Abstract
To achieve communication, an AV data reception apparatus transmits an ID with which it permits itself to be identified to an AV data transmission apparatus. On receiving this ID, the AV data transmission apparatus identifies, based on the ID, the functions compatible with the AV data reception apparatus, and changes the functions of its own communication operation blocks according to those identified functions.
Claims39
A data transmission apparatus comprising:
- a data generator that generates data transmitted to a data reception apparatus;
- a data analyzer that analyzes data received from the data reception apparatus;
- a transmitter/receiver that transmits and receives data to and from the data reception apparatus;
- and
- an individual compatibility information storage in which is stored a first function identification table with reference to which data communication functions used to perform data communication with the data reception apparatus are identified respectively for individual items of specific data with which the data reception apparatus permits itself to be identified,
- wherein, when the specific data is fed through the data transmitter/receiver to the data analyzer, with reference to the first function identification table in the individual compatibility information storage, the data communication functions recognized from the specific data are identified and are brought into effect so that the data transmission apparatus is brought into a state communicable with the data reception apparatus that has transmitted the specific data thereto.
