Abstract

See full text

Disclosed is a method for use by a device to distinguish between a Charging Downstream Port (“CDP”) and a Dedicated Charging Port (“DCP”). The method comprises detecting that the device is attached to a charging port, and determining whether the charging port is the CDP or the DCP without causing a host coupled to the CDP to be able to detect the device if the charging port is the CDP.
