Patent attributes
A detecting device is used to detect the connection of an electronic device. The detecting device includes a circuit board and a connector module. The circuit board includes a power terminal and a signal processing unit. The connector module includes a body and a detecting member. The body has a connecting port and a connecting sidewall. The detecting member is disposed on the connecting sidewall and electrically connected to the power terminal and the signal processing unit, and it has a potential. When a plug of the electronic device is connected to the connecting port, the plug contacts the detecting member to change the potential. The change of the potential is detected by the signal processing unit such that the connection between the electronic device and the connector module is confirmed.
