MOBILE TERMINAL AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING CHARGING THEREOF
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A mobile terminal, comprising:
- a power supply including first and second power sources;
a controller which determines whether charging of the power supply can be performed using only the second power source when a remaining power amount of the power supply is less than a minimum power consumption amount required for a call, controls charging of power to the power supply using the second power source when it is determined that the charging can be performed using only the second power source, and compares the remaining power amount resulting from the charging of power with a power consumption amount corresponding to a callable time; and
an output unit which outputs information that is associated with the callable time corresponding to a result of the comparison as callable time associated information, under control of the controller.

Abstract
For a mobile terminal and a method for controlling charging thereof, when the remaining power amount of a power supply, including first and second power sources, is less than a minimum power consumption amount required for a call, power is charged using the second power source. The remaining power amount resulting from the charging is compared with a power consumption amount corresponding to a callable time, and information that is associated with the callable time corresponding to a result of the comparison is outputted.

11. A method for controlling charging of a mobile terminal including first and second power sources, the method comprising:
-
determining whether a remaining power amount of the mobile terminal is less than a minimum power consumption amount required for a call; determining whether the charging can be performed using only the second power source, when the remaining power amount is less than the minimum power consumption amount; charging power to the mobile terminal using the second power source when it is determined that the charging can be performed using only the second power source; comparing the remaining power amount resulting from the charging with a power consumption amount corresponding to a callable time; and outputting information that is associated with the callable time corresponding to a result of the comparison as callable time associated information. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A mobile terminal, comprising:
-
a power supply which includes at least one power source; a controller which determines whether charging of the power supply can be performed to a certain reference that is less than a full charging of the power supply using the at least one power source when a remaining power amount of the power supply is less than a minimum power consumption amount of at least one function of the mobile terminal, controls charging of power to the power supply to the certain amount using the at least one power source when it is determined that the charging can be performed using the at least one power source, and compares the remaining power amount resulting from the charging of power with a power consumption amount corresponding to the minimum power consumption amount; and an output unit which outputs information that is associated with the minimum power consumption amount corresponding to a result of the comparison as callable time associated information, under control of the controller. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
