Abstract
An adapter cable includes a first adapter, a second adapter, and a wire. The first adapter includes a sensor, a light source, and a processor. The sensor generates a detecting signal when sensing that the first adapter is picked up. The processor is connected between the sensor and the light source. The processor turns on the light source when receiving the detecting signal output from the sensor. The wire is connected between the first adapter and the second adapter.
Claims7
An adapter cable, comprising:
- a first adapter comprising:
- a sensor configured for generating a detecting signal when sensing that the first adapter is picked up;
- a first light source;
- and
- a processor connected between the sensor and the first light source, the processor turning on the first light source when receiving the detecting signal output from the sensor;
- a second adapter;
- and
- a wire connected between the first adapter and the second adapter;
- wherein the sensor generates the detecting signal on the condition that the sensor senses that the first adapter is held by a user, and the sensor is selected from one of the group consisting of an electromagnetic induction coil, a pressure sensor, and an inductive proximity switch.
