Abstract

A method for transceiving non-USB peripheral device by an adapter and the adapter providing adaptation to an USB interface for the non-USB peripheral device, is disclosed. The adapter can read a capability report from the peripheral device and then converts the capability report to an USB-related report for facilitating accessing of the peripheral device. The adapter utilizes control commands and parameter set pre-defined by the adapter and the peripheral device to successfully access the peripheral device. The peripheral device has vendor identification (VID) and product identification (PID) and the controller transceives or detects the peripheral device with reference to the information of VID and PID.
