High data rate interface with improved link synchronization
First Claim
1. A method of verifying link synchronization in a mobile display digital interface (MDDI) communication system, the method comprising the steps of:
- sending a round trip delay measurement packet from a host to a client; and
searching for a predetermined response from the client to the sent round trip delay measurement packet to verify the link synchronization and to notify the host when to expect packet data to start within a reverse encapsulation packet, wherein the predetermined response comprises a single pulse response transmitted within a packet interval.

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.

17. A non-transitory storage media comprising program instructions which are hardware computer-executable to implement a verification of link synchronization in a mobile display digital interface (MDDI) communication system, the storage media comprising;
-
program instructions that cause a round trip delay measurement packet to be sent from a host to a client; and program instructions that cause a predetermined response be searched from the client to the sent round trip delay measurement packet to verify the link synchronization and to notify the host when to expect packet data to start within a reverse encapsulation packet, wherein the predetermined response comprises a single pulse response transmitted within a packet interval. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
