ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION AND METHOD FOR OPERATION THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17748680 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION AND METHOD FOR OPERATION THEREOF
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an electronic device with a temperature sensor, a sensor unit, and at least one processor. The processor is programmed to determine if the temperature value detected by the sensor exceeds a threshold. It also checks if certain conditions related to the device's flexibility, presence of a cover case, or user's contact position are met. Based on these conditions, the device operates at different clock levels to manage the temperature.
- The electronic device has a temperature sensor, sensor unit, and processor.
- The processor detects if the temperature exceeds a threshold value.
- It checks conditions related to the device's flexibility, presence of a cover case, or user's contact position.
- Based on these conditions, the device adjusts its clock level to manage the temperature.
Potential Applications
- Smartphones and tablets that can dynamically adjust their clock levels based on temperature and usage conditions.
- Wearable devices that can optimize performance and power consumption based on user interactions and environmental factors.
- Internet of Things (IoT) devices that can adapt their processing speed to prevent overheating and improve efficiency.
Problems Solved
- Overheating of electronic devices due to high temperature conditions.
- Inefficient power consumption caused by running at a high clock level unnecessarily.
- Inaccurate temperature readings due to external factors like user contact or presence of a cover case.
Benefits
- Improved device performance and longevity by preventing overheating.
- Optimized power consumption for better battery life.
- Accurate temperature management considering various factors.
- Enhanced user experience with devices that adapt to different usage scenarios.
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device according to various embodiments may include: a temperature sensor; a sensor unit; and at least one processor. The at least one processor may be configured to determine that a temperature value detected by the temperature sensor exceeds a temperature threshold value; determine whether a condition is satisfied, the condition being related to at least one of a flexible state of the electronic device, whether a cover case is mounted on the electronic device, or a distance between a user's contact position on the electronic device and a position of the at least one processor; based on the condition being satisfied, operate according to a first clock level corresponding to the temperature value; and based on the condition not being satisfied, operate according to a second clock level higher than the first clock level.
