Definitions
- U.S. Patent No. 5,640,160 describes a PPM modulation protocol where a binary code is divided into 2-bit data units and pulse position modulation is performed on each unit rather than on each bit.
- a pulse is not formed for each bit, the transmission interval and transmission frame interval for the modulated signal is shortened, thus enabling high speed transmission.
- the width of the pulse does not contain any transmission information, the pulse width is made as short as possible, thereby reducing battery consumption within the transmitter. While such bi-directional communication protocols do work for their intended purpose, what is needed is an improved system and method for managing bi-directional communication links.
- a system and method wherein a consumer electronic device is adapted for two-way, wireless communications with at least one peripheral device.
- the consumer electronic device is further associated with a controller that functions to assign communication slots to the peripheral to facilitate communications between the peripheral and the consumer electronic device.
- Communications may be performed using a bi-directional IR protocol such as, for example, TWIRP 32X which transmits data using PPM modulation and a sub-carrier of 455 kHz.
- time slots are dynamically assigned and contended for by multiple peripherals under the supervision of the TS controller utilizing the aforementioned dedicated protocol control and synchronization time slot.
- the dynamic assignment of time slots enables more peripheral devices to be used within the system than there are time slots available in a single protocol cycle, i.e., individual peripheral devices may successively register, obtain a time slot, transfer data, and then relinquish the time slot for use by other peripheral devices.
- individual peripheral devices may be polled by the TS controller in a cyclic fashion, responding in time slots indicated in each poll request.
- each of the peripheral devices that transmitted the simultaneous messages in question should be programmed to back off, i.e., not transmit, for a variable period of time determined, for example, as a function of a combination of their Registry Number and last assigned tag number.
- the peripheral device may assume that no transactions are currently taking place and the TS controller has entered into an idle mode, in which case the peripheral device may simply assume ownership of slot zero and initiate activity by issuing an asynchronous "Peripheral Registry Request" for slot zero.
- a "Peripheral Registry" packet may be a special case of a more general long packet, e.g., forty-two (42) bit, packet type.
- bit locations 1-3 and 1-4 e.g., PI and P2
- bit locations 1-3 and 1-4 define the packet type: 0 or 1 for an inbound packet (i.e., from a peripheral device to the TS Controller), 2 for an outbound packet (i.e., from the TS Controller to one or more peripheral devices).
- the "Peripheral Registration" packet may contain a 1-bit value (e.g., PRG) which is used to request that the registration be treated as persistent by the TS Controller in the manner described in greater detail hereinafter.
- PRG a 1-bit value
- the TS controller may issue a "registration accepted” status for this slot in the next "End-of-Cycle” packet (i.e., in the S(n)3 through S(n)0 field previously described in connection with Fig. 6), including confirmation of the tag number to be used (i.e., in the T5 through TO field).
- the TS controller may issue a "registration accepted" status for this slot in the next "End-of-Cycle" packet (i.e., in the S(n)3 through S(n)0 field previously described in connection with Fig. 6), including confirmation of the tag number to be used (i.e., in the T5 through TO field).
- T5-T0 Tag field is available in the "End-of-
- the peripheral device may now transmit and receive data, as illustrated in Figs. 2 - 4, by means of a data packets, examples of which are illustrated in Fig. 10. Transmission of the data packets is performed using the assigned time slot and may include the tag number. As a general rule, the time slot remains assigned to the peripheral for only as long as necessary to complete one contiguous data transfer operation. The registration may thus expire and the time slot be automatically de-allocated upon the occurrence of the first protocol cycle during which the peripheral does not transmit a data packet in the assigned time slot. Provision may be made, however, for peripherals which require a rapid reporting rate to request persistent registration, as described in greater detail hereinafter.
- the TS Controller can detect the tag number in a transmission from the peripheral device, which tag number has been noted as being expired by the TS Controller - as part of the deregistration process, and take steps, e.g., issue a "NACK, slot not registered” or a "backoff message to the peripheral as may be seen in the "Cycle Completion" packet illustrated by way of example in Fig. 6, to cause the peripheral to stop transmitting data and initiate a new peripheral registry request.
- the tag number may be used to uniquely distinguish individual peripheral devices.
- the tag number provided in connection with the assignment may also be useful in the case where a time slot is being shared by several peripheral devices on a polled basis under control of the TS Controller.
- the tag number can be used by the TS Controller to sequence transmissions by the peripheral devices.
- each successive polled slot could have the polled tag number incremented by 1 as described in footnote 1 to the "Cycle Completion" packet definition illustrated in Fig. 6.
- a peripheral device may transfer data to the TS controller in its assigned time slot using one of several possible packet formats, examples of which are illustrated in Fig. 10.
- Fig. 10a and 10b both long packets (e.g., Figs. 10a and 10b) and short packets (e.g., Fig. 10c) may be supported.
- the TS controller may differentiate between the two packet sizes by simply monitoring the number of bits received. Different packet layouts may also be supported, as illustrated by the two exemplary long packets illustrated in Figs 10a and 10b.
- the packet format illustrated in Fig. 10a may be suitable, for example, for use by general purpose human interface peripheral devices and for the initial "Peripheral Registry Request" packet, while the format illustrated in Fig.
- 10b may be suitable, for example, for applications where maximum data transfer payload is required. Since these packets cannot be differentiated by length, provision may be made in the packet contents for a field (e.g., bits 1-3 and 1-4, or P0,P1 with reference to Fig. 7) to indicate to the receiving TS Controller which type the packet is being transmitted.
- a field e.g., bits 1-3 and 1-4, or P0,P1 with reference to Fig. 7
- the time slot allocation assigned to that peripheral device may remain active for a predetermined number of empty protocol cycles, e.g., up to thirteen (13), following a protocol cycle in which a packet was successfully transmitted in the allocated time slot.
- Persistent registration would be utilized, for example, when the default behavior for non-persistent slot allocation is set to cause the TS Controller to de-allocate a slot following a single empty protocol cycle.
- the peripheral device should listen for a "Cycle Completion" packet and confirm that its previous time slot is still reserved by the TS Controller under persistent registration (e.g., as indicated by the tag value). If the TS Controller has persisted the registration, the peripheral device can simply send its data packet in the appropriate time slot. Otherwise the peripheral device should have to re-register with the TS Controller as usual.
- the peripheral device should be programmed to forget its persistent registration, i.e., the peripheral would simply have to register with the TS Controller as usual.
- a peripheral device should not go to sleep until it has been inactive long enough that its persistent registration tag would have expired by the time it awoke from a new user event and tried to establish a new session.
- the allocation of a time slot to persistent registration may not be actually confirmed until a data packet is received in the allocated slot from the registering peripheral.
- Reception of a data packet in this manner provides confirmation that the peripheral successfully received the "Cycle Completion" packet granting the persistent registration of the time slot.
- the TS controller wishes to transmit outbound data to one or more peripheral devices, this may be accomplished by first indicating in an "End-of-Cycle" packet which slot(s) in the forthcoming protocol cycle will contain outbound data packets from the TS controller, and which device(s) they are intended for. More specifically, with reference to Fig.
