First Claim
Patent Images
1. A mobile device, comprising:
- at least one power source;
a sudden-power-off (SPO) estimator configured to detect a state of the at least one power source, determine a probability of an SPO event occurring, and generate an SPO state signal indicating the determined probability of the SPO event occurring; and
a system configured to change an operation mode of the mobile device according to the SPO state signal.

Abstract
A mobile device includes at least one power source, a sudden-power-off (SPO) estimator, and a system. The SPO estimator is configured to detect a state of the at least one power source, determine a probability of an SPO event occurring, and generate an SPO state signal indicating the determined probability of the SPO event occurring. The system is configured to change an operation mode of the mobile device according to the SPO state signal.

20. A method of operating a mobile device, comprising:
-
detecting a state of at least one of a plurality of power sources of the mobile device, wherein the plurality of power sources are each configured to operate as a driving power source of the mobile device; determining a probability of a sudden-power-off (SPO) event occurring at a power source from among the plurality of power sources currently operating as the driving power source according to the detected state; and changing a driving mode of hardware or software of the mobile device according to the determined probability.
