Abstract
A charging method for an electronic device having a charging unit and a connection interface unit and the electronic device are provided. The connection interface unit is externally connected to a peripheral device. The charging method includes: detecting a signal level between the charging unit and the connection interface unit; and when a time period that the detected signal level keeps on a particular level is over a threshold, resetting the connection interface unit, so as to restart a charging function of the electronic device for the peripheral device.
Claims12
A charging method for an electronic device having a charging unit and a connection interface unit, wherein the charging unit is coupled to the connection interface unit, and the connection interface unit is externally connected to a peripheral device, the charging method comprising:
- detecting a signal level between the charging unit and the connection interface unit;
- and
- when a time period that the detected signal level keeps on a particular level is over a threshold, resetting the connection interface unit, so as to restart a charging function of the electronic device for the peripheral device.
An electronic device comprising:
- a connection interface unit coupled to a peripheral device;
- a charging unit coupled to the connection interface unit;
- and
- a charge control module coupled to the connection interface unit and the charging unit,
- wherein the charge control module is configured to detect a signal level between the charging unit and the connection interface unit,
- when a time period that the detected signal level keeps on a particular level is over a threshold, the charge control module resets the connection interface unit, so as to restart a charging function of the electronic device for the peripheral device.
