Confusing connections between digital devices from different brands
Similar-looking ports make it difficult to assess accessory compatibility and connection status.
Three-step solution method
- Map common accessory connection tasks and the cues users rely on.
- Refine port naming, location guidance and connection-confirmed feedback.
- Test selection, connection and troubleshooting with real device combinations.
Key Deliverables
- Connectivity information architecture
- Port guide
- Feedback Prototype
Verification Approach
Log wrong accessory choices, repeated connection attempts and misread status.
