Abstract: Shareable code objects (including a data object and/or executable program code) can be shared between accessories and mobile devices to facilitate interoperation of accessories and mobile devices. For instance, a shareable code object that contains configuration data for a particular accessory can be obtained by a mobile device from one accessory and subsequently shared with other accessories of similar type when they connect to the mobile device. As another example, a shareable code object that includes executable program code can facilitate interoperation of the accessory and the mobile device without the user having to download and install an app.

Abstract: Duplex audio is provided for a mobile communication device and an accessory. In some embodiments, the accessory can selectably operate in a duplex audio mode, concurrently sending audio to and receiving audio from the mobile communication device, or in another audio mode. In duplex audio mode, the accessory can enable its internal audio processing operations (e.g., echo cancellation) while the mobile communication device disables its corresponding internal operations or vice versa. The mobile communication device can control when the accessory transitions into and/or out of duplex audio mode.

Abstract translation: 为移动通信设备和附件提供双工音频。 在一些实施例中，附件可以可选择地以双工音频模式操作，同时向移动通信设备发送音频和从移动通信设备接收音频，或以另一种音频模式。 在双工音频模式下，当移动通信设备禁用其对应的内部操作或反之亦然时，附件可以实现其内部音频处理操作（例如回声消除）。 移动通信设备可以控制附件何时转换到和/或脱离双工音频模式。

Abstract: A host device can manage a controllable power adapter accessory using a communication protocol. Based on information provided by the controllable power adapter accessory as to its power capabilities and the power needs and preferences of the host device, the host device can determine a desired power profile and request power from the accessory conforming to the desired profile. The desired power profile can also depend in part on the power-carrying capability of one or more cables connected between the host device and the accessory. In some instances, the host device and controllable power adapter accessory can be connected via an intermediary accessory that can siphon power from the controllable power adapter accessory, and the host device can manage the power siphoning behavior of the intermediary accessory using the communication protocol.

Abstract translation: 主机设备可以使用通信协议管理可控电源适配器附件。 基于由可控电力适配器附件提供的关于其功率能力和主机设备的功率需求和偏好的信息，主机设备可以根据期望的配置文件确定期望的功率分布和请求功率。 期望的功率分布也可以部分地取决于连接在主机设备和附件之间的一个或多个电缆的功率承载能力。 在一些情况下，主机设备和可控电源适配器附件可以经由可从可控电源适配器附件虹吸电力的中间附件连接，并且主机设备可以使用通信协议来管理中间配件的功率虹吸行为。

Abstract: A message-based identification process can facilitate reliable interoperation between accessories and host devices. During an identification process, the devices can negotiate an operating agreement that specifies particular communications (e.g., messages) that each device is permitted to send to or receive from the other, for example by having one device send a list of specific messages that it intends to send to and/or receive from the other. The other device can review the proposal and either accept or reject it. If a proposal is accepted, the devices can begin interoperating using messages that were included in the agreed-upon proposal while ignoring any received messages that were not included in the agreed-upon proposal.

Abstract: An adapter can be used to connect a portable electronic device to an accessory in instances where the portable electronic device and the accessory have incompatible connectors. The adapter provides two connectors, one compatible with the portable electronic device and the other compatible with the accessory. The adapter has several modes of operation. The portable electronic device selects the appropriate mode of operation for the adapter once it receives information about the accessory connected to the adapter. The portable electronic device instructs the adapter to switch to the selected mode and in response the adapter configures its internal circuitry to enable the selected mode. The portable electronic device can then communicate with the accessory via the adapter. The presence of the adapter can be transparent to the accessory.
