A USB device, integrated circuit, smart card and method are disclosed. A USB transceiver is connected to a data interface and operable at a respective low speed and full speed configuration. A processor as a USB device controller is operatively connected to the low speed USB transceiver and full speed USB transceiver and operable for transmitting a different device descriptor to a USB host for performing an enumeration depending on whether a low speed or high speed operation is chosen.

A method for changing operation of a device, comprising: sending target device descriptors to the device's device emulator, which processes and stores the descriptors as the current descriptors in memory, and the device emulator responding to a query from a host simulating operation of the target device. Using the method, the host recognizes the device as a different, target device, such as printers, MFPs, peripherals, digital cameras, etc. Device emulation enables installation and other testing of a new and yet unavailable target device under development. The methods also include USB device enumeration, making a print job containing extended PJL commands and sending it using a generic device driver, emulator firmware analyzing and storing the descriptors in registers, sending a line reset command to simulate device detachment and reattachment, and meeting timing requirements of USB detached and attached states.

A peripheral for notifying a USB-connected upper apparatus of a device descriptor and allowing the upper apparatus to specify a communication partner destination by the function information shown in the device descriptor has: a peripheral function information holding unit which holds function information showing functions of the peripheral; a dependent peripheral function information holding unit which holds function information showing functions of a USB-connected dependent peripheral; and a USB control unit which reads out one of the function information held in those holding units by a selecting instruction and notifies the upper apparatus of the device descriptor in which the read-out function information is shown. A peripheral which can realize a multi-function without developing a dedicated driver and installing it into a PC is provided.

The invention provides USB interface-based communication equipment and a method for realizing service allocation. The method is used in the USB interface-based communication equipment. The method comprises the following steps that: the USB interface-based communication equipment reports an equipment descriptor to a host so that the host finishes loading a host driver; the USB interface-based communication equipment receives a control command transmitted by a host side through a USB interface after finishing loading the host driver; and the USB interface-based communication equipment allocates service attribute information according to the control command so that the service attribute information can indicate the service attribute of the USB interface-based communication equipment. USB control information of the invention controls the service attribute information so that the equipment of the invention can realize service differentiation support aiming at different operating systems. In addition, the USB interface-based communication equipment is easier to integrate without other additional operation.

A method and apparatus for processing data samples utilizes a channel map populated by device descriptor, or by an application program interface. Packet processing code loops through all of the samples contained in a packet while incrementing through a channel map and steering table without having to look up a table to determine in what audio buffer the sample is to be stored or read. Additionally, the present invention utilizes a stride map, so the audio subsystem knows how many samples to skip in order to reach the next sample frame. The present invention can be used for handling received packets as well as forming packets to send over a bus.

A method for automatically identifying an operating system for a USB device begins at initializing the USB device, and recording USB commands sent from the operating system. The USB device determines the operating system as a first operating system when there are two successive USB commands of Get Product String, there is one USB command of Get Vender String, there is no USB command of Reset ahead of a USB command of Set Address, there is no USB command of Get Language ID, or there is no USB command of Set Feature Report. The USB device determines the operating system as a second operating system when there is no USB command of Get Vender String, there are two USB commands of Get Language ID and two USB commands of Get Product String, there is one USB command of Get Device Descriptor following a USB command of Get Product String, or there is one USB command of Set Interface Report.

The present invention includes a system and methods for upgrading software on a mobile terminal. The system includes a network management computer (NMC) adapted to receive a plurality of software upgrades and to transmit one of the plurality of software upgrades to one of a plurality of mobile terminals through a satellite link. The mobile terminal can include an upgradeable component, which in turn includes a detachable device descriptor (DDD) corresponding to operating characteristics of the upgradeable component. According to the present invention, the NMC is adapted to transmit the one of a plurality of software upgrades to the mobile terminal in response to the DDD of the upgradeable component. Methods employing similar features and advantages are also disclosed herein.
