Title: Module evaluation method and system
Inventor: TAKADA MASATOSHI
IPC: G06Q50/00
Filed: 2007-02-09
Abstract: A module evaluation method and system which can quickly determine overall effectiveness of the modular construction method in an automatic manner, taking into account the transportation cost and so on. A module evaluation unit prepares constructed-equipment physical quantity data from constructed-equipment layout data, and determines an in-module unit-rate reduction effect resulted from executing construction work of the constructed equipment in the module in a factory where working efficiency is higher than a field.  The module evaluation unit also determines a module transportation cost effect, a module temporary construction cost effect, and a density reduction effect that is resulted from a reduction of density in a space not occupied by a module with application of modularization and efficiency of installation work is increased. The module evaluation unit further determines a field physical-quantity reduction effect resulted from a reduction of physical quantity in the field and from a reduction of various overhead costs with application of the modularization. The determination results are displayed on a display.

Abstract: L'invention concerne la gestion du contenu vidéo d'une télévision haute définition et/ou un procédé et un appareil de protection de copie que l'on réalise en modifiant un ou plusieurs canaux d'un signal de TVHD (télévision haute définition). Ces modifications se situent dans les intervalles de suppression mais peuvent s'étendre dans les parties de surbalayage. Dans une version, la modification du signal définit des étiquettes ou déclenche des bits pour un système de commande de contenu. Cette modification peut suivre par exemple les impulsions de synchronisation à trois niveaux de TVHD, et elle peut survenir dans au moins un canal vidéo TVHD. Dans une autre version, des parties de l'impulsion de synchronisation à trois niveaux sont modifiées afin d'amener un circuit de détection de référence, par exemple un système AGC (dans un dispositif de réception tel qu'un enregistreur vidéo) à produire une sortie erronée. Eventuellement, on peut ajouter ou introduire un signal à la suite des impulsions de synchronisation à trois niveaux modifiées. Dans une autre version encore, des pseudo impulsions de synchronisation à trois niveaux sont ajoutées dans des intervalles de suppression ou de surbalayage. Ces pseudo impulsions peuvent être asymétriques et suivies d'un signal. De plus, on peut moduler toute modification, tout signal ou tout signal de synchronisation (par exemple en amplitude, en position, en largeur d'impulsion) ci-dessus. L'invention concerne enfin des procédés et appareil de mise en échec permettant de réduire les effets ou de modifier les résultats des processus de modification.
