  • Publication number: 20200210266
    Abstract: A universal serial bus (USB) docking apparatus and an error detecting method thereof are provided. The USB docking apparatus includes a connection port and a charging controller. The connection port is configured to connect an external electrical device electrically. The charging controller is electrically connected to the connection port to receive a pin-configuration signal and decides to execute a first power transition mode or a second power transition mode based on the pin-configuration signal. The charging controller decides to execute the first power transition mode and counts a first suspending time, wherein when the first suspending tine is larger than or equal to a threshold time value, the charging controller switches the first power transition mode to the second power transition mode.

  • Patent number: 9516405
    Abstract: A multimedia playing system is provided. A portable electronic device includes a first dock port, a second dock port, a power module, an audio processor and a controller. When a first single-ear wireless earphone connects with the first dock port, the power module charges the first single-ear wireless earphone via the first dock port. When a second single-ear wireless earphone connects with the second dock port, the power module charges the second single-ear wireless earphone via the second dock port. The audio processor provides a left sound channel signal and a right sound channel signal. When the first single-ear wireless earphone separates from the first dock port, the controller provides one of the left sound channel signal and the right sound channel signal to the first single-ear wireless earphone according to a relative position between the first dock port and a user.

  • Publication number: 20150326969
    Abstract: A multimedia playing system is provided. The multimedia playing system includes an earbud-type wireless earphone and a portable electronic device. The earbud-type wireless earphone includes a temperature sensor. The portable electronic device includes a dock port, a wireless module, an audio processor, and a controller. The wireless module receives temperature data from the temperature sensor of the earbud-type wireless earphone. The audio processor provides a first sound channel signal and a second sound channel signal. The controller provides one of the first sound channel signal and the second sound channel signal to the earbud-type wireless earphone according to the temperature data when the earbud-type wireless earphone is separated from the dock port.

  • Publication number: 20140117766
    Abstract: A electronic device and a power supplying method thereof are provided. The device includes a system unit, an internal power supplying unit and a power controller. The internal power supplying unit is coupled to the system unit, and supplies a system voltage to the system unit. The power controller is coupled to the system unit and the internal power supplying unit, and determines a source of the external voltage according to a voltage value of the external voltage. When the power controller determines that the source of the external voltage is a mobile power supply device, the power controller provides the external voltage to the system unit, and does not charge the internal power supplying unit with the external voltage. The voltage value of the external voltage provided by the mobile power supply device is higher than the voltage value of the system voltage.
