1. A method for controlling battery recharging process, for an electronic device equipped with a battery, the method comprising:
- the electronic device receiving a power-up signal and being turned on to enter an operating system;
the electronic device using a controller to determine whether a start signal of a recharging smart mode is received;
after the controller receives the start signal of the recharging smart mode and enables the electronic device to enter the recharging smart mode, using the controller to determine an actual capacity rate of the battery;
using the controller to change a rechargeable capacity rate of the battery according to the actual capacity rate of the battery, wherein when the actual capacity rate of the battery is larger than a first threshold value for a first predetermined time interval, the rechargeable capacity rate is decreased;
continuously determining the actual capacity rate of the battery; and
when the actual capacity rate of the battery is larger than the first threshold value for a second predetermined time interval, continuously decreasing the rechargeable capacity rate.

Abstract
A method for controlling battery recharging process is provided for an electronic device equipped with a battery. The method comprises entering a recharging smart mode. In the recharging smart mode, an actual capacity rate of the battery is determined. In the recharging smart mode, according to the actual capacity rate of the battery, a rechargeable capacity rate of the battery is changed. When the actual capacity rate is larger than a first capacity threshold value for a first predetermined time interval, the rechargeable capacity rate of the battery is decreased.

18. An electronic device, comprising:
-
a battery, for supplying an electric power to the electronic device; a controller, wherein after the electronic device is started to enter an operating system, the controller determines whether a start signal of a recharging smart mode is received, wherein after the controller receives the start signal of the recharging smart mode and enables the electronic device to enter the recharging smart mode, the controller determines an actual capacity rate of the battery, wherein in the recharging smart mode, the controller changes a rechargeable capacity rate of the battery according to the actual capacity rate of the battery, wherein when the actual capacity rate of the battery is larger than a first threshold value for a first predetermined time interval, the rechargeable capacity rate is decreased, wherein the controller continuously determines the actual capacity rate of the battery, and wherein when the actual capacity rate of the battery is larger than the first threshold value for a second predetermined time interval, the controller continuously decreases the rechargeable capacity rate. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34)
