Abstract: A registration server (40) is connected to a mobile terminal (20) via a communication network (10) and registers desired scene information specifying a desired scene of a user in a broadcast program together with the communication address information (telephone number or mail address or the like) of the mobile terminal (20). A scene management server (42) classifies and manages the scene information on the real scene appearing in the broadcast program. A message transmission server (46) checks whether the real scene corresponds to the desired scene. If it does, the scene management server (42) transmits scene information indicating that broadcast of the desired scene is or has been started via the communication network (10) or the data broadcast to the user, i.e., the mobile terminal (20). In response to the notification of the scene information, the user of the mobile terminal (20) can view the scene substantially in real time by the TV On instruction without performing channel setting.

Abstract: An active noise attenuating device applied to a draft duct of an air condition system including a microphone disposed in a propagation path of noise for detecting the noise, a loud speaker disposed in the noise propagation path, a control circuit for producing a control signal on the basis of the detection signal from the microphone, the control signal being supplied to the loud speaker so that the speaker produces an interference sound having the same amplitude as of the noise detected by the microphone and a phase opposite to the noise, at a control point in the noise propagation path, and a high pass filter for damping or cutting off a frequency component contained in the control signal and belonging to a low frequency range in which the loud speaker is unable to reproduce the interference sound.

Abstract: An active noise attenuating device includes a first microphone located in a propagation path of noise, a loud speaker located downstream from the first microphone, a second microphone located downstream from the loud speaker for receiving sound, and an operational unit for executing an operation on the basis of a detection signal from the first microphone to generate a control signal supplied to the loud speaker so that a sound interfering with the noise is produced. An operational factor of the operational unit is controlled by an adaptive controller on the basis of the detection signal from the second microphone so that an amount of noise attenuated by the sound produced from the loud speaker is rendered maximum. A transfer characteristic of a transfer path between the loud speaker and the second microphone is identified on the basis of the detection signals generated by the second microphone when a sound represented by a periodical identifying signal is produced in a plurality of periods.
