Abstract:
An electronic device and method for transmitting information on a barcode by using an infrared Light Emitting Diode (LED) are provided. The method includes transforming a displayed barcode into a binary code, and lighting ON/OFF an infrared LED according to set order based on the binary code.
Abstract:
A method of controlling a plurality of input/output (I/O) device is provided. The method includes acquiring an input through an electronic device that includes an exterior, on which no substantially visible hole is formed, determining situation information for a user who handles the electronic device, performing input/output through a first I/O device disposed in a first area of the electronic device when the situation information is first situation information in response to an input, and performing input/output through a second I/O device disposed in a second area of the electronic device when the situation information is second situation information in response to an input.
Abstract:
An electronic device and method and power supply are disclosed. The electronic device includes comprising a connector for electrically coupling with an external power supply unit, and a processor. The processor implements the method, which includes detecting a connection state with the external power supply unit, and detecting whether power supplied from the external power supply unit is abnormal, and controlling the power when the power supplied has an abnormal value. The power supply may include a connector for electrically coupling with an electronic device, and a processor for detecting a connection state with the electronic device, detecting whether power supplied to the electronic device by the power supply unit has an abnormal value, and controlling the supplied power when the power is abnormal.
