Patent ID: 7721015

Claim:
A method for dynamically adjusting a color code corresponding to a task performed by each of a plurality of input/output (I/O) ports, the method comprising: receiving, in response to the connection of a device with a first I/O port of a first audio codec device, a retasking request that includes switching the tasks performed by each of the first I/O port and a second I/O port of a second audio codec device; reconfiguring, in response to the retasking request, the task performed by the first I/O port from an initial first I/O port task to a subsequent first I/O port task; reconfiguring, in response to the retasking request, the task performed by the second I/O port from an initial second I/O port task to a subsequent second I/O port task; changing, in response to the reconfiguring of the task performed by the first I/O port, a first I/O port color code from a initial first I/O port color code corresponding to the initial first I/O port task to a subsequent first I/O port color code corresponding to the subsequent first I/O port task; and changing, in response to the reconfiguring of the task performed by the second I/O port, a second I/O port color code from a initial second I/O port color code corresponding to the initial second I/O port task to a subsequent second I/O port color code corresponding to the subsequent second I/O port task.
