Abstract

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a housing, a battery included within the housing, a connector electrically connected to an external power supply device including an integrated circuit (IC) and exposed to a part of the housing, and a power management unit included within the housing and electrically connected to the connector, wherein the power management unit is configured to communicate with the IC of the external power supply device, and wherein the connector is configured to receive a first current of a first current value during at least a part of the communication and to receive a second current of a second current value greater than the first current value during at least a part in which the communication is not performed.

Claims (47)

1. An electronic device comprising:

a housing;

a battery;

a display;

a connector electrically connected to an external power supply device including an integrated circuit (IC); and

at least one processor configured to:

detect a connection of the external power supply device through the connector,

control the display to display a user interface (UI) corresponding to a charging power value supplied from the external power supply device after the detecting the connection,

when a first charging power value is supplied from the external power supply device, control the display to display a first UI including first motion graphics corresponding to the first charging power value, and

when a second charging power value greater than the first charging power value is supplied from the external power supply device, control the display to display a second UI including second motion graphics corresponding to the second charging power value and different from the first motion graphics.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein a movement speed of the second motion graphics is faster than a movement speed of the first motion graphics.

3. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein a size of the second motion graphics is different from a size of the first motion graphics.

4. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein a shape of the second motion graphics is different from a shape of the first motion graphics.

5. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein a color of the second motion graphics is different from a color of the first motion graphics.

6. The electronic device of claim 1 ,

wherein when a first charging power value is supplied from the external power supply device, the electronic device is in a normal charging state, and

wherein when a second charging power value is supplied from the external power supply device, the electronic device is in a quick charging state.

7. The electronic device of claim 6 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

when the electronic device is in the quick charging state, control the display to display the second UI including an indicator corresponding to the quick charging state, and

when the electronic device is in the normal charging state, control the display to display the first UI not including the indicator.

8. The electronic device of claim 7 , wherein the UI including dynamically varying UI having different change speeds according to a charging state, the charging state including the normal charging state and the quick charging state.

9. The electronic device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a power management module configured to control the charging power value supplied from the external power supply device by communicating with the IC of the external power supply device.

10. A charging control method of an electronic device, the method comprising:

detecting a connection of an external power supply device through a connector;

displaying a user interface (UI) corresponding to a charging power value supplied from the external power supply device after the detecting the connection;

when a first charging power value is supplied from the external power supply device, displaying a first UI including first motion graphics corresponding to the first charging power value, and

when a second charging power value greater than the first charging power value is supplied from the external power supply device, displaying a second UI including second motion graphics corresponding to the second charging power value and different from the first motion graphics.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein a movement speed of the second motion graphics is faster than a movement speed of the first motion graphics.

12. The method of claim 10 , wherein a size of the second motion graphics is different from a size of the first motion graphics.

13. The method of claim 10 , wherein a shape of the second motion graphics is different from a shape of the first motion graphics.

14. The method of claim 10 , wherein a color of the second motion graphics is different from a color of the first motion graphics.

15. The method of claim 10 ,

wherein when a first charging power value is supplied from the external power supply device, the electronic device is in a normal charging state, and

wherein when a second charging power value is supplied from the external power supply device, the electronic device is in a quick charging state.

16. The method of claim 15 , further comprising:

when the electronic device is in the quick charging state, displaying the second UI including an indicator corresponding to the quick charging state, and

when the electronic device is in the normal charging state, displaying the first UI not including the indicator.

17. The method of claim 10 , wherein the UI including dynamically varying UI having different change speeds according to a charging state.

18. The method of claim 17 , wherein the charging state includes a normal charging state and a quick charging state.

19. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:

controlling, at a power management module of the electronic device, the charging power value supplied from the external power supply device by communicating with the IC of the external power supply device.

20. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing instructions which, when executed, cause at least one processor of an electronic device to perform operations comprising:

detecting a connection of an external power supply device through a connector;

displaying a user interface (UI) corresponding to a charging power value supplied from the external power supply device after the detecting the connection;

when a first charging power value is supplied from the external power supply device, displaying a first UI including first motion graphics corresponding to the first charging power value, and

when a second charging power value greater than the first charging power value is supplied from the external power supply device, displaying a second UI including second motion graphics corresponding to the second charging power value and different from the first motion graphics.
