Battery 162 is arranged on battery case 106 (seeing Figure 1A), and to radio communication device 100 power supplies.In example embodiment, when closing radio communication device 100, will disconnect such as the element and the battery 162 of CPU150, memory 152, timer 154, transmitter 156 and receiver 158.So when radio communication device was closed, it is consumed power not.In one embodiment, in case impel when starting power key 114 by the user, to CPU150 and memory 152 power supplies.CPU150 carries out instruction in the read-only memory part be stored in memory to start CPU.So CPU150 carries out a series of instructions, design above-mentioned instruction and determine that whether the user is just wanting to open the method for radio communication device 100 with the indication user, start power key 114.Describe the step of taking by CPU below in detail and whether want to open radio communication device 100 with definite user.If CPU150 determines the user and wants to open radio communication device 100, so can with radio communication device (such as, transmitter 156, receiver 158, keyboard 118 and display 130) other parts be coupled to battery 162.If CPU150 determines to be not intended to start power key 114, radio communication device 100 disconnects the power supply of CPU150 and memory 152 so.On the other hand, in case initial start power key 114, just can be to all part power supplies of radio communication device 100.CPU150 carries out above-mentioned steps and determines whether the user wants to open radio communication device.If CPU150 determines the user and wants to open radio communication device 100, give all part power supplies of radio communication device so wittingly.Yet if CPU150 determines to be not intended to start power key 114, radio communication device 100 disconnects the power supply of all elements so, comprises CPU150 and memory 152.
In another embodiment, battery is powered to the some parts of radio communication device 100 serially.For example, CPU can be arranged under low-power or " sleep (sleep) " pattern, so that the power consumption minimum of battery 162.Power key 114 usefulness are accomplished the input of CPU150, CPU is arranged under " clear-headed (awake) " pattern.When user's initial start power key 114, CPU150 changes over awake mode from sleep pattern, and execution command is to determine whether the user wants to open radio communication device 100 at first.If CPU150 determines the user and want to open radio communication device, so can said method the remainder of radio communication device 100 be coupled to battery 162.If CPU150 determines to be not intended to start power key 114, CPU gets back to sleep pattern so.
Be coupled together by the each several part of bus system 166 with radio communication device 100, wherein above-mentioned bus system comprises power bus, control signal bus and status signal bus in addition, and data/address bus.Yet for clarity, each bus is as shown in Figure 2 as bus system 166.
Conventional wireless communications devices allows to start power supply by pressing power key simply.Yet this operation can cause the accidental activation power key.The present invention designs and experiences the user and start power key 114, and only the user is started power key under predetermined condition and just respond.
In example embodiment, the user must before the startup of 100 pairs of power keys of radio communication device responds, start power key 114 in the given time.This is shown in Figure 3, and wherein radio communication device 100 is being designated as t 0The moment detect the initial start of power key 114.Radio communication device 100 continues the state of monitoring power key 114, until be designated as t in Fig. 3 1Predetermined instant.If at moment t 0To moment t 1Between whole during, start power key 114 continuously, the startup of 100 pairs of power keys of radio communication device responds so.In example embodiment, in may requiring during 3 seconds, radio communication device 100 starts power key 114 continuously.At moment t 0To moment t 1During in, start first operator scheme that power key 114 illustrates key continuously, this can not be owing to being not intended to due to extruding (jostle) radio communication device 100, and in fact want to start the designator of power key 114 as the expression user.Second operator scheme is such as less than from moment t 0To moment t 1Time durations during in the temporary transient power key 114 that starts, can not be that the user has a mind to the result that starts, and can be ignored by radio communication device 100.
In the example of first operator scheme, as shown in Figure 3, radio communication device 100 continuous monitorings are from moment t 0To moment t 1During in the state of first key 114.In another embodiment as shown in Figure 4, radio communication device 100 is at moment t 0Detect the initial start of power key 114, and at moment t 1Simply sample the once more state of power key rather than the state of continuous monitoring power key.First logic state when power key 114 has on enable position not, and second logic state when starting.If at moment t 1Start power key 114 (that is, under second logic state), radio communication device 100 will start power key in response to the user so.
In another embodiment as shown in Figure 5, radio communication device 100 is at moment t 0Monitor the initial start of power supply 114.At moment t 0Detect after the initial start of power key radio communication device 100 during time window, the sample state of power key rather than the state of continuous monitoring power key 114.In Fig. 5, use label t 2And t 3Come the express time window.At moment t 0After the initial start power key 100, at predetermined instant t 2The top of formation time window, and after the initial start power key, at predetermined instant t 3Finish.If at initial time t 0Start power key 114, and at moment t 2With moment t 3Between any moment of time window all be in active state, the startup of 100 pairs of power keys of radio communication device responds.In example embodiment, time window is approximately 200 milliseconds, simultaneously at moment t 0(the moment t of about 3 seconds formation time window tops after the initial start mains switch 114 2Expression).
Available multiple technologies detect the user and in fact have a mind to start power key 114.For example, radio communication device 100 can be monitored the state of power key 114, and detects the repeatedly startup of power key in the scheduled period.Shown in this Fig. 6, wherein at moment t 0Detect the initial start of power key 114.According to this embodiment of the invention, the user must remove deactivation t constantly 0Predetermined instant t as shown in Figure 6 4Between repeatedly start power key 114.In example as shown in Figure 6, the user must be at moment t 0With moment t 4Three startup power keys 114 in scheduled period during this time, the wherein for example above-mentioned scheduled period can be during three seconds.
