Connector device having counter thereof
First Claim
1. A connector device having a counter thereof, comprising:
- a connector for receiving a power signal every time the connector is plugged into an electrified device;
a micro control unit for outputting data, clock, and drive signals after receiving the power signal from the connector;
an encoder for receiving and encoding the drive signal from the micro control unit, and then outputting encoded signals;
a display drive unit for counting number of times the connector has been plugged-in, the number of times adding one every time the display drive unit receiving the data and clock signals from the micro control unit; and
a display unit displaying the number of times the connector has been plugged-in, after the display drive unit receiving the encoded signals from the encoder.

Abstract
A connector device having a counter thereof includes a connector, a micro control unit, an encoder, a display drive unit, and a display unit. The connector provides a power signal to the micro control unit when plugged an electrified device. The micro control unit outputs data and clock signals to the display drive unit to make the display drive unit count plug-in times of the connector, and also outputs a drive signal to the encoder after receiving the power signal. The encoder encodes the drive signal and outputs corresponding signals to the display drive unit to make the display drive unit control the display unit to display a count of plug-in times of the connector.

8. A connector device comprising:
-
a connector receiving a power signal every time the connector is plugged into an electrified device; a micro control unit electrically connected to the connector; an encoder electrically coupled to the micro control unit; a plurality of shift-registers electrically coupled to both the micro control unit and the encoder; and a plurality of indicators electrically connected to the shift-registers; wherein the micro control unit outputs data and clock signals to the shift-registers after receiving the power signal from the connector to make the shift-registers count plug-in times;
the micro control unit also outputs drive signals to the encoder, and the encoder outputs encoded signals to the shift-registers after receiving the drive signal to make the indicators display the number of times the connector has been plugged-in. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12)
