摘要:
A content transmission device receives broadcast data composed of a plurality of contents from another broadcasting station, converts the broadcast data to own-station broadcast data, and transmits the converted broadcast data. The content transmission device stores a plurality processing models, each having corresponding identity information, composition information indicating content scheduled for inclusion in the broadcast data, normal-case processing information, and irregular-case processing information. The content transmission device acquires identity information from an external device that manages the broadcasting schedule for the broadcast data, and selects the corresponding processing model. The content transmission device detects received broadcast data portions different from those indicated by the composition information in the selected processing model. Based on the result of the detection and the selected processing model, the content transmission device performs normal-case processing on non-differing portions of the scheduled composition and irregular-case processing on differing portions. Having thus processed the broadcast data, the content transmission device transmits the converted data as an own-station broadcast.

The program-for-cache determining unit 107 counts the number of contents (a corresponding contents number) that are to use reproduction programs, for each reproduction program transmitted over each channel during the current service period and onward up to the last service period shown in the broadcast information, and determines a reproduction program that has the highest corresponding contents number, as the one to be cached. The program-for-cache determining unit 107 also determines the service period and channel during and over which the determined reproduction program is to be cached. The cache unit 108 instructs the demultiplexing/decoding unit 104 to demultiplex and decode the reproduction program corresponding to the determined channel and store it in the reproduction program storage unit 109.

A data broadcast apparatus repeatedly broadcasts data using a carousel method, to a reception apparatus which stores the data into a memory and reproduces the data stored in the memory. A storing unit stores first data and second data. A detecting unit detects an event which prohibits the reception apparatus from reproducing the first data. A broadcasting unit repeatedly broadcasts the first and second data stored in the storing unit, and stops broadcasting the first data when the detecting unit detects the event. An instructing unit has the broadcasting unit broadcast a switch instruction, which instructs the reception apparatus to stop reproducing the first data and start reproducing the second data when the broadcast of the first data is stopped.

A data transfer apparatus receives from an upper station a data stream that includes a plurality of types of repeat data, each type of repeat data being repeatedly transmitted by the upper station, and transfers the repeat data to a lower station, the data transfer apparatus including a storage unit having a storage area; an extraction unit for extracting the types of repeat data from the received data stream; a writing unit for writing the extracted repeat data to the storage area; a data structure ratio determination unit for determining a ratio between the types of repeat data to be output in a data stream per fixed length of time; and a data output unit for reading the repeat data stored in the storage unit, and outputting the read repeat data at the determined ratio.

摘要:
A receiving unit (101) of a print data generating apparatus (100), which enables a printing that reflects user's preferences even in a digital broadcasting environment, receives and modulates digital broadcast waves. A video/data separating unit (102) separates a signal received from the receiving unit (101) into a video packet, an audio packet and a data packet that includes print information. A print information storing unit (104) is a RAM for storing print information, or the like, and reads the print information from the data packet received from the video/data separating unit (102), and stores it. A print information converting unit (108) reads the print information stored in the print information storing unit (104) and image data stored in an image storing unit (106), updates the print information by inserting, into the print information, image information representing the image data, based on the read-out print information and image data, and transmits the updated print information to a print information notifying unit (109). The print information notifying unit (109) transmits the received print information to a printing apparatus (120).
摘要:
A data stream selection/output apparatus that selects and outputs a data stream composed of sequentially obtained data. The data stream selection/output apparatus obtains timing information indicating a time at which a first data stream being output should be switched to a second data stream. The data stream selection/output apparatus, in a time period including the time indicated by the timing information, scans the first and second data streams to detect a first boundary between data blocks of the first data stream and a second boundary between data blocks of the second data stream, where the data blocks conform to a transmission protocol higher than Transport Layer of OSI Reference Model. The data stream selection/output apparatus then stops outputting the first data stream at the first block boundary and starts outputting the second data stream at the second block boundary.

A digital broadcasting apparatus includes: a bitrate storage unit for holding a bitrate set for each source data item and a total bitrate available for transmitting source data items; a transmission period storage unit for holding transmission time period of each source data item; a source data reading unit for reading each source data item to be transmitted from a source data storage unit; a rate control unit for calculating a transmission bitrate of each source data item that should be simultaneously transmitted according to predetermined equations; and a data multiplexing unit for multiplexing each source data item read by the source data reading unit into a transport stream at the transmission bitrate calculated by the rate control unit.

A program configuration management apparatus restores the configuration of programs in the receiving apparatus to an original state if programs downloaded for version-up contain bugs. The program configuration management apparatus includes a program download unit for downloading programs via communication channels, a program management unit for storing the downloaded programs as well as previous versions of the downloaded programs into an object storing unit, and a history information management unit for storing history information concerning the downloaded programs into a history information storing unit. On receiving a previous version reinstallation designation for a specific program from a broadcast center, the program management unit validates a previous version of the specific program stored in the object storing unit by referring to the history information storing unit via the history information management unit.
