Abstract
An electronic device includes a housing, a connector and an indicating structure. The connector is mounted to the housing. The indicating structure is located on the housing corresponding to the connector. The indicating structure includes a proximity switch and a luminescent component. The proximity switch is configured to switch on the luminescent component when detecting presence of a nearby peripheral connector. The peripheral connector is easily coupled to the connector.
Claims18
An electronic device, comprising:
- a housing;
- a connector mounted to the housing;
- and
- an indicating structure located on the housing corresponding to the connector, and the indicating structure comprising a proximity switch and a luminescent component;
- wherein the proximity switch is configured to switch on the luminescent component to indicate the connector when detecting presence of a nearby peripheral connector, which is configured to be coupled to the connector.
