Display device, control method and program
A display device connected to a signal source outputting a video signal using an encryption protocol and that transmits the encryption key to the signal source includes: a transmission unit that transmits an own encryption key uniquely set for the display device and an encryption key transmitted from another display device connected to the display device as a lower device to the signal source and another display device connected as an upper device; and a stop instruction unit that instructs another display device corresponding to a predetermined encryption key included in an encryption key group based on the order of the own encryption keys included in the encryption key group to stop transmitting the encryption key received when the own encryption key is included in the encryption key group including a plurality of encryption keys transmitted from another display device connected as the lower device.
1. A display device, that is connected to a signal source for outputting a video signal using an encryption protocol, and that transmits an encryption key used in the encryption protocol to the signal source, comprising:
a transmission unit that transmits own encryption key which comprises an encryption key uniquely set for the display device and an encryption key transmitted from another display device connected to the display device as a lower level device in the daisy chain connection to another display device connected as an upper level device in the daisy chain connection; and
a stop instruction unit that instructs another display device, corresponding to a predetermined encryption key included in an encryption key group based on the order of the own encryption keys included in the encryption key group, to stop transmitting the encryption key received by the another display device when the own encryption key is included in the encryption key group including a plurality of encryption keys transmitted from another display device connected as the lower level device.
2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein
the stop instruction unit instructs the display device that has transmitted the encryption key to change the voltage level of the hot-plug (Hotplug) power supply from High to Low when the encryption key transmitted from the another display device includes the own encryption key.
3. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein
when receiving an instruction from the another display device to stop transmitting the encryption key received by the display device, the transmission unit stops transmitting the encryption key received by the display device.
4. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein
the encryption key comprises a KSV (Key Selection Vector).
5. The display device according to claim 1 ,
the display device comprising:
a display unit that displays an image based on the video signal output from the signal source.
6. A control method, comprising:
transmitting an own encryption key which comprises an encryption key uniquely set for a display device that is connected to a signal source for outputting a video signal using an encryption protocol and transmits the encryption key used in the encryption protocol to the signal source, and an encryption key transmitted from another display device connected to the display device as a lower level device in the daisy chain connection to another display device connected as an upper level device in the daisy chain connection; and
instructing another display device corresponding to a predetermined encryption key included in an encryption key group based on the order of the own encryption keys included in the encryption key group to stop transmitting the encryption key received by the another display device when the own encryption key is included in the encryption key group including a plurality of encryption keys transmitted from another display device connected as the lower level device.
7. A computer-readable storage device storing a program that makes a display device which is connected to a signal source for outputting a video signal using an encryption protocol, and transmits an encryption key used in the encryption protocol to the signal source, execute:
processing of transmitting an own encryption key which comprises an encryption key uniquely set for the display device and an encryption key transmitted from another display device connected to the display device as a lower level device in the daisy chain connection to another display device connected as an upper level device in the daisy chain connection; and
processing of instructing another display device corresponding to a predetermined encryption key included in an encryption key group based on the order of the own encryption keys included in the encryption key group to stop transmitting the encryption key received by the another display device when the own encryption key is included in the encryption key group including a plurality of encryption keys transmitted from another display device connected as the lower level device.
