Abstract
Disclosed herein is a transmission apparatus, including: a control section configured to control the timing at which actual data from a data source is to be transmitted to a reception apparatus; and a transmission section configured to produce a control signal representative of the contents of the control of the control section, transmit the control signal to the reception apparatus through a first signal line, receive the actual data from the data source under the control of the control section and transmit the received actual data to the reception apparatus through a second signal line.
Claims22
A transmission apparatus, comprising:
- control means for controlling the timing at which actual data from a data source is to be transmitted to a reception apparatus;
- and
- transmission means for producing a control signal representative of the contents of the control of said control means, transmitting the control signal to the reception apparatus through a first signal line, receiving the actual data from the data source under the control of said control means and transmitting the received actual data to the reception apparatus through a second signal line.
A transmission method for being carried out by a transmission apparatus, comprising the steps of:
- carrying out transmission timing control of controlling the transmission timing of actual data from a data source to a reception apparatus;
- and
- producing a control signal representative of the contents of the transmission timing control of the actual data, transmitting the control signal to the reception apparatus through a first signal line, receiving the actual data from the data source under the transmission timing control of the actual data and transmitting the received actual data to the reception apparatus through a second signal line.
A program for causing a computer to execute a control process which comprises the steps of:
- carrying out transmission timing control of controlling the transmission timing of actual data from a data source to a reception apparatus;
- and
- producing a control signal representative of the contents of the transmission timing control of the actual data, transmitting the control signal to the reception apparatus through a first signal line, receiving the actual data from the data source under the transmission timing control of the actual data and transmitting the received actual data to the reception apparatus through a second signal line.
A reception apparatus, comprising:
- reception control means for receiving, when a control signal representative of contents of control regarding transmission timing of actual data is transmitted from a transmission apparatus, which transmits the actual data from a data source, through a first signal line and the actual data is transmitted from the transmission apparatus through a second signal line, the control signal and carrying out control of receiving the actual data based on the control signal.
A reception method for being carried out by a reception apparatus which receives actual data from a transmission apparatus, the reception method comprising the step of:
- receiving, when a control signal representative of contents of control regarding transmission timing of actual data is transmitted from the transmission apparatus, which transmits the actual data from a data source, through a first signal line and the actual data is transmitted from the transmission apparatus through a second signal line, the control signal and carrying out control of receiving the actual data based on the control signal.
A program for causing a computer, which controls reception of actual data from a transmission apparatus, to execute a control process which comprises the step of:
- receiving, when a control signal representative of contents of control regarding transmission timing of actual data is transmitted from the transmission apparatus, which transmits the actual data from a data source, through a first signal line and the actual data is transmitted from the transmission apparatus through a second signal line, the control signal and carrying out control of receiving the actual data based on the control signal.
A transmission and reception system, comprising:
- a transmission apparatus including
- control means for controlling the timing at which actual data from a data source is to be transmitted to a reception apparatus, and
- transmission means for producing a control signal representative of the contents of the control of said control means, transmitting the control signal to the reception apparatus through a first signal line, receiving the actual data from the data source under the control of said control means and transmitting the received actual data to the reception apparatus through a second signal line;
- and
- a reception apparatus including
- reception control means for receiving the control signal and carrying out control of receiving the actual data based on the control signal.
A transmission and reception method, comprising the steps of:
- carried out by a transmission apparatus, carrying out control of the timing at which actual data from a data source is to be transmitted to a reception apparatus;
- carried out by the transmission apparatus, producing a control signal representative of the contents of the control and transmitting the control signal to the reception apparatus through a first signal line;
- carried out by the transmission apparatus, receiving the actual data from the data source under the control and transmitting the received actual data to the reception apparatus through a second signal line;
- and
- carried out by the reception apparatus, receiving the control signal and carrying out control of receiving the actual data based on the control signal.
A transmission apparatus, comprising:
- a control section configured to control the timing at which actual data from a data source is to be transmitted to a reception apparatus;
- and
- a transmission section configured to produce a control signal representative of the contents of the control of said control section, transmit the control signal to the reception apparatus through a first signal line, receive the actual data from the data source under the control of said control section and transmit the received actual data to the reception apparatus through a second signal line.
A reception apparatus, comprising:
- a reception control section configured to receive, when a control signal representative of contents of control regarding transmission timing of actual data is transmitted from a transmission apparatus, which transmits the actual data from a data source, through a first signal line and the actual data is transmitted from the transmission apparatus through a second signal line, the control signal and carry out control of receiving the actual data based on the control signal.
