Abstract

The present invention provides a charging device fixed or placed on a table or a wall to serve as a signage, the charging device includes a display unit for displaying information, a power supply unit for providing power to the charging device, and a charge connector, wherein when an external electronic device is connected to the charge connector, the power supply unit charges the external electronic device via the charge connector.

Claims

1. A charging device, fixed or placed on a table or a wall to serve as a signage, comprising:

a display unit, arranged to display information;

a power supply unit, arranged to provide power to the charging device; and

a charge connector;

wherein when an external electronic device is connected to the charge connector, the power supply unit charges the external electronic device via the charge connector.

2. The charging device of claim 1, wherein the charge connector is dedicated to charging the connected external electronic device.

3. The charging device of claim 1, wherein the power supply unit comprises at least one of a mobile power bank, a detachable power bank component, a battery module or solar power supply module.

4. The charging device of claim 1, wherein the display unit comprises at least one of a digital electronic signboard, a transparent plate, a liquid crystal display (LCD) screen, a light emitting display (LED) screen and a signage.

5. The charging device of claim 1, further comprising:

a wireless communicating unit;

a signal processing unit, coupled to the wireless communicating unit, arranged for communicating with other electronic devices via the wireless communicating unit, and processing received data via the wireless communicating unit.

6. The charging device of the claim 5, wherein the charging device is installed on a table, and the signal processing unit receives external display information via the wireless communicating unit and processing the external information and displays processed external display information on the display unit, wherein external display information is inputted by a manager.

7. The charging device of claim 6, wherein the external display information is inputted by the manager via a mobile device.

8. The charging device of claim 6, wherein the external display information is from a cloud server.

9. The charging device of claim 5, further comprising:

a speaker;

wherein the signal processing unit receives external audio data via the wireless communicating unit, and sends the received external audio data to the speaker to play after processing.

10. The charging device of claim 5, further comprising:

a microphone;

wherein the signal processing unit further receives audio data from the microphone, and sends the audio data via the wireless communicating unit.

11. The charging device of claim 1, further comprising:

an electronic anti-theft element, comprising at least one of a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) function, burglarproof magnetic strip, RF soft anti-theft barcode, AM DR soft anti-theft label, acoustic magnetic anti-theft label.

12. The charging device of claim 1, further comprising:

a signal feedback unit, coupled to the display unit, arranged for controlling an open/close state of the display unit or controlling a level of power consumption of the display unit.

13. A charging device, fixed or placed on a table or a wall to serve as a signage, comprising:

a display unit, arranged for displaying information;

a power supply unit, arranged for providing power to the charging device, wherein the power supply unit comprises at least a wireless charging module;

wherein when an external electronic device is placed in a charging range of the wireless charging module, the wireless charging module charges the external electronic device.

14. The charging device of claim 13, further comprising:

a wireless communicating unit;
