Abstract: An electronic system includes a first electronic device and a second electronic device. The first electronic device includes a monitoring chip and a hub chip. The monitoring chip is coupled to an upstream port of the hub chip through a first connection and is coupled to the hub chip through a second connection. The second electronic device is configured to couple a downstream port of the hub chip. The monitoring chip is configured to acquire connection information of the second electronic device through the first connection, and acquire status information of the second electronic device through the second connection. The first electronic device is configured to control at least one third electronic device according to the connection information and the status information.

Abstract: A USB control circuit of a USB hub device includes: an upstream MAC-layer circuit; a downstream MAC-layer circuit; a first USB PHY-layer circuit; a second USB PHY-layer circuit; a first switch circuit for communicating data with an upstream port through the first USB PHY-layer circuit; a second switch circuit for communicating data with a downstream port through the second USB PHY-layer circuit; a control signal transmission interface; a signal repeater circuit; and a control unit configured to operably control the first switch circuit and the second switch circuit through the control signal transmission interface, so that the first switch circuit selectively couples the upstream MAC-layer circuit or the signal repeater circuit with the first USB PHY-layer circuit, while the second switch circuit selectively couples the downstream MAC-layer circuit or the signal repeater circuit with the second USB PHY-layer circuit.
