Patent ID: 8533375

Claim:
The signal transmission system comprising an information processing device and an interface device, wherein the information processing device includes: a data coding unit that codes data into first transmitted data, the first transmitted data not including a direct-current component; a signal sending unit that superimposes a signal of the first transmitted data produced by the data coding unit on a direct current and sends the superimposed signal to the interface device through a predetermined signal line; and a signal separation unit that receives a signal of second transmitted data on which the direct current is superimposed through the predetermined signal line and separates the received signal into the signal of the second transmitted data and the direct current, and the interface device includes: a data input and output terminal that is used to supply and feed the data; a signal separation unit that receives the signal of the first transmitted data on which the direct current is superimposed through the predetermined signal line and separates the received signal into the signal of the first transmitted data and the direct current; a signal receiving unit that receives the signal of the first transmitted data; a clock reproducing unit that reproduces a clock from the signal of the first transmitted data received by the signal receiving unit; a data decoding unit that decodes the first transmitted data using the clock reproduced by the clock reproducing unit and supplies the decoded first transmitted data to the data input and output terminal; a data coding unit that codes the second transmitted data into a code shape that does not include a direct-current component using the clock reproduced by the clock reproducing unit, the second transmitted data being fed from the data input and output terminal; and a signal sending unit that superimposes the signal of the second transmitted data produced by the data coding unit on the direct current and sends the superimposed data through the predetermined signal line, wherein the information processing device further includes: an internal secondary battery that supplies the direct current; and a voltage sensing unit that senses a voltage of the direct current separated by the signal separation unit, wherein the signal sending unit stops a charge circuit that charges the internal secondary battery when the voltage sensed by the voltage sensing unit is equal to or lower than a predetermined value.
