Abstract: When a user gives a parameter storage instruction via a remote controller, current settings of parameters in an input switching circuit, surround circuit, graphic equalizer and electronic volume are stored into a non-volatile RAM. Then, once the user gives a reproduction instruction via the remote controller, the stored settings of the parameters are read out from the non-volatile RAM and set to the input switching circuit, surround circuit, graphic equalizer and electronic volume. Once the user selects a desired one of customizing buttons that are provided on the remote controller belonging to an audio apparatus connected with a personal computer and selects functions to be allocated to the selected customizing button, the personal computer creates setting information in accordance with the user's selections, and transmits the thus-created setting information to the audio apparatus. In turn, the audio apparatus stores the allocated functions of the customizing button on the basis of the setting information.

Abstract: This invention provides the framework of a security system that is property specific as well as area specific. The invention includes a distributed software controlled security system that monitors and assesses the status of individual property items and conventional area security devices within a secured area. The activation of an alarm and the action taken in response to the alarm are determined by the state of the secured area, the state of the individual property item, and rules associated with each state or combination of states. Depending upon the capabilities of the individual property items, or appliances, and the area security devices, the security capabilities of this invention are distributed amongst a variety of appliances. In a preferred embodiment, the communication of messages and signals among the components of the system is in accordance with existing or proposed standards, such as HAVi and Home API, thereby allowing interoperability among components of varying vendors.
