Method for informing user of available battery time based on operating mode of hybrid terminal
First Claim
1. A method for informing a user of an available battery time of a battery in a hybrid terminal, which has a plurality of modes and performs a plurality of functions corresponding to a selection of the user, based on the operating mode of the hybrid terminal, the method comprising the steps of:
- subdividing a battery current amount into a plurality of current amount levels for each of the plurality of operating modes of the hybrid terminal, and calculating the available battery time in each operating mode for each of a plurality of current amount levels, so as to generate an available battery time table;
storing the generated available battery time table in a memory of the hybrid terminal;
detecting the operating mode of the hybrid terminal;
detecting the amount of current provided to the hybrid terminal;
obtaining the available battery time corresponding to the detected current amount, from the available battery time table; and
displaying a text message indicating the obtained available battery time.

Abstract
Disclosed is a method for informing a user of an available battery time of a battery in a hybrid terminal based on the operating mode of the hybrid terminal. The hybrid terminal has a plurality of modes and performs a function corresponding to a selection of the user. A battery current amount is subdivided into a plurality of current amount levels for each operating mode of the hybrid terminal, and an available battery time in each operating mode is calculated for each current amount level, so as to generate an available battery time table. The generated available battery time table is stored in a memory of the hybrid terminal. The operating mode of the hybrid terminal, and the amount of current supplied to the hybrid terminal are detected. An available battery time corresponding to the detected current amount is obtained from the available battery time table. A text or a sound message indicating the obtained available battery time is displayed.
