  • Method and apparatus for detecting electro static discharge in electronic device
    Patent number: 9653915
    Abstract: A system detects Electro Static Discharge (ESD) of an electronic device by sensing a ground voltage of an electronic device, comparing the sensed ground voltage with a predetermined reference voltage and if the sensed ground voltage exceeds the reference voltage, performs at least one predetermined operation of the electronic device.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 29, 2014
    Date of Patent: May 16, 2017
    Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.
    Inventors: Jong-Jin Baek, Shin-Wung Bang, Jong-Hyeok Youn, Kwang-Woo Lee
  • Apparatus and method for preventing malfunction
    Patent number: 9207736
    Abstract: An apparatus for preventing a malfunction of a peripheral device in a portable terminal with multiple processors includes a battery, a peripheral device electrically connected to a switch through a I/O pins, a first processor in which a control port for the peripheral device is electrically connected to the switch through the GPIO method, and which controls driving of the peripheral device through generation of a normal high signal, a second processor electrically connected to the switch through the GPIO method, and the switch driven by the battery, configured to operate such that the control port of the first processor is grounded when it is determined that an unintended high signal is generated from the second processor before the portable terminal is completely booted.
