Abstract:
1. A method of transmitting a working context, comprising: selecting a power-off standby mode for a system-on-a-chip (SOC); transmitting a variably sized working context with respect to at least one hardware module mounted on the SOC to a predetermined memory, and storing the working context in the predetermined memory; transmitting the working context stored in the predetermined memory to a non-volatile memory outside the SOC, and storing the working context in the non-volatile memory; and executing the power-off standby mode for the SOC, wherein the at least one hardware module comprises at least one microprocessor on the SOC and at least one peripheral device on the SOC, and the working context with respect to the at least one hardware module comprises state values for a same state from each of the at least one microprocessor and the at least one peripheral device.
