Abstract
An electronic device and method are provided. The electronic device includes a first connector including first conductive pins arranged according to a first protocol, a second connector including second conductive pins arranged according to a second protocol and different in number, and a control circuit operatively coupled to the first and second connector. The control circuit detects coupling to an external device through the first connector by at least one of the first conductive pins, receives profile information including at least one of: a power supply device operatively coupled to the second connector and identification information for an external device, and sets a charging path within the electronic device between the first connector and the second connector using at least one of the first conductive pins and the at least one of the second conductive pins coupled to the power supply device.
