Abstract:
An electronic apparatus is provided. The electronic apparatus includes: a plurality of USB terminals, a sensor configured to sense a current of each of the connected USB devices and output current information in response to a USB device being connected to each of the plurality of USB terminals; a controller configured to determine whether or not a predetermined condition is satisfied based on the current information output from the sensor and permissible current information related to a current that is allowed to be supplied to the plurality of USB terminals, and output a message according to a result of the determination; and an outputter configured to output the message. Accordingly, a user may connect a USB device to a certain USB terminal without having to identify a current capacity, and thus user convenience is improved.
