System and method for detecting accidental peripheral device disconnection
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A detection system for detecting a manner in which a peripheral device is removed from an electronic device, the detection system comprising:
- a detector configured to sense a type of an action during removal of the peripheral device from the electronic device, the type of action being indicative of an intentional or unintentional manner in which the peripheral device is removed; and
an output interface configured to output a signal corresponding to whether the action sensed is indicative of an intentional or unintentional manner in which the peripheral device is removed.

Abstract
A detection device for detecting the manner in which a peripheral device is removed from an electronic device is proposed. The detection device can be on the peripheral device or the electronic device and detects whether the peripheral device was removed in a manner that indicates the removal was intentional or unintentional.
