Abstract

An electronic device includes a peripheral interface, a sensor, a monitor, and an unload module. The peripheral interface is used for attaching an external device to the electronic device. The sensor detects the presence of an object in a predetermined area, and generates a sensing signal when it detects the object. The monitor module generates an unloading instruction responding to the sensing signal. The unload module unloads the external equipment according to the unloading instruction. Therefore, the electronic device can unload the external device when a user's hand approaches the sensor. It does not rely on manual controlling operations through a keyboard or a mouse, and provides users with convenience. A method for unloading the external device is also provided.

By using the above electronic device and the method for uninstalling the external device, the user can close the sensing device to complete the unloading action of the external device, eliminating the manual unloading operation by the keyboard and the mouse, and providing the user with the convenience of the operation of β. . [Embodiment] ▲ As shown in Fig. 1, it is a functional block diagram of an electronic device 1A of a preferred embodiment. The electronic device 100 includes a peripheral interface 11A, a sensing device UO, a monitoring module 13A, and an unloading module 14A. The peripheral interface 110 is used to connect to an external device 5A. The sensing device 120 is an infrared sensor for detecting whether an object exists within a predetermined range and generating an inductive signal when an object is detected. In this embodiment, the infrared sensor can be installed at any position of the electronic device, and the 200945041 is installed on the host, the display, or the keyboard. The sensing range of the sensing device i2〇 should not be too large to prevent misoperation. Generally, the sensing range is within ten Dong meters. In this embodiment, it is five meters. When using the device (4) five Dongmi Fan Park, it is judged that the user wants to remove the plug in the = interface. External device 50 on 110. The sensing device 12A can also be other forms of proximity sensors or touch sensors. Monitoring module! 30 is configured to issue an unloading command to the unloading module 140 in response to the inductive signal generated by the sensing device 12?.卸载 The offload module 14 is configured to offload the external device 50 connected to the peripheral interface 110 in response to the uninstall command. The action of uninstalling the external device 5 includes, for example, releasing the address of the external device 50 buffered and allocated, stopping the power supply to the external device 5, unloading the driver, and the like. The advantage of this is that the user's hand only needs to approach the sensing device, and the electronic device can automatically perform the operation of uninstalling the external device, eliminating the traditional operation of unloading by the mouse keyboard, which is simple and convenient. Please refer to FIG. 2 , which is a schematic structural diagram of the electronic device 100 . In order to better provide the user with operational convenience, the sensing device 120 is disposed close to the peripheral interface 110. In this way, when the user reaches out to remove the device 5, the user's hand must first approach the sensing device 120, so that the user can complete the uninstalling operation before the user removes the external device 50, thereby preventing the user from forgetting to uninstall the external device before pulling out the device 50. 5〇, the security risks brought to electronic devices and external devices 50. Since the user is close to the peripheral device 110, there are two cases, one is to insert the external device 50, and the other is to uninstall the external device. In order to avoid the user 9 200945041, it is desirable to insert the external device 50 to be mistaken for unloading and perform an unnecessary unloading action. In another embodiment, the monitoring module 130 is further configured to detect whether the external device 50 is present, and send an uninstall command to the uninstall module 14 when the external device 5 is present and receives the sensing signal. Further, in order to avoid the meaningless operation of the sensing device when there is no external device 5, in other embodiments, the I of the sensing device is activated based on the detection module 130 detecting that the external device 5 is present, so as to prevent the user from inserting the external device. Device 50 is mistaken for the possibility of unloading. As shown in Fig. 3, the method for unloading an external device of the preferred embodiment includes the following steps: Step S301' detects the presence of an object within a preset range and generates an inductive signal when an object is detected. This detection action is achieved using a proximity infrared sensor. In addition to step S303, an unloading command is issued in response to the sensing signal. The step is 5, and the external device connected to the foreign language of the electronic device is uninstalled in response to the uninstallation instruction; For example, release the external commission cache and allocation address, stop the power supply to the external device, uninstall the driver, and so on. 4' Others (4) The external device (4) includes: detection ^ ^Up ^Continuous external device, light check _ there is an external device 犄, respond to the sensing signal to issue an unload command, see step 4. Refer to Figure 5 for other unloading external numbers for the :::: surface: Connect an external device and start the detection action when detecting the presence of the Si port. See step 5W. Please refer to FIG. 6. Other methods for uninstalling the external device include: detecting whether the external device is being transmitted before uninstalling the external device in 200945041. When the data is being transmitted, the dialog box can be popped up and J = whether the user aborts the data. Transfer, see step _, :;: directly terminate the data transfer of the external device. Also fly to the following: After the completion of the load, the pop-up indicates that the external device has been able to unplug the device, and the user interface is added. ^ knowing the above method for unloading the external device by means of sensing the unloading action of the external device, eliminating the need for the keyboard and mouse step unloading operation, providing the user with operational convenience.夕 [Simple description of the drawings] 2: The functional module diagram of the electronic device of the preferred embodiment. 2 is a schematic structural view of an electronic device.
