Referring to fig. 5 and 6, in the present embodiment, the processing module 10 may include a video data processing module, an audio data processing module, a graphic data processing module, and a current processing module. The power supply module 30 may be connected to the current processing module, and the data detection module 320 may be connected to the video data processing module, the audio data processing module, and the image-text data processing module, respectively. Therefore, data such as current, video, audio, and graphics can be processed conveniently through the processing module 10, and each data processing module can be responsible for operations such as interpretation, transcoding, and distribution of data such as video, audio, and graphics at the same time.

In this embodiment, the second detection signal includes a second connection signal and a second non-connection signal, when the monitoring module 30 monitors that the peripheral device 2 is connected and needs to transmit the output current, the current detection module 310 generates the second connection signal according to the connection signal, and when the monitoring module 30 monitors that the peripheral device 2 is not connected, the current detection module 310 generates the second non-connection signal according to the non-connection signal; the power supply control module 50 controls the power supply module 40 to continuously transmit the output current to the processing module 10 according to the second connection signal, and the power supply control module 40 controls the power supply module 40 to interrupt the transmission of the output current to the processing module 10 according to the disconnection signal.
In some examples, when the monitoring module 30 monitors that any one or more of the plurality of peripheral interfaces 70 is connected to the peripheral device 2, the incoming signal to be generated is fed back to the current detection module 310 and the data detection module 320, and the current detection module 310 and the data detection module 320 further control the transmission of current and data according to the detection result.

The monitoring module 30 may monitor connection states of the first peripheral interface 710, the second peripheral interface 720 and the third peripheral interface, respectively, and generate corresponding access signals or non-access signals. Under the condition, the connection state of each peripheral interface can be conveniently and respectively monitored, and meanwhile, the power consumption of the peripheral interfaces which are not connected with the peripheral equipment and the corresponding processing modules is only reduced, so that the power consumption of the docking station can be further reduced.
The above provides an example with three peripheral interfaces and corresponding three types of processing modules, but is not limited thereto. Specifically referring to fig. 4, the peripheral interface 70 may include a first peripheral interface, a second peripheral interface 720 \8230, an nth peripheral interface 7n0, and the like, and the data processing module 10 may include a first data processing module 111, a second data processing module 112 \8230, an nth data processing module 11n, and the like, and correspondingly, the peripheral device 2 may include a first peripheral device 21, a second peripheral device 22 \8230, an nth peripheral device 2n, and the like. In this case, the detection module 20 may monitor the connection status of each of the N peripheral interfaces, and generate a corresponding access signal Y or non-access signal N. For example, access signal Y1 or unaccess signal N1 \8230, and/or access signal Yn or unaccess signal Nn may be generated when the connection state of the first peripheral interface 710 and the first peripheral device 21 is monitored, and the connection state of the nth peripheral interface 710 and the nth peripheral device 21 is monitored, which are not illustrated herein.
