Method for controlling solar charge device and portable terminal using the same

A portable terminal comprising a solar charge device for charging a battery using solar energy, the portable terminal comprising:

• a storage unit comprising a machine readable medium which is configured to store machine executable code comprising a driver software which is registered in an operating system and is used to control the solar charge device;
• a solar cell which converts received solar energy into electrical energy;
• a charging unit which is configured to receive the electrical energy from the solar cell for charging the battery, and to generate a charge detection signal when the electrical signal is input from the solar cell;
• and
• a controller which is configured to comprise a charge detection terminal for receiving the charge detection signal, to generate a charge control signal for controlling an activation of the charging unit, and to transfer the charge control signal to the charging unit,
• wherein the charge detection terminal is enabled in every given time period stored in the driver software.
