Abstract
An electronic device including a jack arranged to receive a peripheral device A/V plug, the A/V plug providing an end-terminal for a peripheral device to be connected to the jack, wherein the device is arranged to detect insertion of the A/V plug, and upon detection of insertion, discriminate the functionality provided by the peripheral device.
Claims29
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code,
- the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following:
- detect insertion of a peripheral device A/V plug into a jack of an electronic device, the A/V plug providing an end-terminal for a peripheral device to be connected to the jack;
- determine the configuration details of the peripheral device upon detection of insertion, the configuration details including two or more characteristics of:
- impedance, capacitance, the presence of a short circuit and the presence of an optical signal;
- and
- discriminate the functionality provided by the peripheral device by using the two or more determined characteristics of the configuration details.
