Method, system and computer program for adding a field to a client capability packet sent from a client to a host
First Claim
1. A method executing on a hardware computer for providing client supported features and capabilities to a host in a mobile display digital interface (MDDI) system, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing fields to a client capability packet for the client supported features and capabilities, comprising an input/output type of client field, client manufacturing information field and connectivity status of the client field;
providing values to each field unique to at least one client in the client capability packet; and
transmitting the client capability packet from the at least one client to the host.

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.
