METHOD FOR POWER MANAGEMENT OF MOBILE COMMUNICATION TERMINAL AND MOBILE COMMUNICATION TERMINAL USING THIS METHOD
First Claim
1. A power management method of a mobile communication terminal, the method comprising:
- sensing a characteristic of a battery coupled to the mobile communication terminal;
providing a power-off suspend mode for the mobile communication terminal when the sensed battery characteristic falls below a predetermined value;
further sensing the characteristic of the battery while the mobile communication terminal is in the power-off suspend mode;
performing a reset of the mobile communication terminal when the further sensed characteristic rises above the predetermined value while the mobile communication terminal is in the power-off suspend mode; and
performing a power-off of the mobile communication terminal when the further sensed characteristic remains below the predetermined value for a prescribed time while the mobile communication terminal is in the power-off suspend mode.

Abstract
A power management method of a mobile communication terminal may include sensing a characteristic of a battery coupled to the mobile communication terminal, providing a power-off suspend mode for the mobile communication terminal when the sensed battery characteristic falls below a predetermined value, and further sensing the characteristic of the battery while the mobile communication terminal is in the power-off suspend mode. This may include performing a reset of the mobile communication terminal when the further sensed characteristic rises above the predetermined value while the mobile communication terminal is in the power-off suspend mode, and performing a power-off of the mobile communication terminal when the further sensed characteristic remains below the predetermined value for a prescribed time while the mobile communication terminal is in the power-off suspend mode.
