Display apparatus and method
First Claim
1. A display apparatus which includes communication means for executing a communication with a host computer via an interface cable, comprising:
- a display including a display screen for displaying image data transferred in synchronism with display timing from the host computer via the interface cable;
a connector connectable to the interface cable that communicates with the host computer;
detection means for detecting whether or not said connector is connected to the host computer via the interface cable;
recognition means for recognizing a connection/disconnection state of the interface cable on the basis of a detection result of said detection means; and
information means for informing a recognition result of said recognition means.

Abstract
A display apparatus includes a communication device for executing a communication with a host computer via an interface cable. The display apparatus also includes a display having a display screen for displaying image data transferred in synchronism with display timing from the host computer via the interface cable, a connector connectable to the interface cable that communicates with the host computer, and a detector for detecting whether or not the connector is connected to the host computer via the interface cable. A connection/disconnection state of the interface cable is recognized on the basis of the detection result.
