Electronic apparatus and charging method thereof

Abstract

An electronic apparatus and a charging method thereof. The electronic apparatus is provided with a cell and is connected to a power supply. The method comprises steps of: determining whether a present time of the electronic apparatus is in a specific time interval; if it is, determining whether residual electric quantity of the cell is larger than an electric quantity lower limit. If the residual electric quantity of the cell is larger than the electric quantity lower limit, charging to the cell is stopped and the cell is used for maintaining running of the electronic apparatus. If the residual electric quantity of the cell is smaller than or equal to the electric quantity lower limit, power supply is controlled to carry out an intermittent charge on the cell according to the electric quantity lower limit. besides, if the present time of the electronic apparatus is not in a specific time interval, usually a normal charging program is carried out to charge the cell. Switching among different charging programs is used to effectively charge the electronic apparatus and further reach a goal of saving electric charge.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a charging method, and in particular to a charging method capable of switching between different charging programs and an electronic device using the method. Background technique [0002] In the industrial and commercial environment, the pace of life of modern people is accelerated and everything is about efficiency. In order to meet the requirements of modern people for the convenience of using electronic products, electronic products are gradually developing towards miniaturization, portability, and wireless transmission. [0003] For example, a notebook computer not only has almost the same computing and processing capabilities as a desktop computer, but its mobility allows users who need to run around to process files, send and receive emails, browse the Internet, and play multimedia files anytime and anywhere. . However, the user must rely on the power of the battery to maintain the operation of the notebook compu...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] Although this method has the opportunity to reduce the embarrassment of being unable to use the notebook computer due to the battery being exhausted when going out, it is also easy to cause excessive electricity bills if the battery is continuously charged when it is not necessary

And for the earth's environment where resources are increasingly scarce, unrestrained charging of batteries will cause a waste of power resources, which in turn will have a rather negative impact on the earth's environment
