摘要:
The present invention relates to an electronic equipment mode switching apparatus and method based on a skin contact made by a user using the electronic equipment, thereby being capable of minimizing the power consumption of electronic equipment and also of instantly operating electronic equipment as soon as skin contact is made. The electronic equipment mode switching apparatus includes skin contact detection means for detecting electricity generated when a user's skin is touched, logic circuit means for generating a mode switching signal to switch a power supply mode of an electronic device when skin contact is detected by the skin contact detection means, and mode switching means for switching the power supply mode of the electronic device in response to the mode switching signal generated by the logic circuit means.
