Abstract:
A USB Type-C secondary data channel communication system includes a controller system coupled to a first USB Type-C connector. The controller system determines a second USB Type-C connector orientation when a second USB Type-C connector is connected to the first USB Type-C connector. The controller system then communicates with a connected system through a first data channel available through the second USB Type-C connector and determines that the connected system provides a second data channel mode. In response to determining the connected system provides the second data channel mode, the controller system uses the second USB Type-C connector orientation to configure the provisioning of first data through the first data channel and second data through a second data channel that is available through the second USB Type-C connector. Different data communications may then be provided to the connected system using the first and second data channels.

Claim (Index 14):
A method for communicating using a secondary data channel, comprising:\n determining, by a first system, that a cable is connected to the first system in a cable connector orientation; communicating, by the first system, through a first data channel in the cable and, in response, determining that a second system is configured to operate in a second data channel mode that provides for the transmission of first data through the first data channel separately from second data that is transmitted through a second data channel in the cable; reconfiguring, by the first system in response to determining the second system is configured to operate in the second data channel mode and based on the cable connector orientation, a configurable data communication subsystem in the first system from operating in a first data channel mode that provides for the transmission of the first data and the second data through the first data channel, to operating in the second data channel mode; communicating, by the first system to the second system, the first data over the first data channel; and communicating, by the first system to the second system, the second data over the second data channel separately from the first data that is communicated over the first data channel.
