Wireless receiving apparatus, wireless communication system, and method of supporting antenna installation
First Claim
1. A wireless receiving apparatus comprising:
- a receiving-apparatus antenna for receiving signals transmitted from a first apparatus and a second apparatus via an antenna of each of the first apparatus and the second apparatus;
a detection unit configured to detect information indicating a relative position between a first antenna of the first apparatus and a second antenna of the second apparatus with respect to a position of said receiving-apparatus antenna;
a communication status obtainment unit configured to obtain, from the first apparatus or the second apparatus, communication status information indicating whether or not it is possible to transmit a video signal or an audio signal from one of the first apparatus and the second apparatus to the other; and
a change information generation unit configured to generate, when the communication status information obtained by said communication status obtainment unit indicates that the transmission is not possible, change information based on the information detected by said detection unit and output the change information, the change information indicating a change direction for an orientation of the first antenna such that a communication range is closer to the second antenna, and the communication range being a range covered by the transmission of the video signal or the audio signal from the first antenna.

Abstract
A television (10) includes: a WiHD-RX (11) which receives signals transmitted from a camcorder (20) and a BD system (30); an orientation detection unit (102) which detects information indicating a relative position between a WiHD-TX (21) and a WiHD-RXTX (31); a communication status obtainment unit (104a) which obtains communication status information indicating whether or not it is possible to transmit a video signal or an audio signal from one of the camcorder (20) and the BD system (30) to the other; and a change information generation unit (104b) which generates, based on a detection result of by the orientation detection unit (102), and outputs change information when the communication status information indicates that the transmission is not possible. The change information indicates a direction for moving a communication range of the video signal or the audio signal from the WiHD-TX (21) closer to the WiHD-RXTX (31).

10. A method of supporting antenna installation, said method being performed by a wireless receiving apparatus,
the wireless receiving apparatus including a receiving-apparatus antenna for receiving signals transmitted from a first apparatus and a second apparatus via an antenna of each of the first apparatus and the second apparatus, said method comprising: -
detecting information indicating a relative position between a first antenna of the first apparatus and a second antenna of the second apparatus with respect to a position of the receiving-apparatus antenna; obtaining, from the first apparatus or the second apparatus, communication status information indicating whether or not it is possible to transmit a video signal or an audio signal from one of the first apparatus and the second apparatus to the other; and generating, when the communication status information obtained in said obtaining indicates that the transmission is not possible, change information based on the information detected by said detecting, and outputting the change information, the change information indicating a change direction for an orientation of the first antenna such that a communication range is closer to the second antenna, and the communication range being a range covered by the transmission of the video signal or the audio signal from the first antenna.
