Abstract

Disclosed are a displaying apparatus, a mobile electronic device, and a displaying frame. The displaying apparatus includes a mobile electronic device and a displaying frame. The mobile electronic device includes an electrical power contact, a circuit-breaking contact, and a battery circuit. The electrical power contact is electrically connected to the battery circuit, and the circuit-breaking contact is positioned corresponding to a control point of the battery circuit. The displaying frame includes a conductive part and an insulation part. When the mobile electronic device is disposed in the displaying frame, the conductive part is configured to press against the electrical power contact for transmitting electric power to the mobile electronic device, and the insulation part is configured to be inserted into the circuit-breaking contact to push the control point for breaking the battery circuit.

Claims

1. A displaying apparatus, comprising:

a mobile electronic device, including an electrical power contact, a circuit-breaking contact, and a battery circuit having a control point, wherein the electrical power contact is electrically connected to the battery circuit, and the circuit-breaking contact is positioned corresponding to the control point of the battery circuit; and

a displaying frame, including a conductive part and an insulation part, wherein when the mobile electronic device is disposed in the displaying frame, the conductive part is configured to press against the electrical power contact to transmit electric power to the mobile electronic device, and the insulation part is configured to be inserted into the circuit-breaking contact to push the control point for breaking the battery circuit;

wherein the conductive part of the displaying frame has a height greater than a height of the insulation part;

when the mobile electronic device is disposed into the displaying frame, the conductive part presses against the electrical power contact to transmit electric power to the mobile electronic device, before the insulation part pushes the control point for breaking the battery circuit.

2. The displaying apparatus of claim 1, wherein the conductive part and the insulation part jut out from a surface of the displaying frame when the mobile electronic device is not disposed in the displaying frame.

3. The displaying apparatus of claim 2, wherein the conductive part of the displaying frame is elastic, and a height of the conductive part that juts out from the surface of the displaying frame is larger than a height of the insulation part that juts out from the surface of the displaying frame.

4. The displaying apparatus of claim 1, wherein when the mobile electronic device is removed from the displaying frame, the insulation part gets away from the control point to close the battery circuit, before the conductive part gets away from the electrical power contact.

5. The displaying apparatus of claim 1, wherein when the mobile electronic device is not disposed in the displaying frame, the conductive part juts out from a surface of the displaying frame and the insulation part is elastic and at least partially hidden inside of the displaying frame.

6. The displaying apparatus of claim 5, wherein the displaying frame further includes a time-measuring unit and a control unit electrically connected to the time-measuring unit, and when the mobile electronic device is disposed in the displaying frame, the time-measuring unit is configured to measure time for a predetermined period of time after which the control unit causes the insulation part to extend so as to push the control point for breaking the battery circuit.

7. The displaying apparatus of claim 1, wherein the displaying frame further includes a power supply to transmit the electric power to the mobile electronic device through the conductive part.

8. A mobile electronic device, including:

an electrical power contact and a circuit-breaking contact; and

a battery circuit, having a control point, wherein the electrical power contact is electrically connected to the battery circuit, and the circuit-breaking contact is positioned corresponding to the control point of the battery circuit, wherein when the mobile electronic device is disposed in a displaying frame including a conductive part and an insulation part, the electrical power contact is configured to press against the conductive part for transmitting electric power to the mobile electronic device, and the control point is to be pushed by the insulation part, inserted into the circuit-breaking contact, for breaking the battery circuit;

wherein the conductive part of the displaying frame has a height greater than a height of the insulation part, such that the conductive part presses against the electrical power contact before the insulation part pushes the control point.

9. A displaying frame for use with a mobile electronic device including an electrical power contact, a circuit-breaking contact, and a battery circuit having a control point, the displaying frame including:

a conductive part and an insulation part, wherein when the mobile electronic device is disposed in the displaying frame, the conductive part is configured to press against the electrical power contact to transmit electric power to the mobile electronic device, and the insulation part is configured to be inserted into the circuit-breaking contact to push the control point for breaking the battery circuit;

wherein the conductive part of the displaying frame has a height greater than a height of the insulation part, such that the conductive part presses against the electrical power contact before the insulation part pushes the control point.

10. The displaying frame of claim 9, wherein the conductive part is elastic, and a height of the conductive part that juts out from a surface of the displaying frame is larger than a height of the insulation part that juts out from the surface of the displaying frame.

11. The displaying frame of claim 9, wherein the insulation part is elastic and at least partially hidden inside of the displaying frame.

12. The displaying frame of claim 11, further including a time-measuring unit and a control unit electrically connected to the time-measuring unit, and when the mobile electronic device is disposed in the displaying frame, the time-measuring unit is configured to measure time for a predetermined period of time after which the control unit causes the insulation part to extend so as to push the control point for breaking the battery circuit.
