Selecting operation modes in electronic device
First Claim
1. A method for selecting an operation mode in an electronic device comprising one or more subunits for which, in terms of power consumption, at least two operation modes are determinable, one of the modes being an active mode and one being a sleep mode, in which sleep mode power consumption is smaller than that in the active mode, the method comprising:
- determining a movement of the device by measuring one or more movement components;
keeping the operation mode of one or more subunits of the device as the active mode as long as the movement of the device is unknown;
changing the operation mode of at least one subunit of the device from the active mode to the sleep mode when the movement is identified;
keeping the operation mode of one or more subunits of the device as the sleep mode as long as the movement of the device is known; and
changing the operation mode of at least one subunit of the device from the sleep mode to the active mode when the movement changes to unknown.

Abstract
The invention relates to an electronic device comprising means for controlling operation modes, one or more subunits for which, in terms of power consumption, at least two operation modes are determinable, one of the modes being an active mode and one being a sleep mode, in which sleep mode power consumption is smaller than that in the active mode. The device comprises means for measuring a movement of the device by measuring one or more movement components, the means for controlling the operation modes being configured to keep the operation mode of one or more subunits of the device as the active mode as long as the movement of the device is unknown, change the operation mode of at least one subunit of the device from the active mode to the sleep mode when the movement is identified, keep the operation mode of one or more subunits of the device as the sleep mode as long as the movement of the device is known, change the operation mode of at least one subunit of the device from the sleep mode to the active mode when the movement changes to unknown.

17. An electronic device comprising:
-
means for controlling operation modes;
one or more subunits for which, in terms of power consumption, at least two operation modes are determinable, one of the modes being an active mode and one being a sleep mode, in which sleep mode power consumption is smaller than that in the active mode, wherein the device comprises;
means for measuring a movement of the device by measuring one or more movement components, the means for controlling the operation modes being configured to;
keep the operation mode of one or more subunits of the device as the active mode as long as the movement of the device is unknown;
change the operation mode of at least one subunit of the device from the active mode to the sleep mode when the movement is identified;
keep the operation mode of one or more subunits of the device as the sleep mode as long as the movement of the device is known;
change the operation mode of at least one subunit of the device from the sleep mode to the active mode when the movement changes to unknown. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40)
