Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for determining whether an accessory includes particular circuitry. A host device may measure a first voltage and a second voltage received from an accessory, where the voltages are provide through the accessory from a power source. Before measuring the second voltage, the host device may send an instruction to the accessory instructing the accessory to alter an impedance of the power path between the power source and the host device, and the host device may draw at least a threshold amount of current from the power source via the accessory. The host device may then determine whether the accessory includes particular circuitry based on the relationship between the first voltage and the second voltage.

Abstract: Systems and methods for configuring contacts of a first connector includes detecting mating of a second connector with the first connector and in response to the detection, sending a command over one of the contacts and waiting for 5 a response to the command. If a valid response to the command is received, the system determines the orientation of the second connector. The response also includes configuration information for contacts in the second connector. The system then configures some of the other contacts of the first connector based on the determined orientation and configuration information of the contacts of the second 10 connector. 113a 106 109 ...-. - '102 104 ---- 115 -- ' 107 104c 113b 110a 108a 114a Fig. 1A 112jj)-112(N) 102 -,,120 -114(j)-114(N) 108b - Fig. 1 B

Abstract: Computer readable storage mediums, electronic devices, and accessories having stored thereon data structures. A data structure includes a pin selection field operable to identify a connector pin and cause a host device to select one of a plurality of communication protocols for communicating with an accessory over the identified connector pin. The data structure also includes an accessory capability field defining an accessory identifier that uniquely identifies the accessory. 1 08a Fig. IA 1 08b Fig. 1lB

Abstract: Ein Zubehör umfassend: einen Steckverbinder, der einen Energiepin, der betrieben werden kann, um eine Spannung für eine Hostvorrichtung bereitzustellen, und einen Datenpin aufweist, der betrieben werden kann, um eine Vielzahl verschiedener Anweisungen von der Hostvorrichtung zu empfangen; und eine leistungsbeschränkende Schaltung, die betrieben werden kann, um Folgendes zu implementieren: einen Bypassmodus, in dem Strom und Spannung durch einen Energiepfad von einer Energiequelle zu dem Energiepin im Wesentlichen unverändert passieren kann; und einen leistungsbeschränkenden Modus, der als Antwort auf das Empfangen einer Anweisung von der Hostvorrichtung über den Datenpin aktiviert wird, um eine Impedanz des Energiepfades zu verändern, in dem eine Impedanz des Energiepfads im Vergleich zum Betrieb in dem Bypassmodus erhöht ist, um eine erste Spannung, die von der Energiequelle empfangen wurde, auf eine zweite Spannung zu reduzieren, die bei dem Energiepin bereitgestellt wurde.

Abstract: A system that detects electrical disconnection of one connector from another connector includes a detection circuitry and a protection circuitry. The detection circuitry detects that a plug connector has been electrically disconnected from a corresponding receptacle connector. In response to the detection, the detection circuitry sends a signal to the protection circuitry. In response to the signal, the protection circuitry lowers or terminates power being supplied to a host device via one of the contacts of the plug connector. This helps to prevent shocks/shorts that may be caused by accidental disconnection of the plug connector. 63781784 vI
