APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING POWER OFF IN A MOBILE TERMINAL
First Claim
1. An apparatus configured to control a power off event in the apparatus, the apparatus comprising:
- a power unit configured to supply power from at least one of a battery and an auxiliary power unit;
a battery detachment detector configured to, when detecting that the battery is separated from the power unit of the apparatus in a power on state, output a battery separation signal to an input unit using power from the auxiliary power unit;
the input unit configured to, when receiving the battery separation signal from the battery detachment detector, generate a power off event using power from the auxiliary power unit; and
a controller configured to, when the power off event occurs from the input unit, perform a power off procedure using power from the auxiliary power unit.

Abstract
An apparatus configured to control power off in an apparatus includes a power unit, a battery detachment detector, an input unit, and a controller. The power unit supplies power from at least one of a battery and an auxiliary power unit. When detecting that the battery is separated from the power unit, the battery detachment detector outputs a battery separation signal to the input unit using power from the auxiliary power unit. When receiving the battery separation signal from the battery detachment detector, the input unit generates a power off event using power from the auxiliary power unit. When the power off event occurs from the input unit, the controller performs a power off procedure using power from the auxiliary power unit.
