ELECTRONIC APPARATUS HAVING SIGNAL PROCESSING CIRCUIT SELECTIVELY ENTERING POWER SAVING MODE ACCORDING TO OPERATION STATUS OF RECEIVER LOGIC AND RELATED METHOD THEREOF
First Claim
1. An electronic apparatus with power saving functionality, comprising:
- a first signal processing circuit, comprising;
a receiver logic, for processing at least a satellite signal generated from a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) to obtain resultant data; and
a power saving determination logic, coupled to the receiver logic, for monitoring an operation status of the receiver logic and generating a first control signal according to the operation status; and
a second signal processing circuit, coupled to the first signal processing circuit, comprising;
a processing logic, for receiving the resultant data from the receiver logic for further signal processing; and
a power saving trigger logic, coupled to the processing logic, for controlling the processing logic to enter a power saving mode from a normal mode when receiving the first control signal from the power saving control logic, wherein the processing logic operating in the power saving mode has less power consumption than the processing logic operating in the normal mode.

Abstract
An electronic apparatus with power saving functionality is disclosed. The electronic apparatus has a first signal processing circuit and a second signal processing circuit. The first signal processing circuit includes a receiver logic for processing at least a satellite signal generated from a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) to obtain resultant data; and a power saving determination logic for monitoring an operation status of the receiver logic and generating a first control signal according to the operation status. The second signal processing circuit includes a processing logic for receiving the resultant data from the receiver logic for further signal processing; and a power saving trigger logic for controlling the processing logic to enter a power saving mode from a normal mode when receiving the first control signal from the power saving control logic.
