Abstract
A system and method configures an electronic device. The method comprises detecting a coupling of a peripheral device to a host device. The peripheral device appears as a compound device including an interface device and a communications device. The method comprises identifying a protocol utilized by the communications device. The method comprises generating a communications link between the communications device and the host device when the protocol is compatible with a driver of the host device.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- detecting a coupling of a peripheral device to a host device, the peripheral device appearing as a compound device including an interface device and a communications device;
- identifying a protocol utilized by the communications device;
- and
- generating a communications link between the communications device and the host device when the protocol is compatible with a driver of the host device.
A system, comprising:
- a host device;
- and
- a peripheral device coupled to the host device, the peripheral device appearing as a compound device including an interface device and a communications device,
- wherein, upon identifying a protocol utilized by the communications device, a communications link is generated between the communications device and the host device when the protocol is compatible with a driver of the host device.
A computer readable storage medium including a set of instructions executable by a processor, the set of instructions operable to:
- detect a coupling of a peripheral device to a host device, the peripheral device appearing as a compound device including an interface device and a communications device;
- identify a protocol utilized by the communications device;
- and
- generate a communications link between the communications device and the host device when the protocol is compatible with a driver of the host device.
