Title: Minimizing power consumption in e.g. portable computing devices
Inventor: ANDERSIN KARI
IPC: G06F1/32
Filed: 1995-10-06
Abstract: To minimize power consumption in a computing device, which executes requested tasks in a high power mode, in which it has normal processing power and, correspondingly, normal power consumption, and is then switched to a low power mode, in which it has limited processing power and, correspondingly, a considerably lower power consumption, the power consumption is decreased by lengthening the time during which the device remains in the low power mode in such a way that the device is not switched to a high power mode immediately when the user starts the input, but the switching is delayed. The switching to the high power mode can be done on the basis of a sign included in the input, after a certain time (set or programmable) has passed since the input began, when a specified time has passed since the input stopped, or when a certain amount of information has been received after the input began. The means for the user input may preferably comprise a touch screen and a pen means.
