Dedicated USB Power Ports Coupled With A Multi-port USB Powered Hub

Abstract

A dedicated power port (DPP) providing 1 Amp (A) or more of current enables a user to charge mobile tablet and communication like devices (TCD) without the use of additional software or circuitry. The DPP is coupled with a multi-port USB powered hub (MPH), the user can simultaneously charge TCDs via the dedicated port while peripheral devices, which are connected to non-dedicated USB ports, continue to function within industry specifications. Thereby addressing a limitation for viable charging solutions of modern day TCDs while simultaneously retaining the functionality and convenience of a MPH, all in one embodiment.

What I claim is: 
     
         1 . A process for charging electronic devices, comprising of one or more USB ports which are solely used for providing current coupled with a multi-port USB powered hub. 
     
     
         2 . The said process of  claim 1  wherein said ports used solely for providing current; provide 1 amp or more of current output from each port to attached devices. 
     
     
         3 . The said process of  claim 2  further comprises of no requirement of additional circuitry or software to be installed on a host apparatus to charge a device attached to the ports solely used for providing current. 
     
     
         4 . The said process of  claim 1  further comprises of a multi-port USB powered hub with one or more USB ports which are not solely used to provide current. 
     
     
         5 . The said process of  claim 1  wherein said charging of electronic devices and multi-port USB powered hub usage can occur independently and simultaneously in one embodiment.
