Abstract

A method for controlling liquid ingress detection and an electronic device are provided. The method includes: controlling a liquid ingress detection circuit to start liquid ingress detection in a Type-C interface; stopping applying a voltage to first data pins when a detection result of the liquid ingress detection is that liquid ingress occurs in the Type-C interface, and obtaining a first parameter of a screen of the electronic device; when the first parameter of the screen is a screen-off state, controlling the liquid ingress detection circuit to start next liquid ingress detection in the Type-C interface after first duration; and when the first parameter of the screen is a screen-on state, controlling the liquid ingress detection circuit to start next liquid ingress detection in the Type-C interface after second duration, where the first duration is greater than the second duration.

obtaining a detection times, wherein the detection times is used to record, when the first parameter of the screen is the screen-on state, a number of times for which the liquid ingress detection circuit is controlled to start the liquid ingress detection in the Type-C interface; and

determining that the detection times is less than or equal to a preset first value.

3 . The method for controlling liquid ingress detection according to claim 2 , wherein the method further comprises:

determining that the detection times is greater than the preset first value, and controlling the liquid ingress detection circuit to start next liquid ingress detection in the Type-C interface after third duration, wherein the third duration is greater than the second duration and less than or equal to the first duration.
