Time of day (ToD) registers provide respective virtual ToDs corresponding to the occurrence of edges of input clock signals being supplied to an integrated circuit. The integrated circuit generates a heartbeat clock signal having a frequency higher than a SYNC signal and time stamps the heartbeat clock signal to generate heartbeat time stamps. The heartbeat time stamps are used along with the time stamps of the input clock signals to determine the time of day corresponding to occurrences of edges of the input clock signals.

The present invention simplifies a process related to content reproduction. This control method includes causing a computation circuit to: transmit, to each of first and second reproduction devices, a request for requesting transmission of the time being counted; receive the time of day of a first internal clock from the first reproduction device that has responded to the request and derive a first difference that is the difference in the time of day between the first internal clock and a third internal clock; receive the time of day of a second internal clock from the second reproduction device that has responded to the request and derive a second difference that is the difference in the time of day between the second internal clock and the third internal clock; transmit, to the first reproduction device, a first control signal for reproducing first content at a first reproduction start time; and transmit, to the second reproduction device, a second control signal for reproducing second content at a second reproduction start time.

We provide the system. [Solution] A system that includes a means for calculating the time of day with the highest probability of success for delivery based on past delivery completion data, a means for linking information such as GPS data, traffic information, travel speed, and weather, and a means for proposing the optimal logistics route plan based on this information.

Methods to move Time of the Day (TOD) across asynchronous clock domains with no loss in accuracy include receiving time-of-day (TOD) words that are synchronized to a first clock, estimating a phase difference between the first clock and a second clock, sampling the TOD words based on the second clock to provide re-synchronized TOD words that are synchronized to the second clock, when the phase difference meets a timing margin, discarding the TOD words when the phase difference does not meet the timing margin, and interpolating the re-synchronized TOD words to fill gaps in the re-synchronized TOD words that correspond to the discarded TOD words. The methods may further include adjusting values of the re-synchronized TOD words based on magnitudes of the corresponding phase differences.

The system according to this embodiment aims to optimally switch the amount of power generated and the advertising effect according to the weather and time of day. [Solution] The system according to the embodiment comprises a collection unit, an analysis unit, and a control unit. The collection unit collects weather and date / time data. The analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the collection unit and determines the amount of power generated and the advertising effect. The control unit switches between power generation and advertising display based on the results determined by the analysis unit.
