Method and system for transferring button status information between a media player and an accessory
Patent number: 8402187Abstract: A method, system, and connector interface for transferring status information between a media player and an accessory. The method includes determining, by the accessory, when a button event occurs; and transmitting, by the accessory, at least one button status command to the media player, where the one or more button status commands comprise a context-specific button status command and at least one command associated with a particular media type. According to the method and system disclosed herein, the media player and accessory may utilize a plurality of commands in a variety of environments such as within a connector interface system environment to facilitate the transfer of status information.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2012Date of Patent: March 19, 2013Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Gregory T. Lydon, Lawrence G. Bolton, Emily C. Schubert, Jesse Lee Dorogusker, Donald J. Novotney, John B. Filson, David Tupman -
Patent number: 8369785Abstract: Circuits, methods, and apparatus that provide compatibility among incompatible accessories and portable media players. One example provides an adapter having a connector receptacle to mate with an accessory's connector insert and a connector insert to mate with a portable media player's connector receptacle. Another example provides an adapter having a direct connection between pins on the connector insert and pins on the connector receptacle that are used for compatible signals. Another example provides an adapter including a DC-to-DC converter that receives a first power supply from an accessory and provides a second power supply to a portable media player. Another translates signals using different signaling technologies. Authentication and identification circuitry may also be included. Other examples may employ wireless technologies instead of either or both the connector insert and connector receptacle.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2011Date of Patent: February 5, 2013Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Jesse Dorogusker, Emily C. Schubert, Donald Ginsburg, Gregory T. Lydon, Lawrence G. Bolton

Patent number: 8317658Abstract: Circuits, methods, and apparatus that allow sports or other equipment, such as gym or other cardio equipment, to write data to a media player. Examples further provide the uploading of this data to a computer and third-party website. To monitor progress, the third-party website can be used to track workout data over time. The third party-website can also collect data from other users, which is particularly useful for providing a competitive environment. This data can then be graphically displayed in various ways to provide encouragement.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2011Date of Patent: November 27, 2012Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Jesse L. Dorogusker, Scott Krueger, Lawrence G. Bolton, Emily C. Schubert, Gregory T. Lydon, Debbie Lambert, Michael B. Hailey, Donald Ginsburg
