Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for enabling a power path between a power source and a host device via an accessory. A host device may send, to an accessory arranged within the power path, via a first data pin arranged in the host device, a request for an accessory identifier. The accessory identifier identifies the accessory. The host device may then determine whether the accessory identifier is received from the accessory within a specified period of time or whether a received accessory identifier is valid. If the accessory identifier is not received from the accessory within the specified period of time, or a received accessory identifier is not valid, the host device sends a new request for the accessory identifier to the accessory via a second data pin different than the first data pin.

Abstract: Verfahren, Systeme und Vorrichtungen zum Einrichten eines Leistungspfades zwischen einer Leistungsquelle und einer Hostvorrichtung über ein Zubehör. Eine Hostvorrichtung kann eine Anfrage für einen Zubehöridentifikator an ein Zubehör, das innerhalb eines Leistungspfades angeordnet ist, über einen ersten Datenpin, der innerhalb der Hostvorrichtung angeordnet ist, senden. Der Zubehöridentifikator identifiziert das Zubehör. Die Hostvorrichtung kann dann feststellen, ob der Zubehöridentifikator innerhalb einer bestimmten Zeitspanne von dem Zubehör empfangen worden ist oder, ob ein empfangener Zubehöridentifikator gültig ist. Wenn der Zubehöridentifikator von dem Zubehör nicht innerhalb der bestimmten Zeitspanne empfangen worden ist oder, wenn ein empfangener Zubehöridentifikator nicht gültig ist, sendet die Hostvorrichtung eine neue Anfrage für den Zubehöridentifikator an das Zubehör über einen zweiten Datenpin, der anders ist als der erste Datenpin.

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. MEASURE A FIRST VOLTAGE RECEIVED FROM AN ACCESSORY 422 SEND AN INSTRUCTION TO THE ACCESSORY TO ALTER AN IMPEDANCE, AT THE ACCESSORY, OF A POWER PATH BETWEEN A POWER SOURCE AND A HOST DEVICE SINK CURRENT FROM THE POWER SOURCE VIA THE ACCESSORY MEASURE A SECOND VOLTAGE RECEIVED FROM THE ACCESSORY N FIRST VOLTAGE > SECOND VOLTAGE? ACCESSORY DOES NOT INCLUDE POWER LIMITING CIRCUITRY Y ACCESSORY INCLUDES POWER LIMITING CIRCUITRY

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.

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
