Title: Communication protocol adapter
Inventor: BRADLEY ALLAN LAMBERT
IPC: G06F13/38
Filed: 2017-08-07
Abstract: When a particular type of device is received by port(s), information related to a detection of the types of devices is used to determine a subset of capabilities from the full set of capabilities to a bus of the communication protocol. This may enable a USB, such as USB type-C bus port to provide analog ports for a line input devices, microphones and mono or stereo headsets, or to connect to a digital optical input/output device. Power may be removed from the bus and then reapplied if high-impedence causes decoupling. The discovery of hardware allows plug-and-play devices to be attached using interface protocols optimised to the connected peripheral.
