20100027710 | INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE AND BIDIRECTIONAL TRANSMISSION METHOD - In a provided information processing device, a first information processing module, within its transmission time segment, transmits an encoded signal in which mutually distinct first and second bit values are respectively expressed by pluralities of mutually distinct first amplitude values and second amplitude values, the same amplitude value not occurring consecutively and the amplitude value polarity being inverted with each cycle. Within a transmission time segment for a second information processing module, the first information processing module transmits a clock signal that corresponds to the cycle at which the polarity is inverted. The second information processing module extracts the clock signal by detecting the polarity inversions in the encoded signal, decodes the first and second bit values from the encoded signal using the clock signal, generates a transmission signal by controlling the amplitude values of the clock signal, and transmits the transmission signal in synchronization with the clock signal. | 02-04-2010 |
20100069039 | STORAGE MEDIUM, COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, AND CONTROL DEVICE - Various services relating to cellular phones are integrally provided on a SIM card at the initiative of carriers. A wireless communication function via a reflected-wave transmission system is mounted to a SIM card to allow access to a control interface of a SIM card from an external control device via a wireless communication.
