Abstract
A system and method for monitoring an offline state of an electronic device includes a dock and the electronic device. The dock includes a connection pin. The electronic device includes a connection port and an embedded controller, wherein a GPIO pin of the embedded controller is coupled to the connection port, the connection port is coupled to the connection pin, and the GPIO pin detects whether the connection port is in a first or second potential state. The connection port is in the first potential state in an online state, and is in the second potential state in an offline state. The embedded controller counts the number of signal transmissions by a second frequency, until the embedded controller detects that the connection port is in the online state. The embedded controller calculates an interrupt period according to the number of signal transmissions and the second frequency.