Illustrate in the various technology described in Fig. 3 to 6 and to be used to determine when that the user is actual wants to start power key 114.Radio communication device is operated power key by detecting the user under an above-mentioned preassigned pattern, carry out this task.On the other hand, can adopt the user that other operator schemes of power key 114 are satisfied radio communication device 100.In addition, radio communication device 100 is satisfied in can the sample combination of different user operator scheme.For example, can programme to CPU150 and be familiar with acceptable multiple different start-up mode.CPU150 can be identified in (for example, 3 seconds) in the predetermined time period start continuously power key 114 or at the fixed time during in repeatedly start power key and user to power key to accept operator scheme corresponding.Therefore, radio communication device 100 can adopt the user with any combination that can accept start-up mode operation to power key.
In the example embodiment of the radio communication device 100 shown in Figure 1A and 1B, power key 114 is arranged on the top of shell 102, and is exposed to all the time make things convenient for the user to start it.When radio communication device 100 during, be used in the various operator schemes shown in Fig. 3 to 6 with closing structure (shown in Figure 1A).Yet, when radio communication device 100 is in Unclosing structure (shown in Figure 1B), can adopt first operator scheme through changing.Experience radio communication device 10 with the electric switch that is coupled to hinge member 138 (not shown) and be in Unclosing structure or closing structure.
Power key 114 reflected that through changing operator scheme the user is using with the radio communication device 100 of Unclosing structure and may want to start power key 114.For example, can adopt at moment t 0The temporary transient power key 114 (as shown in Figure 7) that starts is as when first operator scheme of radio communication device 100 during with Unclosing structure.On the other hand, can adopt start-up mode as shown in Figure 3, this requires from moment t 0To moment t 1Initial start begin continuous startup, but change time durations and reflect that radio communication device is in the fact of Unclosing structure.For example, when radio communication device 100 is in closing structure (referring to Figure 1A), from moment t 0To t 1Time durations can be 3 seconds, and when radio communication device during at Unclosing structure, from t 0To t 1Time cycle only be 1 second kind.(seeing Figure 1B).Similarly, radio communication device 100 can be at moment t 0Predetermined instant t after the initial start 1Perhaps use shown in Figure 4 and 5 from moment t 2To moment t 3Time window, the sampling power key 114 state, but change simultaneously the time cycle with the reflection radio communication device be in Unclosing structure.
Radio communication device 100 also can adopt first operator scheme to power key 114, opens radio communication device 100, and closes radio communication device through first operator scheme that changes.For example, if radio communication device 100 is in Unclosing structure (seeing Figure 1B), so only need the temporary transient power key 114 that starts to open radio communication device 100, as shown in Figure 7.Yet, need in time durations as shown in Figure 3, start power key 114 continuously and close radio communication device 100.
100 of radio communication devices as Figure 1A expose power key 114 under closing structure.Yet, can adopt another embodiment of radio communication device 100, wherein also can expose other keys, such as options button 126 (seeing Figure 1B).Predetermined first operator scheme can require to start more than a key, such as power key 114 and an options button 126.Can comprise with the corresponding various operator schemes of first operator scheme of being accepted starting power key 114 and an options button 126 simultaneously, perhaps in the scheduled period, start power key 114 and options button 126 continuously.
Radio communication device 100 also can produce and require prompting, requires additionally to be enabled in one or more keys on the keyboard 118 (seeing Figure 1B and Fig. 2) to carry out required function.For example, the initial temporary transient power key 114 that starts is responded, radio communication device 100 can be used on the prompting on the display 130, as shown in Figure 7.Can programme with display reminding to display 130, come the requirement user to start power key 114 or a specific options button 126 confirms to close radio communication device 100.First operator scheme can require the prompting that takes place in the scheduled period that shows in prompting responded and start power key 114 or options button 126.
Other acceptable operating first pattern-dependent are in the position of front cover member 104.For example, suppose to open radio communication device 100 and be in open mode (seeing Figure 1B), at the fixed time during in close front cover member 104 before the temporary transient power key 114 that starts as the indication of the user being wanted to close radio communication device.Similarly, suppose to close radio communication device 100 and be in closing structure (seeing Figure 1A), in the scheduled period, open before the front cover member 104 the temporary transient power key 114 that starts as the indication that the user is wanted to open radio communication device.
So, the gratifying designator that the user wants to carry out specific function is satisfied in a plurality of different operation modes conducts of each key on radio communication device 100.Though above-mentioned example all is that very clear, principle of the present invention also can be used for starting other keys at use power key 114.For example, increase or the in advance storage speed dialing of deletion in memory 104 may require with the predictive mode of operation start key, such as while start key, start key according to the order of sequence, or the like.Similarly, principle of the present invention can be used for radio communication device, wherein above-mentioned radio communication device exposes all keys all the time under the situation that is not intended to start key.
Should be appreciated that even propose various embodiments of the present invention and advantage in the superincumbent description, but top announcement only is used for explanation, can carry out variations in detail to it, still in wide concept of the present invention.For example, the combination to different operation modes can be used as the gratifying designator of the user being wanted to carry out specific function.In addition, can only be under some operator scheme of radio communication device 100, different operation modes is only effectively.For example, when opening radio communication device at first, can adopt the combination of some operator scheme or operator scheme.After finishing calling, available one or more different operation modes are closed radio communication device.So radio communication device 100 can adopt independently operator scheme of the combination of multiple modes of operation, operator scheme and state.Therefore, only limit scope of the present invention by appended claims.
