    Abstract: A method for transferring data over a half-duplex wired communications link, comprises, in each of a plurality of frames: transferring a synchronization data pattern in a first direction; transferring first payload data in the first direction; transferring second payload data in a second direction opposite to the first direction; and transferring control data, wherein the format of the frame is such that, irrespective of whether the control data is transferred in the first direction or in the second direction, there is only one pair of reversals of a direction of data transfer in each frame.

    Abstract: According to embodiments described herein there is provided methods and apparatus for authenticating a first audio signal received at a device. The method comprises receiving the first audio signal at a first input, wherein the first input is for receiving audio signals from a first microphone, receiving a second audio signal at a second input from a second microphone; and comparing a third audio signal derived from the first audio signal to a fourth audio signal derived from the second audio signal. The method further comprises determining, based on the comparison, whether the first audio signal and the second audio signal meet a predetermined condition, wherein the predetermined condition indicates that the first audio signal and the second audio signal are both derived from a common acoustic signal; and using the first audio signal as an input to a voice biometrics module responsive to a determination that the first audio signal and the second audio signal meet the condition.

    Abstract: A method of sending information between first and second modules connected by a signal bus comprises generating a clock signal in the first module, and imposing the clock signal on a first line of the bus. A first pattern of bit values is transmitted from the second module to the first module on a second line of the bus, during first half-periods of each period of said clock signal. A second pattern of bit values is transmitted from the first module to the second module on the second line of the bus, during second half-periods of each period of said clock signal, wherein the second half-periods of each period of said clock signal are different from the first half-periods of each period of said clock signal. Information can then be transmitted from the first module to the second module by altering the second pattern of bit values; and information can be transmitted from the second module to the first module by altering the first pattern of bit values.

    Abstract translation: 在由信号总线连接的第一和第二模块之间发送信息的方法包括在第一模块中产生时钟信号,并将时钟信号施加在总线的第一行上。 在所述时钟信号的每个周期的前半个周期期间,第一模式的位值从总线的第二行从第二模块发送到第一模块。 在所述时钟信号的每个周期的后半个周期期间,第二模式的比特值在总线的第二线路上从第一模块发送到第二模块,其中所述时钟信号的每个周期的第二半周期 与所述时钟信号的每个周期的前半个周期不同。 然后可以通过改变比特值的第二模式来将信息从第一模块传送到第二模块; 并且可以通过改变比特值的第一模式从第二模块向第一模块发送信息。

    Abstract: A method of compensating for a round-trip transmission delay in an audio system comprising: a portable communications device; an audio accessory; and a cable, suitable for connecting the portable communications device and the audio accessory, having at least one wire and being detachable from at least one of the portable communications device and the audio accessory. At first times, a first synchronisation data pattern is transmitted on the at least one wire from said device to said accessory, wherein said first synchronisation data pattern comprises first signal level transitions on the at least one wire, synchronised to a master transmission clock. At second times, a second synchronisation data pattern is transmitted on the at least one wire from said accessory to said device, wherein said second synchronisation data pattern comprises second signal level transitions at timings that are set based on a delay value stored in said accessory. In the device, timings of said second signal level transitions as received at said device are determined relative to the master transmission clock, and timing delay control data based on said determination is transmitted from the device to the accessory. In the accessory, the timing delay control data is received, and the stored delay value is updated based on the timing delay control data.
