Abstract:
An apparatus to control an external device includes a connector to electrically connect with the external device, a connection detector to determine whether the external device is electrically connected to the connector, and a controller to obtain level information corresponding to the external device from the connector, to determine a type of the external device based on the level information, and to control execution of a function of the apparatus based on the determined type, wherein the level information is different according to the type of the external device

Claim (Index 1):
An apparatus to control an external device, comprising:\n a connector configured to electrically connect with the external device; a detector configured to determine whether the external device is electrically connected to the connector; a controller configured to obtain voltage level information corresponding to the external device from the connector and determine a type of the external device based on the voltage level information, wherein the voltage level information is different according to the type of the external device; and an external device controller configured to enable the external device automatically based on the type of the external device when the external device is electrically connected, wherein the detector determines whether the external device is electrically connected to the connector based on a status of a switch end of the connector.
