  • Patent number: 7493148
    Abstract: A battery charging device using an ear-microphone jack of a mobile apparatus. The battery charging device comprises a battery; an ear-microphone socket having a microphone contact, an earphone contact, and a common ground contact; a modem chip having a microphone input port connected to the microphone contact or an internal microphone and an earphone output port connected to the earphone contact or an internal speaker; and a cutting-off element connected between a power supply contact and the battery, for providing a charging voltage provided via the power supply contact to the battery and preventing a current from flowing backward from the battery to the modem chip. A power supply device comprises a plug having terminals connectable to contacts of the ear-microphone socket; and a power source connector for connecting a power supply source to the plug.
