Abstract
Abstract In one way address transmission system of a PCM music broadcasting, a plurality of the PCM signals are time divisionally multiplexed and then the multiplexed data is scrambled for transmission. An address code in the transmitted scrambled data is arranged so that only the contracted receiver can descramble the address code.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
144 words
A one-way address transmission system of PCM music broadcasting comprising: a broadcasting station for transmitting a PCM broadcasting signal of a sequence of frames, each frame including station identification data, scrambled music data and scrambled address flag data in PCM; and a receiver comprising: (a) means for verifying the station identification data in the received broadcasting signal as a station code which represents a reproduction admissible station to the receiver to generate a station verification signal; (b) means for descrambling the scrambled address flag data in the received broadcasting signal; (c) means for verifying the descrambled address flag data as an address code which represents reproduction admissible receivers to the station to generate a receiver verification signal; and (d) means in response to both of the station verification signal and the receiver verification signal for descrambling the scrambled music data to reproduce a music.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
144 words
A one-way address transmission system of PCM music broadcasting comprising: a broadcasting station for transmitting a PCM broadcasting signal of a sequence of frames, each frame including station identification data, scrambled music data and scrambled address flag data in PCM; and a receiver comprising: (a) means for verifying the station identification data in the received broadcasting signal as a station code which represents a reproduction admissible station to the receiver to generate a station verification signal; (b) means for descrambling the scrambled address flag data in the received broadcasting signal; (c) means for verifying the descrambled address flag data as an address code which represents reproduction admissible receivers to the station to generate a receiver verification signal; and (d) means in response to both of the station verification signal and the receiver verification signal for descrambling the scrambled music data to reproduce a music.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
71 words
The one-way address transmission system according to claim 1, wherein said address flag data in a predetermined number of successive frames in the broadcasting signal constitutes a full address flag and the frame containing the first position flag data in the full address flag includes an address flag start information data, and said receiver verifies the full address by referring to the detection timing of the address flag start information data.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
136 words
One-way address transmission system of PCM music broadcasting comprising: a broadcasting system for transmitting a PCM broadcasting signal of a sequence of frames, each frame including a pair of scrambled music data and address flag data; and a receiver for verifying the address flag data in the received broadcasting signal as an address code which represents reproduction admissible receivers to the station and for descrambling the music data to reproduce a music when the verification is made; wherein said address flag data in a predetermined number of successive frames constitute a full address flag and the frame containing the first position flag data in the full address flag includes an address flag start information data, and said receiver verifies the received flag data by referring to the detection timing of the address flag start information data.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
136 words
One-way address transmission system of PCM music broadcasting comprising: a broadcasting system for transmitting a PCM broadcasting signal of a sequence of frames, each frame including a pair of scrambled music data and address flag data; and a receiver for verifying the address flag data in the received broadcasting signal as an address code which represents reproduction admissible receivers to the station and for descrambling the music data to reproduce a music when the verification is made; wherein said address flag data in a predetermined number of successive frames constitute a full address flag and the frame containing the first position flag data in the full address flag includes an address flag start information data, and said receiver verifies the received flag data by referring to the detection timing of the address flag start information data.
