Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A host device can enable operation with a client device based on stored or cached enumeration information. The enumeration information can be initially received from the client device during a first configuration process, and stored or cached in volatile and/or non-volatile storage accessible by the host device. During subsequent configuration processes, operation with the client device can be enabled based on the stored or cached enumeration information. Operation between the host device and the client device can be facilitated through a communication protocol, such as the universal serial bus (USB) protocol. A host device and client device can be connected via a traditional USB or USB High Speed Inter-Chip (HSIC) connection.
First claim
