Abstract: A charging device and a safety function control circuit and method thereof are provided. When a charging device is not connected to a load, a converted voltage value of a power connection terminal of the charging device is kept to be lower than a safe voltage value so as to maintain a safe mode.

Abstract: An emotion detecting device includes a memory, a processor and an output/input device. An emotion template with a plurality of emotional statuses is stored in the memory. The processor is configured to receive characteristic values transformed from brain waves of a pet and determine whether the brain waves correspond to a stable state based on variation of the characteristic values during a period.

When the brain waves match the emotional status, the output/input device outputs information regarding the pet being in the emotional status. When the brain waves do not match any of the emotional statuses in the emotion template, the processor updates the emotion template based on a confirm operation and the characteristic values.
