摘要:
A unified system of programming communication. The system encompasses the prior art (television, radio, broadcast hardcopy, computer communications, etc.) and new user specific mass media. Within the unified system, parallel processing computer systems, each having an input (e.g., 77) controlling a plurality of computers (e.g., 205), generate and output user information at receiver stations. Under broadcast control, local computers (73, 205), combine user information selectively into prior art communications to exhibit personalized mass media programming at video monitors (202), speakers (263), printers (221), etc. At intermediate transmission stations (e.g., cable television stations), signals in network broadcasts and from local inputs (74, 77, 97, 98) cause control processors (71) and computers (73) to selectively automate connection and operation of receivers (53), recorder/players (76), computers (73), generators (82), strippers (81), etc. At receiver stations, signals in received transmissions and from local inputs (225, 218, 22) cause control processors (200) and computers (205) to automate connection and operation of converters (201), tuners (215), decryptors (224), recorder/players (217), computers (205), furnaces (206), etc. Processors (71, 200) meter and monitor availability and usage of programming. A method is described for providing a subscriber specific solution or recommend a subscriber specific action in at least one of a visual and an audible form at a receiver station. A remote data source stores digital data and receives a transmission originated from the receiver station. The subscriber specific solution or subscriber specific action is based on a subscriber specific analysis, and is dependent on transmitting the digital data from the remote data source to the receiver station.

The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for signal transmission. The systems and methods may receive a composite multimedia signal, wherein the composite multimedia signal may be encoded in a frame format including an active zone and a blanking zone. The composite multimedia signal may be associated with a plurality of multimedia signals acquired by a plurality of acquisition devices. The systems and methods may insert one or more control signals in a predetermined section of the blanking zone. The systems and method may further transmit the one or more control signals to one or more target acquisition devices of the plurality of acquisition devices via a transmission medium.

摘要:
A circuit for demodulating an input signal is described. The circuit may be configured to demodulate signals modulated with amplitude-based modulation schemes, such as amplitude shift keying (ASK). The demodulator may comprise a clock extractor configured to generate a clock signal in response to receiving an amplitude-modulated input signal, a phase shifter configured to generate a sampling signal by phase-shifting the clock signal by approximately π/2, and a sampler configured to sample the input signal in correspondence to one or more edges (such as one or more falling edges) of the sampling signal. In this way, the amplitude-modulated input signal may be sampled at its peak, or at least near its peak, thus ensuring high signal fidelity.

In response to a video and audio bandwidth allocation request command signal and an audio bandwidth allocation request command signal from a source device, a coordinator device allocates a first reservation period for transmitting AV stream data from the source device to a sink device and a second reservation period for transmitting audio stream data from the source device to a sink device within a predetermined frame period, and transmits a beacon signal including information on allocation of the first reservation period and the second reservation period.
摘要:
Digital audio data which have a predetermined packet structure are divided into units including a predetermined number of bits; each unit of the divided digital audio data is converted into specific data to be encoded; the encoded data are arranged in blanking intervals of video data; the digital audio data are transmitted as well as the video data using a transmission line for the video data, and the video data and the audio data may be simultaneously and favorably transmitted, adopting an existing video-data transmission format such as the DVI standard.
