Method and apparatus for reducing power consumption in digital living network alliance network
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- selecting, at a first electronic device, at least one content from one or more contents stored in a second electronic device communicating with the first electronic device via a network;
receiving, at the first electronic device, at least one portion of the at least one content from the second electronic device in a non-power saving mode of the network; and
transitioning the network from the non-power saving mode to a power saving mode based at least in part on a determination that the receiving of the at least one portion is completed,wherein the determination is based at least partly on whether the second electronic device is transmitting the at least one content to the first electronic device.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for reducing power consumption in an electronic device are provided. The method includes receiving media content from a server, establishing a control state based on the media content, controlling power of at least one of a communication connection device and a display according to the control state of the received media content, determining whether a reception of the media content is completed, determining whether the electronic device performs functions for playing and controlling a digital media, transitioning a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), when it has been determined that a reception of the media content and that the functions are not performed by the electronic device, to a power save mode, and disconnecting the WLAN, when it has been determined that receiving the media content is completed and that the functions are performed by the electronic device, wherein the electronic device comprises the communication connection device.

11. A method comprising:
-
transmitting, at a second electronic device, at least one content selected from one or more contents stored in the second electronic device via a network coupled to one or more first electronic devices; and terminating a network connection of the second electronic device based at least in part on a determination that the transmitting of the at least one content is completed and that there is no request for the one or more contents from the one or more first electronic devices for at least a specified period time. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13)

14. An apparatus comprising:
-
a display to display at least one content; and a controller operatively coupled to the display, the controller configured to; select at least one content from one or more contents stored in an electronic device communicating with the apparatus via a network, receive at least one portion of the at least one content from the electronic device in a non-power saving mode of the network, and transition the network from the non-power saving mode to a power saving mode based at least in part on a determination that the receiving of the at least one portion is completed, wherein the determination is based at least partly on whether the electronic device is transmitting the at least one content to the apparatus. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
