ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND CABLE AND METHOD OF DRIVING THE SAME
First Claim
1. A cable configured to transmit data and power, the cable comprising:
- a notification device comprising notification circuitry configured to output a notification, when the power is transmitted;
a first connector positioned at one end of the cable;
a second connector positioned at an other end of the cable;
a wire structure connecting the first and second connectors and comprising a data line configured to transmit the data and a power line configured to transmit the power; and
a cable controller connected to the power line and configured to identify a characteristic of power transmitted through the power line and to change a form of the notification output from the notification device based on the identified power characteristic.
