Abstract: An adapter can be used to connect a portable electronic device to an accessory in instances where the portable electronic device and the accessory have incompatible connectors. The adapter provides two connectors, one compatible with the portable electronic device and the other compatible with the accessory. The adapter has several modes of operation. The portable electronic device selects the appropriate mode of operation for the adapter once it receives information about the accessory connected to the adapter. The portable electronic device instructs the adapter to switch to the selected mode and in response the adapter configures its internal circuitry to enable the selected mode. The portable electronic device can then communicate with the accessory via the adapter. The presence of the adapter can be transparent to the accessory. 64034840 v 1 Fig. 1

Abstract: 1000149427_1.DOCX Abstract Embodiments of the present invention provide various communication techniques for communication between a mobile computing device and an accessory. An accessory protocol that is generic to the mobile computing device can be used for some communication. An application executing at the mobile computing device can communicate with the accessory using an application communication protocol. In some embodiments, the application communication protocol can be different from the accessory communication protocol. In other embodiments the application protocol may only be recognized by the application and the accessory. In some embodiments, messages conforming to an application protocol can be communicated between the application and the accessory by packaging the messages inside a message conforming to the accessory communication protocol.

Abstract: A method for identifying an application usable with an accessory is provided. The method includes receiving an accessory identifier associated with the accessory, identifying an application protocol associated with the accessory identifier, identifying an application that supports the application protocol, and providing information about the application to a user device. A method for identifying an accessory usable with an application is also provided. The method includes receiving information about an application, determining an application protocol associated with the application, determining an accessory that supports the application protocol, and providing information about the accessory to a user device.

Abstract: Ausführungsformen der vorliegenden Erfindung stellen verschiedene Kommunikationstechniken zur Kommunikation zwischen einer mobilen Rechenvorrichtung und einer Zubehörvorrichtung bereit. Ein Zubehörvorrichtungsprotokoll, das ursprünglich in der mobilen Rechenvorrichtung enthalten ist, kann für einige Kommunikation verwendet werden. Eine Anwendung, die auf der mobilen Rechenvorrichtung ausgeführt wird, kann mit der Zubehörvorrichtung kommunizieren mit Hilfe eines Anwendungskommunikationsprotokolls. In einigen Ausführungsformen kann das Anwendungskommunikationsprotokoll sich von dem Zubehörvorrichtungskommunikationsprotokoll unterscheiden. In anderen Ausführungsformen kann das Anwendungsprotokoll nur von der Anwendung und der Zubehörvorrichtung erkannt werden. In einigen Ausführungsformen können Mitteilungen, die dem Anwendungsprotokoll entsprechen, zwischen der Anwendung und der Zubehörvorrichtung kommuniziert werden durch das Packen der Mitteilungen in eine Mitteilung, die dem Zubehörvorrichtungskommunikationsprotokoll entspricht.
