Abstract

A data reproducing system of the invention includes a data transmitter for transmitting a data signal containing audio data by air and a data receiver for receiving the data signal by air from the data transmitter. The data receiver includes a data receiving section for receiving a data signal by air, a receiving ROM for storing specific apparatus-specific ID in advance, data extraction member for extracting the apparatus-specific ID contained in the data signal received by air, data determination member for determining whether the extracted apparatus-specific ID is in a predetermined relationship with the apparatus-specific ID stored in the receiving ROM, and reproducing member for extracting audio data from the data signal received by air and regenerating the audio data on a decoding section once the predetermined relationship is determined.

Claims

1. A data reproducing apparatus comprising:

a receiving member for receiving a data signal by air from a separate apparatus;

a data storage member for storing specific identification data in advance;

a data extraction member for extracting identification data contained in the data signal received by air by said receiving member;

a data determination member for determining whether the identification data extracted by said data extraction member is in a predetermined relationship with the identification data stored in said data storage member; and

a reproducing member for extracting audio data from the data signal received by air by said receiving member and regenerating the extracted audio data based upon the predetermined relationship being determined by said data determination member such that continuity of said extracted audio data being reproduced is maintained.

2. The data reproducing apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising:

a switching member for performing a switching operation when said separate apparatus is placed in a predetermined location, wherein

said receiving member starts said receiving operation in accordance with the switching operation of said switching member.

3. The data reproducing apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising:

a member for detecting an approach of said separate apparatus;

wherein

said data reproducing apparatus provides regenerated output of the audio data when the approach of said separate apparatus is detected and the identification data is in said predetermined relationship.

4. The data reproducing apparatus according to claim 3, wherein the approach of said separate apparatus is detected based on a receiving state of the data signal.

5. The data reproducing apparatus according to claim 3, wherein the approach of said separate apparatus is detected based on detection of said separate apparatus being placed in a predetermined location.

6. A data reproducing system comprising:

a data transmitter for transmitting a data signal containing audio data by air; and

a data receiver for receiving the data signal by air from said data transmitter, wherein said data receiver comprises;

a receiving member for receiving a data signal by air from said data transmitter;

a data storage member for storing specific identification data in advance;

a data extraction member for extracting identification data contained in the data signal received by air by said receiving member;

a data determination member for determining whether the identification data extracted by said data extraction member is in a predetermined relationship with the identification data stored in said data storage member; and

a reproducing member for extracting audio data from the data signal received by air by said receiving member and regenerating the extracted audio data based upon the predetermined relationship being determined by said data determination member such that continuity of said extracted audio data being reproduced is maintained.

7. The data reproducing system according to claim 6, wherein said data receiver further comprises:

a switching member for performing switching operation in case said data transmitter is placed in a predetermined location; and

said receiving member starts a receiving operation in accordance with the switching operation of said switching member.

8. The data reproducing apparatus according to claim 6, further comprising:

a member for detecting an approach of said data transmitter,

wherein said data reproducing system provides regenerated output of the audio data when the approach of said data transmitter is detected and the identification data is in said predetermined relationship.

9. The data reproducing apparatus according to claim 6, wherein an approach of said data transmitter is detected based on a receiving state of the data signal.

10. A data reproducing apparatus comprising:

receiving means for receiving a data signal by air from a separate transmitting means;

data storage means for storing specific identification data in advance;

data extraction means for extracting identification data contained in the data signal received by air by said receiving means;

data determination means for determining whether the identification data extracted by said data extraction means is in a predetermined relationship with the identification data stored in said data storage means; and

reproducing means for extracting audio data from the data signal received by air by said receiving means and regenerating the extracted audio data based upon the predetermined relationship being determined by said data determination member such that continuity of said extracted audio data being reproduced is maintained.

11. The data reproducing apparatus according to claim 10, further comprising:

switching means for performing a switching operation when said separate transmitting apparatus is placed in a predetermined location, wherein

said receiving means starts said receiving operation in accordance with the switching operation of said switching means.

12. The data reproducing apparatus according to claim 10, further comprising:

means for detecting an approach of said separate transmitting means, wherein said data reproducing apparatus provides regenerated output of the audio data when the approach of said separate transmitting means is detected and the identification data is in said predetermined relationship.

13. The data reproducing apparatus according to claim 12, wherein the approach of said separate transmitting means is detected based on a receiving state of the data signal.

14. The data reproducing apparatus according to claim 12, wherein the approach of said separate transmitting means is detected based on detection of said separate transmitting apparatus being placed in a predetermined location.

15. The data reproducing apparatus according to claim 10, further comprising:

switching means for performing switching operation when said separate transmitting means is placed in a predetermined location, and

wherein said receiving means starts a receiving operation in accordance with the switching operation of said switching means.

16. The data reproducing apparatus according to claim 15, wherein said switching means comprises:

first switching means for controlling power when said separate transmitting means is placed in said predetermined location; and

second switching means for controlling said power when said separate transmitting means is placed in said predetermined location.

17. The data reproducing apparatus according to claim 16, wherein said second switching means controls said power based on said data determination means determining whether the identification data extracted by said data extraction means is in a predetermined relationship with the identification data stored in said data storage means.

18. The data reproducing apparatus according to claim 16, wherein said first switching means controls said power based on said receiving means continuing to receive a data signal.

19. The data reproducing apparatus according to claim 10, further comprising:

means for detecting an approach of said separate transmitting means,

wherein said data reproducing apparatus provides regenerated output of the audio data when the approach of said separate transmitting means is detected and the identification data is in said predetermined relationship.

20. The data reproducing apparatus according to claim 10, wherein an approach of said separate transmitting means is detected based on a receiving state of the data signal.
