Background Art
[2] In general, mobile phones are devices that have been developed to wirelessly transmit and receivedata through a base station. The number of users of mobile phones is increasing because of the advantage that callers can make calls toother parties regardless of location.
[3] Meanwhile, with the development of the wireless data transmission and reception technology of mobile phones, and with the development of processors, various functions are being added to the mobile phones. For example, digital cameras are attached to the mobile phones, MPEG-I Audio Layer- 3 (MP3) files can be downloaded to and played back by themobile phones, movie data can be wirelessly received by and watched on the mobile phones, and games can be played on the mobile phones.
[4] In brief, mobile phones are not limited to communications, but function as multimedia devices.
[5] The greatest disadvantage of mobile phonesis that the mobile phones do not operate during the replacement of the batteries because the rechargeable batteries are used as a power means and, therefore, exhausted rechargeable batteries must frequently be replaced with charged rechargeable batteries.
[6] Existing mobile phones are designed so that rechargeable batteries are detachably attached thereto. When rechargeablebatteries are detached from the mobile phones for the purpose of replacement, the functions of the mobile phones are halted and, therefore, users cannot utilize all the functions of the mobile phones, including com¬ munications, MP3 file playbackand games. Accordingly, a problem arises in that, when rechargeable batteries are exhausted and need to be replaced while users are making calls and playing games, ongoing calls and games must be stopped.

[16] With reference to FIGS. 1 to 3, a preferred embodiment of the present invention is described below.
[17] Reference numeral 10 designates a mobile phone body. A plurality of function keys and a plurality of numeral keys are provided on the surfaceof the mobile phone body 10, and a body circuit module 1, which is composedof electronic circuits for im¬ plementing the transmission and reception of data, a communication function, the playback of MP3 files, the output of images and a game function, is provided in the mobile phone body 10.
[18] Power terminals 6 are formed in the mobile body 10 to connect with a main battery
8, and lead wires 7 are formed to connect the power terminals 6 and the body circuit module 1.
[19] Consequently, when the main battery 8 is attached to the mobile phone body 10, the power of the main battery 8 is supplied to the body circuit module 1 through the power terminals 6 and the lead wires 7.
[20] In the meantime, in the present invention, an auxiliary power means 2 for con¬ tinuously supplying power to the body circuit module 1 during the replacement of the main battery 8 is provided.
[21] The auxiliary power means 2 supplies power to the body circuit module 1 during the replacement of the main battery 8, so that the functions of the mobile phone are performed without interruption. The auxiliary power means 2 is implemented with a small capacity auxiliary battery 3 or a condenser 4.
[22] Additionally, a switch module 5 performs a switching operation so that the output power of the auxiliary power means 2 is supplied to thebody circuit module 1 during the replacement of the main battery 8.
[23] The switching module 5 detects the level of the output power of the main battery 8 that is supplied to thepower terminals 6. The switch module 5 automatically connects the auxiliary power means 2 to the body circuit module 1 when a detected voltage is equal to or less than a predetermined value, so that power is continuously supplied to the body circuit module 1.
[24] A program is embedded in the body circuit module 1 to compulsorily control the switching operation of the switch module 5. When the user presses a specific key for a predetermined time, the program allows the switch 5 to be switched to the auxiliary power means 2.
[25] With such a function, the user can automatically cut off the main battery 8 by the manipulation of a specific key.
[26] The operation of the present invention constructed as described above is described below.

[28] When the user detaches the main battery 8 from the mobile phone body 10 to replacethe main battery 8, the voltage of the main battery 8 is not output to the body circuit module 1 through the power terminals 6 any longer. The switch module 5 auto¬ matically switches to the auxiliary power means 2 after detecting that voltage is not supplied through the power terminals 6.
[29] The voltage output from the auxiliary power means 2 through the switching op- erationof the switch module 5 is supplied to the body circuit module 1 through the lead wires 7, so that the user performs operations, such as making a call, playing a game or watching images, without interruption during the replacement of the main battery 8.
[30] The auxiliary power means 2 is implemented with a condenser 4 or auxiliary battery 3 having charging and discharging functions as shown in the drawing.
[31] Accordingly, when the switching module 5 is switched to the auxiliary power means 2, voltage storedn the condenser or auxiliary battery 3 is discharged and contin- uouslysupplied to the body circuit module 1, so that the mobile phone can be normally used during the replacement of the main battery 8.
[32] The condenser 4 or auxiliary battery 3 is preferably designed to have such a small capacity that power can be supplied to the body circuit module 1 for the time that the user takes to replace the main battery.
[33] The condenser 4 and the auxiliary battery 3 are charged by voltage output from themain battery 8 when the main battery 8 is attached to the mobile phone body 10, or are charged by voltage input when the main battery 8 is charged while remaining attached to the mobile phone body 10. [34] In accordance with the present invention as described above, while the user, who is performing a function, such asmaking a call, playing a game, listening to an MP3 file or watching images, using the mobile phone, detaches the main battery 8 from the mobile phone body 10 to replace an exhausted battery with a new battery, power output from the auxiliary power means 2 is automatically supplied to the body circuit module 1, so that the user can replace the main battery 8 while continuously using the mobile phone.
