METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR REDUCING POWER CONSUMPTION IN MOBILE DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18238242 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 of the mobile device from sleep to wake-up state.
- The display unit of the mobile device is turned on, but only a specific section of the display shows the operating region.
- The operating region includes one or more portions of the display unit, but not the entire screen.
- The system function registered in the operating region is then waited for.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets, or smartwatches can benefit from this method to reduce power consumption during wake-up.
- It can be implemented in various operating systems and user interfaces to improve the efficiency of waking up the device.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Power consumption is minimized during the transition from sleep to wake-up state, which helps to prolong battery life.
- By only activating a specific section of the display, unnecessary power usage is avoided.
Benefits of this technology:
- Extended battery life for mobile devices, leading to longer usage time.
- Improved energy efficiency, reducing the environmental impact of mobile devices.
- Enhanced user experience by providing a faster wake-up process.
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.
