The patent filed by Alps Alpine Co Ltd describes a USB power distribution unit that can distribute power from a battery to a smartphone and a mobile battery connected to different ports. The unit includes features such as no-idling detection, engine restart detection, PD negotiation, and step-up/down functions to manage power distribution efficiently. When a no-idling state is detected, the unit adjusts the power supply to the mobile battery while maintaining power to the preferred device.

The power distribution device consists of multiple ports for connecting electronic devices, a distribution unit for power distribution, and a detection unit to identify a no-idling state in a vehicle. The device can reduce power supply to a non-preferred electronic device while ensuring the preferred device receives adequate power when a no-idling state is detected. Additionally, the unit includes features like voltage step-up, negotiation with connected devices for power supply determination, and USB compatibility for efficient power management in various scenarios.
