Patent number: 8779990Abstract: An antenna which is laid out efficiently while ensuring a predetermined antenna directivity. An antenna area is formed on a corner of a substrate. An antenna conductor is formed in the antenna area, and is shaped so that a bend is formed between its ground end and its open end. A first ground area is formed on the substrate near the ground end of the antenna conductor, and is connected to the ground end. A second ground area is formed on the substrate near the open end of the antenna conductor. A feed unit feeds electricity to the antenna conductor.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2007Date of Patent: July 15, 2014Assignees: Sony Corporation, Sony Computer Entertainment Inc.Inventor: Kazuya Odagiri

Publication number: 20120196537Abstract: When wireless communications are performed with other communication devices, an inquiry message to discover other communication devices residing in the vicinity is wirelessly transmitted by having communication ranges altered at a plurality of stages; response messages to the transmitted inquiry message are received; information relating to a receiving state or frequency of receipt of the response messages from the respective communication ranges is preserved with respect to each communication device which is a source of the response message; and based on the preserved information relating to the receiving state or the frequency of receipt of the response messages a communication device to be a connection object for wireless communication is selected. By doing so, when short-range wireless communications are performed, communication services can be performed appropriately between required devices.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 10, 2012Publication date: August 2, 2012Inventors: Takashi Sasai, Makoto Sato, Hiroshi Kakuda, Kazuya Odagiri, Koji Nishimura

Patent number: 7356308Abstract: The present invention relates to a radio communication apparatus and a radio communications method, a radio communication system, a recording medium, and a computer program in which a response signal to an inquiry is returned to a master only when instructions to perform radio communications are issued. A CPU 51 blinks LED 56 when an inquiry signal is received, and transmits a response to the inquiry signal when a user who has referred to lighting of the LED 56 operates a connection response button 53. The connection response button 53 is operated when the user issues radio communications instructions with respect to the inquiry signal. In other words, even when wireless headphones 2 are within an area capable of radio communications with the master, only if the connection response button 53 is operated by the user, it sends to the master a response to the inquiry, and establishes connection.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 2007Date of Patent: April 8, 2008Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Osamu Hamada, Hiroshi Kakuda, Koji Nishimura, Takashi Sasai, Kazuya Odagiri
