View page
US Patent:
8436946, May 7, 2013
Filed:
Jan 12, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/352522
Inventors:
Tonni Sandager Larsen - Escondido CA, US
Yuko Suzuki - Tokyo, JP
Norifumi Takaya - San Diego CA, US
William Schupp - San Diego CA, US

Sony Electronics Inc. - Park Ridge NJ
International Classification:
H04N 5/50
US Classification:
348732, 348731
Abstract:
A method of scanning television channels at initial setup. The method includes at a first power mode, automatically scanning for channels using a first scanning setup procedure during which the television is unusable by a user. The first power mode is when the television is at a full power mode. The detected channels are automatically provided for use by the television upon completion of the first scanning setup procedure. The method further includes automatically scanning for channels using a second scanning setup procedure at a second power mode following the first power mode. The second power mode is at a lower power mode than the first power mode, and the second scanning setup procedure is more time consuming in comparison to the first scanning setup procedure. Additional channels not detected during the initial setup by the first scanning setup procedure are automatically detected at the second power mode.

US Patent:
8448205, May 21, 2013
Filed:
Mar 9, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/400643

System And Method For Providing Improved Channel Mapping

View page
US Patent:
20100235859, Sep 16, 2010
Filed:
Mar 13, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/404192
Inventors:
Norifumi TAKAYA - San Diego CA, US
Xuan Zhang - San Diego CA, US
Assignee:
SONY CORPORATION - Tokyo
SONY ELECTRONICS INC. - Park Ridge NJ
International Classification:
H04N 5/445
US Classification:
725 38
Abstract:
Improved channel mapping is provided wherein both virtual channel information associated with the currently-tuned channel, as well as physical channel information associated with this same channel is added to a television system's channel map. User inconvenience associated with errors in the virtual channel information may be mitigated since the television system's channel map will contain, not only the standard virtual channel information provided by broadcast stations in their broadcast signals, but also the corresponding physical channel information for the broadcast station in question. In other embodiments, multiple channel maps may be maintained and be user-selectable.
