METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR REDUCING POWER CONSUMPTION IN MOBILE DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18092824 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR REDUCING POWER CONSUMPTION IN MOBILE DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method and apparatus for minimizing power consumption when a mobile device transitions from a sleep state to a wake-up state.

  • The method involves detecting the change from sleep to wake-up state in the mobile device.
  • The display unit of the mobile device is turned on, but only a specific section of the display shows the operating region, which includes one or more portions of the display unit and not the entire screen.
  • The system function registered in the operating region is then waited for, indicating that the mobile device is fully awake.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets, or smartwatches can benefit from this power-saving method.
  • It can be used in any situation where a mobile device needs to transition from sleep to wake-up state, such as receiving notifications, incoming calls, or user interactions.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Power consumption is minimized during the transition from sleep to wake-up state, prolonging the battery life of the mobile device.
  • By only activating a specific section of the display, unnecessary power usage is avoided, resulting in energy efficiency.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Extended battery life: The method reduces power consumption during the wake-up process, allowing the mobile device to operate for longer periods without requiring a recharge.
  • Energy efficiency: By selectively activating only a portion of the display, unnecessary power usage is avoided, making the device more energy-efficient overall.
  • Improved user experience: The mobile device can quickly transition from sleep to wake-up state, allowing users to access information or interact with the device more efficiently.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method and apparatus capable of minimizing power consumption occurring when a mobile device is changed from a sleep state to a wake-up state by partially controlling on/off of a display unit and partial booting control of a system function are provided. The method includes detecting a change of the mobile device from a sleep state to a wake-up state, turning on a display unit of the mobile device such that a first section of the mobile device displays an operating region, the first section including one or more portions of the display unit and less than an entire screen of the display unit and waiting for a system function registered in the operating region.
