Patent attributes
A camera includes an input/out system and one or more input/output ports. The camera configures the pins of the input/output port according to a default pin configuration. The camera detects a peripheral device is connected the input/output ports and receives an identifier from the peripheral device indicating whether the peripheral device is a USB3 device or a non-USB3 device. If the peripheral device is a non-USB3 device, the camera remaps the pins to a first configuration. The camera authenticates with the peripheral device to determine if the peripheral device meets a criteria for an approved device. If the authentication is successful, the camera enables communication with the peripheral device and remaps the pins to a second configuration. If the authentication is unsuccessful, the camera disables communication with the peripheral device and remaps the pins of the input/output port to the default configuration.
