Abstract

A charging device and its charging method of self-moving type of mouse is disclosed. The method comprises the following steps: Step (a): providing a wireless mouse and a charging device, wherein the wireless mouse comprises a base, a displacement-detecting portion positioned on the base, a moving portion capable of stretching out of the base, and a transceiving portion connected to a charging battery. Step (b): Placing the wireless mouse and the charging device on a plane. Step(c): Having the displacement-detecting portion detect whether the wireless mouse is in action or not. Step (d): If the wireless mouse is in action, then, after the displacement-detecting portion acquires a displacement signal with respect to the plane, repeat Step (c); after the wireless mouse stops action for a predetermined time, let the moving portion stretch out of the base. Step (e): Having the moving portion in action, and let the wireless mouse perform a number of sets of predetermined displacement motion. Step (f): The wireless mouse moves to the charging device. Step (g): The transceiving portion (15) performs matching connection with the charging device; Step (h): Performing charging to the charging battery.
