  • Patent number: 10461885
    Abstract: The present technology relates to a communication system, and a transmission method that a restoration time from a state that a transmission of a signal between AC-coupled apparatuses is suspended can be shortened without increasing a power consumption. A first control signal is transmitted via the second signal line in a case where a transmission of the signal via the first signal line is restored from a suspended state, and that a transmission of a charging signal that charges an AC coupling capacitance serially connected to the first signal line via the first signal line is started before a timing when the transmission of the first control signal is ended. The present technology is applicable, for example, to a communication system in conformity with the eDP standard.
