Patent number: 6252885Abstract: The CATV system includes a center device and a plurality of terminal devices. The center device sends downstream timeslots, to the terminal devices, including upstream timeslots occupancy information and collision information. Upstream timeslot occupancy information indicates whether or not an upstream timeslot corresponding to the downstream timeslot is vacant, and collision information indicates whether or not a collision has occurred. The terminal device receives the downstream timeslot, checks upstream timeslot occupancy information to detect upstream timeslot in the vacant state, and sends upstream data to the center device via the vacant upstream timeslot. If the upstream timeslot makes a collision, the center device detects it and sends a downstream timeslot which includes collision information indicative of the occurrence of the collision. The user of the terminal device recognizes the collision having occurred or not by referring to the collision information.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 1999Date of Patent: June 26, 2001Assignees: Pioneer Electronic Corporation, Image A CorporationInventors: Kenji Yashiro, Tetsuichiro Sasada

Patent number: 4475121Abstract: A polling pattern generator system for use in a CATV system including a polling pattern generator and a passive data monitor. The polling pattern generator periodically generates polling pattern signals each of which has a specific address code for calling a corresponding terminal unit and a command code for requesting a designated answer from the called terminal unit. The passive data monitor compares an up data signal outputted from the terminal unit in response to the command code with the designated answer requested by the command code and judges whether or not an operational state of the terminal unit is acceptable from the resultant comparison output. The passive data monitor sets the address code in the designated terminal unit.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 1981Date of Patent: October 2, 1984Assignee: Pioneer Electronic CorporationInventor: Kenji Yashiro

Patent number: 4408345Abstract: A remote line monitoring device and method for a CATV system in which a center facility is connected to plural terminal units through cables of the system to transmit television signals to subscribers' homes. A plurality of monitoring terminal units are provided along various points of the interconnecting cables. Each of the monitoring terminal units is identified by an unique address. To determine conditions throughout the system, a central monitoring system transmits polling signals on the cables. If an address contained within the polling signals matches with a prestored identifying address, a monitoring terminal unit responds by transmitting data produced by monitoring converter units back to the center facility. The center facility can then display the data or produce indications identifying problems along the cables.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 1980Date of Patent: October 4, 1983Assignee: Pioneer Electronic CorporationInventors: Kenji Yashiro, Toshio Tabata
