Patent number: 8447167Abstract: A recording/reproduction device is provided wherein service content having interactivity can be restored even when recorded. In recording mode, a transport stream from a receiving device 34 is received and a conversion device 36 converts this to a packet-multiplexed stream in a condition suitable for recording, which is then output as a converted stream. The conversion device 36 selects packets relating to a desired service from the transport stream and, of these packets, selects only packets needed for reproduction and uses these to generate a converted stream. A recording device 38 records this converted stream on a recording medium 44. In reproduction mode, the converted stream from recording medium 44 is read by means of a reading device 42 and supplied to a restoration device 40. Restoration device 40, in accordance with the content of this converted stream, restores and outputs a service content signal (for example a composite signal such as NTSC).Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2008Date of Patent: May 21, 2013Assignee: Panasonic CorporationInventors: Shinji Nabeshima, Kazuo Okamura, Naoya Takao

Publication number: 20120155657Abstract: Audio data transmitted from another communication device is received by a receiver, and the received audio data is output to a speaker of a television. Audio is generated based on the output audio data, and the audio is input to a microphone of a camera/microphone device. Audio data corresponding to the input audio is input to an echo cancellation processing unit. An amount of distortion of the input audio data with respect to the received audio data is detected by the echo cancellation processing unit. It is determined whether or not the amount of distortion of the audio data detected by a distortion detector exceeds an acceptable amount. When the amount of distortion of the audio data exceeds the acceptable amount, notification data for presenting to the user a request for change of an output condition of the audio in the television is produced by a notification signal producer.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 26, 2011Publication date: June 21, 2012Applicant: PANASONIC CORPORATIONInventors: Naoya TAKAO, Kazuo FUJIMOTO, Shigeaki WATANABE, Masafumi KOUZUKI, Masaki ITOH
