Patent number: 7181414Abstract: An ETC (electronic toll collection) system includes an antenna having a predetermined directivity for providing a limited radio-communication service zone. A vehicle sensor operates for detecting a vehicle which reaches a predetermined position in the limited radio-communication service zone. A radio signal is transmitted via the antenna. A decision is made as to whether or not a radio response to the radio signal is received via the antenna. In cases where a radio response to the radio signal is received, it is judged that there is an ETC vehicle incoming. In cases where the vehicle sensor detects a vehicle while a radio response to the radio signal is not received, it is judged that there is a non-ETC vehicle incoming.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 1999Date of Patent: February 20, 2007Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Takao Ogawa, Kazuhiro Morisaki, Koji Nishikigi, Shigeki Kaneko, Shinichiro Kawasaki, Hirokazu Wada, Kenji Yaegashi, Seiji Fuyama

Patent number: 6507950Abstract: In a program information broadcasting system, it is aimed to minimize time for retrieval of program by viewers in operating an electronic program guide or time for waiting when applying for subscription. As a program information broadcasting system, program elements constituting a broadcasting program are divided into a plurality of items and are turned to data at a center, and a master data 21 of a program information to recognize the program is prepared. From the data constituting the master data, minimal necessary items for preparation of a program table are extracted, and a program basic information 22 is prepared. Said master data and said program basic information are transmitted simultaneously with the broadcasting, and said program basic information is received, reproduced and displayed before receiving of the master data at a receiving terminal unit 31 is completed.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 1997Date of Patent: January 14, 2003Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Ryota Tsukidate, Kenichi Fujita, Shigeki Kaneko, Yoshiyasu Takeuchi

Patent number: 6505347Abstract: A control information generating apparatus is provided which is used in broadcast systems designed to transmit audio and video signals and/or teletext signals together with video control information and program information in multiplexed form. The control information generating apparatus transmits EPG (Electronic Program Guide) information (i.e., control information) for transmission of the audio and video signals and includes a control information generating circuit and a control information outputting circuit. The control information generating circuit receives program schedule information on a program from a broadcast database to generate and output control information. The control information outputting circuit receives and output the control information to a multiplexer in which the control information and a data signal from an audio/video data transmitter are multiplexed and transmitted on a carrier wave.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 1998Date of Patent: January 7, 2003Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Shigeki Kaneko, Yoshiyasu Takeuchi, Takeshi Nagao, Hiroyoshi Ishibashi, Masaaki Yoshikawa, Ryota Tsukidate, Toru Kawaguchi, Aki Nakagawa, Tsutomu Shigesawa

Patent number: 6414720Abstract: A digital broadcasting system capable of causing any of physical channels selected by a broadcaster to be received as one of the channels available to users which is different from the physical channel selected by the broadcaster. For each of programs of each of the channels available to said users, a program information record comprising PSI (program specific information) is stored in a data base. The broadcaster is permitted to include, in the PSI, channel mapping information whose mapping destination is a channel (or a program) to be received instead of the channel for which said program information is intended. The program information records is inserted in broadcast transport streams on schedule and, if necessary, immediately after the broadcaster have included the channel mapping information in the PSI data.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2000Date of Patent: July 2, 2002Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Ryota Tsukidate, Kenichi Fujita, Shigeki Kaneko, Yoshiyasu Takeuchi

Patent number: 6262721Abstract: Viewer individual attribute information indicating an attribute of a particular viewer such as an age, male or female, a resident district, a taste, an occupation and a life style is stored in a receiving terminal apparatus of the particular viewer. When a broadcasting program is transmitted from a service supply apparatus to the receiving terminal apparatus, service addition information indicating an attribute of the broadcasting program or an attribute condition required of viewers is transmitted to the receiving terminal apparatus with contents of the broadcasting program. In the receiving terminal apparatus, the service addition information is collated with the viewer individual attribute information of the particular viewer, and it is judged whether or not the broadcasting program is suitable for the particular viewer. In cases where the broadcasting program is suitable for the particular viewer, the broadcasting program is received by the receiving terminal apparatus and is reproduced and displayed.Type: GrantFiled: July 3, 1997Date of Patent: July 17, 2001Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Ryota Tsukidate, Yoshiyasu Takeuchi, Kazuhiro Machida, Takenosuke Harada, Shigeki Kaneko, Kenichi Fujita, Yoshimasa Goto

Patent number: 5131743Abstract: An optical pulse of a fixed width is applied to an optical fiber, back scattering light from the optical fiber is converted to an electric signal, which is converted to a digital signal by sampling with a fixed period. In a difference calculating section an average of digital signals at a first sample point and at W sample points preceding the first sample point is used as data at the first sample point, and an average of digital signals at a second sample point and at W sample points following the second sample point, which is after the first sample point by a number of sample points corresponding to the width of the optical pulse, is used as data at the second sample point. The difference between the data at the first sample point and the data at the second sample point is calculated for each of a series of sample points to obtain difference waveform data. Changing points of the difference waveform data are detected and a spliced point of the optical fiber is decided, based on the detected changing points.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 1991Date of Patent: July 21, 1992Assignee: Advantest CorporationInventors: Shigeki Kaneko, Takao Sakurai
