Abstract: A method for estimating a battery power percentage of a battery includes: performing a first fuel gauge operation upon the battery; and using the first fuel gauge operation to generate the battery power percentage of the battery by referring to information measured by a second fuel gauge operation performed upon the battery wherein the second fuel gauge operation is different from the first fuel gauge operation.

Abstract: A method for power throttling upon a system includes: obtaining at least one characteristic information of a power source that is used for providing energy for the system; and, determining an available power range for the system according to the at least one characteristic information, so as to make the system control a behavior of the system according to the available power range.

Abstract: A method for estimating an available power range as a reference for performing power throttling upon a system includes: estimating an extra power range that is instantaneously available for the system according to at least one characteristic information of a power source that is used for providing energy for the system; and, calculating the available power range for the system according to the extra power range and a currently consumed power range so that the system controls a behavior of the system according to the available power range.

Abstract: An embodiment of a method for contactlessly controlling an electronic apparatus, performed by a processor of the electronic apparatus. A camera module of the electronic apparatus is turned on to capture a series of images upon detecting that an object is in close proximity to the electronic apparatus. A contactless control procedure is performed while the camera module thereof is in use. The control operation comprises determining a control operation according to the captured images; performing the control operation to an electronic device of the electronic apparatus upon obtaining an instruction based on analyzing the captured images; and turning off the camera module responsive to not obtaining an instruction within a predetermined time period.

Abstract: A battery charging system charges a battery using a charging circuit. The battery has an input port for receiving a charging current and a thermistor electrically connected to an output port. For battery temperatures above a threshold temperature, a resistance produced by the thermistor increases as the battery temperature increases. The charging circuit includes an input connector electrically connected to the output port of the battery and a resistance measuring circuit for measuring the resistance produced by the thermistor of the battery. A current generating circuit produces a charging current according to the measured resistance, and as the measured resistance increases, the charging current produced by the current generating circuit decreases. An output connector of the charging circuit is electrically connected to the input port of the battery for providing the charging current to the battery.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an electronic device, comprising: a battery; a breaker, coupled to the battery, being activated to brake a circuit while a current flowing therethrough exceeds a default current value of the breaker; and a switcher, having an end coupled to the breaker and another end being grounded, being activated to a short circuit state for directing the current to the ground and enabling the current to be larger than the default current value while the switcher detects an abnormal status.
