Abstract

A transmission device includes a converter and a transmitter. The converter converts a plurality of link symbols in DisplayPort (DP) into a data block in Gen 2 in Universal Serial Bus (USB). The transmitter transmits the data block.

Claims (27)

1. A transmission device comprising:

circuitry configured to

convert a plurality of link symbols containing a control symbol to which no ANSI 8b/10b special code is allocated in DisplayPort (DP) into a data block in Gen 2 in Universal Serial Bus (USB); and

transmit the data block to a reception device configured to convert the data block to the plurality of link symbols.

2. The transmission device according to claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is configured to:

scramble the data block; and

transmit the scrambled data block to the reception device.

3. A DisplayPort (DP) source device comprising:

circuitry configured to

map stream data to a plurality of link symbols containing a control symbol to which no ANSI 8b/10b special code is allocated in DisplayPort (DP);

convert the plurality of link symbols into a data block in Gen 2 in Universal Serial Bus (USB); and

transmit the data block to a DisplayPort (DP) sink device configured to convert the data block to the plurality of link symbols.

4. A reception device comprising:

circuitry configured to

receive, from a transmission device, a data block obtained as a data block in Gen 2 in Universal Serial Bus (USB) by conversion, by the transmission device, from a plurality of link symbols containing a control symbol to which no ANSI 8b/10b special code is allocated in DisplayPort (DP); and

convert the received data block into the plurality of link symbols.

5. The reception device according to claim 4 , wherein the circuitry is configured to:

de-scramble the received data block; and

convert the de-scrambled received data block into the plurality of link symbols.

6. A DisplayPort (DP) sink device comprising:

circuitry configured to

receive, from a DisplayPort (DP) source device, a data block obtained as a data block in Gen 2 in Universal Serial Bus (USB) by conversion, by the DisplayPort (DP) source device, from a plurality of link symbols containing a control symbol to which no ANSI 8b/10b special code is allocated in DisplayPort (DP);

convert the received data block into the plurality of link symbols; and

map the plurality of link symbols converted from the received data block to stream data.

7. The reception device according to claim 5 , wherein the circuitry is configured to discard the control symbol from the plurality of link symbols when converting the de-scrambled received data block into the plurality of link symbols.

8. The DIP sink device according to claim 6 , wherein

the circuitry is configured to discard the control symbol from the plurality of link symbols when mapping the plurality of link symbols to the stream data.
