Abstract
A method and an electronic device capable of saving power are disclosed. The electronic device includes a power save system, a media player application and an audio interface. The audio interface includes an audio driver module, and an audio processor. The power save system includes a monitor unit, and a control unit. The monitor unit monitors the current mode of the media player application. If the media player application is in the mute mode, the control unit transmits a power-save signal to switch off the audio processor to save power of the electronic device.
Claims18
A computer-implemented method for saving power in an electronic device, the electronic device comprising an audio processor, and a media player application having mute and non-mute modes, the method comprising:
- monitoring a current mode of the media player application;
- and
- switching off the audio processor in response to monitoring that the media player application is in the mute mode.
