Abstract:
In the transmitter side, data are divided into two or more groups, according to importance. In a three groups system, for example, the data streams are then mapped onto a multiresolution constellation (QAM or modified PSK) in the following way. The most important data determine the quadrant, the next most important determine which of four subsets is used in the quadrant, and the least important determine which point is used within that subset. This mapping system allows receivers of differing capabilities to detect as much data as they are able, or a single receiver to detect as much data as the channel quality allows. For example, a QPSK receiver could detect the most important data, a modified 16QAM receiver could detect the most important and second most important data, while a modified 64QAM receiver could receive all the data. Furthermore, in an OFDM system, multiresolution transmission is provided by using long guard times and/or wider channel spacing (equivalently, longer symbols) for the more important data. A system using n-level VSB is also described.

Abstract:
A display device (100) according to the present disclosure includes: a backlight control unit (180) configured to divide the luminescence surface of the backlight (190) into a plurality of areas, and, based on the image signal, (i) perform luminescence control in each of the plurality of areas and (ii) set off periods starting at different times for the plurality of areas. The backlight control unit (180) performs luminescence control in a visible light communication area which is at least one area among the plurality of areas in a period in which the visible light communication signal is output, based on the visible light communication signal, instead of performing luminescence control based on the image signal, and performs the luminescence control based on the image signal, in the visible light communication area, in a period in which the visible light communication signal is not output.

A mobile communication device (98b) includes: an appliance information obtainment unit (98n) that obtains appliance information (98n1) by proximity wireless communication (98c1) with an appliance (98a) installed in a home (99), the appliance information specifying the appliance (98a); a position information obtainment unit (98j) that obtains position information (98j1) of the mobile communication device when the proximity wireless communication (98c1) is performed; and a transmission unit (98o) that transmits transmission information (98o1) to a server (98c) in the case where the proximity wireless communication (98c1) is performed, the transmission information including the appliance information (98n1) and the position information (98j1).
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide compatibility with a conventional system reproducing a normal-resolution video, in an optical disk with high-resolution video signals recorded thereon and a system for reproducing the high-resolution video signals.SOLUTION: A high-resolution video signal is divided into a main signal and an auxiliary signal by video separation means. A first interleave block 54 and a second interleave block 55, in which respective streams subjected to MPEG coding are divided into frame groups of 1GOP or more, are recorded alternately on an optical disk 1. A reproduction device corresponding to high-resolution obtains a high resolution video by reproducing both the first and second interleave blocks. On the other hand, a reproduction device which does not correspond to high-image-quality obtains a normal-resolution video by reproducing only one of the first and second interleave blocks.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the difficulty in retrieving data recorded on a changeable medium such as an optical disk, and to provide an optical disk allowing data recorded on the optical disk to be retrieved by a simple operation.SOLUTION: A transmitting/receiving antenna 231 is provided along the inner circumference of an optical disk. An IC module 201 connected to a transmitting/receiving IC 230 having ID information is formed and embedded in an optical disk substrate. Attachment of the radio transmitting/receiving IC having the ID information to the disk enables each disk to be managed by the ID. Thus, the IC-module-embedded optical disk excellent in mass productivity is obtained.
