发明名称 Electronic Devices With Connector Alignment Assistance
摘要 An electronic device may have input-output ports. The electronic device may have control circuitry and input-output devices. The input-output devices may include sensors, camera equipment, and other input devices that the control circuitry uses to monitor the location of the plug relative to the input-output port. The input-output devices may also include a display, light-emitting diode array, speaker, or other visual or audio output device. The control circuitry can use the output device to provide a user with plug alignment assistance information. The plug alignment assistance information can be provided visually, using audio, or using other output. Plug alignment assistance information can include information that helps the user align the plug with a port and may be based on information on the location of the plug relative to the input-output ports and based on information on which ports are available.
