Abstract

A charging system for a wireless mouse and charging method are disclosed. The system comprises a transceiver unit having a first charging module and a circuit, and a wireless mouse body having a second charging module and a control circuit. When the wireless mouse is in normal operation, the transceiver unit is electrically connected to a port of a computer to charge power from the port by using the first charging module and to transfer data between the computer and the wireless mouse via the circuit. Alternatively, when the operation of the wireless mouse is done, the transceiver unit is plugged or snapped in the wireless mouse body to charge the second charging module with power by discharging the charged first charging module. Furthermore, when the power of the wireless mouse is used up, the second power storage unit of the second charging module of the wireless mouse body is directly replaced with the charged first power storage unit of the first charging module of the transceiver unit.

Claims
