Abstract
A power management control apparatus including a memory unit configured to store a program for disabling a previously determined Link power management state when a system enters a specific operating state and for enabling the disabled Link power management state when the system is resumed, a processor configured to access the memory unit and to execute the program, and a control unit connected to the processor and the memory unit and configured to manage Link power based on a result of executing the program.
Claims25
A power management control apparatus, comprising:
- a memory unit configured to store a program for disabling a previously determined Link power management state when a system enters a specific operating state and for enabling the disabled Link power management state when the system is resumed;
- a processor configured to access the memory unit and to execute the program;
- and
- a control unit connected to the processor and the memory unit and configured to manage Link power based on a result of executing the program.
A power management control method, comprising:
- detecting a change of an operating state of a system;
- confirming whether a current Link power management state is enabled or disabled;
- and
- enabling or disabling a previously determined Link power management state based on a result of the confirming step.
A power management control method, comprising:
- disabling a previously determined Link power management state if it is detected that a system state is entering a standby state from a normal operating state;
- and
- enabling the previously determined Link power management state if it is detected that the system state is entering the normal operating state from the standby state.
A computer program product embodied on a computer-readable medium, the computer program product comprising:
- a first computer code configured to determine when a system enters an specific operating state;
- a second computer code configured to disable a previously determined Link power management state when the first computer code determines the system enters the specific operating state;
- and
- a third computer program code configured to enable the disabled Link power management state when the system is resumed.
