Abstract
A mobile terminal and method for providing terminal related information in a power-off state of the terminal are discussed. According to an embodiment, the mobile terminal includes at least one storage unit; and a contactless controller configured to receive a request for information related to the mobile terminal from a requesting device in the power-off state, to obtain the requested information from the storage unit in the power-off state, and to transmit the obtained information to the requesting device in the power-off state.
Claims16
A mobile terminal for providing information related to the mobile terminal in a mobile terminal power-off state, the mobile terminal comprising:
- at least one storage unit;
- and
- a contactless controller configured to receive a request for the information related to the mobile terminal from a requesting device in the power-off state, to obtain the requested information from the at least one storage unit in the power-off state, and to transmit the obtained information to the requesting device in the power-off state.
A method for providing information related to the mobile terminal in a mobile terminal power-off state by using a contactless controller associated with the mobile terminal, the method comprising:
- receiving power through a wired-connected device, a contactless reader, or a battery of the mobile terminal;
- supplying the power to at least one storage unit associated with the mobile terminal in the power-off state;
- receiving a request for the information related to the mobile terminal from a requesting device through the contactless controller in the power-off state;
- obtaining the requested information from the at least one storage unit in the power-off state;
- and
- transmitting the obtained information to the requesting device in the power-off state.
A contactless controlling device configured to interact with a host device and to communicate with a contactless reader, for providing information related to the host device in a power-off state of the host device, the contactless controlling device comprising:
- a controller configured to receive a request for the information related to the host device from a requesting device in the power-off state of the host device, to obtain the requested information from at least one storage unit associated with the host device in the power-off state of the host device, and to transmit the obtained information to the requesting device in the power-off state of the host device.
