Abstract
An electronic device includes an amplifier, a signal conversion unit configured to include at least one photodiode, in response to an optical signal being received from an external device, convert the received optical signal into an electric signal by using the at least one photodiode and output the electric signal, and a processor configured to control to supply power to the amplifier in response to the electric signal being received from the signal conversion unit, wherein the amplifier, in response to the power being supplied, receives the electric signal from the signal conversion unit, amplifies the received electric signal and outputs the amplified electric signal to the processor.
Claims12
An electronic device, comprising:
- an amplifier;
- a signal conversion unit including at least one photodiode, the signal conversion unit being configured to, in response to at least one optical signal that is received from an external device, convert one of the received at least one optical signal into a first electric signal using the at least one photodiode and output the first electric signal;
- and
- a processor configured to receive the first electric signal output from the signal conversion unit and to control to supply power to the amplifier in response to the first electric signal being received from the signal conversion unit,
- wherein the amplifier, in response to the power being supplied to the amplifier, is configured to receive a second electric signal output from the signal conversion unit, amplify the received second electric signal and output the amplified second electric signal to the processor.
A method for controlling an electronic device, comprising:
- converting an optical signal received from an external device into a first electric signal and outputting the first electric signal by a signal conversion unit;
- supplying power to an amplifier in response to the first electric signal being output from the signal conversion unit;
- and
- receiving a second electric signal output from the signal conversion unit and amplifying and outputting the received second electric signal by the amplifier to which the power is supplied.
