Method for performing application wake-up management for a portable device by classifying one application wake-up event of a plurality of application wake-up events as a triggering event for the other application wake-up events

An apparatus for performing application wake-up event management, the apparatus comprising at least one portion of an electronic device, the apparatus comprising:

• a wake-up control circuit arranged to wake up the electronic device according to at least one application wake-up event;
• and
• a processing circuit, coupled to the wake-up control circuit, arranged to control operations of the electronic device, and further arranged to classify a plurality of application wake-up events of the electronic device according to at least one predetermined rule, wherein a specific application wake-up event of the plurality of application wake-up events is classified to be a triggering event, and one or more other application wake-up events of the plurality of wake-up events are classified to be grouping events;
• wherein the processing circuit arranges the grouping events as a group corresponding to the triggering event by modifying a default application wake-up time of each of the grouping events to be equivalent to the application wake-up time of the triggering event, for triggering the grouping events by utilizing the triggering event;
• and after a power saving state of the electronic device is entered, in response to both the application wake-up time of the triggering event and the modified default application wake-up time of the grouping events being reached at the same time in the power saving state, the electronic device exits the power saving state and the processing circuit performs operations corresponding to the triggering event and the grouping events, respectively.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium, having program instructions for instructing a processor of an electronic device to perform a method comprising the steps of:

• classifying a plurality of application wake-up events of the electronic device according to at least one predetermined rule, wherein a specific application wake-up event of the plurality of application wake-up events is classified to be a triggering event, and one or more other application wake-up events of the plurality of application wake-up events are classified to be grouping events;
• arranging the grouping events as a group corresponding to the triggering event by modifying a default application wake-up time of each of the grouping events to be equivalent to the application wake-up time of the triggering event, for triggering the grouping events by utilizing the triggering event;
• entering a power saving state of the electronic device;
• and
• in response to both the application wake-up time of the triggering event and the modified default application wake-up time of the grouping events being reached at the same time in the power saving state, exiting the power saving state and performing operations corresponding to the triggering event and the grouping events, respectively.
