Patent number: 7076793Abstract: A program guide information producing apparatus outputs self-produced program guide information and other broadcaster's program guide information. In the program guide information producing apparatus, a common program guide information producing section generates self-produced common program guide information. Furthermore, a program guide information output section unites the self-produced common program guide information with other broadcaster's common program guide information received from a program guide information collecting/transmitting apparatus and outputs the united common program guide information. Thus, the self-produced common program guide information is surely output even when the program guide information collecting/transmitting apparatus or the like is in trouble.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2000Date of Patent: July 11, 2006Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Toru Nakada, Takeshi Nagao, Kenichi Fujita, Yoshiyasu Takeuchi

Publication number: 20040062241Abstract: The present invention provides an SI information delivery apparatus that can deliver TS packets by one repeater even in cases where there are plural TSes. For this purpose, it has a repeater that provides a parity part of a transmission TS packet of SI information for all TSes with TS-ID and information indicating whether the information is for local TS or for remote TS, and delivers the TS packet, and a filter that extracts TS packet information to be delivered in a pertinent TS on the basis of the above-described information at a preceding stage of MUX for each TS and delivers the TS packet information to MUX. With this configuration, the SI information delivery apparatus can handle SI information of plural TSes by one repeater.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 1, 2003Publication date: April 1, 2004Inventors: Yoshiyasu Takeuchi, Toru Nakanishi, Masaaki Yoshikawa

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: 6271893Abstract: A digital television transmitter transmits a transport stream (hereinafter referred to as “TS”) comprising content data for a plurality of channels to receivers. In the transmitter, program information is periodically inserted in the TS; and an expected time of program alteration is included in said TS. A television receiver comprises a first portion always supplied with an electric power, a second portion which, if supplied with a second electric power, becomes capable of collecting program information included in said TS in corporation with said first portion, and a third portion which. if supplied with a third electric power, becomes capable of displaying said program. At an expected time of program alteration previously received, the second power is supplied to the second portion to collect program information, which is preferably stored in nonvolatile memory.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 1998Date of Patent: August 7, 2001Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Toru Kawaguchi, Ryota Tsukidate, Yoshiyasu Takeuchi
