The present technology relates to a communication device and a control method, in which the variety of connection modes between electronic apparatuses can be increased. Provided are: a detection target mechanism detected when the first electronic apparatus is connected to a second electronic apparatus that receives a baseband signal output from the first electronic apparatus; a connection detecting unit adapted to detect a baseband signal output from the second electronic apparatus and to detect a connection between the first and second electronic apparatuses; and a control unit adapted to connect the detection target mechanism to the first electronic apparatus where a connection between the first electronic apparatus and the second electronic apparatus is detected by the connection detecting unit. The present technology is applicable to, for example, a scenario in which a universal serial bus (USB) host recognizes connection to a USB device.

Communication device and control method

The present technology relates to a control apparatus, a control method, a cable, an electronic apparatus, and a communication apparatus that are capable of increasing the variation of a connection mode of an electronic apparatus to which a predetermined cable such as a USB cable can be connected. An electronic apparatus receiving a baseband signal of a baseband to start initialization processing for causing the electronic apparatus to be in a state of being capable of establishing connection or to turn on or off a power source based on detection results of power of a modulation signal obtained by frequency-converting the baseband signal into a signal of a predetermined frequency band higher than the baseband is controlled. The present technology can be applied to a cable connected to an electronic apparatus to which a cable capable of supplying a power source by bus power such as a USB cable.

Control apparatus, control method, cable, electronic apparatus, and communication apparatus with increased variation of connection mode

There is provided a communication device including a transmission unit configured to transmit a modulated signal obtained by performing frequency conversion to convert a baseband signal output by a first electronic device into a signal with a higher frequency band than the baseband signal, using a waveguide as a transmission path, and a detection target mechanism corresponding to a mechanism included in a second electronic device that receives the baseband signal output by the first electronic device, the detection target mechanism being configured to be connected to the first electronic device and to be detected by the first electronic device when the first electronic device and the second electronic device are connected.
