  • Patent number: 9326068
    Abstract: A signal connecting module, an electronic device, and a connector identification method thereof are disclosed. The signal connecting module is applied to the electronic device to electrically connect to the connector. The signal connecting module includes a connecting port, a controlling module, and a detecting module. The controlling module electrically connects to a first pin of the connecting port. When the connector connects to the connecting port, the controlling module outputs a detecting signal via the first pin to an earphone pin of the connector. The detecting module electrically connects to a second pin and a third pin of the connecting port; wherein after the controlling module outputs the detecting signal, the detecting module detects a current signal received by the second pin or the third pin to determine that the second pin or the third pin electrically connects to a ground pin of the connector.

  • Patent number: 9195346
    Abstract: A touch panel includes a light guide plate, a light emitting device, a light sensing module, and a controller. The light guide plate has a touch plane. The light emitting device applies an incident light to the light guide plate, and at least a portion of the incident light is completely reflected in the light guide plate. When an object touches the touch plane, a total internal reflection of at least a portion of the incident light at a touch point is frustrated. The light sensing module detects a wavelength of an ambient light. The controller controls the light emitting device according to the ambient light wavelength detected by the light sensing module to adjust an incident light wavelength of the incident light emitted by the light emitting device so that the incident light wavelength differs from the ambient light wavelength.
