LOW POWER DETECTION APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DISPLAYING INFORMATION
First Claim
1. A low power detection apparatus for displaying information, the low power detection apparatus comprising:
- a detection sensor that detects at least one of an approach to a portable terminal and a motion of the portable terminal; and
a low power manager that determines a motion of the portable terminal for a preset time when the approach to the portable terminal is detected by the detection sensor, and outputs data on the detected approach when there is no motion of the portable terminal for the preset time.

Abstract
A low power detection apparatus and a method for displaying information are provided. When a low power manager drives a proximity detection sensor to generate a proximity interrupt in a state within which the portable terminal is in an idle state, the low power manager drives a motion detection sensor and determines a motion of the portable terminal for a preset time. When there is no motion of the portable terminal for the preset time, the low power manager generates proximity data for displaying screen information and then transmits the generated proximity data to an application processor so as to display screen information which the user desires with low power.

8. A detection method of displaying information in a low power detection apparatus, the detection method comprising:
-
determining whether an approach to a portable terminal is detected by a detection sensor configured to detect at least one of the approach to the portable terminal and a motion of the portable terminal; determining the motion of the portable terminal for a preset time when the approach to the portable terminal is detected; and outputting data on the detected approach when there is no motion of the portable terminal for the preset time. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A portable terminal configured to display information, the terminal comprising:
-
a detection sensor comprising; a proximity detection sensor configured to detect an approach of an object to the portable terminal; and a motion detection sensor configured to detect a motion of the portable terminal; and a low power manager configured to control operation of the detection sensor based on whether the proximity detection sensor detects an approach, and whether the motion detection sensor detects that the portable terminal is moved for time relative to a preset time threshold. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)
