Abstract:
An electronic apparatus according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may include an input/output interface, the mode of which can be changed to a data communication mode or a charging mode. An electronic apparatus according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may include: a connector to which an external electronic apparatus having an interface that can be connected to an input/output interface is connected; a power supply unit for supplying power to the external electronic apparatus through a power supply line connected to the connector; a host controller for controlling data transmission from and to the external electronic apparatus; and a mode controlling unit for measuring electric current flowing through the power supply line, changing an operation mode on the basis of a result obtained by comparing the electric current value with a reference value, and controlling operations of the power supply unit and the host controller according to the operation mode.
