Apple has patented a system for those who forget about the «stop the USB-device»

Most mobile devices connect to your computer via USB-interface. This requires a connection before disconnecting the device from the computer to stop all programs involved in the transfer of data, ie «Stop the USB-device». Many users of such a need to forget or to neglect random movement knock connector device from the port. Such unauthorized «hot» disconnect can lead to damage and loss of information in the media. Company Apple has patented a system that can prevent such incidents.

The system was named «Touch and go» and is based on the inclusion in the mobile device touch sensor, which is «stop device», where to touch him. This method of disconnection can be realized in the USB-devices, SD-cards, mobile phones, Media, gaming consoles, etc. On the one hand, this feature can be very convenient for those who forget the need to «stop» before retrieving. On the other hand, due to the fact that the sensor should respond and the random clicking, deactivation may occur without the actual extraction of the device.
