Abstract:
Embodiments discussed herein refer to systems, methods, and circuits for managing and establishing contactless communications lanes between two contactlessly coupled systems. A contactless communication lane can be formed for each coupled pair of contactless communication units existing in the two systems. A contactless communications interface can enable software-defined connectivity that manages use of the contactless communication data lanes to enable data communications according to a selected one of a plurality of communications interfaces. The contactless communications interface may serve as a protocol translator and virtualization layer for enabling higher level software such as an operating system of a first system to communicate with a second system without requiring interface protocol specific hardware and software. This advantageously simplifies hardware and software components needed to simultaneously service a multitude of interface protocols.

Claim (Index 12):
A method for managing contactless communication lanes that exist between coupled pairs of contactless communication transceiver units (CCTUs) included in first and second systems, the method comprising:\n determining first system characteristics; determining second system characteristics; identifying all potential interface protocols that can be used to govern communication of data over the contactless communication lanes existing between the first and second systems based on the determined first and second system characteristics; and resolving to use at least one of the identified potential interface protocol.
