Abstract:
1. A power management method, for setting a power supply arrangement of an electronic device intelligently, comprising: providing at least two sensors, the at least two sensors configured to detect two different physical properties, wherein each physical property corresponds to a state of the electronic device; generating a detecting signal respectively by each of the at least two detecting sensors according to the detected state of the electronic device; respectively comparing each of the detecting signals with at least one corresponding threshold and generating a respective situation signal when the detecting signal meets the at least one corresponding threshold; looking up a look-up table according to the situation signals to determine a situation mode selected from a predetermined plurality of situation modes, wherein the situation modes represent different kinds of external environmental conditions according to the interaction between the electronic device and a user; looking up a look-up table according to the situation mode for generating a control command; and writing in at least one independent bit of a register according to the control command for changing or maintaining a power supply arrangement of at least one peripheral component; wherein the situation modes comprise an off mode in which the electronic device is not in use, a still mode in which the electronic device is in use while disposed on a support surface, and a handheld mode in which the electronic device is in use in a handheld manner; and wherein the step of writing in the at least one independent bit of the register according to the control command for changing or maintaining the power supply arrangement of the at least one peripheral component comprises:
