Electronic device and system and method thereof for identifying electronic accessory and controlling electronic device

摘要

An electronic device connectable with an electronic accessory according to the present disclosure is provided. The electronic device includes a jack, a data signal transceiving unit, a measuring unit, a switching unit and a processing unit. The jack is adapted to receive an insertion of a plug of the electronic accessory and has a first contact terminal adapted to be in contact with a first contact of the plug. The data signal transceiving unit is adapted to transmit to or receive from the electronic accessory a data signal through the first contact terminal of the jack. The measuring unit is adapted to measure a parameter resulted from the contact of the first contact terminal of the jack with the first contact of the plug through the first contact terminal when the plug is inserted into the jack. The switching unit is adapted to selectively connect the first contact terminal of the jack electrically to the data signal transceiving unit or the measuring unit. The processing unit executes a corresponding function according to the measured parameter when the measured parameter has a first predetermined value.
