According to one embodiment, the apparatus has a first block configured to be connected to a receiving block for a television signal and a second block independent from the first block, configured to be connected to a network. A bypass route is configured to lead a bypass stream including an image signal from the first block to the second block. A processor is configured to generate a return stream by inserting the image signal from the network into the image signal on the bypass stream, at the second block. A return pass is configured to return the return stream to the first block. And a converter is configured to convert the image signal included in the return stream into a signal for output and display, at the first block.

Television apparatus

According to one embodiment, an information transmitting apparatus includes a receiver, a management module, a transmitter, and an update module. The receiver is configured to receive a first content item in which a first viewable time is set. The management module is configured to manage the first content item and a remaining viewable time. The transmitter is configured to transmit a second content item and information of second viewable time to a device to which a duplicate is to be made, the second content item being a duplicate of the first content item and the information of the second viewable time defining a period of time during which the second content item can be viewed in the device. The update module is configured to update the remaining viewable time managed by the management module to a period of time obtained by subtracting the second viewable time.

Information transmitting apparatus

According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus includes a wireless communication device, an information acquisition module, a file management information generation module, and an access control module. The information acquisition module acquires, by wireless communication with an external device, metadata corresponding to content data which the external device can provide. The file management information generation module generates, based on the acquired metadata, file management information based on which a host apparatus recognizes the content data as a file stored in a storage medium in the electronic apparatus. The access control module is configured to, upon receiving a read request for a file corresponding to the content data, which is transmitted from the host apparatus, execute external device access processing of acquiring the content data from the external device using the wireless communication device, and output the acquired content data to the host apparatus.

Electronic apparatus and content data providing method

According to one embodiment, a portable electronic apparatus includes a housing having a first surface, an antenna provided in the housing, and a close proximity wireless transfer device provided in the housing and configured to execute, via the first surface, close proximity wireless transfer with an external device which is present within a predetermined wireless communication-capable distance from the antenna. The antenna is provided on an inner side in the first surface, with a space greater than the wireless communication-capable distance being provided from an outer peripheral edge of the first surface.

Portable electronic apparatus and communication control method

According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus is detachably connected to a host apparatus. The electronic apparatus includes a file management information generation module. The file management information generation module generates file management information based on which a host apparatus recognizes each of content data items as a file stored in a storage medium, the file management information being indicative of a plurality of starting storage locations on the storage medium corresponding to starting data blocks of the content data items, and a plurality of shared storage locations on the storage medium, which are shared by the content data items and correspond to second and following data blocks of each of the content data items.

This invention provides an on-vehicle electronic apparatus, which has a wireless communication unit which makes a wireless communication via a wireless LAN, means for acquiring position information and velocity information of vehicles before and after the self vehicle using the wireless communication unit, means for calculating the inter-vehicle distances between the self vehicle, and the vehicles before and after the self vehicle with reference to map information on the basis of the acquired position information and velocity information, and means for, when the calculated inter-vehicle distances are equal to or smaller than a predetermined distance and the velocities of the self vehicle and the vehicles before and after the self vehicle are equal to or higher than a predetermined velocity, taking a collision avoidance measure.

On-vehicle electronic apparatus

An image forming method includes the reception step of receiving image information including control information representing one of single-side printing and double-side printing for each page, and the image formation step of determining for each page in accordance with the control information whether the image information requires one of single-side printing and double-side printing, and forming the image information of the page on an image forming medium. Single-side/double-side printing control information at the header enables printing images in single-side and double-side printing modes.
