Assignee: SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.
Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 9:
10. A device for determining a cause of overheating of the device, the device comprising:
a neural network processor including a classifier neural network configured to:
monitor a plurality of parameters that are contributing to a temperature of the device;
estimate a degree of contribution of internal factors to the temperature of the device and a degree of contribution of external factors to the temperature of the device, based on the monitored plurality of parameters and a battery temperature of a battery of the device; and
determine whether the degree of contribution of the internal factors to the temperature of the device is greater than the degree of contribution of the external factors to the temperature of the device, based on whether the battery temperature is greater than an ambient temperature of the device;
wherein when the battery temperature is greater than the ambient temperature of the device, then the classifier neural network is configured to determine that the degree of contribution of the internal factors to the temperature of the device is greater than the degree of contribution of the external factors to the temperature of the device; and
wherein when the battery temperature is less than the ambient temperature of the device, then the classifier neural network is configured to determine that the degree of contribution of the external factors to the temperature of the device is greater than the degree of contribution of the internal factors to the temperature of the device.
