Abstract: A recording/reproduction device that prevents content and related content from being reproduced simultaneously. The recording/reproducing device (110) includes a recording area (115), a communication processing unit (119) outputting the related content having details identical to details of the content recorded onto the recording area (115) into an external recording medium (160), and an encoding/decoding processing unit (117) obtaining unique information of the external recording medium (160). The encoding/decoding processing unit (117) changes a state of content recorded in the recording area (115) into an irreproducible state unless the unique information of the content is used, when the related content is outputted to the external recording medium (160), and then reproduces the content recorded in the recording area (115) using the unique information, when the encoding/decoding processing unit (117) obtains the unique information.

Abstract: A wireless device, which employs the method and function of removing the coupling and correlation of antennas, picks up the noise components released from inside the device together with the current induced to a second antenna. The wireless device then controls the amplitude and phase of the pickup signal so as to optimize the reception quality signal for received signal, and additively combines it with the signal received from the first antenna. The coupled component, which is induced from the first antenna to the second antenna, is cancelled together with the noise component, thus mainly cancelling the largest cause of desensitization. This results in the maximization of the receiving sensitivity.

Abstract: A sub-scrambling/descrambling method and device enhances the degree of scrambling of linear PCM data. Data is delimited at predetermined times, and the minimum value of a run is found and used as annex information. The run part is replaced with an arbitrary irreversible random data string, which is processed by a main scrambling device to generate transmission data. After main descrambling of the transmission data, a descrambling device takes out the annex Information and replaces the random data string with a predetermined “0” or “1” run according to the annex information. Thus, the degree of scrambling of linear PCM data is enhanced as much or more than compressed video data.
