    Abstract: When a tuner (2) receives EPG service information and EPG program information transmitted together with broadcasting data, a making unit (12) in the tuner (2) makes an EPG service list about receivable channels from the EPG service information by using a descriptor conforming to a general-purpose format, such as the AV/C protocol. A changing unit (13) in the tuner (2) converts the EPG program information into an EPG event list by using a descriptor conforming to a general-purpose format, such as the AV/C protocol. Therefore, the EPG service list and EPG event list can be read from any device under the control according to the protocols of the general-purpose formats used, and the EPG data can be easily handled by any other device other than the tuner.

    Abstract translation: 当调谐器(2)接收到与广播数据一起发送的EPG服务信息和EPG节目信息时,调谐器(2)中的制作单元(12)通过使用描述符符合EPG服务信息来制作关于可接收频道的EPG服务列表 到通用格式,如AV / C协议。 调谐器(2)中的改变单元(13)通过使用符合通用格式的描述符(诸如AV / C协议)将EPG节目信息转换成EPG事件列表。 因此,EPG服务列表和EPG事件列表可以根据所使用的通用格式的协议在任何设备下进行读取,EPG数据可以容易地由调谐器以外的其他设备处理。

    Abstract: It is possible to easily and quickly deal with a failure of a specific device in a system where devices are connected using a bus having a digital interface. An electronic device comprises means (12, 23) adaptive to a predetermined digital interface where a predetermined identification code, a code for detecting an object to be processed, a code for specifying the class of processing, and information for conducting a processing and used for recognizing the identification code, means (14, 22) for detecting the object when the identification code is recognized, processing means (16 to 19, 24, 25) for executing the information for carrying out the processing according to the processing class if the object includes the electronic device, whereby the device that has failed can be specifically detected and repaired easily.

    Abstract: An equipment unit having an interactive user interface is controlled by means of a simple apparatus. Data reproduced by a DVD player (400) is decoded. The decoded data is converted into a signal format such as DVC SD or MPEG2-TS along with information about such as a menu. The converted information is transmitted to a simple display device (500) through the 1394 digital interface. When a predetermined item in the menu displayed on the screen of the simple display device (500) is selected by operating a remote commander (300), a corresponding panel command such as "CURSOR UP" or "EXEC" is transmitted to the DVD player (400). The selected item is recognized by the DVD player (400) and necessary processing is executed.

    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: A digital interface microcomputer (DIFcon 7) sends/receives an Audio Video/Control-Command Transaction Set (AV/C-CTS) between it and other equipment connected by way of an IEEE-1394 serial bus (not illustrated). DIFcon (7) also provides both way conversion between AV/C-CTS and Local Application Control Bus System (LANC) signals. A mode control microcomputer (Modecon, 8) sends/receives LANC signals between it and the digital interface microcomputer (DIFcon, 7). A mechanism control microcomputer (Mechacon 9) controls a mechanism (e.g. a Video Tape Recorder) in accordance with commands sent from the mode control microcomputer 8. Further, mechacon (9) informs the mode control microcomputer 8 of the status of the mechanism. To enable the use by other companies of every application developed originally by using IEEE-1394, vendor unique, commands the DIFcon (7) when accepting a target key code calculates an application key code based on a cipher function and a target key code therefor. Then, it sends an opening command for the application attached to the application key code. The target, when accepting the opening command, decodes the target key code in the command. Then if the decoded target key code matches a target key code generated by the DIFcon 7, it allows execution of the command.
