Abstract
A method of minimizing power consumption of an electronic device is provided. The method includes receiving a signal through a plurality of receivers of the electronic device, checking a status of the received signal, determining whether the received signal satisfies a preset amplifier control condition based on the status of the received signal, and adjusting a gain of an amplifier, which is connected to a receiver of the plurality of receivers, in response to the preset amplifier control condition when the preset amplifier control condition is satisfied.
Claims14
A method of minimizing power consumption of an electronic device, the method comprising:
- receiving a signal through a plurality of receivers of the electronic device;
- checking a status of the received signal;
- determining whether the received signal satisfies a preset amplifier control condition based on the status of the received signal;
- determining whether it is possible for the signal to be received and processed using at least one of the plurality of receivers based on the preset amplifier control condition;
- and
- adjusting a gain of an amplifier which is connected to other receivers of the plurality of receivers, excluding the used at least one of the plurality of receivers, when it is possible for the signal to be received and processed using the at least one of the plurality of receivers.
An electronic device comprising:
- a wireless communication unit including a plurality of receivers, and configured to transmit and receive a signal through the plurality of receivers;
- a memory configured to store a preset amplifier control condition which is previously set by a developer and a user;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- receive the signal through the plurality of receivers,
- check a status of the received signal,
- determine whether the received signal satisfies the preset amplifier control condition based on the status of the received signal,
- determine whether it is possible for the signal to be received and processed using at least one of the plurality of receivers based on the preset amplifier control condition, and
- adjust a gain of an amplifier which is connected to other receivers of the plurality of receivers, excluding the used at least one of the plurality of receivers, when it is possible for the signal to be received and processed using the at least one of the plurality of receivers.
