  • Patent number: 8478106
    Abstract: The present invention provides a recording/reproducing device which shortens time required for dubbing, when a user performs the dubbing of program data. The recording/reproducing device of the present invention is a recording/reproducing device which records and reproduces information, including: a tuner control unit 4 which obtains first information; a recording/reproduction control unit 13 which records, in an HDD 15, the first information obtained by the tuner control unit 4, and records, in an optical disc held in the optical disc drive 14, second information which is information having the same content as the first information; a CPU 5 which invalidates the second information; and a user input control unit 9 which receives an instruction requesting the first information recorded in the HDD 15 to be recorded in the optical disc. In the case where the user input control unit 9 receives the instruction, the CPU 5 validates the invalidated second information.

  • Patent number: 6670873
    Abstract: When pressing a pushbutton (12) in this thin switch (40), the pushbutton (12) rotates at a constant stroke until a lower end of this pushbutton (12) on the side of a permanent magnet (16) comes into contact with a lower display panel (22). Following this rotation, positional relation between the permanent magnet (16) and a Hall element integrated circuit (44) corresponding to this pushbutton (12) changes and the Hall element integrated circuit (44) detects change of a magnetic field by the permanent magnet (16), whereby the pressing operation of the pushbutton (12) is detected. When the pushing operation is canceled, the pushbutton (12) is returned to the original state due to attractive force of the permanent magnet (16) and a magnetic body (18).
