摘要:
This invention relates to a process for ordering a selection in advance, characterized in that it includes a step in which a menu is displayed followed by a selection in this menu, to make specific requests and particularly: a step displaying the event for which the advance order of a selection is made, and then selection of the event; a step displaying the identity of destination equipment on which the selection is to be played, and then selection of this equipment; a step displaying the date and time at which the selection is to be made on the destination equipment; a step in which particular requests are recorded and downloaded onto a file only after payment has been verified.

A data-encoding system includes a source of unencoded data, and a first encoder interoperably coupled to the source, wherein the first encoder is adapted to receive the unencoded data, encode the unencoded data, and output encoded data at a first data rate. The data encoding system further includes a second encoder interoperably coupled to the source, wherein the second encoder is adapted to receive the unencoded data, encode the unencoded data, and output encoded data at a second data rate in which the second data rate exceeds the first data rate. This Abstract is provided to comply with rules requiring an Abstract that allows a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain subject matter of the technical disclosure. This Abstract is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.
摘要:
A mechanism is provided for automatically controlling the operation of a media device based at least in part upon whether a portable presentation device coupled to the media device is currently being worn by a user. A portable presentation device may be any device that is meant to be worn by a user and that is capable of presenting media content to the user (e.g. earphones, headphones, goggles or faceplates with video/audio capability, etc.). With this mechanism, a user can affect the operation of the media device by simply putting on or taking off the portable presentation device. The user does not need to manually manipulate the controls of the media device. By automatically controlling the operation of the media device in this manner, use of the media device and the portable presentation device as a unit is made much simpler and more convenient.

A music selection system and method in a vehicle is provided. The system includes a vehicle traveling information collection unit configured to collect vehicle traveling information, a vehicle exterior environment information collection unit configured to collect vehicle exterior environment information, a vehicle interior environment information collection unit configured to collect vehicle parameter values to enable songs selected by a driver to be matched with the vehicle parameter values and stored in corresponding classification categories, thereby allowing other songs in the same category to be selected and played when the selected song is played.

The invention provides a reproducing device or recording/reproducing device having an off-timer function with improved operability, power saving, versatility and degree of freedom for the user or a video display device incorporating such a reproducing device or recording/reproducing device. During an off-timer function operation, when reproduction of contents is detected (step 201), a contents reproducing time is calculated from TOC information (step 203, step 204), and when this contents reproducing time is shorter than a timer remaining time X of the off-timer, the timer time is regarded as a contents reproducing time (step 206, step 207), and in this way, when reproduction of contents is finished earlier than a predetermined timer time, power is turned off at the end of reproduction of contents and when the set timer time is longer than the contents reproducing time, the power is turned off at the end of the timer time.

Disclosed is a foot switch apparatus which is connected to a tape recorder, the tape recorder having a mode control circuit which designates its operation mode. The foot switch has an automatic back spacing circuit coupled to the mode control circuit. When the foot switch operates, a recording tape on the tape recorder is rewound by a predetermined length in response to an operation of the automatic back spacing circuit.

A portable, programmable, microprocessor-controlled, universal field test unit is provided which is capable of performing functional tests on most, if not all, of the better known present-day disc drives, including the 80, 160 and 300 megabyte types. The unit to be described will be termed herein as a programmable disc drive qualifier, and it is capable of carrying out a wide variety of special test programs, as well as standard diagnostic programs, and it may also be used to format disc packs with many different formats, including thirty-two and eighty-six sector formats. The qualifier may be internally set to count all data errors, or only uncorrectable errors. The qualifier, in the embodiment to be described, is controlled by a combination of twelve operation keys and twelve numeric keys. A complete instruction is generated by the actuation of one of the operation keys and one of the numeric keys. Individual instructions may be executed in the unit, or it may be run automatically under program control. Programs may be created by the actuation of the operation keys and numeric keys, or they may originate from a pre-programmed memory.

An automatic selector unit for repetitively actuating an automatic phonograph to play randomly selected records includes a first timer for measuring the elapsed time since a previous play and a continuously running second timer for generating periodic pulses. The unit actuates the scanning mechanism of the phonograph after a predetermined elapsed time to bring different records successively into position for play and thereafter actuates the player mechanism on the next pulse from the second timer to play the record then in position for play.

A transducer signal pickup assembly is positioned over a desired portion of video encoded disc medium by apparatus arranged to selectively engage different portions of a first rotating belt to effect movement of the pickup assembly toward or away from the center of the disc. Further positioning of the transducer assembly in a tracking mode for facilitating playback of the signal encoded disc is provided by engaging a second rotating belt.

A musical instrument configured to generate a scratching sound effect includes a rotatable platform configured to support a record thereon, and a pedal (such as, for example, a foot pedal) operably coupled to the platform. The foot pedal is actuatable from a first position to a second position to rotate the platform, and in turn, the record.
