The control part 34 makes the control signal HPDcon of the bidirectional switch 31 into a "1" state initially, and makes the bidirectional switch 31 into an input state. That is, the connection state of the first auxiliary connection module 2H is determined according to the logic state of the power supply voltage V D from the power supply terminal 303 and the connection signal HPDin from the bidirectional switch 31.
For example, when the power supply voltage V D from the power supply terminal 303 and the connection signal HPDin from the bidirectional switch 31 are both in a logic "1" state, the first auxiliary connection module 2H is connected to the display device. It is judged that it connected with the auxiliary data transmitter 122s of (12). In this case, the controller 34 maintains the control signal HPDcon of the bidirectional switch 31 in the " 1 " state so that the bidirectional switch 31 maintains the input state.

The controller 44 indicates that the second auxiliary connection module 2D is connected to the auxiliary data transmitter 122s of the display apparatus 12 when the input signal from the AND gate 41 is in a logic " 1 " state. To judge.
In this case, the controller 44 reads and records the EDID and the DPCD of the display device 12 on behalf of the host device 11, and communicates the communication between the display device 12 and the DPCD on behalf of the host device 11. To perform.
5 shows an internal configuration of the bidirectional conversion units 33 and 43 in each of the first auxiliary connection module 2H of FIG. 3 and the second auxiliary connection module 2D of FIG. 4. An internal configuration and operation of the bidirectional conversion units 33 and 43 will now be described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 5.
The bidirectional converters 33 and 43 include a subtractor 51, a serial / parallel converter 52, a parallel / serial converter 54, and a differential signal generator 53.
The subtraction section 51 is a serial input which is a result of subtracting the serial differential signal AUX- input from the auxiliary signal terminals 302 and 402 from the serial differential signal AUX + from the auxiliary signal terminals 301 and 401. Generate signal AUX.
The serial / parallel converter 52 converts the serial input signal AUX from the subtracter 51 into an 8-bit parallel input signal according to the Display-Port communication rule, and controls the controllers 34 and 44. Type in
The parallel / serial conversion section 54 converts the 8-bit parallel output signal from the control sections 34 and 44 into a serial output signal AUX in accordance with the Display-Port communication specification.
The differential signal generator 53 converts the serial output signal AUX from the parallel / serial converter 54 into serial differential signals AUX + and AUX-, and the auxiliary + signal terminals 301 and 401 and the auxiliary-signal. Output to signal terminals 302 and 402.
FIG. 6 shows the relationship between the serial differential signals AUX + and AUX- and the serial input / output signals AUX in FIG. 5. In FIG. 6, (a) shows waveforms of serial differential signals AUX + and AUX-, and (b) shows waveforms of serial input / output signals AUX.
5 and 6, the series differential signals AUX + and AUX− that are input or output from the auxiliary + signal terminals 301 and 401 and the auxiliary-signal terminals 302 and 402 may have an intermediate positive potential (V). CM has a low positive potential (V D− ) or a positive potential (V D + ), but are inverted from each other. That is, the series differential signals AUX + and AUX- have a constant potential difference V DIFF .
In the case of a serial input signal AUX input to the serial / parallel converter 52 or a serial output signal AUX output from the parallel / serial converter 54, the middle of the serial differential signals AUX + and AUX- is used. The positive potential (V CM ) is the ground potential at 0 V (volts), the low positive potential (V D- ) of the series differential signals AUX +, AUX- is the negative potential, and the series differential signals ( The high positive potentials V D + of AUX + and AUX−) correspond to the positive potentials, respectively.
In the corresponding state, subtracting the auxiliary-signal (AUX-) from the auxiliary + signal (AUX +) of the serial differential signals AUX + and AUX-, the serial input signal inputted to the serial / parallel converter 52 AUX) is obtained. Therefore, the pulse height 2V DIFF of the serial input signal AUX is twice the potential difference V DIFF between the serial differential signals AUX + and AUX-.
Of course, the differential signal generator 53 performs the above processes in reverse.
FIG. 7 shows an operation algorithm of the control unit 34 in the first auxiliary connection module 2H of FIG. 3. Referring to Figs. 1, 3 and 7, the algorithm of Fig. 7 will be described.
First, the control part 34 makes the control signal HPDcon of the bidirectional switch 31 into a "1" state initially, and makes the bidirectional switch 31 into an input state (step S701).
In addition, the controller 34 controls the connection state of the first auxiliary connection module 2H according to the logic state of the power supply voltage V D from the power supply terminal 303 and the connection signal HPDin from the bidirectional switch 31. It determines (step S702).
