POWER SAVING METHOD FOR HANDHELD MOBILE ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND DEVICE USING THE SAME
First Claim
1. A power saving method to be used by a handheld mobile electronic device with a touch screen comprising:
- determining a tilting angle of the handheld mobile electronic device above and relative to a level surface by using a sensor;
determining whether the tilting angle exceeds a first angle threshold and falls below a second angle threshold;
using a first counting threshold when the tilting angle is above the first angle threshold and is below the second angle threshold;
using a second counting threshold which is less than the first counting threshold when the tilting angle falls below the first angle threshold or exceeds the second angle threshold; and
darkening a touch screen of the handheld mobile electronic device when the handheld mobile electronic does not receive an input within the first counting threshold or the second counting threshold.

Abstract
The present disclosure proposes a power saving technique to be used by a handheld mobile electronic device. In particular, the handheld mobile electronic device would execute functions including determining a tilting angle of the handheld mobile electronic device above and relative to a level surface by using a sensor, determining whether the tilting angle exceeds a first angle threshold and falls below a second angle threshold, using a first counting threshold when the tilting angle is above the first angle threshold and is below the second angle threshold, using a second counting threshold which is less than the first counting threshold when the tilting angle falls below the first angle threshold or exceeds the second angle threshold, and darkening a touch screen of the handheld mobile electronic device when the handheld mobile electronic does not receive an input within the first counting threshold or the second counting threshold.
