ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING OVERHEAT OF THE ELECTRONIC DEVICE BASED ON CONTROLLING BACKGROUND PROCESS IN THE ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17987166 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING OVERHEAT OF THE ELECTRONIC DEVICE BASED ON CONTROLLING BACKGROUND PROCESS IN THE ELECTRONIC DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an electronic device that can identify if it is overheating and adjust its scheduling method accordingly.
- The device includes a communication module, temperature sensor, memory, and processor.
- When the device is not overheating, it uses a designated scheduling method for processes.
- When the device is overheating, it identifies the processor usage of background processes and groups them.
- It then determines specific time intervals for the background process group to operate and not operate.
- The device performs a second scheduling for processes based on these time intervals and controls them accordingly.
Potential Applications
- This technology can be applied in smartphones, tablets, laptops, and other electronic devices that may experience overheating issues.
- It can be useful in industrial settings where electronic devices are exposed to high temperatures.
Problems Solved
- Overheating of electronic devices can lead to performance issues and even damage to the device.
- By identifying overheating and adjusting the scheduling method, this technology helps prevent potential damage and ensures optimal performance.
Benefits
- Prevents overheating-related performance issues and potential damage to electronic devices.
- Optimizes the scheduling of processes based on the device's temperature, improving overall performance and efficiency.
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device may include a communication module, a temperature sensor, a memory and a processor operatively connected to the communication module, the temperature sensor, and the memory, wherein the processor is configured to identify whether the electronic device is in an overheating state, perform first scheduling by using a scheduling method designated for processes, when the electronic device is not in the overheating state, and control the processes based on the first scheduling, and, when the electronic device is in the overheating state, identify processor usage of at least one background process among the processes, identify at least one background process group based on the processor usage of the at least one background process, identify a first time interval, in which the at least one background process group operates, and a second time interval, in which the at least one background process group does not operate, perform second scheduling for the processes based on the first time interval and the second time interval, and control the processes based on the second scheduling.