In step S702, if the power supply voltage V D from the power supply terminal 403 is in a logic " 0 " state, the controller 34 indicates that the first auxiliary connection module 2H is connected to the host device 11 or the display device ( It is determined that it is not connected to 12). In this case, the control unit 34 repeatedly performs the above step S702 until the upper limit time elapses (step S731).
In step S702, when the power supply voltage V D from the power supply terminal 303 is in a logic "1" state and the connection signal HPDin from the bidirectional switch 31 is in a logic "0" state, the control unit 34 Determines that the first auxiliary connection module 2H is connected to the auxiliary data receiving unit 112s of the host device 11. In this case, the control part 34 switches the control signal HPDcon of the bidirectional switch 31 to the "0" state (step S711), and generates the connection output signal HPDout of the "1" state (step S712). ).
Next, the control unit 34 transmits each of the EDID and the DPCD to the host device 11 in accordance with control signals from the host device 11 until the transmission of each of the EDID and the DPCD is completed (steps S713). And S714).
In step S702, if the power supply voltage V D from the power supply terminal 303 and the connection signal HPDin from the bidirectional switch 31 are both in a logic " 1 " state, the controller 34 connects to the first auxiliary connection. It is determined that the module 2H is connected to the auxiliary data transmitter 122s of the display apparatus 12. In this case, the control unit 34 performs the following reading and writing process.
First, the control unit 34 reads the EDID of the display device 12 (step S721).
Next, the control section 34 writes the read EDID to an internal memory, for example, a serial EEPROM (Electrically Erasable and Programmable Read Only Memory) (step S722).
Next, the control part 34 reads the DPCD of the display apparatus 12 (step S723).
Then, the control unit 34 records the read DPCD in the internal memory (step S724).
FIG. 8 shows an operation algorithm of the controller 44 in the second auxiliary connection module 2D of FIG. 4. Referring to Figures 1, 4 and 8, the algorithm of Figure 8 will be described.
First, the control part 44 determines the connection state of the 2nd auxiliary connection module 2D according to the logic state of the input signal from the AND gate 41 (step S801).
In step S801, if the input signal from the AND gate 41 is in the logical " 0 " state, the controller 44 is not connected to the display device 12 by the second auxiliary connection module 2D. I judge that. In this case, the controller 44 repeatedly performs the above step S7801 until the upper limit time elapses (step S831).
In the above step S801, if the input signal from the AND gate 41 is in the logical " 1 " state, the controller 44 determines that the second auxiliary connection module 2D is an auxiliary data transmitter of the display device 12. It is determined that it is connected with 122s. In this case, the controller 44 performs the following process.
First, the controller 44 reads the EDID of the display device 12 (step S821).
Next, the control section 44 writes the read EDID to an internal memory, for example, a serial EEPROM (step S822).
Next, the control section 44 reads the DPCD of the display device 12 (step S823).
Then, the control section 44 writes the read DPCD to the internal memory (step S824).
The controller 44 communicates the DPCD with the controller 121 in the display apparatus 12 (steps S825 and S826). That is, communication for "link training" is performed. The process is described in detail as follows.
First, the controller 44 transmits the predetermined transfer-condition information of the host apparatus 11 to the controller 121 in the display apparatus 12 in accordance with the recorded DPCD (step S825). Here, the first transmission condition information may be input in advance through the auxiliary data receiver 112s of the host device 11.
Accordingly, the control unit 121 in the display device 12 will receive the main data according to the received transmission-condition information. Next, if an error occurs in the process of receiving the main data, the control unit 121 in the display device 12 generates an inappropriate signal through the connection signal HPD that the transmission condition is not suitable for itself. For example, the control unit 121 in the display device 12 generates the connection signal HPD of the pulse train repeating the logic "1" and "0".
Accordingly, when an inappropriate signal of a pulse string repeating logics "1" and "0" is input from the AND gate 41 (step S826), the controller 44 determines the predetermined transmission-condition of the host device 11. The information is changed, and the changed transfer-condition information is transmitted to the control unit 121 in the display apparatus 12 (step S827).
The communication steps S825 and S826 of the DPCD are performed repeatedly.
As described above, according to the auxiliary connection device according to the present invention, when the first auxiliary connection module is connected to the auxiliary data transmitter of the display device once by the user, the EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) of the display device is provided. And Display Port Configuration Data (DPCD) are recorded in the first auxiliary connection module.
In addition, when the second auxiliary connection module is connected to the auxiliary data transmitter of the display device by the user, the second auxiliary connection module performs communication between the display device and the DPCD on behalf of the host device.
As a result, auxiliary connecting lines can be removed from the connector between the display device and the host device.
The present invention can be used when one communication device must read information of the other communication device in advance for data transmission.
