Method and system for charging management
First Claim
1. A method for charging management, applicable in an electronic device having a display screen and an input interface, so as to perform a charging process on the electronic device via a system for charging management, the method comprising the steps of:
- (1) having the system actuate a light indicator or output an application program selection control window through the display screen when an external power source is inputted to the electronic device, so as to allow a user to determine whether a keystroke battery charging mode is to be activated to perform the charging process on the electronic device, if yes, proceeding to step (2), or if no, proceeding to step (4);
(2) allowing the user to determine whether a charging command is to be issued via the application program selection control window or the input interface of the electronic device according to a practical requirement, if yes, proceeding to step (4), or if no, proceeding to step (3);
(3) having the system temporarily subject a battery of the electronic device to a non-charging status, and allowing the user to return to step (2) and determine whether the charging process is to be performed depending on a remaining status of an electric quantity of the battery, if yes, proceeding to step (4), or if no, maintaining the electronic device in the non-charging status; and
(4) performing the charging process on the battery of the electronic device via the external power source.

Abstract
A method and a system for charging management are applied in an electronic device. The system includes a sensing unit, a detecting unit, a signal output unit, a receiving unit and a processing unit. By the method, when the sensing unit senses an external power source inputted to the electronic device, the detecting unit detects a current electric quantity of a battery of the electronic device. The processing unit actuates the signal output unit to provide an operating interface for a user to issue a command through a hot key or an application program selection control window. After the receiving unit receives the command from the user, a required charging mode is activated according to the user'"'"'s requirement. Therefore, problems resulted from battery removal such as inconvenience and failure of an uninterruptable power mechanism are solved, and a battery charging frequency is reduced to prolong the battery lifetime.

7. A system for charging management, applicable in an electronic device having a display screen and an operating interface, the system comprising:
-
a sensing unit for determining whether there is an external power source inputted to the electronic device, if yes, the sensing unit outputting a power source input signal;
a detecting unit for detecting a current electric quantity of a battery of the electronic device when the detecting unit receives the power source input signal, and for outputting a detection result;
a signal output unit for actuating a light indicator or outputting an application program selection control window comprising the detection result of the electric quantity of the battery through the display screen, so as to allow a user to determine whether a keystroke battery charging mode is to be activated;
a receiving unit for receiving a command inputted from the user to actuate associated functional components; and
a processing unit for monitoring operating procedures of the system. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10)
