Appl. No.:

16/155162

Inventors:

- Redmond WA, US
Anthony Y. Chen - Bellevue WA, US
Vivek Gupta - Bothell WA, US
Andrea A. Keating - Seattle WA, US
Randall E. Aull - Bothell WA, US
Rahul Ramadas - Bellevue WA, US

International Classification:

H04L 12/24
H04W 84/20
H04W 52/02

Abstract:

Embodiments described herein are directed to mechanisms that enable roles (e.g., host vs. function, power provider vs. power consumer, master vs. slave, server vs. client, source vs. sink, upstream vs. downstream) to be dynamically assigned between two interconnected dual-role devices in an intelligent and deterministic manner based on the available context on each device.

International Classification:

G06F 13/38
G06F 13/42
G06F 9/44

Abstract:

A universal serial bus stack may use an emulation layer to grant a non-universal serial bus device access to universal serial bus drivers and applications. The universal serial bus stack may exchange a device communication at an emulation layer. The universal serial bus stack may translate between a universal serial bus communication and the device communication at the emulation layer, and then may exchange the universal serial bus communication at a universal serial bus client interface.

International Classification:

G06F 9/44
G06F 13/10
G06F 9/445

Abstract:

Systems and methods for specifying extended descriptor information in a device accessed using a communication interface are disclosed. One method includes transmitting a request to a device from a host computing system, and receiving an extended capability descriptor identifying to the host computing system at least one extended descriptor set stored on the device. The extended capability descriptor identifies a minimum operating system version able to support a corresponding extended descriptor set.
