Abstract
A charging method includes a step of transmitting a start command to a charging device by an electronic device that pre-stores a charging authority therein when the electronic device determines the charging authority to be valid. The charging device is communicatively connected to the electronic device and includes an electrifying interface electrically connected to the electronic device. The start command causes the charging device to provide a power signal at the electrifying interface for charging the electronic device therethrough.

10. A charging device, comprising:
-
a communication interface configured to be communicatively connected to an electronic device; a plurality of electrifying units, each of the electrifying units being configured to provide a power signal; a plurality of electrifying interfaces, each of the electrifying interfaces being configured to electrically connect a respective one of the electrifying units and the electronic device, being electrically connected to the respective one of the electrifying units, and having an identity indication; and a processor electrically connected to the communication interface and each of the electrifying units, wherein the processor causes each of the electrifying units to provide the power signal through each of the electrifying interfaces upon receipt of a start command that is transmitted by the electronic device through the communication interface to thereby charge the electronic device; wherein the processor causes each of the electrifying units to stop provision of the power signal at a respective one of the electrifying interfaces upon receipt of a stop command through the communication interface; and wherein when one of the electrifying interfaces is electrically connected to the electronic device to serve as a connected electrifying interface, and the communication interface is communicatively connected to the electronic device and receives the start command that includes the identity indication of the connected electrifying interface, the processor causes, according to the identity indication included in the start command, one of the electrifying units corresponding to the connected electrifying interface to provide the power signal at the connected electrifying interface. - View Dependent Claims (11)
