Abstract:
1. A method for reducing electromagnetic interference in an electronic device, the electronic device comprising a plurality of components including at least one radio component and at least one non-radio component, the method comprising: (a) performing a first operation using a radio component in the electronic device during an interval between a first time and a second time, wherein the radio component is in an active state during the interval between the first time and the second time; (b) receiving an activation request for a non-radio component in the electronic device; (c) determining if an operation can be performed using the non-radio component without resulting in interference with any one of the plurality of components in the electronic device in an active state; and (d) if (c) is true: at a third time, transmitting an activation control signal for the non-radio component, wherein the non-radio component enters an active state in response to (d).
