Abstract
An information handling system with a hybrid Universal Serial Bus Type-C (USB-C) port architecture and method for operating the same comprising a USB-C port for communicating display graphics signals to a plurality of peripheral device types attachable to the USB-C port where the USB-C port is operably connected to a high throughput data translation hub via a first data bus capable of transmitting the display graphics signal at least at 8.1 Gbit/s across at least four lanes and the high throughput data translation hub is operably connected to a dedicated discrete graphics processing unit (dGPU) and operably connected to a CPU with integrated GPU (iGPU) operating with lower graphics processing capacity and power than the dGPU. A USB-C controller executing code instructions of the hybrid USB-C head mounted display interface management system to instruct the USB-C port to operate in a first mode or in a second mode depending on identification of a peripheral device type attached to the USB-C port where the USB-C port is operably connected to a first multiplexing circuit via a second data bus for transmitting USB data wherein the first multiplexing circuit is capable of operating in the first mode to operably connect USB data from the USB-C port to the USB-C controller, and the first multiplexing circuit is capable of operating in the second mode to operably connect the dGPU to the USB-C port via a USB data line parallel to the first data bus.
