Apparatus and method for cancellation by recipient of image signal retransmission

摘要

An apparatus and method for cancellation of image signal retransmission by recipient. In one embodiment of the invention, a source device capable of cancelling image signal retransmission from a source device to a target device following an unsuccessful transmission attempt and on receipt of instruction from the target device comprises a first circuit and a second circuit. The first circuit is capable of enabling connection between the source device and the target device via a communication system. When the source device unsuccessfully transmits the image signal to the target device, the first circuit initiates retransmission of the image signal from the source device to the target device at a time following an initial transmission unless otherwise inhibited. The second circuit is communicatively connected to the first circuit, and the second circuit is capable of receiving a control signal from the target device when the source device is connected to the target device. When the control signal meets preselected criteria, the second circuit is capable of inhibiting retransmission of the image signal by the source device.
