Description
- This application is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 13/324,952, filed on Dec. 13, 2011, which is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 11/872,499, filed Oct. 15, 2007, now U.S. Pat. No. 8,078,973, which is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 10/180,475, filed Jun. 25, 2002, all of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
- The present invention relates to a method of informing a user regarding a speed of a connection between a device and a host. More particularly, this invention relates to a method of visually displaying an indicator representing the connection speed of the device.
- When a USB device (such as a Mass Storage device) is plugged into a USB bus of a host computer, the host operating system (OS) enumerates the device and mounts it to a desktop of the OS. Each mounted device conventionally has a graphic icon associated with it that can be displayed on the desktop, such as in a desktop window. A display screen (such as a computer monitor) connected to the host computer displays the desktop to a user. Traditionally, it has been difficult (or impossible) for a user to determine what bus speed the USB device was enumerated at (e.g., low speed (LS), full speed (FS), or high speed (HS)). The differences in throughput between LS (1.5 Mbit/sec), FS (12 Mbit/sec), and HS (480 Mbit/sec) is significant.

The graphic icon is selected based solely on the type of device (e.g., a local drive, a removable drive, a CD-ROM drive, etc.). There has traditionally been no easy way to identify the speed at which a device has been enumerated. - According to one embodiment of the present invention, a method of providing visual indication of a device connection speed is provided. According to this method, a connection speed of the device is determined and a visual indicator representative of the connection speed is selected. Once the appropriate indicator has been selected, it is then displayed. In addition to representing the speed of connection, the visual indicator can also be selected to represent the type of device connected.
- According to another aspect of the invention, a system can be configured to visually represent a device connection speed. The system preferably includes a host and a peripheral device connected to the host. Microprocessor(s) can be programmed to provide means for determining a connection speed of the peripheral device and means for selecting a visual indicator corresponding to the connection speed. A display unit can be configured to display the selected visual indicator.
- In a preferred embodiment, a device is connected to a host computer via a USB connection. A visual indicator, preferably comprising a graphic icon that represents the speed of the USB connection, can be selected using software running on the host computer. The selected graphic icon can then be displayed on a display screen of a computer monitor connected to the host computer. The display screen can be configured to display the icon on a desktop, in a desktop window, or in a desktop tray of the host operating system, for example.
- The foregoing and additional aspects and advantages of the present invention will become more readily apparent through the following detailed description of preferred embodiments, made with reference to the attached drawings, in which:
-
FIG. 1 is a schematic illustration of a desktop window of a computer operating system containing a conventional visual representation of a USB-connected device; -

It should be noted, however, that these embodiments are provided by way of example, and not by way of limitation, and that the embodiments disclosed herein may be modified in form and detail without departing from the principles and scope of the invention.
- According to various preferred embodiments of this invention, a graphic icon displayed for a USB-connected drive or other device is selected based on a speed of a connection (e.g., whether the device is enumerated at low speed (LS), full speed (FS), or high speed (HS)). By implementing the principles of the present invention, a user can determine the speed of the connection simply by glancing at the graphic icon (or other visual indicator) representing the mounted device.
-
FIG. 2 is a schematic illustration of a hostOS desktop window 10 displaying agraphic icon 16 a that represents a USB Mass Storage device enumerated at full speed, according to one aspect of the present invention.FIG. 3 shows adesktop window 10 displaying a differentgraphic icon 16 b representing a USB Mass Storage device enumerated at high speed, according to another aspect of the present invention. A still different icon could be used to represent a low speed connection. - Referring to
FIGS. 2 and 3 , by selecting and displaying agraphic icon appropriate icon icon icon - Of course, other visual display methods are also contemplated. According to another embodiment of the invention, for instance, visual indication of the device connection speed can be provided in a tray icon, either directly in a tray itself or in a pop-up window of the tray.
FIG. 4 illustrates one alternative embodiment, in which atray icon FIG. 4 , acolored icon 22 b (color not shown) in a pop-upwindow 30 of thedesktop tray 20 can be used to represent a device enumerated at high speed, whereas agray icon 22 a can be used to represent a device enumerated at full speed. Rather than using color to indicate the speed of connection, different icons could be used, as in the previous embodiment. Other methods of providing visually distinguishable icon features could also be used. - Many other ways of providing a visual representation of device connection speed to a user could also be used. Among other things, the type of icons and the display locations can be varied with respect to a desktop OS display system. The icons themselves can be modified in any desired manner (e.g., size, shape, color, etc.) to represent different connection speeds. Further, although the visual indicator in the preferred embodiment is a graphic icon displayed on a computer monitor or similar display device, other visual indicators such as LEDs or images or symbols on a display panel (e.g., an LCD panel or screen) could also be used to provide visual indication of USB enumerated speed to a user. Instead of a computer monitor that is part of the host computer system, the display unit can be a light or display panel that is part of the USB connection cable or part of the USB device.
- In summary, a method of providing visual indication of a device connection speed includes determining a connection speed of a device. A visual indicator representative of the connection speed is then selected and displayed.
