Publication number: 20120162346Abstract: A user can use a plurality of communication devices to sign in to a communication system. A recording message addressed to himself/herself may be recorded in a distributed manner in the plurality of communication devices. One of the communication devices is requested to display a list of incoming call information while signing in to the communication system using user information. The one communication device requests the other communication device to send incoming call information corresponding to the same user information. The incoming call information corresponding to the same user information is transmitted to the communication device in one terminal from the other communication device. In the one communication device, the incoming call information transmitted from the other communication device is received, and list data is generated based on the received incoming call information.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2011Publication date: June 28, 2012Applicant: PANASONIC CORPORATIONInventors: Shigeaki Watanabe, Naoya Takao, Kazuo Fujimoto, Masafumi Kouzuki, Masaki Itoh

Publication number: 20120155657Abstract: Audio data transmitted from another communication device is received by a receiver, and the received audio data is output to a speaker of a television. Audio is generated based on the output audio data, and the audio is input to a microphone of a camera/microphone device. Audio data corresponding to the input audio is input to an echo cancellation processing unit. An amount of distortion of the input audio data with respect to the received audio data is detected by the echo cancellation processing unit. It is determined whether or not the amount of distortion of the audio data detected by a distortion detector exceeds an acceptable amount. When the amount of distortion of the audio data exceeds the acceptable amount, notification data for presenting to the user a request for change of an output condition of the audio in the television is produced by a notification signal producer.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 26, 2011Publication date: June 21, 2012Applicant: PANASONIC CORPORATIONInventors: Naoya TAKAO, Kazuo FUJIMOTO, Shigeaki WATANABE, Masafumi KOUZUKI, Masaki ITOH

Publication number: 20100088103Abstract: Noise is prevented when decoding an audio stream not containing syncwords or CRC bits in the elementary stream. When decoding a current frame, the private header of the next frame is analyzed and the current frame is muted if the private header of the next frame is not valid. When there is a data discontinuity caused by editing, decoding resumes from the start address of the next frame determined.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 8, 2009Publication date: April 8, 2010Inventors: Taro Katayama, Toshiya Noritake, Kazuo Fujimoto

Patent number: 7521496Abstract: A phosphate-phosphonate compound which is lowly volatile, has a high phosphorus content, and does not influence various properties of a product when used as a material therefor. It is reduced in environmental burden in view of suitability for recycling and contains no halogen atoms including chlorine and bromine. The phosphorus compound has a phosphate-phosphonate bond within the molecule and has a specific ring structure. Because of this, the compound has excellent flame retardancy. Addition of the phosphate-phosphonate compound as a flame retardant for polyurethanes or polyesters imparts satisfactory plasticity and flame retardancy. The flame retardant is reduced in the exertion of adverse influences on the material properties of, in particular, polyurethane foams, polyester fibers, and the like.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2004Date of Patent: April 21, 2009Assignee: Daihachi Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.Inventors: Noriaki Tokuyasu, Kazuo Fujimoto, Manabu Hirata
