3. An arrangement as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the current supply leads (2) take the form of cables.
4. An arrangement including a plasma display screen (3), having cells for the generation of pixels between a transparent front plate (10) facing the viewer and a rear wall (11) and having electronic circuits (4, 6, 7) arranged on the outer side of the rear wall (11) remote from the cells, for driving X electrodes (6), Y electrodes (7) and the rows (4), which circuits are mounted directly on the surface of the outer side of the rear wall (11) of the plasma display screen (3) remote from the cells and including common buffer capacitors (1) for the electronic circuits for driving X electrodes (6) and Y electrodes (7).
5. An arrangement as claimed in claim 1 or 4, characterized in that this arrangement is a television set or monitor.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
What is claimed is:
1. In a transmitting and receiving system including
the transmission side which, of an information transmitting function and an information receiving function, has at least the former,
the reception side which, of the information transmitting function and receiving function, has at least the latter, and
at least a display function of displaying the information transmitted from said transmission side to the reception side,
an information reproducing method comprising:
the step of causing said transmission side to transmit transmission time information together with the information to be transmitted, and
the step of, when displaying said received information at a later time shifted from the time when the information was received,
causing said reception side to manage at least the length of the time shift time making use of said transmission time information received in a temporally shifted manner and judge whether said received information is displayed in a time-shifted manner.
2. The information reproducing method according to claim 1, further comprising the step of giving a warning in sound or in pictures making use of said display function, when the length of said time shift time is shorter than the length of the time set on said reception side.
3. The information reproducing method according to claim 1, further comprising the step of calculating charges according to the length of said time shift time.
4. An information providing business method comprising:
the step of, when transferring at least display information, causing the transmission side to transfer information about the delivery time when the information was delivered, together with said display information; and
the step of causing the reception side to receive said delivery time information and using the delivery time information as an element for calculating at least charges.
5. The information providing business method according to claim 4, further comprising the step of, when said reception side has the function of displaying said display information received from said transmission side, at a later time shifted from the time when the display information was received, causing said reception side to use said delivery information as an element for calculating the length of time shift time.
6. An information reproducing method of receiving the encrypted content sent from the transmission side and information about the transmission time of the encrypted content and reproducing them, said information reproducing method comprising:
step A of decrypting said encrypted content;
step B of outputting the decrypted content on a display section;
step C of, when a temporary interrupt instruction is given, stopping said decryption and display and causing a temporary storage section to store said encrypted content and transmission time information received;
step D of measuring the length of time since said temporary storage section started to store said encrypted content and said transmission time information;
step E of, when said temporary interrupt instruction is canceled, determining the length of the time difference between newly received transmission time information and the oldest transmission information stored in said temporary storage section;
step F of determining the difference between the length of time measured at said step D and the length of the time difference determined at said step E and judging whether the difference is within a specific value;
step G of, when said difference determined at said step F is within the specific value, decrypting the encrypted content stored in said temporary storage section; and
step H of, when said difference determined at said step F has exceeded the specific value, outputting a warning signal.
7. The information reproducing method according to claim 6, wherein said step G includes step G1 of calculating charging information according to said difference.
8. The information reproducing method according to claim 6, wherein said step G includes step G1 of calculating charging information according to said specific value.
9. The information reproducing method according to claim 7 or 8, further comprising step I of transmitting said charging information to said transmission side.
10. The information reproducing method according to claim 7 or 8, wherein said step G1 includes step G2 of subtracting the value of said charging information from the value of the balance information read from a user-owned card to find the remainder and writing information about the new balance into said user-owned card.
11. The information reproducing method according to claim 6, further comprising step I of inputting said specific value to a maximum time shift time setting section.
12. The information reproducing method according to claim 11, wherein said step I is to input said specific value to said maximum time shift time setting section in response to the user’s operation.
13. The information reproducing method according to claim 11, wherein said step I is to input said specific value sent from said transmission side to said maximum time shift time setting section.
14. An information providing business method of causing said reception said to receive said charging information obtained and transmitted in the information reproducing method according to claim 7 or 8.
15. An information providing business method of transmitting said encrypted content and said transmission time information related to claim 6 to said reception side.
16. An information providing business method of transmitting said specific value related to claim 11.
