POWER ADAPTER WITH BUILT-IN BATTERY AND POWER STORAGE AND SUPPLY METHOD THEREOF
First Claim
1. A power storage and supply method for a power adapter with built-in battery, comprising the following steps:
- (A) determining whether or not the power adapter is connected to an external power source;
wherein the power adapter includes at least one microcontroller, a power system, and at least one battery module built in the power adapter;
(B) if yes, further determining whether or not the power adapter is connected to at least one electronic device;
(C) if yes, selecting to charge the electronic device or the battery module as a first charging mode;
(D) determining whether or not a physical quantity of the power adapter reaches a first reference value; and
(E) if yes, selecting to charge the electronic device and/or the battery module as a second charging mode.

Abstract
A power storage and supply method for a power adapter includes determining whether the power adapter is connected to an external power source; if yes, further determining whether the power adapter is connected to an electronic device; if yes, selecting to charge the electronic device or a battery module built in the power adapter; determining whether a physical quantity of the power adapter reaches a first reference value; and, if yes, selecting to charge the electronic device and/or the battery module. The power adapter includes a microcontroller that uses the physical quantity of the power adapter to determine charging sequence, so that the power adapter is not interfered and limited by incompatible device signal control and can be directly used to charge any electronic device while automatically switching among different charging operation states to complete charging of the electronic device and the built-in battery module in increased charging efficiency.

23. A power adapter with built-in battery being selectively connected to an external power source and/or at least one electronic device, comprising:
-
an input connector for electrically connecting to the external power source; at least one output connector for electrically connecting to the at least one electronic device; a power system being electrically connected to between the input connector and the output connector for converting current and voltage received from the external power source; at least one built-in battery module being electrically connected to the power system and the output connector for storing power supplied thereto by the power system; and at least one microcontroller being electrically connected to the input connector, the output connector, the power system and the battery module for determining states of connection of the input connector and the output connector to the external power source and the electronic device, respectively, and, based on the determined connection states, selectively instructing the power system to supply power to the battery module and/or the output connector or instructing the battery module to supply power to the output connector; wherein when the input connector and the output connector are simultaneously connected to the external power source and the electronic device, respectively, the power system charges the electronic device or the battery module as a first charging mode; and
when the microcontroller detects a physical quantity of the power adapter reaches a first reference value, the power system charges the battery module and/or the electronic device as a second charging mode. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27, 28)
