US 2016/0111875 A1 · ADAPTIVE ALL-IN-ONE DEVICE AND METHOD OF SUPPLYING POWER THERETO

Abstract

An adaptive all-in-one device includes a power switch module, a power module, a connection port switch module, and at least one connection port. The power switch module is configured to determine a power state of the device and transmit power to electronic components of the device. The power module is configured to receive power from either a main power source or at least one peripheral power source, and transmit the power to the power switch module. The connection port switch module is configured to transmit power from the power switch module to the at least one peripheral power source, and transmit power from the at least one peripheral power source to the power module. The at least one connection port is configured to electrically couple the connection port switch module of the device to the at least one peripheral power source.
