  • Publication number: 20090195692
    Abstract: A data processor capable of preventing a system from starting up improperly due to incomplete program updating. The data processor receives, by way of an external interface, a program which is sent by communicating medium such as a broadcast wave or a telephone network from an external device and stores the received program into a memory B which is different from a memory A storing a program for the system when a version of the received program is newer than that of a program currently executed by the data processor, thereby starting up an MPU at the next time with the program stored in the memory B.

  • Patent number: 7511765
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus receives a broadcast wave and reproduces a first image from a storage medium if a display mode of the image processing apparatus is a first display mode. The image processing apparatus starts recording a second image obtained from the broadcast wave on the storage medium without stopping the reproduction of the first image if the display mode of the image processing apparatus is changed from the first display mode to a second display mode. The image processing apparatus displays the first image and the second image on a display unit if the display mode of the image processing apparatus is the first display mode. The image processing apparatus displays the first image on the display unit but does not display the second image on the display unit if the display mode of the image processing apparatus is the second display mode.

  • Publication number: 20050125819
    Abstract: The invention provides a broadcast reception apparatus allowing, when a reception status is worsened in a child device, to automatically view the broadcast program that has been viewed in the child device, in continuation in a parent device. A parent/child television system include an antenna 1, a parent device A100, a child device B200 capable of wireless communication with the parent device A100, and a remote control 33. When a broadcasting is viewed in the child device B200 utilizing a digital tuner B12 of the parent device A100, a CPU-B58 of the child device B200 watches the reception state of the child device B200, and in case a transmission error is found frequently and another digital tuner A2 of the parent device A100 is not in use, a CPU-A 38 of the parent device A100 terminates transmission of a transport stream data to the child device B200 and sets the digital tuner A2, a video decoder A6 and an audio decoder A7 in a state where broadcast program can be viewed in the parent device A100.

  • Publication number: 20050114901
    Abstract: An information processor enabling a digital broadcast to be viewed at a child device at a low cost, a TV system and a program are provided. Video decoders are corrected to the post-stage of demultiplexers, respectively, and video data of MPEG divided by the demultiplexers is decoded by the video decoders. At this time, the video data of MPEG is converted into a display format of a base band in a raster scan form. A common memory having a capacity equivalent to at least one displayed image, and a memory controller controlling the operation of the common memory are further provided. Three write video data output from resolution converters is stored in the common memory under control by the memory controller.
