Abstract: A single prong, multiple signal conducting plug and plug detection circuitry is provided. The plug may be electrically coupled to a stereo headset including a microphone. The plug may include four signal conducting regions arranged in a predetermined order along the length of the prong. Detection circuitry may be operative to determine whether a microphone type of plug (e.g., a four region plug including a microphone region and two audio regions, or a three region plug including microphone region and only one audio region) or a non-microphone type of plug (e.g., stereo plug is inserted into the jack of an electronic device (e.g., mobile phone). Detection circuitry may also detect user activated functions performed in response to user activation of one or more switches included with the headset. For example, the headset may include a single switch for performing a function with respect to a microphone (e.g., end-call function).

Abstract: Electronic devices and accessories such as headsets for electronic devices are provided. A microphone may be included in an accessory to capture sound for an associated electronic device. Buttons and other user interfaces may be included in the accessories. An accessory may have an audio plug that connects to a mating audio jack in an electronic device, thereby establishing a wired communications link between the accessory and the electronic device. The electronic device may include power supply circuitry for applying bias voltages to the accessory. The bias voltages may bias a microphone and may adjust settings in the accessory such as settings related to operating modes. User input information may be conveyed between the accessory and the electronic device using ultrasonic tone transmission. The electronic device may also gather input from the accessory using a voltage detector coupled to lines in the communications path.

Abstract: An alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC) power converter may have a connector with a pair of power supply contacts and a pair of data contacts. An electronic device may be connected to the connector of the power converter. The power converter may supply DC power to the electronic device using the power supply contacts. The power converter may include control circuitry that has a resistor coupled across the data contacts. When the electronic device and the power converter are connected to each other, each may advertize to the other that capabilities are present that exceed industry standards. At the same time, standard-compliant discovery operations may be performed to probe the value of the resistance of the resistor that is coupled across the data contacts. When extended capabilities are discovered, extended functions may be performed including accelerated charging functions and data communications functions.

Abstract: Un convertidor de alimentación de corriente alterna (AC) a corriente continua (DC) puede tener un conector con un par de contactos de fuente de alimentación y un par de contactos de datos. Un dispositivo electrónico puede conectarse al conector del convertidor de alimentación. El convertidor de alimentación puede suministrar energía de DC al dispositivo electrónico al utilizar los contactos de fuente de alimentación. El convertidor de alimentación puede incluir un conjunto de circuitos de control que tiene un resistor acoplado a través de los contactos de datos. Cuando el dispositivo electrónico y el convertidor de alimentación se conectan entre sí, cada uno puede anunciar al otro que se presentan capacidades que exceden los estándares industriales. Al mismo tiempo, pueden realizarse operaciones de descubrimiento en cumplimiento con los estándares para sondear el valor de la resistencia del resistor que se acopla a través de los contactos de datos. Cuando se descubren capacidades extendidas, pueden realizarse funciones extendidas incluyendo funciones de carga acelerada y funciones de comunicaciones de datos.

Abstract: A power converter 24 comprises an alternating current AC to direct current DC converter supplying a DC voltage across two power lines, and control circuitry 24 including a resistor R across two data lines 30,32 and detector circuitry such as receiver 70 that detects modulated signals on one of the data lines. An electronic device 46 may be supplied by the converter and comprises a connector 36 having two power line contacts and two data line contacts and circuitry that measures how much resistance is across the data line contacts using a signal and a transmitter to transmit data by modulating the signal to create signal pulses (figs 4,5). The data and power lines can be those of a universal serial bus (USB) and the converter 24 can be used to charge a battery (fig 1, 52) of a portable device. The resistor can have a value of less than 200 ohms and be measured by holding a current source constant and monitoring the voltage. Switch 68 in series with the resistor and controllable current sources 62, 80 can be modulated to transmit data between a charger and a device to advertise to the other that capabilities including accelerated charging functions and data communications functions are present that exceed industry standards.
