On the other hand, in the above-described embodiments, if after this electricity-saving mechanism meeting the energy-conservation Ethernet standard of 802.3az is successfully arranged in second control circuit 106 by first control circuit 102, when first control circuit 102 and second control circuit 106 are in the process of running the low-power consumption mode (LowPowerIdle both entering this electricity-saving mechanism, LPI) time (such as a park mode), if when first control circuit 102 is for waking up second control circuit 106 from this park mode, one transfer circuit of first control circuit 102 can send the receiving circuit of a triggering signal to second control circuit 106 by coffret 1022, to wake second control circuit 106 up.In order to prevent a receiving circuit of the echo false wake-up first control circuit 102 caused by this triggering signal, therefore the present invention separately provides the impact that one the 7th embodiment causes to improve this echo data transmission system 100, as shown in Figure 2.When first control circuit 102 and second control circuit 106 are the control circuit of HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface), the impact that this echo causes data transmission system 100 is the most serious, this is owing to being the transmitting-receiving utilizing same data transmission media (such as with a pair transmission line) to carry out data between the first control circuit 102 of HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) and second control circuit 106, when this triggering signal is sent to the receiving circuit of second control circuit 106 by the transfer circuit of first control circuit 102, the receiving circuit of first control circuit 102 is just likely by an echo institute false wake-up.Therefore following disclosed embodiment mainly illustrates technical characteristic of the present invention for the data transmission system of a HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface), and so it is not as restriction place of the present invention.
