  • Interface controller, external electronic device, and external electronic device control method
    Patent number: 10318463
    Abstract: An interface controller coupling the main body of an external electronic device to a host, and the electronic device using the interface controller and a control method for the external electronic controller are disclosed. The interface controller has a control unit and a non-volatile memory. The control unit is configured to transmit a termination-on signal to the host when link information retrieved from the main body has been written into the non-volatile memory. When the host issues a link information request in response to the termination-on signal, the control unit uses the link information stored in the non-volatile memory to respond to the link information request.
    Type: Grant

  • External electronic device and interface controller and external electronic device control method
    Patent number: 9606951
    Abstract: An interface controller, coupling a device main body of an external electronic device to a host, is disclosed, which transmits a termination-on signal to the host prior to a mechanically stable state of a device main body of the external electronic device. When the device main body has not reached the mechanically stable state yet, the interface controller responds to the host with default link information in a delayed manner. The default link information is contained in the interface controller. When the device main body reaches the mechanically stable state, the interface controller transmits specific link information retrieved from the device main body to the host.
