[Problem that the idea aims to solve]

Well, portable electronic devices are originally intended to be carried around. , is manufactured with the premise of using dry batteries and earphones, but it increases versatility. It is also possible to directly connect an AC adapter or a speaker with a built-in amplifier. However, connecting an AC adapter or a speaker with a built-in amplifier is very troublesome. However, it was not easy to use.

[0007] In other words, in the past, it was not possible to connect speakers with built-in amplifiers or AC adapters directly to portable electronic devices. By connecting speakers, long-term speaker output was possible, but each Since the connection terminals used to connect the I had to. Also, portable electronic devices are small and indicate the type of connection terminals they have. The display is small, so every time I try to play it, I have to connect the speaker with a built-in amplifier or the AC adapter. It was time consuming to connect.

[0008] In particular, portable electronic devices usually only have an earphone jack as an audio output terminal. Since the input terminal is not connected to the When trying to play audio using the earphone plug, disconnect the left and right audio pins from the Had to use a special converter plug to convert it into a plug.

[0009] Therefore, this invention has an audio output terminal, a battery compartment, and a charger for charging the battery. Provide a connection device with a circuit and power input terminal, and connect the audio output device and power source in advance. By connecting to this connection device, you can connect your portable electronic device to this connection device. The purpose is to make it possible to easily play back audio just by connecting.
