Abstract
A sink device includes a connector including a first ground (GND) corresponding to a first standard of high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI), and a processor configured to receive a signal from a source device through the connector while the connector is connected to the source device, based on the received signal being of a second standard of HDMI corresponding to a second GND, which is a reinforced form of the first GND, request a correction for the received signal of the second standard to the source device, receive a signal that has been corrected from the an external source device, and provide a content corresponding to the received signal that has been corrected.
Claims18
A sink device comprising:
- a connector including a first ground (GND) corresponding to a first standard of high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI);
- and
- a processor configured to:
- receive a signal from a source device through the connector while the connector is connected to the source device,
- based on the received signal being of a second standard of HDMI corresponding to a second GND, which is a reinforced form of the first GND, request a correction for the received signal of the second standard to the source device,
- receive a signal that has been corrected from an external source device;
- and
- provide a content corresponding to the received signal that has been corrected.
A source device comprising:
- a communication interface connectable to a connector including a first GND corresponding to a first standard of high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI);
- and
- a processor configured to:
- control the communication interface while the communication interface is connected to the connector to transmit a signal of a second standard of HDMI corresponding to a second GND which is a reinforced form of the first GND, and
- based on receiving a correction request for the signal of the second standard through the communication interface, correct the signal of the second standard based on the correction request, and
- control the communication interface to transmit the signal that has been corrected to a sink device which includes the connector.
A control method for a sink device, the method comprising:
- receiving a signal from a source device through a connector including a first ground (GND) corresponding to a first standard of high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI) while the connector is connected to the source device;
- based on the received signal being of a second standard of HDMI corresponding to a second GND, which is a reinforced form of the first GND, requesting a correction for the received signal of the second standard to the source device;
- receiving a signal that has been corrected from an external source device;
- and
- providing a content corresponding to the received signal that has been corrected.
