System and method for controlling temperature in mobile device

A mobile device, the device comprising:

• a memory configured to store at least one set temperature value and a release temperature value;
• a temperature sensor configured to detect a temperature of the mobile device;
• at least one module comprising a camera;
• and
• a controller,
• wherein the controller is configured:
• to compare, when the camera acquires video data at a first frame rate, the detected temperature of the temperature sensor with the at least one set temperature value, the set temperature value corresponding to a temperature used to determine whether to control the camera to acquire video data at a second frame rate being slower than the first frame rate,
• to control, if the detected temperature is greater than the at least one set temperature value, the camera to acquire video data at the second frame rate,
• to compare, when the camera acquires video data at the second frame rate, the detected temperature of the temperature sensor with the release temperature value, the release temperature value corresponding to a temperature used to determine whether to control the camera to acquire video data at the first frame rate being faster than the second frame rate, and
• to control, if the detected temperature is lower than the release temperature value, the camera to acquire video data at the first frame rate.

A device for controlling temperature in a mobile device, the device comprising:

• a memory configured to store at least one set temperature value and a release temperature value;
• at least one module that emits heat comprising a camera;
• at least one temperature sensor installed near the at least one module;
• and
• a controller,
• wherein the controller is configured:
• to compare an output of the at least one temperature sensor with the at least one set temperature value in order to change a mode of the at least one module from a normal mode to a heat generation suppressing mode,
• to control the camera to acquire video data at a first frame rate while the at least one module is in the heat generation suppressing mode,
• to compare the output of the at least one temperature sensor with the release temperature value in order to change the mode of the at least one module from the heat generation suppressing mode to the normal mode, and
• to control the camera to acquire video data at a second frame rate while the at least one module is in the normal mode, and
• wherein the first frame rate is slower than the second frame rate.
