Abstract
There is provided an information processing device including a voltage detection unit configured to monitor a voltage value of a signal output at a predetermined timing, and a signal control unit configured to stop output of the signal if the voltage value after a predetermined time elapses from when the voltage value detected by the voltage detection unit exceeds a first value does not exceed a second value greater than the first value.
Claims21
An electronic device comprising:
- circuitry configured to
- perform polling by a connection detection signal output to a connector being connected to a peripheral device, the connector complying with USB Type-C standard and having a plurality of terminals including CC terminals, SBU terminals and GND terminals;
- measure a voltage value of a signal output to at least one terminal of the connector at a predetermined timing;
- determine that the measured voltage value of a first terminal of the connector satisfies a first predetermined condition and the measured voltage value of a second terminal of the connector satisfies a second predetermined condition;
- determine whether liquid is attached to the connector based on the measured voltage value of at least one terminal of the plurality of terminals other than the GND terminals, wherein the circuitry determines that the liquid is attached to the connector, in response to determination that the measured voltage value of the first terminal of the at least two terminals of the connector satisfies the first predetermined condition and the measured voltage value of the second terminal of the at least two terminals of the connector satisfies the second predetermined condition;
- and
- stop the connection detection signal output to the connector, in response to determination that the liquid is attached to the connector.
