Abstract
The present application relates to providing auxiliary port function distinction by illuminating a first light emitting diode around a data transfer capable port wherein the first light emitting diode is illuminated in a first color, illuminating a second light emitting diode around a charge only port, receiving a first data connection request at the charge only port, illuminating the first light emitting diode a second color in response to the data connection request, receiving a second data connection request at the data transfer capable port, initiating a data connection handshake between a device connected to the data transfer capable port and a processor in response to the second data connection request, and illuminating the first light emitting diode the second color in response to the initiation of the data connection handshake.
