Patent ID: 11101607

Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a connector for coupling a first electronic device and a second electronic device with a power source to enable the power source to provide a current to the first electronic device and the second electronic device, the connector includes: a first connector component; a second connector component; a third connector component; a power line coupled with the first connector component, the second connector component, and the third connector component; a first data line; and a signal switching circuit, configured to: detect whether the third connector component is coupled with the power source; control the first connector component and the second connector component to be coupled when it is not detected that the third connector component is coupled with the power source; and when it is detected that the third connector component is coupled with the power source: control the first connector component and the third connector component to be coupled, to send a power source connection message to the first electronic device via the first data line; or control the second connector component and the third connector component to be coupled, to send a power source connection message to the second electronic device via the first data line.
