Abstract:
1. A portable apparatus comprising: a plurality of sensors including an image sensor, wherein said portable apparatus is operable in a plurality of powered operational states including a first operational state and a second operational state, and when in the first operational state the portable apparatus is adapted to perform an image capturing operation; and a processor including: a plurality of connections corresponding to and interconnected with the plurality of sensors; and one or more control units, at least one of said control units having a variably controllable operating frequency, wherein said processor is to control said portable apparatus to change operational state of said portable apparatus from the second operational state to the first operational state and to control said portable apparatus to supply power to one or a plurality of components of the portable apparatus including said image sensor, in response to receiving a first signal representing an activation of the image capturing operation in the second operational state according to output of one or a plurality of said sensors, wherein the operational state is changed while the processor is performing background processing, and wherein at least one of the control units has at least two power consumption states, in which power consumption in one of the power consumption states is less than power consumption in another of the power consumption states.
