Abstract
An electronic device includes a kernel, a power manager to control power to a hardware component, and a neural network to monitor the kernel to recognize performance of a function of the electronic device. The neural network sends a signal to the power manager to reduce or turn off power to the hardware component based on information generated during monitoring of the kernel. The information may provide an indication of hit symbols for hardware components which are to be powered and/or hardware components which do not require power based on one or more operations performed by the kernel.
Claims24
An electronic device comprising:
- a kernel;
- a power manager to control power to a hardware component;
- and
- a neural network to monitor the kernel to recognize performance of a function of the electronic device, the neural network to send a signal to the power manager to reduce or turn off power to the hardware component based on information generated during monitoring of the kernel.
A power management method comprising:
- recognizing a symbol pattern generated from a kernel;
- identifying a function of an electronic device based on the symbol pattern;
- and
- reducing or shutting power off to a hardware component of the electronic device based on the identified function, wherein the hardware component is not required for use in performing the identified function.
A computer-readable medium to store a computer program comprising:
- a first code section to recognize a symbol pattern generated from a kernel;
- a second code section to identify a function of an electronic device based on the symbol pattern;
- and
- a third code section to reduce or shut power off to a hardware component of the electronic device based on the identified function, wherein the hardware component is not required for use in performing the identified function.
