  • Patent number: 12242313
    Abstract: A system determines a current state of an information handling system, and receives a sensor output signal. The system determines whether a status change of the sensor output signal relates to an expected state based on the current state and a previous state of the information handling system, and determines whether the sensor output signal is triggered by an external magnet. If the status change of the sensor output signal relates to the expected state and the sensor output signal is not triggered by the external magnet, then the system transitions the information handling system from the current state to the expected state.

  • Patent number: 12224659
    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. The safety function control circuit includes a first control module and a second control module for constant voltage control. The first control module and the second control module perform matching control on a power conversion circuit of the charging device, and in case of a single fault of one of the control modules, the other module is still capable of keeping the converted voltage value to be less than the safe voltage value. Thus, it is ensured that the safe mode stays functional in case of a concurrency of both a single hardware fault and a single firmware fault.
