Publication number: 20210243707Abstract: Plural communication apparatuses connected via communication are synchronized while flexibly coping with a change in the communication state. A clock time management section manages a clock time. A clock time measurement section measures a clock time of another clock time management section of another apparatus and a clock time of the clock time management section of this apparatus for every predetermined processing, in the course of communication with the other apparatus having the other clock time management section. A clock time difference generation section generates a clock time difference between the clock time of the other clock time management section and the clock time of the clock time management section on the basis of the measured clock times. A clock time correction instruction section instructs the other apparatus to correct the clock time of the other clock time management section on the basis of the generated clock time difference.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 23, 2019Publication date: August 5, 2021Inventor: Michito Ishii

Patent number: 10594437Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a receiving apparatus and a method therefor which are capable of decreasing a processing load and efficiently improving reproduction quality. A packet accumulating unit stores packets and packet type, and another packet information. A statistics information accumulating unit accumulates statistics information (e.g., an error ratio, performance (processing condition) of the receiving apparatus, a condition of a stream, and a condition of a buffer). A packet-correcting-method selecting unit selects a packet correcting method from a packet correction table generated in accordance with the packet information and packet identification/statistics information from the statistics information accumulating unit, and supplies a packet to be corrected to a packet correcting unit in a case where the packet in process is determined to be a target of correction. For example, the present disclosure can be applied to a communication system that transmits and receives data.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2016Date of Patent: March 17, 2020Assignee: SONY CORPORATIONInventors: Kazuhiro Ishigaya, Shinji Negishi, Michito Ishii, Takehito Watanabe, Yasuyuki Chaki, Noriaki Ooishi

Patent number: 10178040Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a data processing device, a receiving device, a data processing method, and a program capable of suppressing degradation in quality in a case of reproducing data. In one example, a packet selection units selects one service stream from a multiplexed stream obtained by multiplexing a plurality of service streams. An insertion unit inserts null packets with time information, in which predetermined time information has been given to payloads, to spaces that become empty when the packet selection unit generates the one service stream. Thereafter, in the streams which have been demultiplexed after being multiplexed, the timing to output the null packets is adjusted with reference to the time information inserted in-to the null packets.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2015Date of Patent: January 8, 2019Assignee: Sony Semiconductor Solutions CorporationInventor: Michito Ishii
