Various embodiments of the present invention relate to an electronic device and a charging control method therefor. The electronic device may comprise: a connection terminal for performing wired communication with an external electronic device; and at least one processor functionally connected to the connection terminal, wherein the at least one processor detects connection of a charging device through the connection terminal, receives state information of at least one adjacent terminal located next to a power terminal of the connection terminal, and controls charging power to be supplied thereto through the charging device, on the basis of the received state information of the adjacent terminal. In addition, various other embodiments are possible.

Electronic device and charging control method therefor

An electronic device according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises: a universal serial bus (USB) interface; a processor electrically connected to the USB interface; and a memory electrically connected to the processor, wherein the memory may store instructions configured to, when executed, cause the processor to: enter a security mode; in the security mode, receive, from an external device connected to the electronic device via the USB interface, a USB class code corresponding to the external device; determine whether the USB class code is included in a white list of connectable devices allowed to be connected to the electronic device in the security mode; and control a communication connection between the external device and the electronic device according to whether the USB class code is included in the white list. Other embodiments are also possible.

Method for establishing connection to external device via USB interface, and electronic device therefor

An electronic device and a method for sensing moisture in an electronic device are provided. The method for sensing moisture in an electronic device includes sensing moisture introduced into a connector of the electronic device in a state where one or more functions executable by connection of the connector with an external electronic device are activated. Further, the method includes deactivating the one or more functions based on the sensing; determining whether the introduced moisture is removed in a state where the one or more functions are deactivated; and activating the one or more functions if the moisture is removed.

Electronic device and method for sensing moisture in an electronic device

Electronic devices according to various embodiments of the present invention comprise: a connector for communicating serial data to an external electronic device; a nonvolatile memory; and a processor, wherein the processor is configured to: acquire identification information of the external electronic device via the connector; confirm whether or not a designated mode of the external electronic device is supported at least on the basis of the identification information; based on the identification that the external electronic device supports the designated mode, acquire first additional information associated with the external electronic device; based on the identification that the external electronic device does not support the designated mode, acquire second additional information associated with the external electronic device; and store the identification information or at least a part of the second additional information in the nonvolatile memory.
