Methods and systems of exchanging data between an electronic device and an external accessory
First Claim
1. A method of exchanging data between an electronic device and an external accessory, the method comprising:
- receiving, at an interface of the electronic device, a connector of the external accessory;
transmitting, via a first pin of the interface, data between the external accessory and the electronic device;
interrupting, via a signal from an electronic processor of the electronic device, data transmission between the external accessory and the electronic device via the first pin of the interface;
while data transmission is interrupted, detecting, via the first pin of the interface, an activation of a talk actuator; and
activating, via the electronic processor, a transmitter in response to detecting the activation of the talk actuator.

Abstract
A method of exchanging data between an electronic device and an external accessory. In one example, the method includes receiving, at an interface of the electronic device, a connector of the external accessory. The method also includes transmitting, via a first pin of the interface, data between the external accessory and the electronic device, and interrupting, with an electronic processor of the electronic device, data transmission between the external accessory and the electronic device via the first pin of the interface. The method further includes while data transmission is interrupted, detecting, via the first pin of the interface, an activation of a talk actuator, and activating, via the electronic processor, a transmitter in response to detecting the activation of the talk actuator.

12. An electronic device comprising:
-
an interface configured to receive a connector from an external accessory, the interface including a first pin coupled to the connector; a transmitter configured to transmit messages with an external device; and an electronic processor coupled to the interface and the transmitter, the electronic processor configured to transmit, via the first pin of the interface, data between the external accessory and the electronic device, interrupt data transmission between the external accessory and the electronic device through the first pin of the interface, detect, while data transmission is interrupted, activation of a talk actuator via the first pin of the interface, and send an activation signal to the transmitter in response to detecting activation of the talk actuator. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
