DATA RECEIVER, DATA TRANSMITTER AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC H04L29/06 G06F3/14 G09G5/00 

FIELD: physics, computer engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to interfaces for input and output of digital video and sound, e.g. HDMI (high definition multimedia interface), DVI (digital visual interface). Proposed is a data receiver for receiving content transmitted from a source carrying the transmission process. The receiver includes: a memory unit which stores device information, a control module for changing the setting of the state of the connected socket in which the source can be detected as a process of notifying the source on whether data contained in the memory element can be obtained. The control module can set the state of the connected connector as a setting denoting stay in a state in which data contained in the memory element can be obtained in the selected state when the source is selected as a content input device, and control is carried out to support the setting which represents that the state of the connected connector is a state in which data contained in the memory element can be obtained when the source changes its state to the unselected state from the selected state in which the source was selected as a content input device.

EFFECT: possibility of a transmitter receiving device information from the memory of a receiver, independent of the selected state specified by the receiver.
