Abstract
An electronic device includes a first processing unit and a second processing unit that has a power state control unit and executes a process corresponding to received data with which the first processing unit is not compatible. When the received data is present in a non-wake-up state, the power state control unit sets a power state of the electronic device to a temporary wake-up state regardless of a period set as a time period of the non-wake-up state to obtain an actual time period of the non-wake-up state as a basic value for calculating the time period of the non-wake-up state. The power state control unit sets average value of a plurality of obtained latest basic values as the time period of the non-wake-up state.
Claims6
An electronic device comprising:
- a first processing unit that executes a process corresponding to received data;
- and
- a second processing unit that executes a process corresponding to the received data with which the first processing unit is not compatible,
- wherein the electronic device includes a power state control unit that controls a power state of the electronic device,
- the power state includes:
- a normal state where the second processing unit that executes the process corresponding to the received data, and
- a power-saving state where a supply of an electric power to the second processing unit is halted at least temporarily while the first processing unit that executes the process corresponding to the received data,
- the power-saving state repeats:
- a temporary wake-up state where the electric power is temporarily supplied to the second processing unit, and
- a non-wake-up state where the supply of the electric power to the second processing unit is halted,
- when the received data with which the first processing unit is not compatible is present in the non-wake-up state, the power state control unit sets the power state of the electronic device to the temporary wake-up state regardless of a period set as a time period of the non-wake-up state, so as to obtain an actual time period of the non-wake-up state as a basic value for calculating the time period of the non-wake-up state, and
- the power state control unit sets an average value of a plurality of obtained latest basic values as the time period of the non-wake-up state.
A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a power control program,
- wherein the power control program is executed by an electronic device including:
- a first processing unit that executes a process corresponding to received data;
- and
- a second processing unit that executes a process corresponding to the received data with which the first processing unit is not compatible,
- the power control program causes the electronic device to function as a power state control unit that controls a power state of the electronic device,
- the power state includes:
- a normal state where the second processing unit that executes the process corresponding to the received data, and
- a power-saving state where a supply of an electric power to the second processing unit is halted at least temporarily while the first processing unit that executes the process corresponding to the received data,
- the power-saving state repeats:
- a temporary wake-up state where the electric power is temporarily supplied to the second processing unit, and
- a non-wake-up state where the supply of the electric power to the second processing unit is halted,
- when the received data with which the first processing unit is not compatible is present in the non-wake-up state, the power state control unit sets the power state of the electronic device to the temporary wake-up state regardless of a period set as a time period of the non-wake-up state, so as to obtain an actual time period of the non-wake-up state as a basic value for calculating the time period of the non-wake-up state, and
- the power state control unit sets an average value of a plurality of obtained latest basic values as the time period of the non-wake-up state.
