Computer-implemented systems and methods for implementing hid over a simple peripheral bus

Abstract

In the HID over Simple Peripheral Bus embodiment, the peripheral sensor receives input from the peripheral device, and the peripheral sensor implements the HID SPB interface to interface the peripheral device with the computing system in HID data format via the Simple Peripheral Bus (SPB). Peripheral sensors are also capable of receiving scalability data for proprietary functions of the peripheral and communicating input and scalability data from the peripheral via a simple peripheral bus in the computing system. Alternatively or in addition, peripheral sensors can generate sensor data, and the HID SPB interface interfaces the peripheral sensors with the computing system via a simple peripheral bus. The peripheral sensor is then able to communicate the sensor data and the extensibility data for the peripheral sensor's proprietary functions to the computing system in HID data format via the simple peripheral bus.

Description

technical field [0001] This disclosure relates to the technical field of computer technology, and more particularly, to interfaces between peripheral devices and computing systems. Background technique [0002] Consumer devices such as cellular phones, media players, and tablet computers are often enabled to 2 C two-wire interface bus) and / or a Simple Peripheral Bus (SPB) such as a Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) bus to connect peripherals internally. However, these simple peripheral buses have no defined standards for running devices such as touch screen displays, keyboards, mouse input devices, sensors, and other HID-type devices. Manufacturers of these peripherals typically provide proprietary drivers for these peripherals because there is no standard protocol for these HID class devices to communicate over a simple peripheral bus. Consumer systems can include inter-connected peripherals from several different third-party manufacturers and hardware suppliers, and the ...
