A docking station and a control method thereof are provided. The docking station includes a first USB interface, a second USB interface, a video signal output terminal, a microcontroller, a first signal multiplexer, a second signal multiplexer, a video signal processor, and a video signal converter. The microcontroller determines whether the first USB interface or the second USB interface is connected to an electronic device. When the first USB interface is connected to the electronic device, the microcontroller sets the first USB interface as an uplink port. The uplink port receives a signal from the electronic device, and selects and outputs a video signal through the signal. The video signal processor is configured to receive and process the video signal. The video signal converter converts the video signal into a video output signal that is capable of being output to the video signal output terminal for playing.

Preventing protective case from turning off screen by mistake on terminal using Hall effect sensor
11579657 · 2023-02-14 · ·

The present invention provides a terminal control method, a protective case, and a terminal. In the method, a terminal may be disposed with two Hall effect sensors for sensing a change of a magnetic field generated by a magnet in a protective case, and identify a forward snap-fit operation, an opening operation, a backward snap-fit operation, and the like of the protective case. When detecting the forward snap-fit operation of the protective case, the terminal performs a screen off operation; or when detecting the backward snap-fit operation of the protective case, the terminal may skip performing screen off operation. In embodiments of the present invention, the protective case can be prevented from turning off a screen by mistake, so as to improve terminal control accuracy.
