  • Patent number: 8265097
    Abstract: A communication apparatus including multiplexed data receiving unit that receives multiplexed data including at least audio data, an extracting unit that extracts the audio data from the multiplexed data, a telephone unit that transmits/receives telephone audio data, and an audio output unit that outputs at least one of the extracted audio data and the telephone audio data. The telephone unit continues to transmit/receive the telephone audio data when an occurrence of an initiating event of the multiplexed data receiving unit is detected while the telephone audio data is being received. The audio output unit outputs the telephone audio data when the occurrence of the initiating event is detected while the telephone audio data is being received. The multiplexed data receiving unit initiates receiving the multiplexed data when the occurrence of the initiating event is detected while the telephone audio is being received.

  • Patent number: 7983307
    Abstract: A hybrid terminal of a mobile phone and a digital broadcast receiver allows calling on the mobile phone while at the same time receiving a digital broadcast itself even in the event of receiving a call while at the same time receiving the digital broadcast. Upon receiving a call while at the same time receiving a digital broadcast, a caption within the digital broadcast is decoded and displayed. When the user presses a call start/end button, an analog path is switched to an audio telephone path so as to start a call and the broadcast caption is also decoded and displayed. When the user presses the call start/end button to end a call, the audio path is switched to a digital broadcast audio path, and decoding and display of the broadcast caption is stopped.

  • Patent number: 7502386
    Abstract: Upon receiving a call while receiving a digital broadcast, an audio path switching control unit switches an audio path to an output side of a telephone audio processing unit, and outputs telephone audio data received, when the user presses the call start/end button to end the call, the audio path switching control unit switches the audio path to the side of a digital broadcast audio processing, and outputs audio data extracted from the digital broadcast.

    Abstract: A hybrid terminal of a mobile phone and a digital broadcast receiver allows calling on the mobile phone while at the same time receiving a digital broadcast itself even in the event of receiving a call while at the same time receiving the digital broadcast. Upon receiving a call while at the same time receiving a digital broadcast, a telephone RF unit 113 sends a receive invent to an event analysis processing unit 112. The event analysis processing unit 112 makes a request to a program information processing unit 104 for displaying the caption, and at the same time makes a request to an audio path switching control unit 109 for switching the audio path to the output side of a telephone audio processing unit 114. The program information processing unit 104 makes a multiplexed transmission separating unit 103 separate the caption and a caption/data broadcast processing unit 105 decodes separated caption data.
