First Claim
Patent Images
1. A charging method of a mobile terminal comprising:
- detecting brightness of ambient light around the mobile terminal by an illumination sensor of the mobile terminal;
activating a charging circuit for charging a battery of the mobile terminal when the detected brightness is more than a first value;
measuring a generated current of a solar cell; and
deactivating the charging circuit when the generated current of the solar cell is below a second value.
