Abstract: A system to generate a wakeup signal for a low power device: The system includes a capacitor, the capacitance of which changes when a user touches the device by placing a finger or hand near a certain location on the device. The capacitor is cyclically charged to a pre-established value and then discharged. The time required to charge and discharge the capacitor is a function of the capacitor size and thus, a function of whether or not the operator is touching the device. The number of charge-discharge cycles that occur in a certain period of time is counted. If the number is relatively small, it indicated that a user is touching the device and a wake signal is generated. If the number is relatively large, it means that the user is not touching the device and no wake signal is generated. Thus, in the embodiments shown, a wake signal is generated when the operator touches the device.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for creating USB peripheral device report descriptors: A short, compressed, report descriptor is stored in a peripheral device. This short report descriptor is transmitted to a USB wireless bridge and combined with templates stored in the bridge to create a USP report descriptor. Power is saved because less time is required to transmit the short report descriptor than would be required to transmit a full USB report descriptor. Hardware is also saved in the peripheral device since less memory is required to store the short report descriptors as compared to storing a full USB report descriptor.
