Reporting connection failure

Abstract

A connection detecting method includes detecting at least three points not in the same line on a passive component of a connector, and determining a connection status of said connector based upon detecting results of the at least three points on the passive component of the connector.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A connection detecting method, comprising:
 detecting presence of an active component of a connector received within a passive component of the connector in at least three points not in the same line on the passive component of the connector; and   determining a connection status of the connector based upon detecting results of the at least three points on the passive component of the connector.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 indicating whether there is a connection failure to the connector according to the determined connection status of the connector.   
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein detecting presence of an active component in at least three points not in the same line on the passive component of the connector, comprises:
 in response to the active component being inserted at a certain elastic sheet of the elastic sheets provided at the at least three points on the passive component respectively, the elastic sheet pops out, and is thereby detected by the pop out sensor connected with the elastic sheet.   
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein detecting presence of an active component in at least three points not in the same line on the passive component of the connector, comprises:
 in response to an active component being inserted at a certain light sensor of the light sensors provided at the at least three points on the passive component respectively, the light sensor cannot sense the light emitted by the light source.
