Abstract: It is inter alia disclosed to transmit a signal between a communication pin (112) of a first data interface (110) of the apparatus (103) and a second data interface (120) of the apparatus, wherein the signal at least provides information related to a power transmission between a power supply pin (111) of the first data interface (110) and a power supply pin (121) of the second data interface (120), wherein the first data interface (110) is configured for a connection with a first apparatus (101) and the second data interface (120) is configured for a connection with a second apparatus (102).

Abstract: An approach is provided for optimizing the use of a device based on the subscriptions and contextual information associated with the device. The optimizing platform determines at least one request to perform one or more activities associated with at least one device. The optimizing platform processes and/or facilitates a processing of the at least one request against one or more conditions of one or more subscriptions associated with the at least one device to cause, at least in part, a recommendation of at least one of the one or more subscriptions for performing the one or more activities.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for charging and audio usage. In one aspect there is provided a method, which may include detecting, by an accessory including a first connector and a second connector configured to enable coupling to a user equipment, a charger being coupled to the first connector; sending, based on at least the detected charger, an indication to the user equipment to change to a power receive mode; detecting, by the accessory, the change to the power receive mode; and allowing, based on at least the detected change, power to flow from the first connector to the second connector. Related systems, apparatus, and articles of manufacture are also disclosed.

Abstract: A power delivery capability is described. In an embodiment, a device is described, comprising: a processor; and a storage comprising a set of instructions; wherein the set of instructions causes the processor to: Detect a power supplying device by universal serial bus based communication; Use a power delivery communication of the universal serial bus to read a capability of the power supplying device; Based on the capability, set a level of a power supply voltage different to universal serial bus voltages in case different voltages are supported by the power supplying device; Based on the capability, set a level of a power supply current in a linear current limiting mode in case the different voltages are not supported by the power supplying device. In other embodiments, a device and a method are discussed.
