Abstract
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a connector including one or more signal terminals and a control circuit electrically connected with the one or more signal terminals. The control circuit may be configured to monitor attachment with an external device through an identification terminal among the one or more signal terminals, identify whether a designated number of, or more, monitoring signals related to attachment with the external device are detected during a designated time, and identify whether there is the attachment with the external device, based on a voltage of a power terminal among the one or more signal terminals, in response to the detection of the monitoring signals being identified.
