Publication number: 20230205723Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a communication device, a communication method, and a program for offering adaptability to a wider variety of applications and enhancing reliability of communications. With a CCI protocol implemented as an upper layer, a physical layer transmits and receives data including an extended header and an extended footer to and from another communication device. A CCI-FS processing section compares a Desination ID included in the extended header with an ID (Source ID) given to the communication device, and determines whether or not the data is for accessing the communication device. The physical layer is MIPI A-PHY that has an asymmetrical upper layer of a point-to-point topology and is designed to allow high-speed data transmission, control data, and electric power to share one physical wire. The present technology is applicable to a communication system that is used for connection in an in-vehicle camera, for example.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 25, 2021Publication date: June 29, 2023Inventors: Hiroo Takahashi, Noriyuki Natsukawa, Takayuki Hirama, Makoto Nariya

Publication number: 20230199306Abstract: Communication devices and systems are disclosed. In one example, a communication device is configured to communicate with a communication partner device in accordance with a protocol including a first operation and a second operation. The first operation includes identification information of the communication partner device, write-instructing information, identification information of a first storage unit of the communication partner device, and data to be written in the first storage unit. The second operation follows the first operation and includes identification information of the communication partner device, write-instructing information, identification information of a second storage unit of the communication partner device, information indicating a number of the protocols, and a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) code used to detect an error in the protocol. The second storage unit is configured to store the CRC code and the information indicating the number of the protocols.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 30, 2021Publication date: June 22, 2023Inventors: Hiroo Takahashi, Takashi Sotohebo, Takayuki Hirama
