11. A method comprising:
-
detecting, by an interface control unit of an electronic device, a coupling of an external device to the electronic device; identifying, by the interface control unit, based on information received from the external device, a type of the coupled external device; identifying, by the interface control unit, that the external device which is coupled to the electronic device is a current detecting device, based on the information including an identification of the current detecting device; generating, by the interface control unit, a first control signal for turning off power to one or more sub-systems of the electronic device, and a second control signal for setting a first path to supply the one or more sub-systems with power from the current detecting device; and transmitting, by the interface control unit, the first control signal to the one or more sub-systems and the second control signal to one or more switches of the electronic device. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
