  • Receiving device, information processing method, program, and semiconductor chip
    Patent number: 8599015
    Abstract: A receiving device includes: a receiving section configured to output a detection flag indicating that warning information is transmitted or at least part of the warning information if the warning information is transmitted; and a controlling section configured to start processing for outputting warning if the detection flag or the at least part of the warning information is supplied, wherein the supply of the detection flag or the at least part of the warning information to the controlling section is carried out by input of the detection flag or the at least part of the warning information output from a pin of a first semiconductor chip on which the receiving section is mounted to a pin of a second semiconductor chip on which the controlling section is mounted.
