Communication is performed without paying attention to the fact that the communication is executed between multimedia terminals having communication procedures differing from each other. A terminalstarts a communication procedure that is necessary to establish a communication path to a communication service unit, in order to execute communication with a multimedia terminal; when a communication protocol conversion unitreceives communication start request from the terminal, the communication service unit executes identification process of a calling terminal based on the identification number, which exists in communication start request, for determining the multimedia terminal, and inquires a terminal information managing unitof the calling terminal. The terminal information managing unitretrieves terminal information related to the calling terminal based on a terminal information request, and informs of the retrieved terminal information to the communication protocol conversion unit. The communication protocol conversion unitinforms of the communication start request to the terminalwhen the transmitting the terminal information of the terminalis obtained, and continues a relay process in communication procedure, which is necessary for following establishment of a communication path.

The object of this invention is to realize the correct and prompt synchronization of data in decoding and reproducing multiplexed coded data multiplexed with a plurality of media coded data in the unit of packet without regard to the configuration or characteristics of the apparatus. To achieve a data decoder that can synchronize the video and audio data correctly, the timing controller obtains a buffering time indicated by the time difference between the decoding end time and the specified presentation time contained in the data, and data buffering is performed by buffer memory. The video decoding end time is latched from the system time counter according to a timing pulse generated by the video decoder when the first decoded data is output from video decoder after the data decoder is activated.

The smoke detecting section includes a planar base and a surrounding wall extending downwardly from a lower surface of the base and having an opening or openings which allows or allow smoke to enter therethrough. The surrounding wall defines a smoke detecting space therein. A light emitting element and a photodetector element which are disposed at positions where they are not opposite each other and optical axes thereof intersect each other at a predetermined angle and said photodetector element can receive light from the light emitting element scattered by smoke entering the smoke detecting space. The printed circuit board is attached on an upper surface of the base. A shield layer is interposed between said printed circuit board and said base. Electric and/or electronic parts are formed in chips and packaged on an upper surface of the printed circuit board. A shield case is disposed so that it covers the electric and/or electronic parts.

A light emitting unit and a photo sensing unit are separately arranged to face with each other, and a pulse light is emitted from the light emitting unit at every constant period, and the photo sensing unit receives the pulse light attenuated by a smoke, thereby detecting a fire. When a power source is turned on, a microcomputer in the photo sensing unit stores the first photo sensing data as an initial photo sensing data in a memory. The initial photo sensing data is fixedly stored and held and is not erased due to a temporary cut off of the power source. The photo sensing data is converted to correction photo sensing data using a correction ratio to perform the fouling correction and the fire is discriminated on the basis of the correction photo sensing data. The correction ratio is corrected when the correction period reaches 50 minutes. A correction amount of a single correction ratio is suppressed to a microvalue. In correction of the correction ratio, it is increased or decreased by only a microvalue at every correction period until the photo sensing data coincides with the initial photo sensing data.

The light receiving section has a monitor terminal for outputting a monitor signal corresponding to the photo-output level. When a measuring apparatus is externally connected to the monitor terminal, the supervision period is shortened as compared with the normal supervision period, so as to enable the monitor signal to be supervised substantially in real time, thereby facilitating an adjusting operation.

When a transmitter receives an abnormal detection signal from a leaked gas alarm or the like, the transmitter starts the transmitting operation and repeatedly transmits the detection information together with the address information by a radio wave for a constant transmitting operation time interval. A receiver is of the intermittent reception type whereby the receiving operation is performed at every constant idle time, thereby preventing a consumption of a power source of a battery. When the transmitting radio wave is received at a timing of the intermittent reception, the receiving operation is continued and an alarm signal is generated on the basis of the last information which is transmitted due to the single transmitting operation, thereby allowing an alarm representing the leakage of gas to be generated and closing a gas shut-off valve, or the like.

A photoelectric smoke sensor wherein a photo diode having a junction capacitance of 100 pH or less is employed and a resistor having a high resistance value of the order of mega-ohms is connected in series with the photo diode to obtain a photo output through the resistor, so that the voltage of the photo output may be sufficient to be directly subjected to comparison by the comparator without high-gain amplification even if the driving current for a light emitting diode is reduced. This enables omission of a high-gain amplifier and accordingly enables omission of a shield case for the circuits of the sensor which has been required to eliminate noises. Further this photoelectric smoke sensor is arranged so that the light emitting diode is driven intermittently, the photo output is compared with a reference voltage in synchronism with the driving of the light emitting diode, and the output from the comparator is data-read in by flip-flops at the timing of the decay of the photo pulse, to reduce the current consumption and simplify the circuit formation.
