An aspect relates to an apparatus including a first pair of switching devices configured to selectively couple an application processor to a Universal Serial Bus (USB) differential data transmission lines; a USB host port connector coupled to the USB differential data transmission lines; a second pair of switching devices configured to selectively couple an audio circuit to the USB differential data transmission lines; and an equalizer including differential terminals coupled to the USB differential data transmission lines, respectively.

An information processing apparatus is capable of communicating via a universal serial bus (USB) cable with a USB host device configured to transmit a first control transfer command at a start of communication. The information processing apparatus includes one or more controllers configured to function as a unit configured to acquire and hold predetermined data in response to having received the first control transfer command from the USB host device and a unit configured to transmit the held predetermined data to the USB host device on the basis of having received a second control transfer command from the USB host device.

According to one embodiment, a device control apparatus includes a communication interface connectable to several client terminals via a network and a local device interface connectable to several peripheral devices. The device control apparatus functions as registration unit configured to receive an occupation request for a peripheral device from a client terminal and then register the peripheral device for which the occupation request has been received as occupied by the client terminal if the peripheral device is not registered as occupied by another client terminal. A setting unit sets a release time for releasing the occupation of the registered peripheral device, and an update unit updates the release time whenever communication occurs between the registered peripheral device and the client terminal. A release unit releases the registered occupation of the peripheral device once the release time elapses.

An information processing apparatus which is capable of being quickly started. In the information processing apparatus, a USB device is capable of being removably connected to a downstream port. In the information processing apparatus, at startup of the information processing apparatus, a setting process for making the USB device ready for use is started in a connecting state in which the USB device is connected to the downstream port, and when the setting process has been completed, whether or not the USB device is in the connecting state is detected.

A system and method for efficiently transferring data between devices. In various embodiments, a host computing device receives parallel data, encodes the parallel data as a count of pulses as serial data, and conveys the serial data to a peripheral device. The peripheral device decodes the received serial data to determine the parallel data, which is sent to processing logic. The devices send the encoded pluses on a bidirectional line, so the pulses are capable of being sent in both directions. The devices send the encoded pulses on the bidirectional line using a non-zero base voltage level. The devices are capable of using a voltage headroom when conveying encoded pulses between one another. Therefore, a full voltage swing between a ground reference voltage level and a power supply voltage level is not used when conveying the encoded pulses, which reduces power consumption.

A host computing device includes a host processor, host memory in electronic communication with the host processor, and an auxiliary service controller. The host computing device also includes a communication interface and a messaging interface between the host processor and the auxiliary service controller. A message handler is stored in the host memory. The message handler is executable by the host processor in response to detecting a messaging interface signal on the messaging interface. Execution of the message handler by the host processor causes a firmware update patch to be read from a shared memory region in the auxiliary service controller via the communication interface.

A power receiving apparatus includes a power receiving unit and a control unit. The power receiving unit receives a first power from a power supply apparatus via a connection unit. The control unit determines whether or not authentication information including identification information of the power supply apparatus is authentic, and determines whether or not the power supply apparatus has passed a compliance test based on the identification information. The power receiving unit is allowed to receive a second power greater than the first power, in a case where the authentication information is authentic and the power supply apparatus has passed the compliance test.

The present application discloses a display panel and a display device. The display panel includes: a common electrode layer including a plurality of columns of first common electrodes, wherein each column of the plurality of columns of the first common electrodes includes a plurality of touch electrodes insulated from each other; and a driving module. Each of the plurality of touch electrodes is electrically connected to the driving module through one or more touch leads. A number of the touch leads corresponding to each of or adjacent ones of the plurality of touch electrodes gradually increases along a direction away from the driving module.

A docking station includes a network interface controller (NIC), a dock-side controller and a dock-side connector interface. The NIC is configured to transmit one or more management component transport protocol (MCTP) packets via a system management bus (SMbus). The dock-side controller is electrically coupled to the SMbus, and configured to encode the one or more MCTP packets to one or more vendor specific protocol (VSP) packets. The dock-side connector interface is electrically coupled to the dock-side controller, and configured to transmit the one or more VSP packets to an electrical device to control a basic input output system (BIOS) of the electrical device on the condition that the electrical device is connected to the docking station via the dock-side connector interface.
