Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

This document describes techniques ( 300, 400 ) and apparatuses ( 100, 500, 600, 700 ) for in-band peripheral authentication. These techniques ( 300, 400 ) and apparatuses ( 100, 500, 600, 700 ) may communicate via a non-media channel allowing host device ( 102 ) to authenticate peripheral ( 106 ), enable an enhanced operational mode of the host device ( 102 ), and/or provide content configured for the peripheral ( 106 ) without the use of out-of-band signaling.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method, comprising: determining an address of a non-media channel at which a peripheral communicatively coupled to a media interface of a host device can be authenticated by the host device; performing an authentication protocol using the address at which the peripheral can be authenticated; responsive to the peripheral being authenticated, enabling a full operational mode between the host device and the media interface, wherein the full operational mo…
