Abstract

The present invention discloses an electronic device including a casing, a light emitting module, a light penetrating portion, a battery module and a control module. The light emitting module and the battery module are disposed inside the casing. Light emitted from the light emitting module can penetrate through the light penetrating portion. The control module is disposed inside the casing and electrically connected to the battery module and the light emitting module. As an external electrical power supply charges the battery module, the control module is for controlling the light emitting module to emit different light to pass through the light penetrating portion and outside the casing according to a capacity ratio of a current electrical capacity to a full electrical capacity of the battery module, so as to generate different notification messages corresponding to the current electrical capacity of the battery module.

Claims

1. A electronic device, comprising:

a casing;

a light emitting module disposed inside the casing;

a light penetrating portion wherethrough light emitted from the light emitting module passes;

a battery module disposed inside the casing; and

a control module disposed inside the casing and electrically connected to the battery module and the light emitting module, the control module being for controlling the light emitting module to emit different light to pass through the light penetrating portion and outside the casing according to a capacity ratio of a current electrical capacity to a full electrical capacity of the battery module as an external electrical power supply charges the battery module, so as to generate different notification messages corresponding to the current electrical capacity of the battery module.

2. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the external electrical power supply charges the battery module by a cable or wireless.

3. The electronic device of claim 2, wherein the notification message is a flashing message with a flashing frequency corresponding to the capacity ratio.

4. The electronic device of claim 2, wherein the notification message is a bright message with brightness corresponding to the capacity ratio.

5. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the light penetrating portion is a text pattern or a graphic pattern.

6. The electronic device of claim 5, wherein the notification message is a flashing message with a flashing frequency corresponding to the capacity ratio.

7. The electronic device of claim 5, wherein the notification message is a bright message with brightness corresponding to the capacity ratio.

8. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the light emitting module comprises a plurality of light emitting components arranged in a text pattern or a graphic pattern, and the control module is for controlling different numbers of the plurality of light emitting components to emit light to pass through the light penetrating portion and outside the casing according to the capacity ratio.

9. The electronic device of claim 8, wherein the notification message is a flashing message with a flashing frequency corresponding to the capacity ratio.

10. The electronic device of claim 8, wherein the notification message is a bright message with brightness corresponding to the capacity ratio.

11. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the notification message is a flashing message with a flashing frequency corresponding to the capacity ratio.

12. The electronic device of claim 11, wherein as the capacity ratio corresponds to a low capacity ratio, the control module is for controlling the light emitting module to emit the flashing message with a low flashing frequency, and as the capacity ratio increases gradually, the control module gradually increases the flashing frequency according to the increasing capacity ratio.

13. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the notification message is a bright message with brightness corresponding to the capacity ratio.

14. The electronic device of claim 13, wherein as the capacity ratio corresponds to a low capacity ratio, the control module is for controlling the light emitting module to emit the bright message with low brightness, and as the capacity ratio increases gradually, the control module gradually increases the brightness according to the increasing capacity ratio.

15. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein as the current electrical capacity is the full electrical capacity and the battery module is electrically connected to the external electrical power supply, the control module is for controlling the light emitting module not to emit the light or to emit continuous light selectively.

16. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein as the electronic device is turned off or standby and the battery module is electrically connected to the external electrical power, the control module is for controlling the light emitting module to emit the notification message.

17. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein a hole is formed on the casing, and the light penetrating portion is disposed inside the hole.

18. The electronic device of claim 1, further comprising a protecting layer disposed on the casing, the protecting layer being made of a transparent material, and the light penetrating portion comprising a first penetrating area in the casing and a second penetrating area in the protecting layer.
