This application provides a
signal transmission method and a related device. According to the
signal transmission method, when two contact points on an electronic device are respectively in contact with two contact points on a keyboard, the electronic device may transmit a power
signal and a GND signal to the keyboard through the contact points that are in contact with each other, that is, the electronic device may supply power to the keyboard. In addition, when a user presses a key on the keyboard to perform input, the keyboard may transmit key position information to the electronic device through a contact point that is in contact with the electronic device. In this signal transmission method, no
Bluetooth chip needs to be built into the electronic device and the keyboard, reducing device costs. In addition, this signal transmission method is wired transmission, is more stable than a
wireless transmission manner such as
Bluetooth transmission, and uses fewer contact points. This reduces complexity of
layout design of the contact points on the electronic device and the keyboard, and alleviates a dirty problem caused by
exposure of the contact points.
