发明名称 METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TRANSITIONING A DEVICE BETWEEN OPERATING STATES TO CONTROL POWER CONSUMED BY THE DEVICE
摘要 A method including: accounting for a transition time for a device to transition between two of first, second, and powered off states; generating a control signal based on the transition time; receiving, at the device and from a processor, an output signal and the control signal; and consuming power, via the device, while operating in the first state and the second state. The method further includes: in response to the control signal, transitioning the device to the second state based on a frequency of the output signal or the control signal; subsequent to transitioning to the second state, performing a function based on the first output signal; and subsequent to performing the function, generating an output via the device; generating a feedback signal based on the output; and based on the feedback signal, transitioning the device to either the first state or the powered off state.

主权项 1. A method comprising: accounting for a transition time for a device to transition between two of (i) a first state, (ii) a second state, and (iii) a powered off state; generating, via a processor, a control signal based on the transition time; receiving, at the device, a first output signal and the control signal; consuming power, via the device, while operating in the first state and the second state, wherein the device consumes less power while operating in the first state than while operating in the second state; in response to the control signal, transitioning the device to the second state based on a frequency of (i) the first output signal, or (ii) the control signal; subsequent to transitioning to the second state, performing a function based on the first output signal; subsequent to performing the function, generating an output via the device; generating a feedback signal based on the output of the device; and based on the feedback signal, transitioning the device from the second state to either the first state or the powered off state.
