Power interrupt system for a connector of a power supply device

A power interrupt system for a power supply device, comprising:

• a first switch configured to selectively couple a power source of the power supply device to a first electrical connector of the power supply device;
• a second switch configured to selectively couple the power source of the power supply device to a second electrical connector of the power supply device;
• and
• a processing circuit configured to:
• activate the first switch in response to receiving a first signal to couple the power source to the first electrical connector such that first energy from the power source is provided to the first electrical connector to facilitate at least one of charging and powering a first electronic device coupled to the first electrical connector;
• deactivate the first switch in response to receiving a second signal to decouple the power source from the first electrical connector such that the first energy is not provided to the first electrical connector from the power source;
• and
• activate the second switch in response to receiving a third signal to couple the power source to the second electrical connector such that second energy from the power source is provided to the second electrical connector to facilitate at least one of charging and powering a second electronic device coupled to the second electrical connector.

A method for selectively providing power to electrical connectors of a power supply device, the method comprising:

• receiving, by a processing circuit, a first signal, wherein the power supply device includes at least one of (i) a first activation button configured to provide the first signal to the processing circuit in response to the first activation button being engaged by a user and (ii) a first engagement sensor configured to provide the first signal to the processing circuit in response to a first electronic device being coupled to a first electrical connector;
• activating, by the processing circuit, a first switch in response to receiving the first signal, wherein activating the first switch couples a power source to the first electrical connector such that first energy from the power source is provided to the first electrical connector to facilitate at least one of charging and powering the first electronic device coupled to the first electrical connector;
• receiving, by the processing circuit, a second signal, wherein the power supply device includes at least one of (i) a second activation button configured to provide the second signal to the processing circuit in response to the second activation button being engaged by the user and (ii) a second engagement sensor configured to provide the second signal to the processing circuit in response to a second electronic device being coupled to a second electrical connector;
• activating, by the processing circuit, a second switch in response to receiving the second signal, wherein activating the second switch couples the power source to the second electrical connector such that second energy from the power source is provided to the second electrical connector to facilitate at least one of charging and powering the second electronic device coupled to the second electrical connector;
• receiving, by the processing circuit, a third signal, wherein at least one of (i) the first activation button is configured to provide the third signal to the processing circuit in response to the first activation button being disengaged by the user, (ii) the power supply device includes a current sensor configured to provide the third signal to the processing circuit in response to no current being drawn from the first electrical connector, (iii) the power supply device includes a disengagement sensor configured to provide the third signal to the processing circuit in response to the first electronic device being decoupled from the first electrical connector, and (iv) the processing circuit is configured to start a timer in response to activating the first switch, the timer configured to provide the third signal to the processing circuit in response to the timer reaching a threshold elapsed time;
• and
• deactivating, by the processing circuit, the first switch in response to receiving the third signal, wherein deactivating the first switch decouples the power source from the first electrical connector such that the first energy is not provided to the first electrical connector from the power source.
