What is HID over I2C?
HID over I2C provides support for various Human Interface Devices over the I2C bus. These devices can be for example touchpads, keyboards, touch screens or sensors. If this binding is used, the kernel module i2c-hid will handle the communication with the device and the generic hid core layer will handle the protocol.
What is HID in Bluetooth?
