Method of Controlling Connection Between Nodes in Digital Interface
First Claim
1. A method for controlling a connection through an interface, comprising:
- transmitting a control information including an identification information of a destination node and a command indicating whether the destination node is operated to be connection or disconnection with the interface; and
receiving, according to the control information, a response information including an identification information of source node and an indicator identifying a current state of the connection.

Abstract
A method of controlling connection between nodes in a digital interface whereby a first node that is a master node determines a second node to be the master and controls a point-to-point connection or a broadcast connection to another node. The first node having the display device determines the second node to be the master in accordance with a user selection, and transmits a connection command of a predetermined format for transmitting a data stream to the second node. The second node determined as the master in accordance with the transmitted connection command of the predetermined format is allocated with a channel and a bandwidth from an isochronous resource manager (IRM), and performs a point-to-point connection between the second node and the first node to transit the data stream. Thus, the transmission/reception, reproduction, and control of the data stream of the program can be smoothly performed.
