摘要:
A method and an apparatus for controlling a sleep mode in a portable terminal having a main controller and a sub-controller operating at low power are provided. The method includes detecting, by the sub-controller, a first sensor signal generated by a first sensor when the main controller is in the sleep mode, extracting a sensed pattern from the detected first sensor signal, determining whether the extracted sensed pattern is substantially identical with a preset wake-up pattern, and cancelling the sleep mode by waking-up the main controller when the extracted sensed pattern is substantially identical with the wake-up pattern.

An apparatus and method for waking up a main processor (MP) in a low power or ultra-low power device preferably includes the MP, and a sub-processor (SP) that utilizes less power than the MP to monitor ambient conditions than the MP, and may be internalized in the MP. The MP and SP can remain in a sleep mode while an interrupt sensor monitors for changes in the ambient environment. A sensor is preferably an interrupt-type sensor, as opposed to polling-type sensors conventionally used to detect ambient changes. The MP and SP may remain in sleep mode, as a low-power or an ultra-low power interrupt sensor operates with the SP being in sleep mode, and awakens the SP via an interrupt indicating a detected change. The SP then wakes the MP after comparing data from the interrupt sensor with values in storage or with another sensor.

A method for connecting an electronic device using an eye-tracking technique and an electronic device that implements the method are provided. The method includes acquiring eye-tracking information, obtaining image information corresponding to the eye-tracking information, comparing the image information with specific information about at least one external device, and based on the comparison, determining a specific external device to be connected from among the at least one external device.

A location-based service provision method and system of an electronic device is provided for supporting location-based service even in a sleep mode. The electronic device is provided with a main control unit, a low power sub-control unit, and a sensing unit. The sub-control unit collects sensor information provided by the sensor unit for measuring movement (e.g., speed and direction) of the electronic device, and calculates first location information based on the sensor information. The sub-control unit provides the location-based service based on the first location information.

摘要:
This disclosure relates to an apparatus and method for managing the memory of a mobile terminal. The mobile terminal includes a main system that operates with normal power, and a subsystem that operates with low power. The subsystem operates at least one feature of the mobile terminal while the main system is in a sleep mode. Binary data may be used to operate the at least one feature of the mobile terminal. When binary data is stored in memory operatively coupled to the main system, the binary data is retrieved and copied to memory operatively coupled to the subsystem, allowing the subsystem to operate the feature while the main system is in sleep mode.
