Apparatus and method for reducing power consumption in portable terminal

摘要

An apparatus and method for reducing power consumption of a portable terminal are provided. More particularly, an apparatus and method for reducing power consumption generated in an idle state in order to solve a power consumption problem in a portable terminal are provided. The apparatus includes a stale determination unit which is configured independently from an application processor for controlling applications and which wakes up when entering an idle mode to allow the application processor to sleep, and thereafter determines a state of the portable terminal, and if it is determined that the portable terminal escapes from the idle mode, allows the application processor to wake up.

1. An electronic device comprising:
a memory; one or more sensors; an application processor configured to execute applications; and a sensor processor configured to:
control the one or more sensors to obtain sensing information,control the memory to store the sensing information in the memory while the application processor is in a sleep state, andsend a notification to the application processor, wherein, the application processor is further configured to obtain at least a portion of the stored sensing information from the memory based on the notification.
