摘要: Embodiments of the invention provide a power supply control method and a monitor system capable of executing the power supply control method. The monitor system includes a base station, an image capture apparatus, and a processor. The base station includes a charging apparatus including a power supply connector and a power source coupled to the power supply connector and outputting power through the power supply connector. The image capture apparatus shoots the power supply connector to obtain a shot image. The processor determines a foreign object distribution on the power supply connector according to the shot image and sends a warning message according to the foreign object distribution. The foreign object distribution relates to foreign objects formed on the power supply connector. Accordingly, whether a charging mechanism fails can be automatically determined and notification and/or compensation may be performed when the charging mechanism fails.
