Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses for charging a host device from a charging source through an accessory are described. Upon detecting an input power signal from the charging source, an accessory may send an identification request to the host device and authenticate the host device based on the identification information received from the host device. Upon authenticating the host device, the accessory may enable a power path between the charging source and the host device to supply a charging current to charge the host device.

Abstract: Examples of the disclosure are directed to a method of, after hitting a UVLO threshold, rebooting an electronic device in a low power mode having a lower UVLO threshold, such that the device can continue to be used past the first UVLO threshold. For example, in a high power mode, the device may be capable of a number of functionalities of a modern portable electronic device, such as network access, the ability to run applications, Bluetooth connections, etc. In a low power mode, the device may only be able to check and display a current time, play an alarm sound at a predefined time, perform near field communication (NFC) transactions/payments, among other possibilities described herein. The limited functionality and reduced usage of peripherals in the low power mode may prevent the battery from experiencing peaks in current level that may be problematic at relatively low levels of voltage.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses for booting an accessory with an accessory firmware image received from a host device are described. When the host device detects a connection between the accessory and the host device, the host device may send a request for an accessory identifier to the accessory. The accessory may send an accessory identifier to the host device in response. The host device may select an accessory firmware image that is suitable for the accessory, and may transmit the accessory firmware image to the accessory. The accessory firmware image may include information that the accessory can use to enable the accessory to exchange application data with the host device.

Abstract: A host device can enable operation with a client device based on stored or cached enumeration information. The enumeration information can be initially received from the client device during a first configuration process, and stored or cached in volatile and/or non-volatile storage accessible by the host device. During subsequent configuration processes, operation with the client device can be enabled based on the stored or cached enumeration information. Operation between the host device and the client device can be facilitated through a communication protocol, such as the universal serial bus (USB) protocol. A host device and client device can be connected via a traditional USB or USB High Speed Inter-Chip (HSIC) connection.

Abstract: On variation may include using a plurality of node structures to assemble a uniframe.

Abstract: Adjusting processor performance based on processing profiles. The method may determine that a process has entered a processing state after an idle state. In response to entering the processing state the processing time of the processor may be monitored. In response to the processing time exceeding a first threshold of time, the performance of the processor may be increased from a first level to a second level. In response to the processing time exceeding a second threshold time, the performance of the processor may be decreased from the second level to a third level. In response to the processing time exceeding a third threshold time, the performance of the processor may be increased from the third level to a fourth level. In response to the processing time exceeding a fourth threshold time, the performance of the processor may be decreased from the fourth level to a fifth level.
