  • Computing device and power supply method of connection module
    Patent number: 9235246
    Abstract: The disclosure discloses a computing device including a connection module, a processing unit and a logic expansion unit, and a power supply method of a connection module. The connection module includes a detection unit and a power switch. The detection unit is configured to detect whether the connection module is connected with an external peripheral device, and to generate a detection signal. The power switch is configured to receive a power switching signal and to provide a rated voltage to the connection module according to the power switching signal. The processing unit and the logic expansion unit are coupled to each other. When the computing device is at a normal mode, the processing unit is configured to provide the power switching signal, acquires a connection status between the connection module and the external peripheral device, and to control the logic expansion unit to record the connection status.
