STANDBY POWER CONTROL DEVICE AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF
First Claim
1. A standby power control device, comprising:
- a plurality of electronic devices each of which is operated in a standby mode and a normal mode; and
a central control unit configured to monitor load power consumed by one of the electronic devices, and perform a control operation for electrically connecting or isolating the one of the electronic devices to or from a power line by referring to a result of the monitoring and each profile information of the electronic devices,wherein the central control unit controls the one of the electronic devices to be isolated or keep a connection from or to the power line when the load power consumed by the one of the electronic devices is kept as the standby mode over a reference time.

Abstract
Provided is a power control device and a control method thereof for reducing power consumption. A standby power control devices includes a plurality of electronic devices each of which is operated in a standby mode and a normal mode, and a central control unit configured to monitor load power consumed by one of the electronic devices, and perform a control operation for electrically connecting or isolating the one of the electronic devices to or from a power line by referring to a result of the monitoring and each profile information of the electronic devices, wherein the central control unit controls the one of the electronic devices to be isolated or keep a connection from or to the power line when the load power consumed by the one of the electronic devices is kept as the standby mode over a reference time.

18. A method for controlling standby power of a plurality of electronic devices, the method comprising:
-
detecting power consumed by each of the electronic devices; determining whether there is one whose power consumption is kept as a standby mode over a reference time among the electronic devices; and electrically isolating the electronic device which is kept as the standby mode over the reference time from a power line by referring to profile information, wherein the profile information includes identifier information of an electronic device among the electronic devices whose connection to the power line is maintained even if it is kept as the standby mode over the reference time. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
