    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a host/peripheral local interconnect that is compatible with a self-configurable peripheral device. SOLUTION: The host device may be kept aware of the self-configured state of the peripheral device, and/or self-configured changes made at the peripheral device. The host device may scale its applications/uses of the peripheral device in light of such awareness. The peripheral device and the host device are not mechanically integrated but locally interconnected through point-to-point connection. The host queries the peripheral device with respect to configuration, receives a suggested configuration from the peripheral device, receives link-state information specifying that the peripheral device is connected to a network supporting tethering, and activates a tethering interface for enabling the host to be tethered through the peripheral device.

    Abstract: When a peripheral device 502 is connected to a host device 501, the peripheral detects whether it is connected to a network 505 and whether the network supports tethering. The host device requests the peripheral's current configuration and the peripheral indicates to the host that it supports tethering if it is connected to a network which supports tethering. The host may then configure the peripheral and tray activate a tethered network connection 509 via the peripheral. If the peripheral then detects that it is no longer connected to the network, it may signal this to the host. The tethered interface may then be deactivated. The host and the device may communicate via Bluetooth or Universal Serial Bus 510. The peripheral may communicate with the network using a 3G or EDGE interface. The device may have configurations as a camera, a music player, an address book and calendar or for tethering.

    Abstract: In a network comprising a host device (eg. an applications processor, 110, fig. 1) and a client device (130, fig. 1) connected via a communications channel (150, fig. 1), which may all reside in a â networkâ on the same device (eg. a smartphone 100), the host suspends (eg. places in low-power mode) communications on the link when a polling request from the host returns a suspend request (eg. a negative acknowledgement or NAK) from the client. Under the USB protocol, the client cannot transmit a suspend request unprompted, and so enumeration (eg. configuration) information and IN or OUT tokens are exchanged before generating a Suspend Request 1210. Each â client deviceâ may be an integrated circuit running a function (eg. phone, GPS etc.) which inputs to the same host processor via a USB High Speed Inter-Chip (HSIC) link.

    Abstract: In an embodiment, a system on a chip (SOC) includes a component that remains powered when the remainder of the SOC is powered off. The component may include a sensor capture unit to capture data from various device sensors, and may filter the captured sensor data. Responsive to the filtering, the component may wake up the remainder of the SOC to permit the processing. The component may store programmable configuration data, matching the state at the time the SOC was most recently powered down, for the other components of the SOC, in order to reprogram them after wakeup. In some embodiments, the component may be configured to wake up the memory controller within the SOC and the path to the memory controller, in order to write the data to memory. The remainder of the SOC may remain powered down.
