Embodiment
Be the switching of the electric source modes that makes portable electronic devices more intuition, convenience and fast, the present invention is to use accelerometer to detect to impose on the external force of portable electronic devices and determines present placement state, and auto switching electric source modes according to this.
Shown in Figure 2 is calcspar according to the portable electronic devices of a preferred embodiment of the present invention.Portable electronic devices 200 comprises accelerometer (Accelerometer) 210, system chipset (Systemchipset) 215 and processor 220.
Accelerometer 210 for example comprises three inductors, responds to portable electronic devices 200 (xyz) stressed variation on three dimensions respectively.By this, accelerometer 210 is measured the external force that imposes on portable electronic devices 200 and is changed S1.The screen periphery that is located at portable electronic devices 200 with accelerometer 210 is an example, and when external force variation S1 kept a definite value, expression portable electronic devices 200 was not subjected to user's operation; If the vertical screen direction is defined as the z axle, changing when external force that S1 imposes on the z axle is during for forward, and the screen of expression portable electronic devices 200 is for up; And be during for negative sense when external force changes S1, the screen of expression portable electronic devices 200 is for down, vice versa.Processor 220 utilizes the variation S1 of external force to judge the placement state of portable electronic devices, and switches the electric source modes of portable electronic devices 200 according to this.Electric source modes can be normal manipulation mode, stand-by/sleep mode and shutdown mode etc.
With the computing machine is example, and normal manipulation mode is general power supply state, and promptly power supply provides each assembly use in the computing machine, and shutdown then is the stop supplies computer power supply.Battery saving mode then comprises standby mode and park mode, under standby mode, is that current data is kept in the internal memory, therefore only to the internal memory power supply.The characteristics of this pattern are that the time ratio dormant state of recovering when waking up will be lacked.Park mode then is that the data in the internal memory temporarily are kept in the hard disk, cuts off the power supply of internal memory then.Therefore the power supply of most of parts all is cut off under park mode.When waking up, because swap data between hard disk and the internal memory, therefore returning to the required time ratio standby mode of original state will grow.
The switching of electric source modes can define according to user ' s preference.The user is in operation, portable electronic devices 200 can not put in screen mode down usually, because this placement state is not easy to write, more can't inspect the information on the screen.Therefore, the screen of portable electronic devices 200 is put to heads state is defined as user's range of definition, promptly user's sight line can concentrate on the state on the screen.So when the placement state of portable electronic devices 200 is non-when dropping on this user's range of definition, after treating that a schedule time guarantees not have the variation of external force, the electric source modes that promptly switches portable electronic devices 200 is park mode or shutdown.
Otherwise, if the placement state of portable electronic devices 200 is when dropping on this user's range of definition, if through a schedule time, external force does not have under the situation about changing in fact, and portable electronic devices 200 is in (IDLE) state of awaiting orders, and then switches the electric source modes of portable electronic devices
Therefore, by setting user's range of definition, the placement state that present embodiment can be looked portable electronic devices is with auto switching electric source modes effectively.
Preferably, processor 220 can design two schedule times.If the placement state of portable electronic devices 200 is to drop on user's range of definition, then sustainable utilization accelerometer 210 detects the external force that imposes on portable electronic devices 200.If after treating for first schedule time, accelerometer 210 does not have the variation that detects external force, and portable electronic devices 200 is in (IDLE) state of awaiting orders, then switch electric source modes to one first pattern of portable electronic devices, for example switch to battery saving mode (standby mode or park mode) by normal manipulation mode.And if in this battery saving mode, accelerometer does not also have the variation of the external force of detecting after one second schedule time, and representing portable electronic devices is stationary state, then more makes portable electronic devices switch to one second pattern, for example shutdown.By this, this embodiment can reach purpose of power saving effectively.
Otherwise, if in second schedule time, when accelerometer detects the external force of being experienced and changes, then electric source modes is switched to normal manipulation mode by battery saving mode (standby mode or park mode).
Shown in Figure 3 is method flow diagram according to the auto switching electric source modes of preferred embodiment of the present invention.This method starts from step 310, the variation that utilizes accelerometer 210 to measure the external force that imposes on portable electronic devices 200.Then, in step 320,, try to achieve the placement state of portable electronic devices 200 by the variation of external force.Then, in step 330, whether drop on user's range of definition by the variation of external force decision portable electronic devices.If then treat the process of one first schedule time, shown in step 340.If not, then get back to step 310.After step 340, whether this method execution in step 350 is to detect the variation of external force in judging between accelerometer 210 at this moment.If accelerometer 210 at this moment between in do not detect the variation of external force, and portable electronic devices 200 is in (IDLE) state of awaiting orders, and then in step 360, switches electric source modes to one first pattern of portable electronic devices 200, for example a battery saving mode; If then switch back the normal manipulation mode shown in step 392.
After step 360, then execution in step 370 waited for for one second schedule time in first pattern.Then, in step 380, judge that the external force that imposes on portable electronic devices 200 has no change in second scheduled period.If no external force changes, then shown in step 390, Switching power pattern to one second pattern for example makes portable electronic devices 200 shutdown.Otherwise if in step 380, the external force that imposes on portable electronic devices changes, and then portable electronic devices 200 is switched to normal manipulation mode, shows as step 392.
The present invention states the method for the disclosed auto switching electric source modes of embodiment, utilizes accelerometer, can detect the variation of the placement state of portable electronic devices, and auto switching electric source modes effectively.This portable electronic devices is to can be flat computer, notebook, personal digital assistant or the like.
In addition, by the Switching power pattern, embodiments of the invention can when being static, switch to battery saving mode, to reach purpose of power saving at portable electronic devices.
In sum; though the present invention discloses as above with a preferred embodiment; right its is not in order to limit the present invention; anyly have the knack of this skill person; without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention; when can being used for a variety of modifications and variations, so protection scope of the present invention is as the criterion when looking accompanying the claim person of defining.
