    Abstract: A method to enable a vehicle's embedded USB Host system to connect to multiple mobile devices through a USB Hub, regardless of whether the mobile devices are configured to act as USB Hosts or USB Devices, without USB On the Go (OTG) controllers or additional vehicle wiring, or inhibiting the functionality of any consumer devices connected to the same USB Hub. Preferably, the method is configured to provide that no additional cabling is required, and no hardware changes are required to be made to the HU. The method can be employed between a vehicle's embedded USB Host, USB Hub and at least one consumer accessible USB port. When the consumer device is acting as a USB Host, signals between the consumer device and the vehicle's embedded USB Host are processed through a USB bridge, thereby rendering the consumer device compatible with the vehicle's embedded USB Host.

    Abstract: An electrical power supply device is configured to communicate with a start-stop controller that automatically shuts down and restarts an internal combustion engine in a vehicle. The device includes a DC-DC power convertor and a device controller. The DC-DC power convertor is configured to produce a first voltage or a second voltage that is less than the first voltage. The device controller causes the DC-DC power convertor to produce the first voltage in response to a first signal from the start-stop controller indicating that the input voltage will remain equal to or greater than the threshold voltage and also causes the DC-DC power convertor to produce the second voltage in response to a second signal from the start-stop controller indicating that the input voltage may become less than the threshold voltage.

Preferably, the method is configured to provide that no additional cabling or hardware changes to accommodate this capability. The method can be employed between a vehicle's embedded USB Host, USB Hub and at least one consumer accessible USB port. When the consumer device is acting as a USB Host, signals between the consumer device and the vehicle's embedded USB Host are processed through a USB bridge, thereby rendering the consumer device compatible with the vehicle's embedded USB Host.
