1. An adaptive Universal Serial Bus (USB) charging method, comprising:
- charging a USB device according to a non-USB charging mode in a low-power state;
retaining the non-USB charging mode when no variation on a data signal coupled to the USB device is detected;
switching to a third proprietary charging mode when variation on the data signal for a first period is detected; and
keeping track of a second period and then switching to the non-USB charging mode in the third proprietary charging mode;
wherein the data signal is from a positive data input pin and a negative data input pin of the USB device.

Abstract
An adaptive universal serial bus (USB) charging method and system are disclosed. In a low-power state, a USB device is charged with a non-USB charging mode. The non-USB charging mode is retained when no variation of a data signal coupled to the USB device is detected. When the data signal possesses variation for a first period, it is switched to a third proprietary charging mode.

13. An adaptive Universal Serial Bus (USB) charging system, comprising:
-
a controller configured to charge a USB device according to a non-USB charging mode in a low-power state; and a detect unit configured to detect variation on a data signal coupled to the USB device; wherein the controller retains the non-USB charging mode when the detect unit detects no variation on the data signal coupled to the USB device;
the controller controls a switch to switch to a third proprietary charging mode when the detect unit detects variation on the data signal for a first period;wherein the data signal is from a positive data input pin and a negative data input pin of the USB device, and wherein the controller controls the switch to switch to the non-USB charging mode when a second period elapses. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
