Abstract
A remote monitoring system for handheld electronic devices includes a multi-port hub, and a port visualizer connected to one of the ports of the multi-port hub. The port visualizer is configured to provide a host with mapping information correlating USB hub ports with physical storage bays within the storage system. A USB controller monitors the charge status of the ports and reports the charge status information both locally and to a HED status application. The port visualizer obtains device status information from the host and reports device status information to the HED status application. A client application obtains charge status information and device status information from the HED status application to enable remote monitoring of devices connected to the storage system.
