In other embodiments, when the first charging port 511 is connected to the first charging area 135, or the second charging port 531 is connected to the second charging area 137, the first hall detector 141 or the second hall detector 143 transmits a first detection signal to the control unit 80. When the first Hall detector 141 or the second Hall detector 143 detects that the flip cover 139 is closed, a second detection signal is generated to the control unit 80. When receiving the first detection signal and the second detection signal, the control unit 80 generates a control signal corresponding to the detection signal to turn off the Bluetooth communication of the first Bluetooth headset 51 or the second Bluetooth headset 53. If the first detection signal or the second detection signal is not received, it means that the first charging port 511 is not connected to the first charging area 135, or the second charging port 531 is not connected to the second charging area 137, or it is turned off. If the cover 139 is not closed, the control unit 80 may send an actuation signal to the warning unit 70 to remind the user to complete the connection of the first Bluetooth headset 51, the second Bluetooth headset 53 or the flip cover 139.

In addition, although it is not shown in the figure, it is understandable that the stylus device 1 may also include an electrical connector, and the rechargeable battery 30 can be directly charged by the commercial power through the electrical connector.
