First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computing system to detect a type of cable comprising:
- a host device with a connection socket to support multiple types of cables, wherein the connection socket comprises a first key position and a second key position, the connection socket to;
detect the first key position and the second key position for determination of the type of cable to be connected into the connection socket;
a switching circuit to;
determine a logic state of each of the key positions while the cable is to be connected into the connection socket; and
deliver power associated with the type of cable to be connected into the connection socket, wherein the power delivered is to be based on the logic states of the key positions.

Abstract
Examples disclose a computing system comprising a host device with a connection socket to support multiple types of cables by detecting a first key position and a second key position for determination of the type of cable. Further, the computing system comprises a switching circuit to determine a logic state of each of the key positions. Additionally, the switching circuit is to deliver power associated with the type of cable based on the logic states of the key positions.

6. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium encoded with instructions executable by a processor of a computing device, the storage medium comprising instructions to:
-
detect a first key position and a second key position of a universal serial bus connection socket of the computing device, to determine a type of a universal serial bus cable to be connected into the connection socket, the key positions to indicate the type of the universal serial bus cable to be connected into the connection socket; and determine a first logic state of the first key position and a second logic state of the second key position to deliver power associated with the type of the universal serial bus cable to be connected into the connection socket, based on the logic states. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)
