Patent number: 9161097Abstract: A wireless transmission system is provided that can minimize the control command transmission amount by operating a plurality of sink devices in conjunction with each other with respect to each group. The wireless transmission system includes: a bridge device (1) which wireless-transmits an AV content; and a plurality of wireless sink devices (5, 6) which reproduce the wireless-transmitted AV content. The bridge device (1) has a group identification table which stores a group identifier for identifying a group formed by the wireless sink device (5, 6). The bridge device (1) adds a group identifier extracted from the group identification table to a control command for controlling the sink devices (5, 6) and wireless-transmits the control command having the group identifier. The wireless sink devices (5, 6) receive a control command wireless-transmitted from the bridge device (1) if a corresponding group identifier is added to the control command.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2014Date of Patent: October 13, 2015Assignee: SHARP KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Yohichi Eguchi, Keisuke Tsuji, Ryosuke Ohmae, Masayuki Etoh, Seiji Imanishi, Shinichi Katoh, Takuya Kinoshita

Patent number: 6085264Abstract: An accounting-process-type setting program is executed and thereby an accounting-record outputting condition is set. Then, when execution of an execution unit is finished, an accounting-record outputting program is executed, and thereby, it is determined whether or not the accounting-record outputting condition set by the execution of the accounting-process-type setting program is fulfilled, and, only when this condition is fulfilled, an accounting record is output.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 1997Date of Patent: July 4, 2000Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventor: Shinichi Katoh

Patent number: 5793631Abstract: A voice route-guidance system for vehicles which terminates its route-guidance when the vehicle arrives at the destination and even if the present position of the vehicle is measured with low accuracy. An approach judging unit judges that the vehicle approaches a point spaced apart from a destination by a predetermined distance. A guidance termination judging unit further judges whether or not there is a point in which the route-guidance should be carried out between the present vehicle position and the destination. From these judgments, the system judges that the vehicle approaches the point spaced apart from the destination by the predetermined distance and also that all the route-guidance has been terminated. Thus, a termination unit terminates the route-guidance.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 1995Date of Patent: August 11, 1998Assignee: Aisin AW Co., Ltd.Inventors: Toru Ito, Hiroshi Kishi, Atsushi Watanabe, Mitsuhiro Nimura, Akimasa Nanba, Toyoji Hiyokawa, Shigekazu Ohara, Kazuteru Maekawa, Shinichi Katoh
