Abstract: Management methods for use in an electronic system having electronic devices and a host device in a daisy-chain configuration are provided. The Management method includes determining that the electronic system has a first connected combination when detecting that first electronic device and second electronic device have been connected with the host device; searching for a first set of software that are suitable for a combination of the first and second electronic devices according to the first connected combination; and installing or activating the first set of software that are suitable for a combination of the first and second electronic devices.

Abstract: Management methods for use in an electronic system having electronic devices and a host device in daisy-chain configuration are provided. The host device has a configuration setting. First, an arrangement sequence among the host device and the electronic devices is detected. Then, the configuration setting of the host device is adjusted according to the detected arrangement sequence of the host device and the electronic devices such that the host device uses the electronic devices to perform a specific operation corresponding to the detected arrangement sequence.

Abstract: An electric device with multiple data connection ports is provided. The electric device includes a body, a processing unit, and a detecting switch unit. The body includes M surfaces and N data connection ports disposed on the surfaces. The processing unit includes a first interface control unit and a second interface control unit. The detecting switch unit detects whether the data connection ports are connected. While detecting the ith and the jth data connection ports are connected, the detecting switch unit assigns the ith and the jth data connection ports to be controlled by the first interface control unit and the second interface control unit respectively, and disables the data connection ports other than the ith and the jth data connection ports. Thus, the electric device can connect to the other electric devices with the form of the data connection ports flexibility.
