SINK DEVICE, SOURCE DEVICE, AND CONTROL METHODS FOR SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18079110 titled 'SINK DEVICE, SOURCE DEVICE, AND CONTROL METHODS FOR SAME
Simplified Explanation
Abstract: The abstract describes a sink device that includes a connector and a processor. The connector has a first ground (GND) corresponding to a first standard. The processor receives a signal from a source device through the connector. If the received signal is of a second standard that includes the first GND, the processor requests information about the signal from the source device.
Patent/Innovation Explanation:
- The sink device has a connector with a first ground (GND) corresponding to a first standard.
- A processor is included in the sink device to receive signals from a source device through the connector.
- If the received signal is of a second standard that includes the first GND, the processor requests information about the signal from the source device.
Potential Applications:
- This technology can be used in various electronic devices that require compatibility between different signal standards.
- It can be implemented in audio/video devices, computer peripherals, or any other device that needs to receive signals from different sources.
Problems Solved:
- The technology solves the problem of compatibility between different signal standards by allowing the sink device to request information about the signal from the source device.
- It ensures that the sink device can properly handle signals of different standards without any loss or distortion.
Benefits of this Technology:
- The technology allows for seamless integration of devices with different signal standards.
- It simplifies the process of connecting and using devices from different manufacturers with varying signal standards.
- It ensures that signals are properly received and processed, resulting in improved performance and user experience.
Original Abstract Submitted
A sink device comprising a connector which has a first ground (GND) corresponding to a first standard; and a processor which receives a signal from a source device, via the connector, and if the received signal is of a second standard corresponding to a second GND that includes the first GND, requests, from the source device, information about the signal of the second standard.
