Portable device having plug detector and control method of detecting the portable device
First Claim
1. A portable device having plug detector, the portable device being used for electrically connecting to a first connector of a host system where the first connector comprises an actuator, the portable device comprising:
- a second connector for plugging into the first connector such that the portable device is electrically connected to the host system, the second connector comprising a data pin;
a reciprocating plug detector configured at the second connector for being pushed by the actuator and for generating a control signal when the actuator stops pushing the reciprocating detector, the reciprocating plug detector distancing the data pin along a first direction from no less than 3.2 mm; and
a controller electrically connected to the reciprocating plug detector for performing a command when receiving the control signal generated by the reciprocating plug detector.

Abstract
A reciprocating plug detector is configured at the connector of a portable device and is pushed to generate a control signal when the portable device is plugged into a host system. A controller of the portable device then performs a command when receiving the control signal. When the portable device is unplugged from the host system, the reciprocating plug detector may also be used for generating the control signal and before the portable device totally leaves the host system, the controller performs other pre-defined command during these few milliseconds. The portable device is implemented with a variety of computer controllability and provided with power-failure protection for data.
