METHOD FOR CONTROLLING POWER SUPPLY AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE IMPLEMENTING THE SAME

摘要

An electronic device for controlling a power supply is provided. The electronic device includes a power unit configured to supply power, a power management unit configured to receive a supply of power from the power unit and to distribute the supplied power, a flood sensing unit connected to the power unit and located in a part of the electronic device most subject to flooding or fluid penetration, and a power control switch configured to, if a voltage level of the flood sensing unit is a first level indicating no detected flooding or fluid penetration, electrically connect the power unit and the power management unit to each other, and if the voltage level of the flood sensing unit is a second level indicating a detected flooding or fluid penetration, interrupt an electrical connection between the power unit and the power management unit.

1. An electronic device, comprising:
a power unit configured to supply power and a signal corresponding to the power; a power management unit configured to:
receive a supply of power from the power unit, anddistribute the supplied power; a flood sensing unit connected to the power unit and located in the electronic device; and a power control switch configured to:
electrically connect the power unit and the power management unit to each other if a voltage level of the flood sensing unit is a first level as indicated by an input of a signal corresponding to the first level, andinterrupt an electrical connection between the power unit and the power management unit if the voltage level of the flood sensing unit is a second level as indicated by an input of a signal corresponding to the second level.
