Electronic device and method for reducing cpu power consumption

Abstract

An electronic device includes a processing system, a storage unit for storing a table, an input unit for generating instruction in response to the operations of the user, and an actuating unit for generating an interrupt in response to the instructions to request the processing system to execute the instructions to perform desired functions. The table recording a relationship between an occupancy and a desired operating speed of the processing system. When the processing system is requested to execute instructions, the processing system calculates the occupancy and adjusts operating speed according to the calculated occupancy and the table. A method for reducing CPU power consumption is also provided.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
