High data rate interface apparatus and method
First Claim
1. A method for determining forward link integrity in a mobile display digital interface (MDDI) communication system, the method comprising the steps of:
- a host continuously monitoring a forward link CRC error count and a forward CRC error in a client, the MDDI communication system comprising the host and the client, both the host and the client comprising a MDDI controller and a connector;
adjusting operational link parameters by the host based on the monitored forward link CRC error count; and
the host receiving CRC forward link error count from the client over a MDDI link and periodically sending a reverse link encapsulation packet to the client over the MDDI link comprising turn around and reverse data packets information, the MDDI link supporting a high rate digital data transfer rate using low power signals.

Abstract
A data interface for transferring digital data between a host and a client over a communication path using packet structures linked together to form a communication protocol for communicating a pre-selected set of digital control and presentation data. The signal protocol is used by link controllers configured to generate, transmit, and receive packets forming the communications protocol, and to form digital data into one or more types of data packets, with at least one residing in the host device and being coupled to the client through the communications path. The interface provides a cost-effective, low power, bi-directional, high-speed data transfer mechanism over a short-range “serial” type data link, which lends itself to implementation with miniature connectors and thin flexible cables which are especially useful in connecting display elements such as wearable micro-displays to portable computers and wireless communication devices.
