Embodiment
According to mobile computer of the present invention, it has a state of charge indicating device, the battery of itself and mobile computer electrically connects, the user need not start computing machine load operation system, not under the starting state, just can learn the state of charge of present mobile computer battery in mobile computer.
Please refer to Figure 1A to Fig. 1 D, it illustrates the mobile computer of the tool state of charge indication of one preferred embodiment according to the present invention.Shown in Figure 1A, contain main frame 102, keyboard 104, screen 106, battery 108, power switch 110, state of charge indicating device 112 according to the mobile computer 100 of this preferred embodiment.
Mobile computer 100 can have multiple different electric weight source, for example provides main frame 102 runnings required electric weight by supply socket, in addition, when in the open air use, then can provide required electric weight by battery 108.State of charge indicating device 112 electrically connects with battery 108, can obtain the information about dump energy in the battery whereby.State of charge indicating device 112 is rounded, disposes around power switch 110, and is designed to just begin to show the state of charge of battery 108 at once when battery 108 inserts main frames 102.
Figure 1B to Fig. 1 D is a power switch 110 and the local enlarged diagram of state of charge indicating device 112, to further specify the how state of charge in the pilot cell 108 of state of charge indicating device 112.State of charge indicating device 112 for example can be a light emitting diode (LED), is divided into a plurality of demonstration blocks 114, utilizes to show whether block 114 shows relevant change in color, expresses the state of charge of battery 108 with patterned way.For example, Figure 1B illustrates battery 108 and is under the low state of charge, and only one shows that block 114 produces demonstration, remaining electric weight deficiency in the expression battery 108, and the user may need battery 108 is charged.And in Fig. 1 C, expression battery 108 is in middle state of charge, then has four to show that block 114 produces demonstration, and the dump energy of expression battery 108 this moment is about half.In addition, the high state of charge shown in Fig. 1 D, all show that block 114 all produces demonstration, expression battery 108 this moment has fully loaded electric weight.
In addition, remove the number that can show block 114 generation demonstration numbers, express outside the state of charge in the battery 108, but the also demonstration of colour matching, with the effect of further enhancing demonstration.For example, in the low state of charge shown in Figure 1B, the demonstration block 114 that produce to show can red display, need take measures at once with further prompting user, and the electric weight that for example is replaced with the electric weight socket is originated, or charges for battery 108 immediately.Again for example in the middle state of charge shown in Fig. 1 C, show that block 114 can yellowly show, the state of charge of expression battery 108 this moment still is enough to provide mobile computer 100 required running, but may be careful the limited time that can use.And, show that 114 of blocks can greenly show in the high state of charge shown in Fig. 1 D, and the electric weight abundance of expression battery 108 this moment, the user need not worry quantity problem.
State of charge indicating device 112 is except that can and beginning to produce the state of charge demonstration by battery 108 insertion main frames 102, for further reaching the purpose of saving electric weight, can further dispose an inductor, after induction use information, just start state of charge indicating device 112, promptly only when the user has needed the state of charge of electrolytic cell 108, just produce demonstration, so just can further save the electric weight in the battery 108.For example an inductor is configurable in power switch 110 or state of charge indicating device 112, and is connected with state of charge indicating device 112.When the user touches power switch 110 or state of charge indicating device 112, just can make inductor produce induction, further start state of charge indicating device 112 and show present state of charge.
Can cooperate different inductors to respond to various use information according to different requirements set, inductor for example can be a touch inductor, responds to by user's touch-control sensor.In addition, inductor also can be an infrared inductor, responds to by infrared ray.Perhaps, also can be a hotness or acoustic control inductor, by user's body temperature or sound and respond to.
Fig. 2 A to Fig. 2 D illustrates the mobile computer of tool state of charge indication according to yet another preferred embodiment of the present invention.Shown in Fig. 2 A, contain main frame 202, keyboard 204, screen 206, battery 208, power switch 210, state of charge indicating device 212 according to the mobile computer 200 of this preferred embodiment.
