Abstract
An apparatus and method for recognizing whether a medium is inserted into or removed from a hot-plug apparatus and generating a hot-plug signal are provided. The hot-plug signal generation apparatus includes a medium insertion unit, which receives a medium and generates a sensor signal when the medium is inserted or removed; a medium control unit which controls the received medium and generates the hot-plug signal; and a switch which outputs the hot-plug signal in response to the sensor signal generated by the medium insertion unit.
Claims16
An apparatus for generating a hot-plug signal comprising:
- a medium insertion/removal sensing unit which senses when a medium is inserted or removed;
- and
- a hot-plug signal control unit which outputs a hot-plug signal when the medium insertion/removal sensing unit senses that the medium is inserted or removed.
An apparatus for generating a hot-plug signal comprising:
- a medium insertion unit, which receives a medium and generates a sensor signal when the medium is inserted or removed;
- a medium control unit which controls the received medium and generates a hot-plug signal;
- and
- a switch which outputs the hot-plug signal in response to the sensor signal generated by the medium insertion unit.
A method for generating a hot-plug signal comprising:
- (a) sensing when a medium is inserted or removed;
- and
- (b) controlling a hot-plug signal output so that the hot-plug signal is output when the medium is inserted or removed.
A method for generating a hot-plug signal comprising:
- (a) generating a sensor signal when a medium is inserted or removed;
- (b) controlling the medium and generating a hot-plug signal;
- and
- (c) controlling the hot-plug signal to be output in response to the sensor signal.
A computer readable medium storing a computer program for executing a hot-plug signal generation method, the hot-plug signal generation method comprising:
- (a) sensing when a medium is inserted or removed;
- and
- (b) controlling a hot-plug signal output so that the hot-plug signal is output when the medium is inserted or removed.
A computer readable medium storing a computer program for executing a hot-plug signal generation method, the hot-plug signal generation method comprising:
- (a) generating a sensor signal by sensing whether a medium is inserted or removed;
- (b) controlling the medium and generating the hot-plug signal;
- and
- (c) controlling the hot-plug signal to be output in response to the sensor signal.
