Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to an information processing apparatus and an information processing method which are capable of reducing consumption of standby power of an HDMI-CEC support device. An AV amplifier which is an HDMI-CEC support device and serves as an HDMI repeater transmits a polling signal to a television receiver which is an HDMI-CEC support device and serves as an HDMI sink based on the premise that it is connected via an HDMI cable at predetermined time intervals, and the AV amplifier is regarded as being connected via the HDMI cable as long as an ACK is received. Then, after the HDMI cable is removed, no ACK is returned to the AV amplifier, the HDMI cable is regarded as being removed accordingly, and thus an operation of a CPU of the AV amplifier is stopped, whereby power saving is achieved. The present disclosure can be applied to an HDMI-CEC support device.

Claim (Index 11):
An information processing method of an information processing apparatus that is connected with another apparatus via an interface including a signal channel in which transmission and reception of a predetermined signal are performed and a control channel in which a control signal used for control is transmitted bi-directionally, the information processing method comprising:\n transmitting a first control signal to the other apparatus, determining a connection state of the interface on the basis of a second control signal received from the other apparatus in response to the first control signal, and controlling an operation of a main control unit in accordance with a determination result for the connection state, the main control unit being configured to control an overall operation in the information processing apparatus.
