TECHNOLOGIES FOR A CONTROLLER HUB WITH A USB CAMERA

Abstract:

Techniques for interfacing with a universal serial bus (USB) camera by a controller hub are disclosed. In one embodiment, a controller hub includes a USB multiplexer, allowing the USB camera connected to the multiplexer to be controlled by a component of the controller hub or by a host controller of a host system. In another embodiment, a USB camera is connected to a controller hub, and the controller hub includes USB video class (UVC) function circuitry to send images from the USB camera to a host controller of a host system. The images can also be processed by a component of the controller hub.
