoneme and phoneme-phoneme transition spectral information rather than the phoneme information itself. The transition detector features first and second differences in level for each frequency band.
