Abstract: A plurality of servers each transmit data of an initial screen to be displayed on a display screen of radio equipment at a predetermined time interval. The radio equipment is in a reception waiting mode until it is connected to any one of the servers, and is performing channel scanning. Once the data of the initial screen transmitted from any one of the servers is received by the radio equipment, the radio equipment displays the initial screen on the display screen based on the received data. When an operation of a connection instruction is performed on the initial screen, the radio equipment is connected to the server corresponding to the initial screen.

Abstract: A chrominance signal can be separated from a composite color television signal without misdetection in correlation detection even when the chrominance signal level is small by calculating vertical correlation values, comparing them with the threshold value corresponding to the chrominance signal level and judging if there is correlation or not. A chrominance signal separating apparatus includes a cascade connection of delay devices, where each delay device delays an input signal by 1H period. Comb filters separate a luminance signal and a chrominance signal from the composite color television signal by inputting two signals from the input and the output of each delay device which have a 1H period time difference. The output of one of the delay devices is regarded as a reference signal. A correlation detecting circuit calculates correlation values between the reference signal and a signal at the vertical vicinity of the reference signal on the screen.
