    Abstract: A communications system comprises items of equipment connected via a bus capable of transferring combinations of control signals and AV signals as packets while providing an environment which is the same as an environment where connections are made using analog signal lines. A register decided by an address is taken to be a virtual plug for each item of equipment. A plug enable for an input plug is set to 1 and a synchronous communication packet for the AV signal from the channel set by the channel number is received. A plug enable for an output plug is set to one and the synchronous communication packet for the information signal is sent to the channel set by the channel number at a transmission speed designated by the DR (Data Rate) at the bandwidth expressed by "Bandwidth".

    Abstract: Data to be transmitted via a serial bus (5) in conformity with the IEEE 1394 protocol are ciphered by a ciphering/deciphering circuit (24), and headers are attached thereto by a header sync detecting/generating circuit (23). After further attachment of a CRC code by a CRC detector/generator (33), the data are packetized into isochronous packets of an isochronous mode by a transmission/reception switching circuit (21), whereby transmission of the data can be performed with enhanced security. Out of the cipher keys employed, a session key invariable in each session of the data is transmitted in each packet of an asynchronous mode, and a time variable key updated in each session is transmitted in each packet of an isochronous mode. The ciphered data obtained by depacketizing the packets of the isochronous mode are deciphered, so that the data transmitted with security can be deciphered exactly, and thus illegal use of the data can be prevented.

    Abstract: To satisfactorily control electronic equipment on the controlled side by electronic equipment on the controlling side without useless processing. The VTR 11 and the camcorder 12 are provided with memory means for storing icon information and functional information. A computer 13 sends a command requesting icon information and functional information to the VTR 11 and the camcorder 12 and obtains their information as a response. The computer 13 displays icons showing the VTR 11 and the camcorder 12 on a display 13a based upon the icon information. The computer 13 displays a control panel displaying functions with which the VTR 11 and the camcorder 12 are provided in the format of a button and others on the display 13a based upon the functional information. The computer 13 is not required to inquire of the VTR 11 and the camcorder 12 whether the functions displayed on the panel correspond to the functions of them or not and a user can operate any function of the VTR 11 and the camcorder 12 on the panel.

    Abstract: A recorded data securing mechanism secures data recorded on a recording medium cassette provided with a memory and a data recording enable/disable tab at a predetermined position on the cassette. Breaking the recording enable/disable tab provided on the memory-based recording medium cassette prevents data recorded on the cassette from being written over and ensures that there will be no mismatch between the recording information stored in the memory of the cassette and the data recorded on the recording medium of the cassette. In one embodiment, rewriting is enabled but a memory mismatch flag is set if rewriting results in a mismatch.

    Abstract: A network system wherein any device in all networks can be represented using addresses set in the individual networks without relying upon the concept of a network number is disclosed. A first network (1) includes first to third devices (A, B, C) to which the addresses of "1", "2" and "3" are allocated, respectively. A second network (2) includes first to devices (D, E, F) to which the addresses of "1", "2" and "3" are allocated, respectively. A third network (3) includes first and second devices (G and H) to which the addresses "1" and "2" are allocated, respectively. The first and second networks (1, 2) are connected to each other by way of a gateway (GW1) and the second and third networks (2 and 3) are connected to each other by way of another gateway (GW2) to build up a network system. A pass from within a network to another device in another network is represented using the addresses set in the individual networks. For example, the pass from the first device (A) in the first network (1) to the second device (H) in the third network (3) is represented as "4.4.2".
