Sink apparatus, source apparatus, function block control system, sink apparatus control method, source apparatus control method and function block control method

摘要

A sink apparatus, a source apparatus, a function block control system incorporating the sink and source, and related methods are provided. The source apparatus may be configured to analyze specification information related to and from the sink apparatus, generate a function block control signal for the sink apparatus based on the analyzed specification information and output properties of content to be transmitted, and transmit the generated function block control signal and the content to the sink apparatus. The sink apparatus may be configured to receive the function block control signal and content from the source apparatus, selectively turn on or off at least one function block from a plurality of function blocks according to the received function block control signal, and output the received content using at least one of the plurality of function blocks that remain on.

主权项

1. A sink apparatus including a plurality of function blocks, the sink apparatus comprising:
a transceiver configured to receive content from a source apparatus; and a controller configured
to transmit specification information regarding the plurality of function blocks included in the sink apparatus to the source apparatus via the transceiver;to receive control information for turning off at least one function block from among the plurality of function blocks from the source apparatus via the transceiver, the control information being information generated by the source apparatus based on the transmitted specification information and a characteristic of the content to be reproduced in the sink apparatus; andto turn off selectively at least one function block from among the plurality of function blocks of the sink apparatus based on the received control information while the content is reproduced in the sink apparatus.
