![]() In some embodiments, a standard keyboard/mouse connector may be a standard connector used substantially exclusively for connecting keyboard units and/or mouse units to a computing platform, may not be used for connecting other devices (e.g., a scanner, a printer, a digital camera, a disk-on-key device, or the like) to a computing platform, may not be a Universal Serial Bus (USB) connector, or may be a non-USB connector. ![]() For example, in some embodiments, a standard keyboard/mouse connector may include a standard PS/2 connector, a standard mini-PS/2 connector, other PS/2-type connector, an AT connector, a XT connector, a five-pin DIN connector, or a six-pin mini-DIN connector. The term “standard keyboard/mouse connector” as used herein relates to a standard connector of an input unit (e.g., a keyboard or a mouse) able to connect to a computing platform (e.g., to a motherboard or other board or card). In some embodiments, a standard keyboard/mouse socket may be a standard socket used substantially exclusively for connecting keyboard units and/or mouse units to a computing platform, may not be used for connecting other devices (e.g., a scanner, a printer, a digital camera, a disk-on-key device, or the like) to a computing platform, may not be a Universal Serial Bus (USB) socket, or may be a non-USB socket. For example, a standard keyboard/mouse socket may include a standard PS/2 socket, a standard mini-PS/2 socket, other PS/2-type socket, an AT socket, a XT connector, a five-pin DIN socket, or a six-pin mini-DIN socket. The term “standard keyboard/mouse socket” as used herein relates to a socket in a computing platform (e.g., on a motherboard or other board or card) able to connect to standard keyboard or mouse. However, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that the invention may be practiced without these specific details, In other instances, well-known methods, procedures, components, units and/or circuits have not been described in detail so as not to obscure the invention. In the following detailed description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the invention. Further, where considered appropriate, reference numerals may be repeated among the figures to indicate corresponding or analogous elements. For example, the dimensions of some of the elements may be exaggerated relative to other elements for clarity. It will be appreciated that for simplicity and clarity of illustration, elements shown in the figures have not necessarily been drawn to scale. ![]() 4 is a schematic flow-chart of a method of detecting input unit disconnection in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the invention. 3 is a schematic block diagram illustration of a system able to detect an input unit disconnection, in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the invention andįIG. 2 is a schematic block diagram illustration of a circuit able to detect an input unit disconnection in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the invention įIG. 1 is a schematic block diagram illustration of a computing platform able to detect an input unit disconnection, in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the invention įIG. The invention, however, both as to organization and method of operation, together with features and advantages thereof, may best be understood by reference to the following detailed description when read with the accompanied drawings in which:įIG. The subject matter regarded as the invention is particularly pointed out and distinctly claimed in the concluding portion of the specification.
