Patent number: 9478999Abstract: A mobile electronic system including a mobile electronic device and a charging accessory is provided. The mobile electronic device includes a first connector and a battery. The charging accessory includes a second connector. The first connector and the second connector are configured to couple the mobile electronic device and the charging accessory. When the charging accessory is coupled to an alternating-current voltage and the mobile electronic device, the charging accessory converts the alternating-current voltage into a direct-current voltage, detects an instantaneous voltage of the battery, determines the value of the direct-current voltage according to the instantaneous voltage, and outputs the direct-current voltage to charge the battery.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2013Date of Patent: October 25, 2016Assignee: HTC CorporationInventors: Ming-Chu Lu, Tzu-Hsun Tung, Chih-Chung Teng, Tsung-Pao Kuan
