Abstract
A power supply apparatus with image scanning function is provided. The power supply apparatus is installed to a portable electronic device to supply power and scan documents, and it is also able to be handheld independently to scan documents. The power supply apparatus includes a battery pack and a scanning module. The battery pack supplies power to an electronic device electrically connected thereto and supplies power to the scanning module. The scanning module scans an object to be scanned and converts image into image data. Thus, the portable electronic device obtains the image data of the object to be scanned.
Claims9
A power supply apparatus, provided for being installed into a battery slot of a portable electronic device to supply power and to scan, the power supply apparatus comprising:
- a scanning module, for scanning an object to be scanned and converting an image of the object into image data, wherein the scanning module is electrically connected to a signal connector, so as to be electrically connected to a communication port of the portable electronic device;
- and
- a battery pack, electrically connected to a power connector, so as to be electrically connected to a power connection port of the portable electronic device, for supplying power to the portable electronic device and supplying power to the scanning module;
- wherein a moving path is formed by the power supply apparatus together with an inner side of the battery slot of the portable electronic device, the object to be scanned moves along the moving path to pass through the scanning module, and the image of the object is converted into the image data by the scanning module, and the image data is transmitted to the portable electronic device via the signal connector and the communication port.
