Abstract

A power supply system includes a battery, a controller, and an adaptor. A power supply is configured to supply power to an electronic device. The controller includes a detecting module, a comparison module, and a control module. The detecting module is configured to detect working status of the electronic device. The comparison module is configured to compare a capacity of the adaptor with a load. The control module is configured to determine a supply status of the adaptor, control the adaptor to output a first charging current to charge the battery when the adaptor is normal supply status, the capacity of the adaptor is greater than the load, and the electronic device is normal, and control the adaptor to output a second charging current to charge the battery when the adaptor is the normal supply status and the electronic device is in a stand-by mode.

Claims

1. A power supply system comprising:

a battery;

a controller comprising;

a detecting module,

a comparison module, and

a control module; and

an adaptor couplable to a power supply;

wherein the power supply is configured to supply power to an electronic device via the adaptor;

wherein the detecting module is configured to detect a working status of the electronic device;

wherein the comparison module is configured to compare a capacity of the adaptor with a load;

wherein the comparison module is further configured to compare the capacity of the adaptor with a capacity of the battery,

wherein the control module is configured to determine a supply status of the adaptor;

wherein when the adaptor is in a normal supply status, the capacity of the adaptor is greater than the load, the electronic device is in a normal status, and the control module controls the adaptor to output a first charging current to charge the battery; and

when the adaptor is the normal supply status and the electronic device is in a stand-by mode, the control module controls the adaptor to output a second charging current to charge the battery.

2. The power supply system of claim 1, wherein when the adaptor is normal supply and the capacity of the adaptor is not greater than a capacity of the battery, the control module is also configured to control the adaptor to output a second charging current to charge the battery.

3. The power supply system of claim 1, wherein the control module determines the adaptor is normal supply when the capacity of the adaptor is not less than the load.

4. The power supply system of claim 1, wherein the comparison module configured to compare a difference value between the capacity of the adaptor and the load with the first reference value, and the control module determines the adaptor is electricity shortage when the difference value is not greater than the first reference value.

5. The power supply system of claim 4, wherein the control module determines the adaptor is abnormal supply when the comparison module determines the difference value is greater than the first reference value and is not less than the second reference value.

6. The power supply system of claim 5, wherein the control module controls the battery to supply power to the computer when determining the adaptor is abnormal supply and the battery exists.

7. The power supply system of claim 4, wherein the control module controls the adaptor to output a third charging current to charge the battery when the adaptor is electricity shortage and the computer is normal status, and the control module controls the adaptor to output the second charging current to charge the battery when the adaptor is electricity shortage and the electronic device is in the stand-by mode.

8. The power supply system of claim 7, wherein the second charging current is greater than the first charging current.

9. The power supply system of claim 4, wherein the controller further comprises a setting module and the setting module is configured to set the first reference value.

10. The power supply system of claim 1, wherein the second charging current is greater than the first charging current.

11. A power supply system comprising:

when the adaptor is electricity shortage and the battery exists, and the electronic device is in a stand-by mode, the control module is configured to control the adaptor to output a second charging current to charge the battery.

12. The power supply system of claim 11, wherein the controller further comprises a comparison module, the comparison module is configured to compare a capacity of the adaptor with the load, and the control module is configured to determine the adaptor determines the adaptor is electricity shortage when a difference value between the capacity of the adaptor and the load is not greater than a first reference value.

13. The power supply system of claim 12, wherein the control module is configured to determine the adaptor is normal supply when the capacity of the adaptor is not less than the load, and control the adaptor to output a third charging current to charge the battery when the adaptor is the normal supply status and the electronic device is in the normal status.

14. The power supply system of claim 13, wherein the third charging current is greater than the first charging current.

15. The power supply system of claim 13, wherein the comparison module is configured to compare the capacity of the adaptor with a capacity of the battery, the control module is configured to determine the adaptor is normal supply when the capacity of the adaptor is not greater than the capacity of the battery.

16. The power supply system of claim 15, wherein the control module is further configured to control the adaptor to output the third second charging current to charge the battery when the adaptor is the normal supply status and the electronic device is the stand-by mode.

17. The power supply system of claim 13, wherein the control module determines the adaptor is abnormal supply when the comparison module determines the difference value is greater than the first reference value and is not less than a second reference value.
