Electronic device and external device charging method
First Claim
1. An electronic device comprising:
- a connector that connects with an external electronic device, wherein the connector includes a first pin and a second pin and provides connections using a first protocol and a second protocol;
a plug that connects with an external power source;
a power supply circuit configured to supply power to the external electronic device through the connector;
a first charging module configured to control a charging voltage and a charging current of the power supply circuit based on charging request information received through the first pin including a D+ pin or a D−
pin of the connector;
a second charging module configured to receive second protocol-related charging request information from the external electronic device through the second pin including a CC1 pin or a CC2 pin of the connector;
a switch connected between the first charging module and the first pin; and
a processor configured to, in response to the second-protocol related charging request information;
convert the second protocol-related charging request information to first protocol-related charging request information,transmit the converted first protocol-related charging request information to the first charging module, anddisconnect a path between the first charging module and the first pin using the switch,wherein, when a first charging voltage and a first charging current included in the converted first protocol-related charging request information does not match with a first list including voltages and currents for the first protocol, the first charging module converts the first charging voltage and the first charging current to a second charging voltage and a second charging current corresponding to the first list using mapping information between the first list and a second list, andwherein the second list includes voltages and currents for the second protocol.

5. A charging method of an electronic device connected with an external electronic device through a connector, the method comprising:
-
receiving, by a second charging module, second protocol-related charging request information from the external electronic device through a second pin including a CC1 pin or a CC2 pin of the connector; converting the second protocol-related charging request information to first protocol-related charging request information; changing, by a first charging module, a charging voltage or a charging current of a power supply circuit based on the converted first protocol-related charging request information; disconnecting, in response to the second protocol-related charging request information, a path between the first charging module and a first pin including a D+ pin or a D−
pin of the connector using a switch of the electronic device; andsupplying, by the power supply circuit, power to the external electronic device through the connector based on the changed charging voltage or charging current, wherein the connector provides connections using the first protocol and the second protocol, wherein, when a first charging voltage and a first charging current included in the converted first protocol-related charging request information does not match with a first list including voltages and currents for the first protocol, the first charging module converts the first charging voltage and the first charging current to a second charging voltage and a second charging current corresponding to the first list using mapping information between the first list and a second list, and wherein the second list includes voltages and currents for the second protocol. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7)
