Wireless transmission system, relay device, wireless sink device, and wireless source device

A wireless transmission system comprising:

• a content transmitting apparatus that wirelessly transmits AV contents including video and/or audio;
• and a plurality of sink devices that receive the wirelessly transmitted AV contents, at least one of the plurality of the sink devices being made up of a wireless sink device, wherein
• the content transmitting apparatus includes a group identification ID table that stores group identification ID for identifying a group made up of the plurality of the sink devices, a group identification ID adding portion that adds group identification ID extracted from the group identification ID table to a control command controlling the plurality of the sink devices, and a wireless transmitting portion that wirelessly transmits the control command with the group identification ID added, and
• the wireless sink device receives a control command wirelessly transmitted from the content transmitting apparatus if its own group identification ID is added to the control command,
• any one of the wireless sink devices belonging to the same group is defined as a representative wireless sink device, and the representative wireless sink device wirelessly communicates with the content transmitting apparatus or a representative wireless sink device of another group on behalf of the group to which the representative wireless sink device belongs,
• if a control command is broadcast-transmitted from the content transmitting apparatus, the representative wireless sink device receives the control command, integrates a plurality of responses of other sink devices within the group to which the representative wireless sink device belongs into one response based on a predetermined rule, and returns the integrated response to the content transmitting apparatus, and
• if the control command is an inquiry about numerical numbers, the predetermined rule is to return the maximum number of the numbers of sink devices connected to the representative wireless sink device as the integrated response.
