  • Portable electric apparatus with power adapter to maintain power efficiency based on state information of host
    Patent number: 9620963
    Abstract: A portable electronic device is provided. The portable electronic device includes a host, a power adapter and a signal transmission interface. The host generates state information according to present operating state, and the power adapter is used to provide a voltage to the host. The power adapter receives the state information of the host via the signal transmission interface, and adjusts the output voltage according to the state information. By transmitting information between the host and the power adapter, the power adapter can be adjusted according to the operating state of the host. Moreover, the host can adjust the operating state according to the specification information of the power adapter. Consequently, the power consuming of the portable electronic device has best efficiency thus to reduce carbon emission.
