  • Universal serial bus emulation layer
    Patent number: 10162778
    Abstract: A universal serial bus stack may use an emulation layer to grant a non-universal serial bus device access to universal serial bus drivers and applications. The universal serial bus stack may exchange a device communication at an emulation layer. The universal serial bus stack may translate between a universal serial bus communication and the device communication at the emulation layer, and then may exchange the universal serial bus communication at a universal serial bus client interface.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 22, 2017
    Date of Patent: December 25, 2018
    Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLC
    Inventors: Firdosh Bhesania, Andrea A. Keating, Vivek Gupta, Robbie Harris, Randall Aull

  • Child serial device discovery protocol
    Patent number: 9824059
    Abstract: In one example, a host device may identify a serial device connected to the host device to determine a host action. The host device may receive a serial device signal with a child serial device identifier from a serial device bridge. The host device may identify a child serial device based on the child serial device identifier. The host device may execute a host action based on the child serial device.
