Abstract:
1. A method of supplying power, comprising: providing an external voltage to an electronic device and simultaneously charging a storage battery using the external voltage, upon determining that the external voltage is provided to a power supply apparatus; charging the storage battery using a voltage output by a solar battery, upon determining that the external voltage is not provided to the power supply apparatus and the electronic device is not in use; providing the voltage output by the solar battery and a charged voltage output by the storage battery to the electronic device, upon determining that the external voltage is not provided to the power supply apparatus and the electronic device is in use, wherein the voltage output by the solar battery and the charged voltage output by the storage battery are provided to the electronic device upon determining that a control signal is in a first logic state, wherein the storage battery is charged using the voltage output by the solar battery upon determining that the control signal is in a second logic state; and adding the voltage output by the solar battery and the charged voltage output by the storage battery upon determining that the control signal is in the first logic state.
