You are missing the charger circuit for the Li-ion battery and you are also missing the voltage stepup circuit to increase the battery voltage to 5V output.

Some people wrongly think that the voltage of a Li-ion cell shows its remaining capacity. Instead its discharge vs time must be measured and used as log for calculating the remaining capacity as the circuit measures the current and the time. Since the capacity decreases with the number of cycles the log must be updated.
The blocks are simply connected in a logical manner. The charging circuit comes first and the voltage stepup circuit comes last.

I absolutely agree with you. Now, I'm concentrating on detail block diagram for portable power bank. I'd like to indicator led only "on" when charging battery or discharging to cell phone. And charging circuit and step up circuit operates only pressing a button.
The charging circuit should work each time the power bank has a 5V input. The voltage stepup circuit should work each time the power bank has a load. Both circuits can light the LED.

This is good idea. However, I haven't understand clearly about inputs and output of circuit. charging battery only operates when having power supply, besides, when circuit have load (the stepup circuit works), these leds will show level of Liion.
