Patent number: 9042282Abstract: A first communication control unit and a second communication control unit share a single transmission and reception unit. The second communication control unit maintains connection with a terminal device while the first communication control unit is scanning frequency channels to search for an access point. When a search processing unit 104 detects an access point, the second communication control unit 200 switches the frequency channel for use in communication with the terminal device to the channel used in the detected access point.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2013Date of Patent: May 26, 2015Assignees: Sony Corporation, Sony Computer Entertainment Inc.Inventors: Tai Hirakawa, Hideaki Shimizu, Jun Nishihara, Kenji Inose

Patent number: 7779442Abstract: This invention relates to an information delivery system and method, an information transmission apparatus and method, and an information receiving apparatus and method for delivering a digital multi-channel service signal through a satellite and a cable network. A QPSK demodulation circuit demodulates an inputted TS and outputs it to an error correction circuit. The error correction circuit corrects the inputted signal and outputs it to a network information (NIT) conversion circuit. The NIT conversion circuit replaces the NIT for CS waves with NIT for cable TV and outputs it to a QAM demodulation circuit. The QAM demodulation circuit demodulates the inputted signal and pouts it to a frequency conversion circuit. The frequency conversion circuit converts the frequency of the inputted signal into a predetermined value and outputs the signal to a signal mixer.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 1999Date of Patent: August 17, 2010Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Keiji Fukuzawa, Masakatsu Toyoshima, Katsumi Ohishi, Kenji Inose

Patent number: 7263713Abstract: In a television signal transmission system, CS broadcasting signals received via a master antenna are converted into intermediate frequency signals in an LNB (Low Noise Block Down Converter). The CS intermediate frequency signals then undergo conversion of the modulation format, for example, from QPSK into 64-QAM, so that CS broadcasting signals from each transponder, having a bandwidth of, for example, 27 MHz, are accommodated in a narrower bandwidth, for example, 6 MHz, which is equivalent to one channel of terrestrial broadcasting services. Then, the signals accommodated in the narrower bandwidth is frequency-shifted into a vacant frequency band in the VHF band or the UHF band. Accordingly, the CS signals accommodated in the narrower band and frequency-shifted into the vacant band are multiplexed with terrestrial broadcasting signals in the VHF and UHF bands and BS intermediate frequency signals so that all these signals are delivered to each household via a single cable.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2001Date of Patent: August 28, 2007Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Katsumi Oishi, Keiji Fukuzawa, Kenji Inose

Patent number: 7051355Abstract: In a step S1, when the user executes a tuning operation (a service-number input operation) on an input section, the information is output to a control section. In a step S3, the control section determines whether the service number selected in the step S1 corresponds to a promotion channel. When it is determined that the service number corresponds to a promotion channel, the procedure proceeds to a step S11. In the step S11, the control section displays on the monitor a message indicating that the selected service number is not found.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2000Date of Patent: May 23, 2006Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Kenji Inose, Katsumi Oishi, Hirofumi Yuchi, Haruhiko Yata, Keiichi Kurokawa, Yuichiro Nakamura

Patent number: 6687308Abstract: The display section 35 connected to a control section 31 displays, at the same time, both the contents described in the network information table of the digital broadcast data demodulated by a demodulator 42 and complying with the first network, and also the contents described in the network information table of the digital broadcast data replaced by an NIT-replacing circuit 48 and complying with the second network. An NIT-detecting circuit 44 detects an NITa from an MPEG2 transport packet, i.e., digital broadcast data in the satellite broadcasting system (first network). The control section 31 complying with a CATV system (second network) generates the data representing at least the transmission frequency of the NITa detected by the NIT-detecting circuit 44. The NIT-replacing circuit 48 replaces the NITa contained in the MPEG2 transport packet, i.e.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2000Date of Patent: February 3, 2004Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Kenji Inose, Katsumi Oishi

Publication number: 20030061613Abstract: The present invention relates to an information processing device that can transfer and set a condition in front end processing according to the procedure based on the rule of I2C or transfer the condition in the form of a command set. An application 31B generates control data to be transferred to a front end, and supplies the control data to an interface 31C through OS 31A together with information indicating a transfer pattern (first transfer pattern (a pattern in which the control data are transferred according to the procedure based on the rule of I2C) or a second transfer pattern (a pattern in which the control data are transferred in the form of a command set)). An interface 31C stores the control data in a transfer format by a storage method based on the transfer pattern indicated by the information, and transfers the control data to a microcomputer of the front end. The present invention is applicable to IRD.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 9, 2002Publication date: March 27, 2003Inventor: Kenji Inose

Publication number: 20030002598Abstract: To easily cope with change in methods of media. A CPU 22 controls a front end 21 including a tuner 41, a demodulator 42, and an error corrector 43 indirectly with a common control command, independent of a zone and a transmission medium. That is, an application program 22A of the CPU 22 creates a control command based on a command set defined in advance, and sends it out to the front end 21 via an interface 22B. The control application 40B of the front end 21 converts the control command transferred via the interface 40A into a data format recognizable for the tuner 41, the demodulator 42, and the error corrector 43, and transfers it to a driver 40C. The driver 40C controls each processing unit based on the control command.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 28, 2002Publication date: January 2, 2003Inventors: Kenji Inose, Keiji Fukuzawa

Patent number: 6480551Abstract: A digital broadcast program broadcast with a first network is transmitted to a second network. A tuner 41 selects digital broadcast signal having a predetermined transmission frequency and ECC decoder 43 obtains MPEG2 TS packet S3 as the digital broadcast data on the digital satellite broadcasting. An NIT detecting circuit 44 detects NIT from the MPEG2 TS packet S3 and a control unit 31 changes the NIT to obtain a table NITb applicable to CATV. A NIT substitution circuit 48 detects NIT from the MPEG2 TS packet S3 and substitutes table the NITb for the NIT to obtain MPEG2 TS packet S4 as the digital broadcast data on the CATV. Then, an error correct code is added to the MPEG2 TS packet S4 and the added packet S4 is modulated. Then, modulated one is frequency-converted to obtain digital broadcast signal BS-1 having a predetermined transmission frequency for the CATV.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 1998Date of Patent: November 12, 2002Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Katsumi Ohishi, Naohisa Kitazato, Kenji Inose
