  • Publication number: 20090278993
    Abstract: In an adapter apparatus, a wireless communication circuit wirelessly transmits an audio-visual signal to an adapter apparatus, and receives an HPD pulse signal from the adapter apparatus. A controller controls a DVD player to execute a predetermined initialization processing, by converting the HPD pulse signal into an HPD signal and outputting the HPD signal to the DVD player. In the adapter apparatus, a wireless communication circuit receives the audio-visual signal from the adapter apparatus, and wirelessly transmits the HPD pulse signal to the adapter apparatus. A controller controls the DVD player to execute the predetermined initialization processing, by controlling the wireless communication circuit to wirelessly transmit the HPD pulse signal to the adapter apparatus.

  • Publication number: 20080254743
    Abstract: In a wireless repeater apparatus communicating with wireless communication apparatuses, a switching circuit transfers a data packet received through any one of antennas to any one of antennas for transmission. A correspondence table memory stores a correspondence table that includes relations of an identifier of each antenna between an identifier of each wireless communication apparatus. A wireless repeater apparatus control circuit controls transfer of the data packet by the switching circuit based on the correspondence table.
